    2017 Dodge Ram 3500 Mega Cab short bed, B & W turnoverball gooseneck hitch

    Does anyone have any insight as to whether the B & W turnover gooseneck hitch will fit the 2017 3500 with the factory air suspension? I heard there were not any major changes to the 2017 3500's. But I can't get the e trailer place to tell me one way or the other. I've actually sent an e-mail to B & W asking for their help. And I thought I was ready to pull the plug and be done about the hitch issue. Looks like I'll be waiting a little longer. I'd like to get around having rails in the bed if I can.

    No changes over previous years. You're good to go.

    I also just received an e-mail from B & W saying the same thing so looks like I'm fixing to order a turnover ball gooseneck hitch and a Companion Slider. And see what gets here first...the truck or the hitch.

    Have you received tried the hitch yet? We just bought a 2016 Ram 3500 Mega Cab 4x4 DRW and I am still trying to decide on a hitch. Right now I am comparing the Demco Highjacker and the Pullrite Superglide. We have the factory "puck" system so can go with the Fifth wheel frame or the Companion over the gooseneck.

    I've got the hitch installed. Installing it wasn't bad. I had a friend to help. It is heavy. I think total weight is close to 300 lbs. I haven't had time to hook up to the trailer. The truck has been at the dealer for about 5 weeks waiting on a ring and pinion and they're telling me the ETA on them is now Nov. 21. I drove the truck for 5 days and have 485 miles on it.
