Most Popular Double Pivot for 2017 Ram 2500

Does not operate very smoothly. You really need to slam it in when sliding back or forward to get latch to lock. Called Factory and was told to flip over and lube rollers. Not much better. Had to do over again would look at other products. Not impressed!

Great hitch. Very high quality and heavy duty. I pull a 35 ft Jayco fifth wheel and have had no problems with it so far. I would purchase a B&W product again no question.

I have owned this unit for over a year now. Here are the pro's and cons that I have experienced. Pro- I have pulled with this hitch in some really tight spaces in forward and reverse and still have the rear window in tact. Con- Heavy, really heavy. Pro- heavy duty,smooth riding, and double jaw lock makes a great connection. Con- manufacturer recommends 1/8 of separation between the slides on the top of hitch. When backing upon 40' wheeler in some tight spaces it is hard to align without opening the slides a bit more. This is not he issue. Remembering to tighten them in the rush of leaving is the hard part. Pro- once you are attached to your truck there is nothing more you need to worry about until you disconnect. Con- If you are a weekender like me and use your truck for work the rest of the week, you will need at least one person to help lift in or out pre or post travel. Works pretty well with gantry crane.

I installed this hitch myself with the help of a friend. Works perfectly.

Excellent hitch. Online order, handled properly, fast shipping and excellent service. Comes in two boxes with complete instructions which are easy to follow and easy to complete. Hitch eliminated all noise while towing and my only wish was that it could be one more set of bolt holes lower as my 2017 Dodge 1ton 4 wheel drive sits up so high that I still have a nose high attitude with 35' Voltage toy hauler, but better than it was. Still have enough room between trailer and truck bed that it could drop another couple of inches. Already raised pin box on trailer as high as it would go. Other than that highly recommend this manufacturer and their hitch!

I am a first time 5th wheel owner who had limited experience towing this way. I have only used my hitch once but so far I am extremely impressed. This hitch is very quiet and the trailer tracked behind my truck like nothing I have ever pulled. I'm getting ready to drive across the country and if this hitch continues to perform like this it will definitely minimize driving stress.

Was as described very heavy, I would have given 5 stars but after installing I tried to take up. Not gonna happen unless I have some kind of hoist.

Too heavy for one person to install unless you did what I had to do (alone without any help). Removed the bolt from the tailgate end of the roller tubes, pulled the tubes out and separated the upper assemble from the lower bed contact assembly. Doing that allowed me to lift each piece into the bed without tracking down a neighbor.

The hitch has worked very well and the swivel head makes for a smooth ride. My only complaint is that the stickers that indicate locked positions. Faded after a month and are now white.....but not a big deal.

well built hitch. Was packaged well looked like it was rolled to my house instead of trucked ,but had no damage or even scratches on it. Was easy to install in pieces. It is heavy, cant get the head to come off the base. The pin comes out easy, but the rubber bushing is real tight in it. It may loosen up with some use. Overall a nice hitch, hooks and unhooks nice an easy.

The products are good. however due to your web page shutting down in the middle of the ordering process, when it came back up the cart showed empty so I ordered the hitch. When it stated there were two items in the cart, I assumed that the installation kit was also ordered. Unfortunately, it wasn't until I received the notice of shipping that I realized the order had been placed for two hitches. I contacted your customer service and explained what happened and was told that since the order had already shipped, there was nothing that he could do. (He did state that if I refused delivery of one of the hitches I would be charged shipping both ways for the one hitch($590), I said that this did not seem fair.

Easy to install and easy to connect to trailer hitch. Ride is smooth when hooked up and the extender is easy to manipulate when connected. A well built piece of machinery I would buy again.

Had a set back on the shipment, but the service and responded was some of the best I've ran across. The equipment came before the give delivery date. Everything was in great condition, good communication.

I think that etrailer requires their employees to lie so as not to have any confrontations with customers on the phone. I placed two orders on 8/23 and immediately received followup emails that order received, order processed by (employee name) and then is in stock with associated time each step completed. Then I noticed that shipping date kept getting 1 day later each day I checked order status. So, I contacted etrailer on day 5, 8/27 and find out my item was not in stock at all and would not be until mid Oct. Well,I then had them order me the same part by a different manufacturer and was told that it was in stock and would still be still be shipped 8/28 and delivered on 8/30, the same day my fifth wheel hitch is being delivered, so everything seemed rectified until I checked order status online the evening of 8/28 and find that the ship date again had been pushed back another day 8/29 with a delivery date of 9/1, (which is a Sunday). Seems that at this rate I may have it sometime in September. Going by their assurance of delivery on 8/30, I arranged to pickup my new camper on 9/5, that seems to be an impossibility at this time because Order #121389499 the installation kit with base rails is a very necessary part of the assembly. So, in closing I can only say that if you do not have the parts to ship, be honest and state the truth. This has made me feel very negative now toward etrailor as I already had become with Camping World. Is there any honesty in the RV parts aftermarket?

Great design and sturdy! I just is on a 2021 ram 2500 6.4 8' bed installing when great, nothing a single person can't handle. I would recommend to anyone.

I really like the 5th hitch. It is just what I wanted.

Great fit and finish on the hitch. The mounting rails were perfect for my truck and the video of installation on the website was spot on. The package arrived really quickly and it was all in great shape. I don't know how it could be any better! If I could rate it 6 stars I would!

Great product, even better customer service, fast shipping, and a great price, installation was easy about 20 minutes, mounted on Reese mounting plate also from etrailer.

Everything seems very good so far. Very fast delivery. One damaged box but everything seems fine and nothing missing. I have the hitch together and ready to mount in the truck bed at this point. [Thumbs Up]

Very impressed with this hitch . I was a little thrown off by how heavy it really is but it looks great and feels split . The head price is really smooth as it rolls around. It should really help with towing noised and chucking .

