Towing a 2018 Keystone Fuzion 424 Toy Hauler with a 2015 Ram 3500 Short Bed
Question:
We are looking to buy a 2018 Keystone Fuzion 424 toy hauler. I will be towing it with my 2015 RAM 3500 mega cab with puck. Im looking at a Reese Sidewinder pin box and the BandW companion hitch. Is this what you would recommend? And if so which pin box?

Using a Reese Sidewinder with a B and W Companion hitch is the perfect setup for towing your 2018 Keystone Fuzion 424 Toy Hauler with your 2015 Ram 3500.
Though you have a short bed (6-1/2 foot), I recommend the Companion without the sliding feature, part # BWRVK3600. The reason you can use this one is because the Sidewinder has enough clearance to make up for the hitch not sliding. I've included a link to a video installation of this hitch.
If, however, you decide to go with a pin box that isn't a Sidewinder, then be sure to get the B and W Companion with the sliding feature, part # BWRVK3670.
As for which Sidewinder to use, that will depend on the pin box model that comes with your Fuzion 424. You can usually find that on the original pin box. If you have that information, I can direct you to which Sidewinder would be the correct replacement. For example, the Reese Sidewinder # RP77FR is designed to replace Lippert 1716, 1116, and 0115. I've linked to our selection of Sidewinders for you.
