Question:
I recently bought a BandW slider 5th wheel hitch for 2022 ram 2500 with rail mount kit. I am now looking at a 3500 with puck system. Can i move this hitch over and do the make a puck to rail adapter for it or what is my option?

Expert Reply:
Hey Brett, you would have to get a new hitch. The reason is the head of your B and W Patriot hitch can't be transferred to a hitch base that would fit your pucks and none of the puck kit adapters can work with the Patriot slider unfortunately.
So your best option is going to be the B and W Companion hitch part # BWRVK3600 for a fixed hitch or the part # BWRVK3670 for a slider if you need the turning clearance. Do you use the slider on your current hitch?
