• Recommended Offset Gooseneck Hitch Ball For A 2023 Ram 2500
• Hi Clifford, There are offset gooseneck hitch ball options for your 2023 Ram 2500, but we'll need to know what kind of hitch you have (B&W Turnoverball, Curt or Reese gooseneck, OEM puck system).

Reese Gooseneck Hitch: 5" Offset Ball for Hide-A-Goose Gooseneck Trailer Hitches # 19308. Curt Gooseneck Hitch: Curt 4" Offset Ball...

• Recommended Gooseneck Hitch Adapter For A 2011 Dodge Ram 3500 With Reese Elite Underbed Puck System
• Hey John, It sounds like you have a Reese Elite underbed mounting system in your Ram. There unfortunately is not a way to add in a gooseneck hitch without removing the Reese Elite and then you'd be without pucks to mount a 5th wheel hitch. There also isn't a different model with the gooseneck hitch that's compatible with your Ram. You'd be better off keeping the Reese Elite and just using the Reese Elite Series Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # RP30845 whenever you need to tow a gooseneck...

• Recommended Universal Gooseneck Coupler Lock
• Rick the AMPLock Trailer Coupler Lock for Bulldog Gooseneck Couplers # AMP69FR is only going to work with Bulldog couplers so for a more universal design I recommend going with the Gen-Y Auto Latch Gooseneck Coupler Lock # 325-GH-7111 which will work with any gooseneck hitch on the market.

• Gooseneck Hitch Fit For 2020 Ram 1500 Short Bed
• Hi Hubie, I checked with all of our manufacturers, and just one makes a gooseneck hitch that fits your 2020 Ram 1500 short bed, which is the B&W hitch: - B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1319 This is the hitch and mounting hardware, and while it is not a folding ball it does store upside down when you aren't towing so you have a clear truck bed. This is also the single best gooseneck hitch you can get, in large part due to the square base of the ball (which is...

• How to Tell if 2017 Chevy Silverado 3500 Has OEM Puck Package for B&W Turnoverball Installation
• The OEM prep package for your 2017 Chevy Silverado 3500 will have 5 holes (4 in a rectangular pattern with 1 in the middle) that you would secure a gooseneck hitch ball like the B&W Kit # BWGNXA2061 to (see attached example). Since you're looking at the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer # BWGNRK1016 it doesn't sound like you have the prep package. If you're looking to do some 5th wheel towing with the B&W gooseneck kit then I recommend picking up the B&W Companion # BWRVK3500...

• B&W Companion Hitch For A 2011 Ram 3500 Mega Cab With A B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch
• Hello Cody, I can definitely help with this. The B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch is what will work with your existing B&W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch. If your truck has a 6-1/2' bed, I do suggest using a slider hitch to gain clearance on turns. For that I recommend the B&W # BWRVK3400-5W which is rated for 20,000 lbs. For long bed trucks the slider is not needed, and you can use the fixed hitch # BWRVK3500-5W which is also 20K rated. Both of these hitches are designed to work with the...

• Recommended Offset Gooseneck Ball Kit for a 2024 Ram 3500
• Hey Eric, the Curt Multi-Fit Ball Kit w/ 4" Offset for Chevy/Ford/GMC/Nissan Underbed Gooseneck Hitch # C68ZV is not going to work with your Ram, unfortunately. This one is only going to work for select YMM (Year Make Model) Ford 250-450s, GMC Sierra 2500-3500s, Chevy Silverado 2500-3500s, and Nissan Titan XDs. You'd instead want to check out the Curt RockerBall Multi-Fit Ball Kit w/ 4" Offset for Chevy/Ford/GMC/Nissan Gooseneck Hitch # C78ZV which is going to be the same thing you're...

• How to Tow 5th Wheel with a MORryde You Turn Pin Box Using a Gooseneck Hitch Ball
• Hey Addam! According to my research the MORryde You Turn RSPB83-1622 your trailer is equipped with has a unique bolt pattern that isn't compatible with any aftermarket solutions so for your application I recommend locking out the pin box and using an alternative kind of adapter like the Demco Recon # DM8550045 or the Convert-A-Ball # CAB-C5GX1216. I personally like the Recon a lot because it's a bit more universal and you can easily tow different 5th wheel trailers with it, but the Convert-A-Ball...

