Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2013 Ram 2500 with B and W Gooseneck Hitch Installed
Question:
Q What is your recommended and economical solution to couple a 2013 RAM 2500, Crew cab,4X4, short box, with a pre installed BandW Gooseneck hide a ball hitch to a 2014 Keystone Springdale 249FWBHSSR with a Lippert 1621 King Pin Box. Thank you

Expert Reply:
Since you have a short bed truck you'll need a slider hitch to allow you the clearance to make sharp turns. The # CAB-C5G that you referenced would work for you aside from the turning clearance situation. Due to that you'll need the B and W Companion Slider hitch part # BWRVK3400 which will fit directly to the B and W Gooseneck hitch you have installed in your 2013 Ram 2500 and will work well.
