I currently use above bed bolt in rails with my 2004 Ram 2500 but its time for a new truck. I would like to use the Patriot hitch I have for it.

Expert Reply:
I have two 5th wheel base rail adapters for your 2018 Ram 2500 short bed with factory pucks. You can use either the Reese Rail Adapter # RP30154 or the Demco Rail Adapter # DM6099. Either of these adapters will work well with your B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch.
If your current hitch isn't a sliding hitch, because you are getting a short bed truck you may want to also consider the sliding base # BWRVB3270.
