Could Demco Recon Gooseneck to Fifth Wheel Adapter # DM8550045 Fit in 2014 Ram 2500 Short Bed
Question:
Hello. I got some questions on Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Single Jaw - 21,000 lbs - DM8550045. I am trying to see if it will fit my 2014 Ram short box 2500 truck that currently has a goose neck ball in it.

Expert Reply:
The Demco Recon Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Adapter part # DM8550045 will attach to the gooseneck ball in the bed of your 2014 Ram 2500 but where it might be an issue is if you'd have enough turning clearance so that the nose of your trailer doesn't hit the cab of your truck. Most of the time short bed trucks like yours require a slider hitch to provide the needed clearance but if your trailer has a tapered nose designed for turning clearance you may not need it.
Let me know what trailer you have and I can see if I think you'd have the clearance or not.
