2015 Ram 1500 5-1/2 foot Bed Gooseneck Hitch Recommendation
Question:
Just wondering if this is the right application for this product. Also curious about the difficulty level installing.

Expert Reply:
For your 2015 Ram 1500 with a 5-1/2 foot bed the B and W Gooseneck Hitch part # BWGNRK1309 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit and would work well for you.
If you have access to a decent amount of tools and have decent mechanical skills this should install pretty easily. But you should note that an overhead lifting device like a hoist is highly recommended in the instructions that I attached a link to.
Since your truck bed is so short you would also want to use the offset adapter part # BWGNXA4685 to give you as much clearance as possible for turning. This adapter will give you an additional 4 inches.
