• 5th Wheel Installation Kit for a 2015 Ram 3500 Dually Short Bed
  As long as your 2015 Ram 3500 dually short bed does NOT have the 4 pucks (factory 5th wheel prep package) then you will be able to install a 5th wheel installation kit such as # RP50085-58.

• Is Valley Powerpull 5th Wheel Hitch Compatible with Reese Industry Standard Truck Bed Mounting Rails
  The Reese # RP50085-58 bracket/rail kit is compatible with your truck. If memory serves correctly, the Valley PowerPull was compatible with the industry standard bed rails that Reese (and other companies) uses. You can confirm this for yourself by measuring the spacing of your hitch mounting tabs that insert into the rails front to back and side to side, center on center. Compare the results with the photo I've edited for you. The tabs, when measured front to back should be about 22 inches...

• Reese Fifth Wheel Rail Kit that Fits 2020 Ram 3500 without OEM Rail Kit
  Reese has fifth wheel rail kits that fit your 2020 Ram 3500 but due to the design of the truck you'd have to use a custom fit since none of the universal kits fit the truck. So Reese has the # RP50085-58 which is a fit that would be a much better option than a universal kit as it does not require frame drilling and also minimizes install time.

• How to Tow a 5th Wheel Trailer with a 2018 Ram 3500 Short Bed Rambox
  As long as you are using a Sidewinder pin box, you should not have any problems with a 5th wheel trailer on your 2018 Ram 3500 with Rambox. The Rambox limits the side to side clearance in your truck bed which is problematic for fixed pin boxes as they will likely contact the inside of the bed. Using a Sidewinder will move the pivot point away from the bed sides and will allow for greater turning clearance and minimized interference. Unfortunately, an under bed mounting kit is not compatible...

• Easiest to Install Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2018 Ram 3500 Long Bed
  We do have custom fifth wheel bracket kits that fit your 2018 Ram 3500 but you'll need to make sure that the rails you have are Reese since we can't recommend mixing rail and bracket manufacturers. If you do have Reese rails all you'd need is the bracket kit part # RP50085 which is custom fit for your truck. If you have a different brand of rails are you aren't sure what you have then we have to recommend you go with an all new rail kit part # RP50085-58 which gives you the same bracket...

• Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit for a 2018 Ram 3500 with a 6-1/2' Bed
  The correct Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit for a 2018 Ram 3500 with a 6-1/2' bed is the part # RP50085. The part # RP50054 is only a fit for a 2018 Ram 2500. We have the complete base rail kit available as part # RP50085-58 but if you already have the Base Rails # RP58058 then you would just need the Bracket Kit # RP50085 and the Replacement Hardware # RP58430 since the hardware is only supposed to be torqued to specs one time.

• 5th Wheel Hitch Install Kit for 2014 Ram 3500 Crew Cab Long Bed
  According to my Reese representative, with the 2014 Ram 3500 you need to use one of the Custom Install Kits, such as part # RP50085-58. The custom install kit doesn't require any holes be drilled into the truck frame (just up through the bed to join the rails to the frame brackets). The RBW Lil Rocker is compatible with industry standard bed rails, so it will be compatible with the bed rails supplied with the kit I recommended above. If you don't already have a 7-way installed in your...

• Recommended 5th Wheel Install Kit for a 2014 Dodge Ram 3500 with 6-1/2 Foot Bed
  In order to install a Reese 5th wheel hitch in the bed of your 2014 Dodge Ram 3500, I recommend using the either the Reese Quick-Install Custom Inboard Installation Kit part # RP50085-58 or the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit part # RP56010-53. The only difference between the two is where the connection points are for the frame brackets and base rails.

• Recommended Fifth Wheel Hitch For A 2021 Ram 3500 With Ram Boxes
  Since your 2021 Ram 3500 has Ram boxes you will most definitely want a rotating pin box like the # RP61422 to prevent the pin box from coming into contact with the bed rails. This will also increase the turning radius because you'll be pushing the pivot point back 22". Pin boxes have specific bolt patterns so you'll need to find the correct replacement for your trailer's current pin box. If you need help determining the correct fit then just send me some pictures of your current pin box...

• Fifth Wheel Rail Kit for 2018 Ram 3500 Short Bed

• Can a Single Attachment Point B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch be Used with a Sidewinder Pin Box
  You actually shouldn't be using a B&W Companion hitch with a Sidewinder at all. The problem is because of the single attachment point and the force applied to the hitch from the Sidewinder it could cause the gooseneck hitch under the bed to get damaged or even break free causing the whole assembly, including the Companion, to rotate. The only difference between the regular Companion and slider is that the slider can slide back to allow more clearance between the truck and trailer when...

• Will the B&W Companion Work With Sidewinder On 2018 Ram 3500 with RamBox
  I do have an option for you but in order to tow a fifth wheel trailer using a truck with RamBox like a 2018 Ram 3500, you'll have to go with a pin box with rotating turret as that's the only way to clear the bed sides. Pin boxes with rotating turrets like the Reese Sidewinder cannot be used with gooseneck to fifth wheel adapters like the B&W Companion. Therefore, the only option would be a new fixed fifth wheel hitch. I recommend the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30928 with...
