Gooseneck Hitch Recommendation for a 2015 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel 5-1/2 foot Bed

Question

Question:

I was wondering if part # BWGNRK1309 for the BandW Gooseneck hitch is the correct hitch to fit a 2015 Ram 1500 Eco Diesel. The truck is also a 5 1/2foot short bed. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!

The B and W Turnover Ball hitch part # BWGNRK1309 is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Ram 1500 with an EcoDiesel engine.

Since your truck has a such a short bed you are going to want to use the offset adapter part # BWGNXA4685 as well. Hopefully the nose of your trailer is very narrow as well since you won't have a whole lot of room for clearance.

Answer 8

If there is a tiny bit of play in suspension components that are designed to move you would be fine. 1/16 of an inch isn't very much, and as long as you torqued everything down to spec you would be good to go. Ideally we just don't want it…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
