B&W has provided a solution to allow Companion 5th wheel hitches to fit all 2013 Dodge Ram 3500 models without an OEM prep package. The solution requires an additional part to be ordered when doing the install.

This additional part attaches to the legs of the Companion and fills in the recess in the corrugations of the 2013 Ram 3500 trucks. Some of the 2013 Ram 2500 trucks also have this recess and will require the additional spacers. The product is available free of charge only with the purchase of Turnover Ball and Companion 5th wheel.  Please contact our team for more information on this part such as how to order.

I have an existing King Pin on my trailer and want to use the B&W Turnover Ball on my Dodge Ram 3500 - How can I do this?

If you have an existing king pin on your trailer there are a couple of solutions. We offer a 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter that will attach onto your existing king pin box and couple onto the gooseneck ball in the back of their truck. This option is best if you want to go back to a 5th wheel set up in the future. Another option is you can permanently change your pin box to a gooseneck style hitch. We offer the Reese goosebox as a full pin box replacement*. Use this option if you want to fully convert to gooseneck style hitches.

*Please call in for pricing and availability

The new 2013 Ram 3500 has a factory 5th wheel / Gooseneck prep kit available. Do you carry the RV 5th wheel hitch or Goosneck to fit in to it?

The only system currently available is the GNRK1314 Gooseneck system. This will not work with the B&W Turnover Ball System BW3000.

I received my class 1 trailer hitch with an indentation inside the receiver, is this normal?

Yes, this lance found inside the receiver is typical on class I hitches and is not a defect. This lance goes back years ago and it was used to prevent certain products with higher load capacity or higher rated Class II ballmounts from being used. A product to consider to be used with a Class I hitch would have a distance of no more than 1 11/16” from center of pin hole to end of shank.
