The Ford Super Duty Prep Package is different from the Ram Prep Package so in order to reuse your B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch part # BWRVK3600 you will need to swap out the base with the Replacement Base for B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram part # BWRVB3300.

I reached out to B&W and there are no components of the 2008 Dodge 2500 Hitch #BWGNRK1313 that are compatible with the 2008 Ford F-350. It isn't even something you can switch brakets out on. You will need to get the B&W Turnoverball…

Choosing the right height setting for your 5th wheel hitch is a combination of a few different variables. First of all you want your towing setup to be as level as possible. With your Montana High Country 340BH level you will want to measure from the…

Answer 9

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Answer 10

The Ram OEM 5th wheel puck system, shown in the linked photo and article, was launched in 2013 so what you have in your truck is likely to be an aftermarket installation of some kind. These newer Ram trucks with the factory prep can directly accept a…

Answer 11

You do not have to use a sliding 5th wheel hitch in a short bed truck. In many cases, truck beds shorter than 8 ft do not have enough clearance between the trailer and truck to execute sharp turns. This is why sliding hitches were invented. Due to…

Answer 12

Beds shorter than 8 foot do commonly need a slider hitch David, but a lot of modern fifth wheel trailers are now made with tapered noses to help and in a lot of cases a slider isn't required. So if the trailer you plan to tow has a tapered nose…
