Both the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 24,000 lbs # C16049 and B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs
# BWRVK3600 are very good fifth wheel hitches that will fit your 2021 Ram 3500 with 8' bed and OEM Prep Package.
The B&W Companion has a fully articulating head that that pivots front-to-back and side-to-side that eases hook-up and limits chucking. The Curt Q25 has 360° articulation, meaning the... view full answer...
The difference between the Pro Sereis # PS30133 and the # PS30121 is that the PS30133 includes the rail kit. They are going to be the exact same hitch but the difference in price is that a basic mounting rail kit is included. If you wanted a custom installation kit for your 2014 Ram 3500 that will install with minimal drilling you'll want to use the Reese # RP50085-58, which will also put industry standard rails in your truck bed that allow you to mount a 5th wheel hitch. view full answer...
The difference between the two part numbers you mentioned of # TC3229SCAM and # TC3229CAM is the link style. The part # TC3229SCAM uses square links which are bigger and better for deeper snow and the # TC3229CAM has round links which will give you a smoother ride. view full answer...
I definitely have to go with Firestone.
For one the Firestone kits that are compatible with your 2016 Ram 3500 use 4-ply rubber and the AirLift kits use 2-ply. This won't impact their capacity but will make a difference in how well they'll hold up to wear and tear. Also, the rubber is connected to the metal end plates by using a rolled crimp seal to prevent leaks. AirLift does not use this same method and simply crimps the rubber into the end plate.

The BAKFlip MX4 # BAK48204 is of a slightly higher quality than the G2 # BAK26204 for your 2023 Ram 3500 long bed. The MX4 has a 5 year warranty versus the 3 year for the G2. The MX4 has matte finish panels that does a better job of hiding imperfections and scratches than the gloss finish used on the G2. view full answer...
I would be happy to help you find a front mount receiver hitch for your 2018 Ram 3500. I recommend the Curt Front Mount Hitch item # C31067. It has a 9,000 lbs line pull capacity and a 500 lbs vertical load limit.
I have attached pictures of both so you can see what the final product looks like. Whichever one you pick needs to be determined by your needs though. If you are going to be using a snow plow you will want the Curt item # C31067 because of the higher mounting point. view full answer...
The difference between the TorkLift SuperHitch Original D1104 that has been discontinued and the part # TLD1108 that replaces it is a slight design change that allows the D1108 to fit the newer 2018 Ram 3500. Either one will still fit your 2015 Ram 3500 though. I have confirmed this with my contact at TorkLift.
Both Original SuperHitch designs are made to work in conjunction with an OEM hitch that has been installed on the pickup. There is a small cutout in the trailer hitch that accommodates... view full answer...
The Demco Hijacker Autoslide is very similar to the PullRite Superglide hitch. They both use the pivoting head to determine the turning clearances needed. The Demco Hijacker Autoslide has the encased mechanism underneath where the Superglide is more exposed. They both use capture plates to hold to the pin box so the head will pivot and give you the proper amount of slide. Both will use adapters of different styles to fit the factory pucks in your Ram.

That's a really good question, they do look very similar. I recommend the A25 # C16046 for your 2019 Ram 3500 with an 8ft bed and factory puck system. The A25 has a 2 piece jaw that overlaps slightly, where the Q25 butts up against the other. This provides a more solid connection to the king pin resulting in a secure quiet ride.
The head is also slightly different on the A25 than the Q25. Curt strengthened the A25 heads so that they can be used with rotating pin boxes, unlike the Q25.... view full answer...
There are several differences between the Curt A25 part # C16046 and Curt Q25 part # C16545-16021 for a 2021 Ram 3500. The most notable is the jaw design. The A-Series has a dual interlocking jaw system which forms a much tighter grip on the kin pin therefore provides a smoother ride. The Q-Series has dual locking jaws but they don't interlock. The A-Series also has a one pin head removal system which helps when frequently installing or removing the hitch. The dampening mechanism built-into... view full answer...
