How to Use Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Hitch and Signature Gooseneck in 2015 Ram 2500 Long Bed
Question:
I have a Reese 18k 5th wheel elite hitch and a Reese signature gooseneck hitch 4 puck style I used in my old truck which was a 06 f350. I have a 2015 dodge 2500 now and was wondering if Reese made a under bed 4 puck system for the dodge so I can use the hitches I already have. Thanks for your help

There is no adapter or part to allow use of the Reese Elite Series 5th wheel and Signature Gooseneck hitches from your 2006 Ford in your new 2015 Ram 2500 long bed. There is an adapter that works in the other direction, Reese part # RP30156, that adapts your Reese Elite Series underbed base rails to work with any standard fifth-wheel trailer hitch; but there is no item for your Ram 2500 to let you use the hitches that were installed in your Ford.
If you need both 5th wheel and gooseneck towing capabilities then my best recommendation is to go with the B&W system. B&W makes a 5th wheel hitch that can install in their gooseneck underbed rail kit. This system, consisting of parts # BWRVK3500-5W and # BWGNRK1384-5W, gives you both types of hitch in one kit. Please refer to the linked installation videos for additional information.
