Recommended Sidewinder Compatible 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2026 Ram 2500 w/ RamBoxes  

Howard, like jerred mentioned if you have the puck system installed from the factory... without a doubt you'd love the B & W hitch. I've had it for a couple years now and have zero regrets buying it. That being said Some fifth wheels have more living area above the truck so you need too make sure you can turn 90 with the stationary hitch style so the camper won't hit the cab of the truck. That can be an issue with 6 ft boxes and why alot of people choose the 8 ft box with bigger fifth wheels. My older truck came within 2 inches of the cab when making a sharp turn. Good luck

Howard, I've had the B&W for a little over a year now. My pinbox is a sidewinder. My truck is a 2016 Ram with the short box. I have used the sidewinder for years because it allows you to make 90 degree turns with the short box. The B&W is really smooth and well made. Make sure that your trailer will ride level with the adjustments that can be made on the sidewinder and the B&W. The height adjustments between the B&W and the Sidewinder were just enough for my 2019 Montana to be acceptable.

Howard - I have a 2025 RAM 3500 long bed, dually. I ordered the truck with every towing option offered, including the auto-leveling suspension. She also came with the puck system that makes it so easy to install/remove the B&W hitch. I love the hitch!! I love the fact that its all manual, no spring loaded locks that can fail or give you a false sense of security. When you close that handle, and lock it with the pin, it cant come undone!! I pull a 42', 20,000lb Brinkley, and at 68 MPH, I forget I'm pulling a trailer! I familiar the Sidewinder pin box, they seem to work well, but as mentioned by Scott, make sure you can turn 90 degrees. Best of Luck!!
