Towing Capacity and Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Ram 3500 with Rail Kit
Question:
Do you know what the towing capacity is for my 2018 Ram 3500 long bed with a Cummins diesel? And what fifth wheel hitch would you recommend? I have the factory rail kit.

Expert Reply:
The towing capacity of the 2018 Ram 3500 with the Cummins diesel is most impressive as it's rated at towing up to 30,000 lbs. The highest rated fifth wheel hitch that I would recommend for you is the B and W Companion that fits the factory rail kit you have which is part # BWRVK3600. This hitch has a 25,000 lb towing capacity and is considered by most to be the nicest hitch on the market due to how well made it is and how quiet it is on the road. I attached an install video for the hitch plus an install picture for you to check out as well.
