Available 5th Wheel Adapters with Offset

Question:

I have a short base PU crew cab with 5th wheel hook up in the bed. I need a 12 inch offset. I have the rest of the hookup. Where can I get the 12 in offset?

We do offer adapters that allow a gooseneck trailer to be towed by a truck with a 5th wheel hitch. Some of these offer a bit of offset for better trailer-to-cab clearance.

Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails # 16055 fits into industry-standard 5th wheel rails (ISRs) and provide 3-inches of offset. Husky # HT31368 has the same 3-inch offset. None offers 12-inches of offset.

If you need another type of adapter you can use the linked page to select the category of adapter required. Others like the Andersen Ultimate Connection # AM3200 provides 9-inches of offset and allows towing a gooseneck trailer with 5th wheel base rails.
