Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2016 Ram 2500 with RamBox
Question:
I have a 2016 Ram 2500 with the cargo boxes. I am purchasing a Rockwood 2622rk with a Turning Point Pin. What 5th wheel hitch would you recommend ?

Expert Reply:
The fifth wheel hitch I recommend for a 2016 Ram 2500 with RamBox is the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3255 which will require the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # BWRVK2602. This is a great made in USA option that performs really well and is backed by B&Ws lifetime warranty. The dual jaws are 3/4" think so they form a tight grip on the kingpin which provides a smooth ride and the cam action handle allows for uncoupling on uneven terrain. The only other thing you'll need is the Custom Wedge part # SWW-06.
Please note, a rotating pin box will be required for this setup but the Lippert Turning Point has this feature so you will be covered.
