Need help on a hitch. I have a 2026 Ram 2500 with the OEM puck system in the bed. The bed is 6.4 . I need to know what you recommend on the hitch for a Forest River 240RE camper.

Hey William, thanks for reaching out. I see you already got a hitch on order, and honestly, you made a great choice. The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3670 is exactly what you need for the puck system in your 2026 Ram 2500, and the slider hitch is exactly what we recommend for the short bed. That'll help with cab clearance if you ever need to make any super tight turns.
The B&W hitches are one of the most durable and user-freindly on the market, so I'm sure it'll serve you well for years to come. Let me know how you like it once you get a chance to use it!
