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.

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 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…

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…

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…

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…
