How to Use a B&W Companion Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch with 2016 Ram 3500 Factory Rail Kit
Question:
Can I use my BandW RVK3500 on a 2016 RAM with factory installed 5th wheel gooseneck towing prep package? Is there an adapter available?

Helpful Expert Reply:
To use the B&W Companion Fifth Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3500 with your 2016 Ram 3500 that has the factory rail kit you will need to use the replacement base, part # BWRVB3600.
If your truck is a 6 foot bed you should consider getting a sliding hitch. I spoke with B&W and the sliding base is not yet availalbe but is expected in the first quarter 2017.
