Best 5th Wheel Hitch for a Rotating Pin Box on a 2023 Ram 2500 w/ Puck System

Question:

I have a rotating pin box on my 5th wheel trailer. I need a standard hitch even though I have a short bed truck. I have a 2023 Ram 2500 with the 6-1/2 foot bed and the puck system.

The best 5th wheel hitch for your 2023 Ram 2500 that is compatible with all rotating pin boxes is going to be the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch item # BWRVK3600. This hitch will drop right down into your factory puck system for an easy install and removal for when you're not towing.

The reason this is the best 5th wheel hitch is that the Companion's 1" thick dual jaws will give you a 360-degree jaw to kingpin contact. This system minimizes the chucking, jarring, and noise that can occur when towing a 5th wheel trailer. This not only provides a more secure connection but also a quieter more comfortable towing experience.

The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # BWRVK3600 weighs right 226 lbs and is made in the USA.

I have linked an installation video below along with a couple of pictures so you can see what the Companion looks like installed.

Don't forget your lube plate. The Lube Plate for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10" Diameter item # 16721 will prevent scratches on your fifth-wheel's skid plate and ease trailer hookup.