Quick delivery hitch required minor assembly it was open box but looked like new. Works great very pleased with purchase.

I needed this in a hurry and it was here in 3 days.very happy

This is my first run-in with a fifth wheel, so I spent a lot of time researching as many of the aspects as I could. I knew I didn't want to mount bed rails, so the truck was outfitted with the factory in-bed mounts. That allowed the use of this hitch. Using this setup allows for a clear bed floor by merely unpinning and swiveling the four locks on the leg's ends, then lifting the whole mess up and away. It arrived in two separate boxes: good thing, it's heavy! Knowing that, the individual pieces were placed in the bed where it could be assembled closer to its landing place. The instructions were very clear, and, before we knew it, we had the mount dropped into place. Connecting to the trailer couldn't be easier. With the lever forward and the yellow dot showing through the status port in front, the truck slides back into place with a satisfying "chunk" as the hitch latches on. Drop the safety pin into the latch, make your connects, give one final tug with the tow vehicle so you know the hitch is properly latched, and off you go! Thanks, etrailer!

Great hitch, very impressed with shipping and communication with etrailer.

I HAVE ORDERED 5 PRODUCTS FROM E-TRAILER AND HAVE BEEN VERY SATISFIED WITH ALL OF THEM, ALL TO DO WITH MY CAMPER, TIRES,OUT DOOR CARPET,CURT FIFTH WHEEL AND MOUNTING BRACKETS, FIFTH WHEEL PIN SUPPORT.

I have not towed with it yet but the build quality is excellent. The finish is perfect. The slider function is very smooth. It was very easy to get in the truck, but not sure that is unique to any modern puck system. The cotter pin on the castle bolts on the puck locking handles were a bit finicky. It is heavy, but not as heavy as I thought. I think I have a few more years in me for moving it myself!

my companion 5th wheel hitch(rvk3370) hitch was delivered on 3/11, I installed it in a couple hours on 3/12. It was a piece of cake, the delivery was made with a lift gate truck that I back my truck up to and had the driver lower the lift gate down onto my tailgate, I unpackaged the hitch and was able to Maneuver it by myself into the puck system on my truck, I have the slider hitch so much heavier than the standard one, but still very easy for my 65 year old body to handle, the B t W was the only hitch I considered because of the ruggedness and quality of their products my truck is a 2023 Ford F 350

Needed a new set up for my 2020 GM 2500 with standard bed. I think the 20,000# B&W is going to work out great. I elected not to use a slider hitch based on successful past experience with my previous truck pulling my 5th wheel. The B&W is well made, high quality and intuitive products. I did nottice this hitch is not as adjustable as the previous Patriot 16k but I think it will work fine.

Etrailer made the process so easy from telling what hitch to buy for my gmc 2500 to the video on installing the hitch; installation was a breeze! Tks!

Wore out one RP30047 and bought a hitch with slide bar. bad mistake. bought another RP30047. Can't ask for better service. Easy hookup on level ground or on unlevel ground.

Received the hitch within 2 days of ordering. All the parts were there. Assembled it in an hour. Have not towed with it yet but I'm very impressed with how it looks. Upgrading from an old slide bar.

It preforms as described. For me it was difficult to get the base correctly set up so the hitch would easily remove out of the trunk bed then reinstall. I actually had to assemble the hitch in the trunk to get all of the parts to correctly align. My concern is what would happen if the hitch is rotated beyond the gears. The trailer can rotate beyond the limitation of the gears. The picture shows the hitch at full rotation but as you can see the trunk could still rotate farther without contact to the cab.

Item works exactly as described. I have a shortbed (6.5') Ford F350. Probably towed our 5th wheeler 5000+ miles with no problem. Then last year it happened! We were making a sharp turn in an uneven lot and POW, the 5vr hit the rear window and it exploded. After that I became gun shy about turning with the 5vr attached so I started looking at sliding hitches. A slider that you had to get out and unlatch to make work, didn't make sense to me. At what point do you get out? So, an auto slider hitch was purchased. Now when I get to a certain degree turn the auto-slide hitch moves back in its carriage and then auto-slides to the normal location once straightened out. Not gun shy anymore. Pro: Well packaged Well made Easy install It WORKS. Cons: Price Very heavy Some clunking after it straightens out from a turn

Parts arrived for the DM 8550043, received only the hitch base plate and adjustable shaft for the hitch head. Have been told that the hitch head is shipped separately. Now have a problem with the hitch plate fitting the bed rails. The holes for the pin that secures the hitch plate to the rails are to close to the bottom of the hitch plate photos are given of the problem a pencil was used for reference. There is NO WAY the pin will go through the rail and hitch plate. Waiting on a solution from etrailer. The hole that you can barely see the pencil is tailgate rails pin fits fine.

etrailer got it to me 2 days they r great. The hitch seems very solid and put together well. The issue I'm having is it doesn't adjust down to the height I need to ride level or what my Reese was. Haven't hooked up yet but will find out shortly if it needs to be returned.

The first shipment had wrong parts shipped with four slide mounts that were damaged (loose foot, gouges, damaged label, etc.) and no header or cross bar. The second replacement shipment had missing bolt, pin, and rubber parts from an obvious previous return where the customer had cut open the parts bag and the parts were all loose in the box with some going out the holes during shipment. The header and cross beam were also gouged and scraped up. The boxes that were in really poor condition heavily taped, holes, and falling apart - obvious returns instead of a new hitch we were buying.

GREAT GREAT GREAT EXPERIENCE AND EVERYTHING THAT GOES WITH THIS WEB SITE.....PRODUCT TO PRICING TO SERVICE.....
