Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2023 Ram 3500 w/ a 6-1/2 Foot Bed and Puck System
Question:
I am interested in getting a B&W Companion hitch for my 2023 Ram 3500 with the 6.5 foot long bed. I have the puck system but will need a sliding hitch. I can't find anything on your website that shows which one I need. Is there one available yet for my truck?

Expert Reply:
Yes, there is a B&W Companion hitch that will fit in the puck system of your 2023 Ram 3500. It is the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package item # BWRVK3670. This 5th wheel hitch has a 20,000 lbs capacity and will mount directly in the puck system for easy installation and removal. The slider base will provide you with 12" of travel to help with making tight turns.
I have linked an installation and review video below so you can see how to get the Companion set up.
Don't forget your lube plate. The Lube Plate for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches item # 16721 will prevent scratches on your 5th wheel's skid plate and ease trailer hookup.
