2021 Ram 3500 Long Bed Tonneau Cover Recommendation to Fit with B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch
Question:
I have a 2021 RAM 3500 DRW long bed and moving up to a 5th wheel. Will most likely get a BW companion hitch to fit my puck system and to tow the 5th. However, would like to cover the bed as I would like to put other stuff in it and also to hide the hitch when not in use. Will I have any clearance issues adding a folding hard tonneau cover? Issues like top of the hitch to the cover OR clearance issues from the 5th while the cover is folded? Any recommendations on the brand?

Expert Reply:
The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3600 is an excellent option for towing with your 2021 Ram 3500 long bed and puck system. It's easy to use yet very reliable and arguably the most solid 5th wheel hitch we have to offer.
For a tonneau cover I recommend checking out the BAK Revolver X4s # BAK74ZR which combines the sleek look of a soft cover with the durability and security of a hard cover. Once rolled up this is only going to have about a 12" diameter so you'll have full bed access when towing your 5th wheel but you'll also be able to see out your back window to keep an eye on things during travel. With a folding cover you may lose some turning clearance with the tonneau cover folded to the last panel and it you flip it up for full bed access you cover pretty much your entire back window.
