How to Use B&W Companion on 2019 Ram 3500 Long Bed Dually
Question:
Up until last week I had a 2014 Longhorn with a puck system and bught a BandW Copanion slider for my fifth wheel. I traded that vehicle in and bought a 2019 3500 long bed duelly no knowing that the puck system was OEM factory. Now I have a BandW Hitch I cant utilize. What are my options now.

Expert Reply:
If the B&W Companion you used on your 2014 Longhorn was designed to fit the factory puck system then it would fit the puck system on a 2019 Ram 3500 as well, but since you don't have the OEM puck system you just need to install the Custom Underbed Installation Kit # BWGNRK1320 and then use the Companion Base # BWRVB3500 with the Companion Head Assembly # BWRVC3006 that you currently have.
This gives you the stationary Companion # BWRVK3500 which fits directly into the gooseneck receiver and then when removed gives you a complete unrestricted access to your truck bed.
I have attached some review videos of both product for you to check out.
