Question:
I have a 2025 ram 3500 I’m looking to install the BandW companion 5th wheel hitch I’m having the puck system installed. Do you need to utilize the goose neck when installing this hitch ?

Hi Ken!
When using the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs # BWRVK3600 with the pucks in your 2025 Ram 3500, it will not attach to the gooseneck. If you take a look at the attached picture, you can see the four feet that lock into the pucks and an open enter section.
What kind of 5th wheel will you be towing?
