Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2017 Ram 3500 for Towing Trailer with Sidewinder
Question:
I am looking at purchasing a new 5th wheel that has the Reese Revolution pin box on it, can this be used with my PullRite auto slider hitch that i already have installed in my truck?

Expert Reply:
A Pullrite hitch cannot be used with a Sidewinder. You need a stationary fifth wheel hitch that doesn't automatically slide around corners.
What rail kit is in the truck? Is it one of their ISR setups that has rails that are 22 inches apart front and center or one of their Pullrite specific kits.
If it's an ISR setup with standard fifth wheel rails the B and W Patriot part # BWRVK3255 would be a great choice with the Reese Revolution pin box. You would also want the wedge part # SWW-06 which is a custom wedge for Sidewinders and B and W hitches.
