Will Reese GooseBox Work On 2022 Ram 2500 6-1/2 Foot Bed with OEM Prep Package
Question:
I have a reese goosebox on an RV trailer that I towed previously with a longbed Silverado without issue. I recently sold that truck and now have a 2022 Ram shorbed with the factory prep puck system installed. Is there a way to either extend the gooseball on the ram or Reese gooseneck on the trailer to give me turning clearance? If not, I was thinking about installing a Reese sidewinder on the trailer. If I did that, I would need a hitch that is both compatible with the sidewinder and can use the puck system in the Ram bed. Do you know of such a hitch? Thanks in advance,

Expert Reply:
I do have an option for you but the Reese GooseBox is not designed for short bed trucks and there is no offset ball or adapter for a 2022 Ram 2500 6-1/2 Foot Bed with OEM Prep Package. Therefore, your best option is to replace the Reese GooseBox with the Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin part # RP34FR (Lippert 1621) and then use the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package part # BWRVK3600 with the Sidewinder Wedge Kit part # RP74FR.
