Will the Fixed Version of the B&W Companion Fit Factory Pucks in 2014 Ram 2500 Short Bed
Question:
I previously purchased a Curt 5th wheel slider hitch and had to buy the RAM frame that locks into the RAM puck system. I have never used the slider so I dont know if it is actually necessary or not. The frame makes my trailer ride cocked to the rear. I would like to know if the BWRVK3600 will work with my RAM 2500. I think the truck bed is around 6 ft 7.

There are actually 2 B&W Companion hitches that are a direct fit for the factory puck system in your 2014 Ram 2500. The slider is # BWRVK3670 and the fixed version is # BWRVK3600. If you never had to slide your existing hitch back in order to make 90 degree turns and you never plan on getting a different trailer that could be wider then you can go with the fixed version.
Otherwise, if you never know what you might tow then I would definitely go with the slider version. I have linked video reviews of both versions for you.
