Are B&W Base Rails Compatible With Demco Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch on 2018 Ram 2500?  

Updated 04/09/2018 | Published 04/06/2018



Question:

Just making sure this can be used with the demco ultimate slider

Expert Reply:

The B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # BWRVK2602 is compatible with above-bed fifth wheel hitches from Demco, so if by "Ultimate Slider" you were referencing a Demco Hijacker such as # DM8550034 which mounts on above-bed rails then yes, it will work in your 2018 Ram 2500.

I've added a link to a video review of these rails as well as an install video of the rails being put on an '18 Ram 2500.
