B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs
Love the B&W hitches, this is my second one. First was the companion to the turnover ball. That one was a little smaller and lighter for installing and removing. This one is with the Ram puck system, a little bigger, heavier and more awkward installing and removing. Mostly leave in now until I fabricate some sort of system. With that being said size and weight is no fault of B&W as you had to work with the Ram puck system. Overall I am happy with the hitch any complaints I have are with Ram.
Love it. I took it out of the box, walked it over to my truck, and set into the openings in my truck bed and turned the handles and put pins in and I didn't even have to adjust it it was perfectly tight. Put the two pieces on to hold the top piece and added a little Grease and it was ready to go. I have a 2017 Ram 3500 4 X4 long bed with airbags and mounted it forward and up all the way. I'm pulling an 18000 pound fifth wheel with flex-air king pin and it rides perfectly. PERFECTLY. I'M very happy with the quality of build and ease of use.

B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Dual Jaw - 18,000 lbs
One small detail left of in mounting instructions. When positioning the front rail use the mounting pins for the base in front and rear rails. If not trying to get the pins in one the rails are secured could lead to misalignment making it difficult to put pins in later. This can be as minor as a max of 1/8" yet enough for pins not to align with base rails.
This is an excellent hitch, easy install on existing mounting rails! Etrailer had the best price by far and provided free shipping! I would highly recommend this company, the only issue I had was with UPS freight, who sat on my shipment for two full weeks before delivering it.
