Question:

Hello ! For my 2019 RAM 1500 long bed I am loking for a below bed gooseneck hitch for my gooseneck cargo trailer. Managed to find a below bed B andW Fifth Wheel hitch using BWGNRK1319-SW gooseneck hitch as its below bed rails. That would be ideal combination of gooseneck and fifth weel below bed hitches, althoug I dont neceserely need fore/aft travel function. Is there a possibility of installation of BandW fifth wheel hitch on the BWGNRK1319-sw installation rails ? Are there other possiebilities of below bed gooseneck rails in combination with below bed fifth wheel hitches in your offer ? I would need at least 11000 IBs towing capacity and 2200 Ibs pin weight. Best regards,

The B&W Companion hitches that fit with the B&W Underbed Kit # BWGNRK1319-5W are the slider # BWRVK3400-5W and the fixed # BWRVK3500-5W. Normally we recommend using the sliding version for short bed trucks but there are times when the fixed Companion can be used for a short bed truck (like if the 5th wheel RV has a tapered nose).

I recommend going with the slider just because it's better to be safe than sorry in my opinion, but it's ultimately up to you. There are other hitches that can be used, but they require an adapter to fit with the B&W Underbed Kit.
