The Difference Between the B and W Gooseneck Hitches for the 2012 Ram 3500
Question:
What is the difference between the BWGNRK1308-5W and BWGNRK1313-5W? Looking at the specs, they appear to have the same capability. And even though the size of the main support is different, it looks like it mounts the same as well. Thank you

The main difference between the B and W gooseneck hitch part # BWGNRK1313-5W and the part # BWGNRK1308-5W is the installation kits are designed for different engine configurations.
The # BWGNRK1313 is designed for diesel engine models, whereas the # BWGNRK1308 is designed for gasoline engines.
There are also some other bed length and cab design application differences between the two that if you wanted to email me back with your bed length, engine configuration, whether you have the Rambox or not, and if you have the Mega cab option I can be sure to get you the correct application.
