Yes, the B and W Companion base part # BWRVB3600 does fit the 2020 Ram 3500 OEM fifth wheel rail kits. This is the base for the hitch # BWRVK3600 which comes with the hitch head as well. Unlike the GM rail kits the Ram ones stayed the exact same between 2019 and 2020.

A wedge is needed, yes, and the Lippert Turning Point pin box does come with a universal wedge, but it is not a very good fit with the B&W Companion #BWRVK3710. So I highly recommend instead using the 5th Airborne Custom Wedge for B&W Fifth…
