OE Puck System

Expert Take

This 16K KW puck-mount kit for Ram HD is the budget-friendly pick for lighter trailers, levering in and out of the factory bed without rails. Quality is honest mid-pack and the price is right; ride is just average since there's no cushioning in the head.

About This Product

The Husky 16K KW Series is a rail-mount hitch that works independent of truck-specific puck systems. Sixteen thousand pounds of capacity with a straightforward design. If your truck does not have factory pucks or you want mounting flexibility, rail systems are the alternative.

Rails mount to your truck bed first, then the hitch attaches to the rails. More installation steps than puck mounts, but the rails become a permanent platform for any rail-compatible hitch. Upgrade later without changing the mounting.

Simple jaw design grips the kingpin securely. Height adjustable. No-frills construction focused on reliability over features.

Husky keeps it basic and affordable. Good choice when you want dependable towing without paying for premium bells and whistles.

Works with most full-size truck beds that accept rail mounting. Check specific requirements for your truck before ordering.

9.0 /10 Stupid Simple Score

This is the benchmark 25K puck-mount Companion that every other fifth wheel gets measured against. It drops into factory pucks, pops out with a lever when you want your bed back, and tows dead quiet thanks to the cushioned, fully-articulating head.

24K SuperGlide

8.8 /10 Stupid Simple Score

The 24K SuperGlide is the gold standard for short-bed trucks, automatically sliding the hitch back when you turn so the trailer clears the cab without you touching a thing. It drops into factory pucks and tows incredibly smooth; the auto-slide mechanism is the trade you make on a slightly fussier install.

8.5 /10 Stupid Simple Score

A 20K sliding Companion aimed at short-bed owners who need extra turning clearance between cab and trailer. The slider adds a step at install and a manual move before sharp turns, but the head still tows cushioned and quiet.
