Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2018 Ram 2500 Short Bed Towing Grand Design with Revolution Pin Box
Question:
Hey all. So we just got a new Grand Design trailer and it came with a Revolution rotating pin box. I have a 2018 Ram 2500 short bed with the pucks. What hitch do you recommend?

For your 2018 Ram 2500 with the factory puck system I highly recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3600.
The Companion series hitches are considered by many to be the best on the market and this particular model is designed to drop right into the factory pucks on your Ram 2500. It features 1 inch thick dual jaws that will provide both an incredibly secure connection to the trailer and a really smooth ride when towing. Its fully articulating head will also allow for a much easier hookup so you don't have to spend extra time at the campsite when it's time to head home. It has a towing capacity of 25,000 pounds.
Since your Grand Design is equipped with a Revolution king pin that extends the pivot point away from the king pin, a fixed hitch like this one will work perfectly. Normally on short bed trucks like yours a sliding hitch is needed to gain cab clearance during tight turns but the Revolution takes care of this issue by itself.
I have attached a short video demonstration that you can also check out.
