Recommended Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2016 Ram 3500 With Factory Puck System
Question:
We have a 2016 dodge ram 3500 with the fifth wheel hitch prep already in the truck puck system. We have a reese slider fifth wheel hitch. We are looking at the adaptor or the BandW Companion slider fifth wheel hitch. Which would you suggest. Thanks for any info you can provide.

I strongly recommend going with the B&W Companion # BWRVK3670 for your 2016 Ram 3500. The Companion is considered by many to be the highest-quality fifth wheel hitch available. With nearly 400 reviews from customers who have purchased it, the Companion has gotten a nearly unanimous 5-star rating.
It features dual jaws which are a full 1" thick to provide complete contact with your king pin so you can have faith that your connection is completely secure. The Companion is also going to give you a much quieter ride with less rattling than other fifth wheels due to that secure connection, along with the polyurethane bushings it has. It has a pivoting head to make hooking up easier, a cam-action latch to deter binding, and offers three different height settings to ensure you are level with your fifth wheel. The B&W will fit directly into the puck system in the bed of your 2016 Ram 3500, has a built-in slider to accommodate the 6-1/2 foot bed on your Ram, and has a towing capacity of 20,000 lbs.
I've added a pair of links to video reviews on the Companion for you to take a look at.
