The height of the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3600 would be from the bed to the top of the hitch plate. This is to meet up with the pin box on the fifth wheel so that it rides level while you tow for better handling.

Answer 1

Hey John, yes the Reese Goose Box part #RP59KR does fit your 2023 Cougar 23MLE since we know you have a Road Armour Lippert 1621 pin box on your camper and that's what this is.

For a trailer that weighs, 14,500 lbs I would strongly recommend a 3500 series truck. Even if the 2500 could technically tow it the 3500's higher rated suspension will make for a much better towing experience. Less sag and a smoother ride when…

Answer 3

The two best options from what you mentioned are the Reese M5 part #RP30918 and the Companion #BWRVK3600. If you wanted to go with a Curt the A25 part #C16046 would be the better option as this essentially is the updated version of the Q series with…

Answer 4

Tall/lifted trucks are not ideal for towing since they can lead to an out-of-level (nose high) condition on the trailer, which in turn can lead to issues with sway. Even though you have taken steps to get the trailer level again (the axle over-under…

Hello John, thanks for reaching out. For starters, the B&W Companion hitch #BWRVK3600 you were looking at is the correct fit for your 2022 Ram 2500. As you said, it will install directly into the 5 holes or "factory puck system" as we…

Hey Jerry, GM moved the placement of their puck systems starting with 2020 models so you are correct that the pucks would have the hitch not sit directly over the axle. GM did the math and made sure that this placement wouldn't adversely affect…

Answer 9

The Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part #C16046 is a great 5th wheel hitch but I believe it pales in comparison to the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch part #BWRVK3600. There are a few reason I feel this way. The first is that the A25 actually…

Answer 10

Hey Clarendon, great question but no the Reese Goose Box part #RP59KR would not find up like your fifth wheel hitch does. The really great thing about gooseneck couplers is that due their design they just don't get bound up like fifth wheel…

Answer 11

Nice truck! I hope you enjoy your road trips. We do not offer any auto-slider 5th wheel hitches but we do have many standard sliding hitch options from Pro Series, Reese and B&W. Even better, since your truck has the factory prep package you have…

Answer 12

Good question Mel, and I don't blame you for being confused since there are a lot of options and there is probably more than one right answer. The correct pivot arm position will depend on the clearance between the nose of the camper and the cab…
