Question:
I have the Reese underbed rail kit for my 2012 RAM 2500 megacab. I want to go with a BandW hitch. Is the BWRVK3600 compatible with the Reese underbed rail kit? OR are there alternatives?

I do have an option for you but the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package part # BWRVK3600 will not work with the Reese Elite Series Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # RP30158-52 you have installed on your 2012 Ram 2500 as the connection points will not align.
Instead, you will want to use the B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch for Ford Super Duty Prep Package part # BWRVK3300 for 8' beds or part # BWRVK3370 for 6-1/2' beds. The connection points used on the Reese Elite are the same as the one's used in the Ford factory rail kit which is why you will want to use this hitch.
