Recommended Rotating Pin Box Compatible 5th Wheel Hitch For 2020 Ram 2500 6-1/2 Bed W/O Prep Pkg
Question:
Can the B and W Gooseneck BWRVK3500 adapter work with the reese sidewinder 5th wheel hitch?
asked by: Eddie
Expert Reply:
I have another option but the B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BWRVK3500 will not work with a rotating pin box like your Reese Sidewinder.
Since there are no other under-bed fifth wheel hitch options for your 2020 Ram 2500 with a 6-1/2' Bed you will need to use above bed rails. I recommend the Curt Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16115 and Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram Truck # C16427-204. The Curt hitch can be used with a rotating pin box by using wedge # C16991.
