Comparing the B&W Companion and Demco Hijacker for a 2020 Ram 2500 with Pucks
Question:
Just purchase a new 2020 RAM 2500 with puck system. I like the BandW hitch but do not see they have one with puck system and a slide. My bed is 6.5foot so assume I need a slide hitch? I was confused on your site as to above bed and below bed mount meaning? I will be towing a Keystone Montana 3791RD which is 16945 Gross Vehicle Weight. Concerned with how heavy the hitch will get if I buy the auto slide system you offer. Thoughts?

The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch is offered for a 2020 Ram 2500 with short bed and pucks, part # BWRVK3670 is what you need. This is the best fifth wheel hitch option on the market due to its durability and performance.
The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # DM8550034 with the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter part # DM6099 is a good option as well because of the auto-slide feature but it requires an adapter and it's a bit heaver so the B&W Companion is still my go to.