• Recommended B&W Offset Ball for a 2017 Sierra 3500 Using a Gen-Y Gooseneck Pin Box
• No, the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box item # GY38FR is not going to do anything to help with turning clearance. I do have a solution though. Since your 2017 GMC Sierra 3500 has the B&W item # BWGNRK1016 you can use the 4" Offset Ball item # BWGNXA4085 to get some extra turning clearance.

• Will Firestone Air Springs Fit A 2020 Toyota Tundra With A B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch
• Hey Kevin, The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2445 are unfortunately not compatible with your B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1257 because it has a mounting bolt right where the spring would need to sit. In order to help support your suspension while towing you'll need to go with an upgrade that doesn't contact this bolt so I recommend the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS34FR. This system clamps onto the leaf springs to...

• What Size Ball and Torque Setting Can Be Used With the Curt CrossWing
• Tim, there is not a gooseneck ball height size recommended to use the Curt CrossWing Lightweight 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C92DR, so a 2 5/16" ball # BWGNXA2061 will work fine. Curt specifies that the only thing that needs to happen is that the 20mm carriage bolt must completely protrude through the 20mm flange nut and the 20mm jam nut, and the 14mm hex head cap screws must be allowed to make contact with the gooseneck coupler. If either of these things don't happen, it means that the...

• Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch For A 2022 Ford F-250 With A Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover
• Hello David. I can definitely help point you in the right direction. Does your 2022 F250 have the OEM 5th wheel prep package in the bed? Post in the comments below and let me know because that will be a major deciding factor in selecting a hitch. If you do have the OEM prep package, you will have a lot of options for a hitch that will fit in the 18" deep bed with a tri-fold tonneau on top. My recommendation is the B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch for Ford Super Duty Prep Package # BWRVK3300....

• Best Way To Change Out A 5th Wheel Hitch For A Gooseneck
• Hello Rene. The best way to do this will be to replace the pin box on your 5th wheel with a goosebox like the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box # GY66FR that you were looking at. That said, these Gen-Y gooseboxes are not universal, and I will need more information from you in order to make an accurate recommendation. First I will need to know the pin box number or size of your current pin box. For example, the Gen-Y # GY66FR will replace the Lippert 1621 and 1621...

• Gooseneck Ball Recommendation for 2021 Ford F-250 w OEM Pucks to Tow Horse Trailer
• Hey Steven, since you have a short bed 2021 Ford F-250 with the OEM prep package the gooseneck ball solution I would go with is the Gen-Y part # GY43XR which has 5 inches of offset built into it to help with turning clearance. The further back the ball the better the turning clearance will be especially if your horse trailer has living quarters. If instead the trailer is more like a stock trailer and has a very narrow nose then you wouldn't need the offset and instead I would recommend...

• Recommended 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box Replacement for a 2018 Grand Design Reflection 28BH

• Thanks for all of the info you listed from the RV's Rota Flex pin box. Based on that the pin box model style is the Lippert 1621 so for a Gen-Y gooseneck adapter the correct part number is the # 325-GH-8045.

• Are Gooseneck Trailer Couplers Swapped as a Way to Steal Trailer
• Hey Susan, so we don't have any locks designed to lock a gooseneck coupler's inner tube to the outer tube that is welded to the trailer chassis so the best option we have would be a wheel lock like the part # 288-02020 which will prevent the wheels from rolling which would be just as effective as a theft deterrant. I wouldn't say that coupler swapping is a common theft tactic at all so I wouldn't worry too much about that.

• What Gooseneck Adapter Do I Need For A MORryde Cushioned Pin Box?
• Hello Greg. I do have a potential solution for you, but the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G that you were looking at will not work for this purpose. Reason being that this kind of adapter is not compatible with a cushioned pin box. Your best option will be to replace your MORryde cushioned pin box with a goosebox like the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box # GY38FR. Keep in mind that these gooseboxes are not universal. If you can...

• Which Gen-Y Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter Fits 2022 Montana 3121RL
• Hey Robert, thanks for all of the info from your 2022 Montana 3121RL Legacy. With that we can verify that the pin box you have is the Lippert 1116 style which Gen-Y part # GY73FR you referenced is designed to fit in place of so this will fit and work great for you. I looked up your RV and it has a tapered nose that was designed to help with short bed turning clearance so I do not foresee you needing to use an offset ball if the truck you go with is a short bed. That said an offset ball...
