Question:

Our 2018 Ram 3500 is loaded for bear in terms of towing capacity. We took every towing upgrade option so we can know we're not going to strain the truck towing our large 5th wheel (GVWR 19.5). We want the best quality highest capacity 5th wheel hitch you sell. Truck is long bed with factory pucks.

Expert Reply:

The high-capacity 5th wheel hitch I recommend for your Ram 3500 with OEM-prep is the B&W 25K Companion model for the Ram prep package, part # BWRVK3600. This will drop right into your factory prep setup without need for any adapters or rails.

I strongly recommend this USA-made 25K hitch because of its unmatched build quality. B&W does all of their own design, fabrication and assembly right in their family-owned Kansas facility. This manufacturing control results in a hitch with outstanding build, with features like beefy 1-inch-thick hitch jaws for iron-fisted grip on your 5th wheel king pin, a fully-articulating head for easier hookup, rattle-free operation thanks to polyurethane bushings, three height settings and 6-inches of front-to-back adjustment. All of this and a limited lifetime warranty are yours with the Companion 25K.

For more details on the Companion please refer to the linked review and installation videos.

If you want some custom-fit towing mirrors for your Ram I suggest you check out the K-Source set # KS60193-94C. This set of custom flip-out extendable towing mirrors includes special features such as power mirror adjustment, heated glass, turn signals and puddle lamps. These functions are built into the mirrors and will work on your truck so long as its OEM mirrors also have these functions. The mirrors use the OEM mounting points and wiring connections.
