Reese Signature Hitch

Demco makes an adapter bracket for newer Dodges/Rams.

I bought a second gen for my GMC and it works great.

Cool visual! Thanks!

I see your using the OEM pucks.

I'm using the Turnover Ball setup. (B&W model 1314)

I'm trying to figure out which way I put in the big square post. Position 1 or Position 2. Per the install manual it says for some Rams use position 2 but they don't tell you which Ram models position 2 is applicable for.

Sorry thought you have pucks. I had the 18k companion and placed the side supports as I pictured and I placed the base FULL forward on my 2011 RAM DRW HD.

Here is your VISUAL. The side head supports each have a straight and angled side. Straight towards cab.

Note the white lithium grease on top of the head supports and the grease zerk on the bottom of the head.

Awesome! Thank you.

Would the socket post be installed in "position 2" as per the diagram on pg 2 of the instructions?

I hoping to get this right the first time.

Many thanks again!

The instructions give me 3 options for horizontal placement of the pivot arms. (pg 3, table D1 of instructions)

I'm putting it in an '18 Ram dually and am asking which position most are using for this model truck.

Many thanks!

Full forward with straight edges toward cab in lowest height setting.

Welcome to the Famous "B&W FANBOY CLUB"

Actually I used the Reese puck setup for the '03 Ram. As such, I'm hosed as far as using the old Signature since Reese confirmed that they do not make a puck style picture frame adapter.

I've decided, and thank you for everyone's input, to pull the trigger on the B&W Turnover Ball receiver along with the RVK3500 Companion hitch.

The torquing and loosening of the bolt each time to install/uninstall the hitch seems like a little hassle but no one seems to mind and I'm sure I'll get used to it and love the hitch as all seem to.

Thanks again for all of the input.

Happy camping and safe travels to all.

Not to side track this topic but what is the advantage to using a truck specific puck mount hitch vs. a goose neck/turnover ball mounted hitch? I'm thinking if I buy a new truck in the future especially if I change brands the puck hitch I can't take with me vs goose neck ball one I can. Puck hitch would be harder to sell as well given a much smaller pool of people needing a used hitch.

Here is my opinion...The puck mount is the future, and will only get more popular. It is easier to install/remove, and more solid when installed, than the B&W 3500 single point. The B&W bases/heads can be purchased separately, so changing just the base for a different brand truck is less than half of the hitch cost.

Myself...I never buy anything, with the idea of resale to someone else. I buy what I want/need, works best for me. Case in point...I ordered/purchased a brand new extended cab truck in 13. I still have it, and it is best for my use. Some said "you should have gotten the crew cab, it would be worth more when you sell/trade". I don't care if it is worth less, when I get rid of it. I bought it for my use.
