With where the mounting holes are on the Gen-Y Pegasus Shock Absorbing Gooseneck Coupler # 325-GH-7007 you would not be able to mount it backwards on your gooseneck trailer. The holes don't directly line up in the center with this round tube style coupler. This would also not be the intended design of the manufacturer and could put too much stress on the frame, leaving you with damage to you trailer and no warranty to fall back on.

There is not a stated life expectancy for the polyurethane cushioning on the Convert-A-Ball Multi-Cushioned Gooseneck Trailer Coupler # CG. Like most things, the lifetime of the coupler will last depending on a number of factors such as how and how often it is used. It does have a 2-year limited warranty should there be any issue in that amount of time, though no direct replacement cushioning is available separately. view full answer...
Nope; a cushioned gooseneck ball has the same instability properties as a cushioned pin box and should not be used with the Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter # AM3100.
Using this adapter will require a standard gooseneck hitch ball. view full answer...
You will need to get the pin separate for the Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter # KPG5-R25-IP.
The correct part is the Replacement Load Bearing Pin for Ram Gooseneck Couplers # GCPN-PIN. view full answer...
The Bulldog # BDGN240200 is perfect for this application, as it's self latching. Lower the coupler onto the gooseneck ball and the coupler will self latch once it hits bottom on the ball. To un-latch and hold the coupler open, I'd recommend using a bungee cord like # 348509, put one hook in the hole on the latch handle and the other hook to a tie-down in the bed or a stake pocket. view full answer...
Since you have a short bed truck, you may want to use the B&W Companion Slider hitch # BWRVK3400. This fifth-wheel trailer hitch, which also adapts your Turnoverball gooseneck hitch, incorporates a slider that gives you an extra 12" of fore/aft movement to ensure proper cab clearance when executing turns.
I have included a view review of this fifth wheel hitch for you to check out.

The highest rated Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter we offer is 30,000 lbs, part # KPG5-Q30. It doesn't make much sense to go any higher as the highest capacity fifth wheel hitch we currently offer is also around 30,000 lbs, like the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C22ER. view full answer...
I am not sure exactly what you mean by "cushion gooseneck hitch", but if you are referring to one of the Shocker Hitch Air Cushioned Gooseneck Couplers like the # SHK67MR, then yes you can absolutely use it with the OEM gooseneck ball in your F350. The Shocker Hitch Coupler will work with any 2-5/16 gooseneck ball. It will fit a gooseneck trailer with a 4" ID tube which is fairly standard.

I called my contact at B&W about the Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler, part # BWTEXA4200.
They told me that the offset holes are so that the adapter can accommodate couplers that have the pin in different locations, and will not affect the towing of your trailer. I have attached a link to a product review video you can check out. view full answer...
The # CAB-C5G Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter can easily be locked by using a padlock like part # ML4140LH.
.
You'd pass the shackle of the lock through the locking handle slot and out the hole in the foot of the coupler. This prevents the coupler from being opened, so it can be used while the trailer is hitched or when it's not. Either way, the lock will help deter theft by making it difficult to unlock the coupler. view full answer...
The B&W 2-5/16" Hitch Ball w/ 2" Rise - 1-1/2" Diameter x 2-3/4" Long Shank - Raw - 30K # BWHB94006 is typically used with a standard 2 5/16 coupler, like the Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler # 12660-97SP for example. However, it can also be used to pull a 5th wheel camper that has been converted to connect to a gooseneck ball with something like the Reese Goose Box # RP85FR.
With that being said, the # BWHB94006 should not just be attached to the bed of a standard 2005 Ford F-150... view full answer...
I confirmed with Gen-Y Hitch that the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box - Lippert Rhino - 24K GTW - 4.5K TW # GY33GR has an auto-latch coupler. I've added an update to the page to have this listed correctly. If you scroll down to the end of the product description you can see the manufacturer's part number, and part numbers with "AL" in them will feature an auto-latch coupler. view full answer...

Yes, the 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter Mounting Plate # MR37ZR can be powder coated before you install it on your MORryde pin box. It is left as bare steel in the event you weld it to your adapter. If you choose to weld it to either of the Ranch Hitch Adapters # AM3100 or # AM3139 you will want to have the coating on the plate connecting to the pin box stripped so that it can all be powder coated together. view full answer...
Thanks for the purchase! And the answer to your question is yes, since it has a 10 inch offset, you will need longer safety chains with the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler # BWTEXA4200.
I can't give you an exact length, but an additional 10 inches from what you have now in order to accommodate the offset is what you will want to look for. The longest we have which may work depending on your current chain length is the 42 inch Fulton Safety Chain with 1/2" Clevis Hook # FCHA0070324.

Yes, the Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter part # RP85FR is the 3rd generation which has an improved airbag design that does not require there to be any pressure in the system to operate, a new schrader valve design to prevent leaks, and a sleeker look overall. The locking cable also has a bit more tension than the previous version which are all complaints they had of the original and were then addressed with the new model. view full answer...
The B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler # BWTEXA4200 should not be drilled into. The coupler sleeve is required to either have 2 set bolts or 1 set bolt if you have a safety through pin to secure it in place on your tube sleeve.
A Master Lock Laminated Steel Padlock # ML1KA can be used to secure the coupler when attached to your tow vehicle. And if you choose to have multiple locks keyed alike you can use them all to secure any locks on trailer as well to have a one key system of locks. view full answer...
We can tell you exactly how to determine which Reese Goose Box is correct for your trailer, though we don't have any way of knowing which pin box you currently have. All you need is know what pin box you currently have, and to find that simply take a look at your current pin box, and the model number should be on a sticker or a plate somewhere on the pin box itself.
Once you know that you can choose the correct Reese Goose Box from the following options.

If you have the factory gooseneck prep package on your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 there isn't an offset ball that will work, though I can tell you how to determine if a Reese Goose Box will give you enough clearance to make a 90 degree turn with your truck.
You will use this formula: (A + B) - C = Clearance
A = Distance from center of gooseneck ball to truck cab
B = Length of offset (this will be zero for the Goose Box and no offset ball)
C = Width of trailer divided by 2
You want the "Clearance"... view full answer...
