If you have a long bed truck the non-offset part # CAB-C5G would work well as an adapter. If the truck is a short bed using the offset # CAB-C5GX1216 helps give you a bit more clearance since it has adds an offset of 7-1/2 inches.
If the truck bed is shorter than 6 feet neither adapter is going to work well since you would need more clearance. Unless the nose of the trailer happens to be very narrow.
