Will Gooseneck Hitches Fit a 2016 Ram 2500 with Ram Boxes
Question:
Will a gooseneck hitch work on a 2016 ram 2500 short bed with ram boxes?
asked by: Steve R
Expert Reply:
If your 2016 Ram 2500 with the Ram Box has coil springs, I recommend the B&W # BWGNRK1384 gooseneck hitch for your 6 foot bed with Ram Boxes on the side.
This gooseneck hitch will have a 7,500 TW and a 30,000lb GTW. There will be no drilling to install the frame brackets of this installation kit.
If you don't have coil spring then I recommend the Curt # C60614 gooseneck hitch, because it has the same towing capacities as the B&W gooseneck hitch.
I have linked the above mentioned products to this page as well as installation videos of these goosenecks being installed on a 2014 Ram.
The Ram Boxes are only really an issue for fifth wheel towing as the make the truck bed rails too narrow for a pin box to pivot around without hitting them. For gooseneck you would be just fine.

I see you are referencing to use the B&W turnover ball with a Ram 2500 that has the Rambox feature. I called B&W today and they said not to as the ball locking lever is not accessible under the truck. Can you confirm that works? I was also curious if the Curt 60614 would work on a Ram 2500 with Coil Springs since it locks at the ball? Assuming the B&W turnover does work in my truck, will the Curt X5 16310 work as well. It is made for the B&W, but your website references it does not work in my truck. I have a 2018 Ram 2500 with Rambox. I'm curious why it won't work.
