Fifth Wheel Hitch and Rail Kit Recommendation for a 2015 Ram 1500 with Ecodiesel Engine
Question:
Hello, I am in the early stages of purchasing a 2015 Ram 1500 ecodiesel quad, 6.5 box. Is there no 5th wheel for this truck? I saw that I could get a Blue Ox Goose neck setup?

I do have a solution for you to tow a fifth wheel trailer with your 2015 Ram 1500 that has an Ecodiesel engine. I checked with B and W and the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1309 has been confirmed to fit your vehicle. The great thing about this gooseneck hitch is that it can also have a fifth wheel hitch in it.
For that you would want the part # BWRVK3400-5W. This is a slider hitch that will allow you to make tight turns and would work great for you.