The benefit of using 2 batteries rated for 6V along with 1 battery rated for 12V is that you are using less space (and less weight per battery when moving them) to get the same amount of power and amp hours that you would get if you were to use 3 batteries rated for 12V.
The typical amp/hour rating for a 6V battery is 200. When you connect these in series so that they are compatible with the 12V battery (and your trailer electrical needs) that means you have 2 batteries connected for... view full answer...
The Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter part # RP85FR is just simply the updated version of the Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter part RP94623. The new updated version features an improved airbag design that does not require there to be any pressure in the system to operate, a new schrader valve design to prevent leaks, and a sleeker look overall. The locking cable also has a bit more tension than the previous version which are all... view full answer...
They are the exact same hitch. We use different part numbers to put them in two different fitguides. The 5W at the end of part # BWGNRK1314-5W stands for fifth wheel. Since this gooseneck hitch can be used as a gooseneck hitch or as a base for a Companion hitch like the part # BWRVK3500 it can show up in either fitguide. view full answer...
The differences between the Curt Q, A and E series hitches come down to the quality of the jaw system and damping offered by the hitch head.
• The Q24 that you'd looked at, part # C16545-16021 features a standard 2 piece jaw that does a good job
of holding the king pin tightly for minimal movement of the king pin in the hitch jaws. The spherical axial
bearing provides some cushioning and allows the hitch head to tilt in a 360º diameter. This hitch isn't
compatible with rotating... view full answer...
The Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs # C16180 is the newer model of the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs # C16265. The A25 has an interlocking dual jaw for increased security. The A25 also has built in grease zerk fittings to make maintenance just a little easier. It also has a 1 pin head removal compared to the 2 pin option of the Q25.
They are both nice 5th wheel hitches, but the A25 has those couple of really nice features as an upgrade.... view full answer...
Both front-mount hitches we have for your 2017 Ram 3500 Mega Cab, Draw-Tite # 65063 and Curt # C31067, share the same 500-lb vertical load rating (the same as a tongue weight rating) which is downward force on the hitch, so the choice really just depends on whether or not your truck has the factory tow hooks. If so, go for the Draw-Tite # 65063 which is shown in the linked video. If not go for the Curt # C31067.
The hitch's capacity must be enough for the combined weight of the motorcycle... view full answer...
I believe the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs # BWRVK3600 is a superior hitch to the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs # C16049. The Curt hitch comes apart in different places and is held together with bolts and nuts. The Companion hitch is a sturdy welded base without any bolts and nuts.
Both hitches allow you to remove the head from the base for easy loading and unloading. Il... view full answer...
When comparing the Firestone Air Command II Compressor System w F3 Wireless Remote, Heavy Duty Compressor, Tank, Hose - Dual Path # F2591 to the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Remote - Bluetooth - Single Path # AL25980 there are some significant differences.
Both are wireless systems that help you adjust your air pressure but that is where the similarities end. Your needs will either justify the cost difference in one direction or the other but you need... view full answer...
TorkLift SuperHitch Magnum Trailer Hitch # TLD1108-30 weighs approximately 130-lbs. Shipping weight with all packaging materials is 135-lbs. SuperHitch Original Trailer Hitch # TLD1108 weighs approximately 122-lbs, and with packing materials its shipping weight is 127-lbs.
The weight difference is mostly due to the different sizes of main cross tube. The Original has a 3-1/2 x 3-1/2-inch cross tube while the Magnum has a 4 x 4-inch cross tube.
Both include all necessary mounting hardware... view full answer...
The Curt A16 # C16120 and Reese # RP30047 are both quality fifth wheel hitches that have a 16,000 lb capacity and dual jaw system but there are a couple of noticeable differences.
The Curt A16 has a fully articulating head while the Reese has a head which only pivots 4 ways. The A16 also has a handy indicator system which will let you know if the jaws on the hitch are ready to couple, uncouple or tow, which is a convenience feature the Reese hitch does not offer.
