B&W Hitches RVK3600 Companion 5th Wheel Hitch for RAM OEM Puck System

The B&W RVK3600 is the Companion fifth wheel hitch built to drop straight into the factory puck system on Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. It locks into the four factory mounting points with no rails and no drilling, carries 25,000 lb gross trailer weight and 6,250 lb pin weight, and comes out of the bed when you need the space back.

Ram's puck system already put the mounting points in the frame, so the right hitch should use them and nothing else. The Companion base sits in the four pucks and locks down with a handle and pin, so it goes in and out without tools once it has been set up. The kit pairs B&W's RVB3600 Ram puck base with the RVC3006 Companion coupler, the same head B&W uses on its other Companion hitches.

The head uses a cam action latch with wrap around cast locking jaws about an inch thick, which grip the kingpin all the way around instead of at two points. The head fully articulates on polyurethane bushings, so it rides through uneven ground and driveway transitions without binding and with less chuck and bang than a rigid hitch. Height adjusts to 17, 18 or 19 inches to level the trailer, and the pivot arm can be set 2 or 4 inches forward or back of the axle to fine tune where the pin sits.

Short bed trucks

The RVK3600 is not a slider. Plenty of Ram owners with the 6 foot 4 inch bed run a Companion, but whether the trailer's nose clears the cab in a tight turn depends on the trailer's front cap and pin box. Measure the distance from the kingpin to the front corner of the trailer and compare it to the cab clearance before you buy, or ask us and we will help you check it.

Common questions

Do I need rails or a mounting kit? No. The RVK3600 mounts directly into the factory Ram puck system, and the bed stays flat when the hitch is removed.

Will it fit a Ram 1500? No. This kit is built for the heavy duty Ram 2500 and 3500 puck system.
