Can Reese Elite 5th Wheel Hitch Mount to 2018 Ram 3500 with Factory Puck System
Question:
I have a Reece 25k elite puck style hitch that fits the ford style system. I just purchased a 2018 ram 3500 with factory puck system. Is there a adapter so that I could continue to use my Reese hitch. Thanks

We do have a great selection of 5th wheel hitches available that are designed to drop right into the factory pucks on your new Ram 3500, but unfortunately there is not a way to adapt your existing Reese Elite Hitch so that it will work on your truck.
For your Ram I highly recommend the Reese OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # RP30918, which features a forged single-piece jaw that provides an excellent connection with the trailer and allows for a really smooth, quiet ride. Its unique 9 inch wide funnel (compared to 6 inches on most other models) also eases the hookup process since you don't have to be exactly in line. It has a 20,000 pound towing weight capacity.
I have attached a short video demonstration that you can check out as well.
