Expert Answers about Ram 2500


  • B&W Companion and Turnover Ball for a 2020 Ram 2500 w/ Ram Box
  • The B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit - 30,000 lbs item # BWGNRK1320 you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2020 Ram 2500 without the OEM prep package. The turnover ball system does work with the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # BWRVK3500-5W. This system will work great but you will need a rotating pin box like the Reese Sidewinder. Without the rotating pin box you will not have the clearance for towing without hitting your Ramboxes....

  • How To Tow a 5th Wheel Trailer w/ a 2020 Ram 2500 w/ Factory Puck System and a RamBox
  • I have a solution for you but in order to tow a fifth wheel trailer using your 2020 Ram 2500 with 6-1/2 Foot Bed, OEM Prep Pkg, and RamBox you will need to use a rotating pin box like the Reese Sidewinder which will be specific to the trailer. There isn't enough clearance with the Rambox's so you will need to have the rotating point be higher up at the pin box. If your trailer uses a Lippert 1716 then the correct Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret is item # RP77FR....

  • Is There Play in Lower Hitch Opening of Blue Ox Adjustable High Low Adapter # BLU48CR
  • Hey Bob, so the Blue Ox adjustable ball mount part # BLU48CR has tight clearance where the lower hitch opening attaches to the shank but this specific adapter can only be used with flat towing setups and can't carry a bike rack.

  • Vehicle Fitment for TorkLift HiddenPower Under-Vehicle Battery Mount with Battery Box
  • Thanks for reaching out, Dave! I reached out to my contact at TorkLift and they weren't able to give me those specifics for the TorkLift HiddenPower Under-Vehicle Battery Mount with Battery Box # TLA7729, but they were able to confirm that this will fit a 2005 - 2014 Ford Van E-250 and E-350 so if that's what you have then you'll be good to go. If you have a different vehicle please let me know the year/make/model and I'll see if we have an alternative kit to fit your vehicle.

  • Will Anderson Ultimate Connection Give Enough Turning Clearance for 2013 Ram 2500 with Short Bed
  • There have been quite a few people who have had success with turns when using the Andersen Ultimate Connection # AM3200 and even though we generally say that you need 12" of travel (or offset) for a 90 degree turn, you may be okay with this system here on your 2013 Ram 2500 with the 6-1/2' bed, especially if your trailer has a tapered nose. I have attached a section from the linked instructions for the Anderson Ultimate Connection where it tells you how to measure for 5th wheel trailer...

  • Which Gen-Y Offset Gooseneck Ball Fits 2024 Ram 2500 Short Bed with OEM Pucks
  • Hey Glenn, for the 2024 Ram 2500 Gen-Y only makes the 5 inch offset hitch ball for the OEM pucks with the part # GY83XR. There isn't a 4 inch version available as well but even if there was the 5 inch offset would be better since you'd get just a little more turning clearance. The # 19308 doesn't work because it was designed to fit a different gooseneck hitch so it wouldn't fit.

  • Will The Curt Crosswing Fit a 2016 Ram 2500 Short Bed With Factory Puck System
  • Yes, the Curt CrossWing Lightweight Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # C32DR will work with the OEM puck system on your 2016 Ram 2500. Do understand since you do have the short bed you will likely not be able to make full jackknife turns with your 5th wheel even with the 9" of offset. But you may be able to make the full turns depending on the width of your 5th wheel. You can measure your hitch ball and add the 9" offset then compare this with the width of your 5th wheel from...

  • Is The Curt Pintle Hook # C45908 Compatible With An EZ Loader TI102BT 26-30ET Boat Trailer
  • Hi Robert, The Curt Pintle Hook # C45908 would require that your EZ Loader boat trailer has a lunette ring for the coupler. From what I can see the 26-30ET should have a surge brake coupler that would couple to a standard ball mount. You'll need to check the coupler for the ball size (likely 2" or 2-5/16") and measure for the drop/rise needed for the trailer to ride level. I've attached a guide below to help you measure for the drop/rise needed but if you can't measure the trailer you...

