Yes, the Reese OEM 5th Wheel Hitch, # RP30918, for your 2015 Ram 2500 with 6ft bed and prep package, can be used to tow a trailer that is equipped with a Reese Revolution pin box. You'll also need the custom wedge kit # RP44FR to prevent the king pin of the Revolution from pivoting in the jaws of the # RP30918.

I have attached an article which is packed with information on the Sidewinder (the aftermarket version of the Reese Revolution) that you may find helpful.

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 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…

I spoke to my contact at Reese and you have a couple options. If you wanted to use your current hitch in your new truck you will need to upgrade the slider of it to the #RP50024. Or, if you have a short bed truck and need the slider for tight turns,…

For your 2020 Ram 2500 Long Bed I really like the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package - Single Jaw - 20,000 lbs part #RP30918 . This hitch is one of the easiest to use, offers great ride quality and is extremely well made.…

Curt manufacturers the Mopar hitches. The Mopar 20,000 lb. hitch is essentially the Curt Q20 5th wheel hitch, which is not compatible with rotating pin boxes like a sidewinder. The reason for this doesn't have to do with a wedge, the head on the…
