Parts Needed For Towing a 5TH Wheel Trailer With a Flat Bed On a 2012 Dodge Ram 5500

Question:

I’ve copy and pasted this from a feed on the website. I need this very thing!! I have a 5th wheel I’d like to tow and have no hitch on the truck I’ve bought. I live in Salt Lake City. Needing some help. Howdy I have a 2012 dodge ram 5500 with a 12 foot bed that I desperately need a gooseneck set up for. Can you accommodate?

Luckily, I was the same Expert who helped to answer this previous question. The B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Flatbed Trucks # BWGNRK1500 is designed to be able to be welded into most flatbeds. You will need to either consult your bed manufacturer or a local fabrication shop to ensure the bed is going to be strong enough for this on your truck.

Then you will be able to use the B&W Companion Flatbed Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BWRVK3050 which is designed for the taller bed height of a flatbed and has a fixed height of 10-1/2". You can use this to verify your 5th wheel will sit level on your particular truck.