  • Can a 2020 Ram 2500 With B&W Turnover Gooseneck Haul a 5TH Wheel With Reese Goose Box?
  • Yes Kevin, you are going to be able to tow your Keystone Cougar 29RKS which has a Reese Goose Box # RP94716 behind your 2020 Ram 2500. Since you have the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1320 I do recommend also getting their Offset Ball # BWGNXA4085 to gain some additional clearance since you have a short bed truck. This will place the ball back 4" to gain you some additional turning clearance since you are unable to make full jack knife turns with having the short bed.

  • Would A Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch Or Rotating Pin Box Be Better For A 2021 Ram 2500 6-1/2' Bed
  • Hey Connor, A typical sliding 5th wheel hitch is going to give you 12-14" of travel for extra turning clearance while a rotating pin box like the Reese Sidewinder will move the pivot point of the trailer back 22". Rotating pin boxes give you the best chance of making a 90 degree turn without the nose of the trailer hitting the cab of the truck. With a rotating pin box you won't have to get out of the truck at each tight turn to move the hitch into the maneuvering position and then again...

  • Is There Curt Fifth Wheel Rail Kit that Fits 2022 Ram 2500
  • Hey Lyle, so there aren't any universal style fifth wheel rail kits that fit your 2022 Ram 2500 so your best option is the custom install Curt rail kit part # C16427-204. Not only will this be much easier to install but it's actually not more expensive than most universal rail kits so it's by far the way to go.

  • Recommended Sliding Curt 5th Wheel Hitch for the Ram Puck System
  • Thanks for the pictures! We do have a few Curt 5th Wheel Hitches with a manual slide. For your Grand Design Reflection, I recommend the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # C16521. The A16 has a 16,000 lbs capacity and the slider base will give you 12" of travel for making tight turns. All of Curt's sliders have to use an adapter like item # C29BR to attach to your 2019 Ram 2500's puck system. If you don't want to mess around with having two different parts the B&W Companion item #...

  • Will The EcoHitch Front Receiver Fit a 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon With Factory Winch?
  • Due to the winch's fairlead being built into the main winch mount on your 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon it appears the only front mounted receiver you can use is the Curt # C31015 since it will mount below the bumper. The EcoHitch # 306-X7900 would hit on the support for the rollers of the fairlead and since they are part of the main mount you would have to remove everything for it to fit. I have included an image of the Curt on a Power Wagon so you can see how it will look.

  • Will Replacement Head for B&W Patriot Fit RBW Xtender
  • The Patriot head # BWRVC3200 will only be compatible with a B&W Patriot base. RBW has been gone for a while now so the only option for a replacement head would be off of another used unit. I believe the Xtender used industry standard rails so you could use the B&W Patriot # BWRVK3270 to replace and upgrade that hitch if you can't find parts.

  • Will B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch Fit 2018 Ram 2500/3500 With Gooseneck
  • The B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3500-5W won't bolt onto your 2018 Ram 2500 or 3500 gooseneck's ball, it will only fit the B&W gooseneck/install kit for those trucks, and installs in the gooseneck hole. For a 2018 Ram 2500 the part number for the gooseneck is # BWGNRK1384-5W, and for a 2018 Ram 3500, the part number is # BWGNRK1314-5W. As for chucking, yes, the Companion will absolutely minimize chucking. It does so with its jaw system that has the least amount of slack...

  • Should 2024 Ram 2500 Have OEM Puck Kit Installed for Fifth Wheel Hitch
  • Hey John, if it were me I would go with the OEM Ram puck kit installed in the bed of your 2024 Ram 2500 as will give you the best fifth wheel hitch solutions as well will be an easier selling point for the truck when you one day want to sell the truck. For a manual slider hitch the Companion hitch part # BWRVK3670 would be a great option that fits directly to the OEM pucks or if you prefer an auto slider the part # DM69GV is a really nice option too this will automatically slide back...
