If you use our fit guide the 2022 Ram 3500 with 8 Foot Bed and OEM Prep Package will display options for fixed hitches. It is not that a slide type hitch can't be used with an 8 foot bed but it is not necessary to have a 5th wheel hitch with the slide feature, therefore the fit guide does not display those options. However, with the OEM Prep Package the same option for a short bed will fit the longer 8 foot bed, it drops in and secures exactly the same. For either configuration, short/long bed, I suggest the B&W 5th wheel hitch options.

Since your Ram truck is equipped with the OEM Prep Package/Puck system, for a slide hitch option, I recommend the B&W Companion, # BWRVK3670. This is specially designed to attach to the receivers in your factory 5th-wheel towing prep package. For the fixed position hitch option I suggest the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package, # BWRVK3600.

What I like abut the B&W products are the 1" thick precision machined jaws that provide a 360-degree jaw-to-king-pin contact with tight tolerances. This translates to less rattle and greater security than many other options. They design their heads to be fully articulating and this makes it easier to hookup the RV and helps to minimize the chucking. In addition, to the great design and build quality of these hitches they are all made in USA of raw materials that are also sourced right here as well.
