There is some truth in what you've read, but it depends on which Companion setup you read about. The only B&W Companion Fifth Wheel Hitch that can be used with the Reese Revolution/Sidewinder is the # BWRVK3600 that fits into the 4 recessed pucks in the truck bed provided by the factory installed tow/prep package.
The Companion model that mounts using a single connection point provided by the B&W Turnover Ball Gooseneck Hitch CANNOT be used with a Revolution/Sidewinder because the amount of torque applied could cause that single attachment point to fail-that's the distinction.
To see an install video showing the hitch being installed in a 2015 Ram 3500, click the link I've provided.
