Expert Reply:
B and W makes their Companion hitches which were designed to fit directly to their gooseneck hitches like the # BWGNRK1314 you have installed in your truck. If you have a long bed truck you'd want the # BWRVK3400 or if you have a short bed truck and would need the additional clearance to make tight turns. If you have a long bed truck you'd instead want the fixed version of this hitch part # BWRVK3500.
