Fifth Wheel Hitch Options for 2013 Ram 3500 W/ OEM Factory Heavy Duty Trailering Package
Question:
What do I need to install this on a 2013 dodge ram 3500 long bed. I already have the factory kit.

We have a few different hitches available that would use the puck system installed in your truck bed. Curt offers the # C16520-16021 in a 16K capacity, # C16530-16021 in a 20K capacity or # C16545-16021 in a 24K capacity. Curt makes a nice hitch, which features a 360 degree articulating cushioned head.
B&W offers the Companion Fifth Wheel Hitch, part # BWRVK3600 with a whopping 25K capacity, and Reese offers the # RP30918 hitch with a 20K capacity. This hitch features a single, wrap around jaw, which holds the king pin very tightly for minimal chucking or bouncing.
All these hitches would drop right into the puck system, and can be installed or removed very quickly. I've linked you to some product demonstration videos that you might find helpful.
