asked by: John C
Expert Reply:
For a 2023 Ram 2500 the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2602 you were looking at would be a compatible fit. If you go with base rails you'll need to use the B&W Patriot # BWRVK3255 or slider # BWRVK3270 for a short bed.
If you are wanting the Companion # BWRVK3500-5W (slider # BWRVK3400-5W) then you'll need to install the Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWGNRK1320-5W instead of the base rails.
For the wiring you'll want the Pollak 5th Wheel / Gooseneck T-Connector with 7-Pole # PK11893-11932. This wire harness will plug right in to your factory 7-way and run up to the bed for an easy 7-way connection point for your 5th wheel.
