Hello Jeff, thanks for getting in touch. What I recommend for you is the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit # C16444. This is custom fit for your 2016 Ram 1500 and comes with everything you need to install your Reese 5th wheel rails. You get all of the brackets and hardware. The 5th wheel rails are universal so Reese rails are compatible with Curt brackets and vice versa.

Hey Randal, so it looks like the Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches #BWGNRK1313-5W that your neighbor had on his 2013 Dodge isn't going to also work with your 2018 Ram 3500. You'd instead need to…

I spoke with my contact at Trailair and from your serial number we were able to determine that your trailer came with a 1621 HD pin box which is a long pin box style. I was unable to obtain the exact part number for your Trailair pin box but from the…

Yes, the puck system used on the 2016-2019 Chevy/GMC trucks is different than the pucks used on the 2020 and newer trucks. So you would need a 5th wheel like the B&W Companion #BWRVK3710 for your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 with an 8' Bed. If you…
