Curt or B&W Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2016 Ram 2500
Question:
I have 2016 ram 2500 6.4 ft bed. Out of these two which would be a better hitch. I am new to pulling fifth wheel and the truck is my daily driver also.other than the rail kit is there anything else I would need?my power hook up has enough length to go down over the tailgate so I do not plan relocating it. Is there anything I am missing?

Helpful Expert Reply:
I would highly recommend the B and W Patriot Hitch part # BWRVK3270 that you referenced with the rail kit part # BWRVK2602 that you also referenced over the Curt. There's nothing really wrong with the Curt but the B and W hitch heads are among the nicest hitches around and I know you will be very happy with it.
