Best Fifth Wheel Hitch and Rail Kit Recommendation for a 2012 Dodge Ram Long Bed 2500/3500
Question:
Hi, I have a 2012 Dodge Ram Laramie Longhorn long bed. I just put money down on a 39 ft Fifth Wheel. What hitch would be a good and safe one to haul my Fifth Wheel? Thank you,

I really like the B and W Companion hitches like the part # BWRVK3500-5W. This hitch has a 20k capacity and is one of the most popular hitches on the road because of how well they work.
To install this hitch all you would need is the correct rail kit (that also doubles as a gooseneck hitch), part # BWGNRK1313-5W. Basically with this setup you will be getting the nicest fifth wheel hitch setup around that also doubles as a gooseneck hitch.
Check out the install and review video I attached as well.
