Companion Sliding Base for 2014 Ram 2500 OEM Pucks Compatible with Old Companion Hitch Head

Question

Question:

I have a B and W companion fifth wheel hitch. I have purchased a 2014 ram 2500 with a factory towing prep package for a goose neck connection using a ball. Can I buy just the slider part for the B and W hitch that fits in the factory pucks and use this hitch on my truck. Thanks

Yes. The new base for your 2014 Ram 2500 is the Replacement Slider Base for B&W OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Ram Towing Prep Package - 20K # BWRVB3670 which will allow you to utilize the hitch head from your current Companion hitch.
