I am growing weary trying to figure out which hitch will work with my 2015 Ram 3500 / 6.5 bed with the Ram Puck System.
My heart is sold on the B&W Companion RVK3600 but figure I need to stay with a slider. However the RVK3600 does allow for 6 inches of rearward permanent adjustment. Is this enough to not need a slider ?????
B&W also makes a slider (RVK3400), but I would not be able to utilize the factory installed puck system.
I also like the ISR Series SuperGlide (model 2900) from PullRite. But would need to buy a new picture frame adapter (model 4439) to make this work in the pucks, but this causes me concern on the hitch being too tall.
I’m just not finding a lot of options for a 6.5ft bed with the Ram Puck System without using the Picture Frame 5th Wheel Hitch Mounting Adapter.
I would sure appreciate some guidance from the Ram guys that have already been down this road.
There is a fair amount of fore/aft adjustment with the Companion and, with a 350, you would likely have plenty of room to adjust the hitch head to the rear for more clearance, and not have payload issues. Now, if your FW is skirting the limits on your truck's payload, you'd have to be =real= careful with this. I'd certainly call B&W and ask them about using the Companion with the picture frame adapter.
