asked by: Charlie
Helpful Expert Reply:
Unless your 5th wheel has the front corners that are dished in or concave so the corners don't collide with the rear of the truck cab during turns, you'll need to use a sliding hitch in order to provide the proper clearance.
The sliding OEM puck compatible Companion is part # BWRVK3775. If the 5th wheel has the dished in front corners described above, then the stationary version part # BWRVK3715 would work great for you.
If you'd like an in-bed 7-way trailer connector, you can install one using the Hopkins # HM54FR.
