We have a few fifth wheel hitches that were specifically designed to fit the hitch prep package of your 2015 Ram 3500 with an 8 foot bed such as the following:

Curt 20k Hitch part # C16530-16021
Curt 24K Hitch part # C16545-16021
Curt 16k Hitch part # C16520-16021 Since you said 16k this might be your best option.
Curt E16k Hitch part # C16515-16021 This one uses an economical head design that would cost less than the others but wouldn't be nearly as nice.
B and W Companion Hitch # BWRVK3600
Reese 20k Fifth Wheel Hitch part # RP30918

Prices are all available at the links below.

Answer 6

The hitch I would highly recommend is the Reese part #RP30918. This fits directly to the rail kit of your 2015 Ram 3500 and has a 20k capacity. To prevent chucking/noise this hitch uses a hook which grabs the king pin and holds it tightly which…

A properly set up Reese Revolution/Sidewinder (they are the same thing), would not be a setup that would be prone to chucking. Especially with either of the two hitches you referenced, #RP30918 and #BWRVK3600. These hitches are amount the nicest on…

The Reese Elite/Signature series 5th wheel hitches like the 18K model #RP30142 and the 26K model #RP30871 are made specifically for the Ford factory 5th wheel prep package. As you noted these hitches will not fit into the similar puck system in the…

The Reese Elite Series Pre-Assembled 5th Wheel Hitch, part #RP30144 is not designed to work with the factory pucks in the bed of your 2016 Ram, but I do have a solution for you. I recommend a fifth wheel hitch like part #C16541. This is a 20,000 lb…

The Ram hitch prep package of your 2014 Ram 3500 has much wider spaced install-pucks than the standard Elite hitch foot print so you would have to go with a new hitch. What you would need is the Reese Hitch part #RP30918 as this is a similar style…

Answer 11

The two best options from what you mentioned are the Reese M5 part #RP30918 and the Companion #BWRVK3600. If you wanted to go with a Curt the A25 part #C16046 would be the better option as this essentially is the updated version of the Q series with…

Answer 12

The lube plate #RP83001 will do the job to keep your pin box from scraping as it slides onto the head of your Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch #RP30922 but you can also grease the jaws using a grease gun like #L30132 to apply grease to the grease…
