Actually, to buy the 5th wheel prep kit in case your truck did not come with it is only 250 bucks (yes, Mopar has it, part number 82213665AB). Then you can get the RVK3600, or you can get a picture frame adapter from Reese and use a more conventional hitch
I assume the prep kit is for the 4 corners ?
Yep, it's the 4 pucks from what I understand. Mopar decided to make it retrofittable in case future RAM owners (Used vehicles) buy a truck and want the system in it.
Thanks that's good to know. I really don't need the gooseneck setup if I have the 4 points for the B&W RVK3600.
I see it like this: the underbed mounts from chrysler seem to be running about $210.00 and the RVK 3600 is 1159.00. Together you're paying $1369.00. The installation would require drilling four holes in your bed.
The turnover ball and companion run 1318.00 (two hitches). Plus the install is one hole in the bed, which requires zero measuring. Unless you need the 25,000 capacity that the RVK3600 offers, I would say that the turnover and companion is the way to go. May not need the gooseneck now but maybe in the future plus enhanced resale value.
