Will Reese Signature Series Fit OEM Puck System on 2022 Ram 3500

Question

Question:

I'm going to be getting a 2022 Ram 3500 long bed with the OEM puck system. Can I use my older Reese 18K Signature Series 5th wheel hitch with this puck system or are they completely different things?

You will need to use a different 5th wheel hitch for the puck system on your 2022 Ram 3500 as the Reese Signature Series hitches were designed to fit the Ford OEM puck systems and the Reese Elite underbed systems.

Since it sounds like you like the Reese Signature Series hitch I recommend upgrading to the Reese M5 which comes in 20K # RP30918 and 27K # RP37FR weight capacities. These will fit directly to the puck system on your long bed and have an upgraded cushioning system and single-jaw when compared to the Reese Signature so you'll feel an increase in ride quality.

There's not an adapter but there is a way to mount your Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item #RP37FR to a set of 5th wheel rails in your 2000 Ford F-250. You can swap out the legs that fit the Ram puck system with the Replacement Legs for Reese…

Yes, you can Drew! The legs on the Reese M5 item #RP79ZR can be swapped out with the Replacement Legs for Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item #RP30917. This will let you drop your 5th wheel hitch down into your Ram's factory puck system. The…

The Ram hitch prep package of your 2014 Ram 3500 has much wider spaced install-pucks than the standard Elite hitch foot print so you would have to go with a new hitch. What you would need is the Reese Hitch part #RP30918 as this is a similar style…

The part number you provided, which in our system is #BWRVB3500, is just the replacement base for the standard Companion hitch which is #BWRVK3500. If they are selling just the base then you will also need the head which is #BWRVC3006. Your 2018 Ram…

There is an option to add a 5th wheel hitch to your 2020 Ram 2500 short bed with the factory puck system and side boxes, though for clearance what you will need is a fixed hitch and a Sidewinder pin box. The Sidewinder will replace your 5th wheel…

Answer 7

The hitch does not have to be specific to the Sidewinder; however, certain fifth-wheel hitches are not compatible with Sidewinders. Sidewinders cannot be used with a 5th wheel hitch that mounts to a gooseneck hitch, the Curt Q or A series hitches, or…

Answer 9

Curt and Reese both make exceptional 5th wheel hitches and you really wouldn't go wrong with a hitch from either of these manufacturers. Since you have the factory puck system I recommend first narrowing down your options to hitches that will…

Answer 10

A properly set up Reese Revolution/Sidewinder (they are the same thing), would not be a setup that would be prone to chucking. Especially with either of the two hitches you referenced, #RP30918 and #BWRVK3600. These hitches are amount the nicest on…

Answer 11

What you're wanting to do is possible, but it won't be inexpensive. Unfortunately, the upgrade won't involve just a new set of legs, you'll need a new center section as well as the hitch version that fits the Ford OEM and the Ram OEM…

Answer 12

I do have an option for a 2020 Ram 3500 but the Reese 18K Signature Series 5th Wheel Hitch is not compatible nor is than any adapter that will allow it to be. Instead, I recommend the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part #RP30918 which is an updated…
