B&W or Pullrite 5th wheel hitch?

[Arcamper]

I am upgrading my truck to a new Ram with the factory 5th wheel prep. My other truck was a shortbed with a 16k Superglide. Loved the hitch and it is still like new after 7 years. My problem is to use it in the new truck (long bed ) I would have to use an adapter on top of the new rails fitting the puck system. I am afraid it will put the hitch to high. So I am going to buy a new hitch and I want either a B&W RVK 3600 made for the Dodge factory hitch prep or a Pullrite 25k super 5th. I like the wrap around latch on the Pullrite and have experience with it. I read a lot of good stuff about the B&W Companion head also and it is less expensive. My question is has anyone used both and what was your likes and dislikes about each?

Seen lots of "these" with REESE and Husky with that handle design.

The MorRyde is all that is moving. It's designed to do so to help with chucking.

Looks like the video has a Mor/ryde and that is what is moving not the hitch. Nothing on the hitch that I would want to move as the video showed.

Although the BW is very well built, the single point attachment leaves a lot to be desired. You will get a fair amount of movement.

Here is a video that will show how the BW moves. A four point attachment hitch is way better, they do not move at all.

What hitch do you have?

RVK3600 can't move!

Just look at them side by side! B&W has 1" thick machined jaws that fit the kingpin perfectly. The PullRite has 1/2" laminated jaw that won't fit as good as the B&W.

B&W has a simple no question latching system. The B&W RVK3600 is top quality and is made specifically to fit your factory puck system. No picture frame adapter is required that just adds more connection points. They are quiet with no rattles.

Ask anyone that has a B&W and have used other non air ride hitches their opinion and they will tell you B&W is by far the best out there. No goofy handle to try to operate or color coding to tell you if you are latched.

With the B&W hitching is so simple. With the hitch and kingpin plates touching, and the handle closed and locked, visually see the 1" thick jaws closed around the kingpin there is no question if you are hitched or not. It's that simple.

You have the best truck so be sure to get the best hitch to go along with it!

I have the RVK3600 sitting in my shop waiting on the arrival of my 15 RAM.

Yep, picking the truck up today and I can't wait! I know it must be killing you waiting on yours. I will post some pics this weekend after I get it dressed ( mud flaps, bed rails, ventshades ect. )

Very happy for you!

I should be doing the same but no such luck!

Good call on the B&W! Looking forward to your thoughts after using the B&W VS the PullRite. I have nothing against the PullRite, I have looked them over they are a quality US Made product. I think the B&W is a more simple solid design.

Just look at your above statement.

If that don't make up your mind nothing will.

I do really like my superglide but I am also open to something better if its out there. I believe these two are probably the best hitches out there so there is no risk with either. Anyway based on what I have read, the comments here and a $209 price difference I just ordered the B&W from Tweedy's. I will put my Superglide up for sale and hopefully not have to think about hitches for a long time. Thank you for your comments.

I put the B&W RVK 3600 in our new Ram 3500. Best hitch we've ever had. I have no experience with a Pullrite.

I had a Pullrite in my previous truck and it was great.
Have never read of any complaints from owners of either. So I don't think you can go wrong either way. Sort of like which truck do you like the best.
