Question:
Hello, I have a 2011 dodge 2500 hd with the cummins. I will tow a 36 fifth wheel with dry weight of aprox 14000 lbs. The bed is the 6-6 foot. What hitch can you recommend also with the ability to change over to a gooseneck ball when needed. Thanks

Expert Reply:
Since you said you'd like to be able to tow a gooseneck trailer in addition to the fifth wheel trailer I suggest the B&W Companion. The fifth wheel hitch # BWRVK3400-5W is a sliding hitch that will help you make sharp turns without hitting the truck with the trailer. To install the hitch in your 2011 Ram 2500 you'll need to use # BWGNRK1313-5W which is an underbed gooseneck hitch for the fifth wheel hitch to mount into. So you'll have the ability to tow both types of trailers.
If you'd like to make hooking up to your trailer easier by installing wiring in the truck bed use # C56000.
