Will the Ranch Hitch Offset 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter Work On Short Bed 2018 Ram 2500
Question:
I want to know about the Ranch gooseneck hitch with 8 offset. I have a 2018 Ram 2500 4x4 short bed. I currenty have changed 5th wheel camper. My andersen ultimTe hitch does not give me the clearance i need, broke my back window out. So will the Ranch Gooseneck with offset work?

Expert Reply:
In order to determine if the Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter part # AM3139 will allow for proper turning clearance you'll need to measure as each truck/trailer combo will yield different results. I have attached a formula below which should help.
(A + B) - C = Clearance
A = Distance from center of gooseneck hitch ball to truck cab
B = Length of pin box arm (with offset adapter) past trailer nose
C = Width of trailer divided by 2 (to get half)
