Expert Reply:
The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3600 that you referenced weighs 226 lbs. What's great about this hitch is that it easily breaks down so that you can split the weight up so you don't have to lift the full weight at a time.
For modern fifth wheel campers that have tapered noses slider hitches aren't needed as often. Especially with a short bed truck like yours that has a "longer" short bed at 6-1/2 feet.
