2018 Ram 3500 Gooseneck Hitch Questions

• Recommended Offset Ball for Clearance w/ a Short Bed Truck and a Reese Goose Box
  
• Congrats on the new hobby! A Reese Goose Box like item # RP85FR doesn't do much to help you with clearance and you will want all the help you can get with a short bed truck. You have two options to get more clearance when turning or backing in with your 2018 Ram 3500 with a 6-1/2' bed and I have listed them below: The first option, and the one I highly recommend if you don't already have a Reese Goosebox, is to not change out the king pin on your 2021 Alliance Paradigm 340RL...

• How To Tow Both Gooseneck and 5th Wheel Trailers With a 2018 Ram 3500 Without Prep
  
• If you have a 2018 Ram 3500 WITH the factory prep package then you only need a hitch ball to tow a gooseneck trailer like part # BWGNXA2062 and a fifth wheel hitch that mounts in the pucks like part # BWRVK3600 to tow a fifth wheel trailer. If you have a 2018 Ram 3500 WITHOUT the factory prep package then you need a gooseneck hitch in order to tow a gooseneck trailer like part # BWGNRK1314 and a gooseneck to fifth wheel hitch adapter like part # BWRVK3500 in order to tow a fifth...

• Reese Goose Box for 2018 Grand Design Solitude 344 G
  
• The compatibility will depend on the manufacturer and model number of your existing pin box. That information should be located on sticker or ID plate located on the pin box. Lippert is a major supplier of OEM products, so it's likely one of the available models will work for you. We offer three different Goose Box models, here's a listing of part numbers and which OEM pin boxes they replace: • # RP94716-61301 has a 16K capacity, and replaces the Lippert 0115, 1116 and 1716...

• Recommended Taller Gooseneck Hitch Ball Compatible with 2018 Ram 3500 Factory Pucks
  
• You are correct that the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ram Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNXA2062 is taller at 5-3/4 inches above the bed. The hitch ball is only available in the kit as you stated. I reached out to my tech contact at Curt and the kit # C60692 will allow the hitch ball to fit your Ram but the safety chain anchors will not fit your Ram pucks. So what you want is the hitch ball # C60629 (and the Ram safety chain anchors # C60617 which came with...

• Will B&W Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Fit a 2018 Ram 3500 with Factory Air Leveling Suspension
  
• Yes, you can install B&W Turnover Ball gooseneck trailer hitch # BWGNRK1314 on your 2018 Ram 3500 with the factory air leveling system. Your truck already has the structure under the bed to add the gooseneck hitch which means this installation does not require frame brackets (not to be confused with the factory prep package which is a little different). It is normally the frame brackets that can interfere with things like air suspension. But in this case it is not an issue! I...

• Gooseneck Hitch Ball Mount For a 2018 Ram 3500 Long Bed
  
• I recommend installing the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1314 on your 2018 Ram 3500 long bed. This particular hitch is designed to mount on the cross braces already on your Ram. As this hitch uses the square shank with locking pin it will allow you to add the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3500 if you later need to tow a 5th wheel without the Gen-Y style pin box you have now.

• Is Hitch Ball for Curt Gooseneck Plate # 16055 Welded to Plate
  
• The hitch ball for the Curt Gooseneck Plate # 16055 referenced in your question is welded into place and cannot be removed. If you are looking for a similar gooseneck plate that attaches to 5th wheel base rails but with a removable hitch ball I recommend taking a look at the Reese Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # RP58079. The ball for this system locks into place with a snap ring. This not only allows the ball to be removed if needed but also lets it rotate when you're...

• Goose Box Installation Along with Safety Chains and Gooseneck Hitch for 2018 Ram OEM Pucks
  
• The Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter 94622 for the Lippert 1621 has been replaced with # RP85FR and yes it comes already assembled. You simply will remove the 4 bolts on each side of your current pin box and install the 8 bolts in the Goose Box.

• Does Curt Gooseneck Hitch Ball C60618 Fit 2018 Ram 3500 Without OEM Prep Package
  
• The Curt Ball and Safety Chain Loops Kit part # C60618 that you referenced requires the OEM prep package of your 2018 Ram 3500. There isn't a way to install this in your truck if it didn't have the OEM prep package. For a similar gooseneck hitch from Curt that fits your truck if you didn't have the OEM prep package you'd want the part # C60626.

• Gooseneck Hitch For 2018 Ram 3500 Cab & Chassis
  
• There isn't a hitch that mounts directly to the frame of your 2018 Ram 3500 cab and chassis so you'll have to have some type of flatbed or plate welded to the frame in order to use a gooseneck hitch. I know it's not what you want to hear but there's honestly just no other option. If you do that you can then use the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Flatbed Trucks # BWGNRK1500.

• Gooseneck Ball and Safety Chain Hooks for 2018 Ram 3500 with Factory Gooseneck Hitch
  
• We sure do! For the factory gooseneck hitch on your 2018 Ram 3500 I recommend the Curt Ball and Safety Chain Loops Kit # C60618. This kit includes the 2-5/16 inch hitch ball that will mount to the factory gooseneck receiver and the 2 safety-chain hookups that will attach right to those pucks in the bed. The hitch ball has a 30,000 pound towing weight capacity.

• Is There An Adapter To Make A Curt Gooseneck Hitch Fit A B&W Companion Square Tube Hitch
  
• There is no adapter to change the tube of your Curt gooseneck hitch to fit the square tube design of a B&W fifth wheel hitch. You would need to remove the Curt and install the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit # BWGNRK1314.

• How To Tell If a 2018 Ram 3500 Has the Prep Package For Gooseneck Hitch Install
  
• The factory prep package on a 2018 Ram 3500 is pretty apparent so odds are you don't have this if you are unsure. If the indentations for the four outer pucks and center gooseneck hitch ball are present but there are no actual holes in the truck bed then you don't have the factory prep package. The factory prep package has the indentations but there are covers over each of the holes which you remove to install the hitch ball/safely chain loops or fifth wheel hitch. In other words,...

• Gooseneck Ball Recommendation for 2018 RAM 3500
  
• The highest capacity hitch ball we have for your 2018 Ram is 30k like the Curt ball part # C60618 which comes with safety chain loops. Your truck is most likely not rated for towing over 30k so having a hitch ball rated higher wouldn't gain you additional capacity as you are only as strong as the weakest component in your towing setup. I attached an install video for this kit for you to check out as well that shows it installed in a similar 2017 Ram.
