Could There be Room for Aux Fuel Tank with B and W Slider 5th Wheel Hitch for Ram Truck
Updated 01/12/2026 | Published 08/31/2024
Question:
Is there room to add an auxiliary fuel tank in front of the hitch ? Or a small one inside of bed ? While being used in a 2019 ram 2500 6 1/2’ bed. Thank you.

Hey Dennis, it's possible but you would need to do some measuring to be sure. From the center of the forwardmost puck in the bed of your 2019 Ram 2500 the B and W hitch part # BWRVK3670 take up an additional 5 inches so you would need to use that dimension to determine how much room you'd have for a tank and go from there.
