B and W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch Installation - 2020 Ram 3500- Video
Hi everyone, Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the B&W Companion 5th wheel hitch with slider base and seeing how it fits on our 2020 RAM 3500. Now, a couple things to note with this that we are using this with a 6 1/2 foot bed. With those shorter bed lengths, I always recommend a slider base. If you've got an eight foot bed, then you probably don't need the slider and you can check out just the regular Companion 5th wheel. And in addition to that, we are using this in conjunction with the factory prep package. more

Curt A20 Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch with Slider Installation - 2022 Ram 2500- Video
Hi everyone, Aidan here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the CURT A20 5th wheel hitch with the R20 slider base on our 2022 RAM 2500 with the factory puck system. So if your RAM has the factory prep package for towing, then this is the kit for you. It's gonna utilize the A20 5th wheel hitch, the R20 slider base, and that adapter piece down at the bottom to attach that whole slider hitch system to those factory pucks. So if you don't have that factory prep package this isn't the kit for you. You can get that with just the slider base in the 5th wheel hitch and forget about that adapter piece. more

B and W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Slider Review - 2020 Ram 2500- Video
Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer and today, we're taking a look at the B and W companion fifth wheel with slider, for OEM Prep package on a 2020 RAM 2,500. Now, as time has progressed, trucks have now started coming with an OEM prep package. And what that means, you might have heard of it as the puck system. That means you have drop-in spots where arms can attach for a fifth wheel and that makes it nice and easy. You don't have to install anything, because from the factory it's ready to be able to drop a fifth wheel in place. Now for something like this with a six foot bed, you are gonna wanna look at something with a sliding base and that's where the companion, I think is one of the best that you can get on the market. more

Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with S25 Slider Review - 2020 Ram 2500- Video
Hello, neighbors. It's Brad here at etrailer, and today, we're taking a look at the Curt A25 fifth wheel hitch on an S25 slider with the OEM prep package. So, we have a standard rail system that works with that on a 2020 Ram 2500. Now, this system is gonna be a great configuration for those of you with a six foot bed and the OEM puck package on your Ram, and reason being is that's gonna allow you to slide as you need to make sharper turns and it's gonna just to head back, and that way you can avoid hitting your cab corners when you have to make those sharp turns. Now, this system, having the OEM puck systems, means that the rail, means that it's gonna bolt up to it and you're gonna get everything be able to drop in an ISR standard configuration, meaning that you can really drop pretty much any fifth wheel in and they do have ones that are already set up for the OEM prep package that drop in. The downside with that is unless you're planning on keeping your truck forever, that fifth wheel is gonna have to stay with that whereas with this system, you can swap out to a different fifth wheel or if you get a different truck, you can take this, get different rails, if it's a Ford or a Chevy, and be able to adapt it and still be able to use your fifth wheel. more

The quality is awesome and they really do have a nice product and this is no different and it's got a lot of nice features. In fact, one of the great things about this is you can take this head up and pull it off, which seems like a small thing, but really it takes a lot of weight off. If you ever plan on taking this outta your bed, to take the whole thing out, can get pretty heavy. So being able to remove a pretty heavy section of it allows you to get this out and you can still use your truck bed. more

And a common issue when you're towing a fifth wheel, is that we have a lot of clearance issues if you don't have a full eight foot bed.

So if we come to the handle here, pull it out and we're going to turn it towards the cab of the truck and that's going to allow our hitch to slide 12 inches towards the back, giving us that much more clearance. And it will lock back into place in the maneuvering position, so we can go around that turn slowly.On the passenger side, it is going to have an indicator. more
