Question:

I have a 2018 Ram 2500 and my bed is 6-1/2 feet. I have the factory prep package also. Can you tell me what the absolute BEST fifth wheel hitch is that fits?

The best fifth wheel for your 2018 Ram 2500 is the B&W Companion # BWRVK3670, which is a sliding hitch that will fit directly in your Ram's factory pucks. The Companion is considered by many to be the highest-quality fifth wheel hitch available. With more than 400 reviews from our customers who have purchased it, this hitch has received a nearly unanimous 5-star rating.

The hitch features dual jaws which are a full 1" thick to provide complete contact with your king pin so you can have faith that your connection is completely secure. I've added a picture of the jaws so you can see for yourself how impressive they are.

The Companion is also going to give you a much quieter ride with less rattling than other fifth wheels due to that secure connection, along with its polyurethane bushings. This hitch also has a pivoting head to make hooking up easier, a cam-action latch to deter binding, offers three different height settings to ensure you are level with your fifth wheel and has a towing capacity of 20,000 lbs.

If you do not yet have a wiring harness you will need that as well for your fifth wheel and the best option for your '18 Ram is the Pollak 5th Wheel / Gooseneck T-Connector with 7-Pole # PK11893-11932.
