Will the Gen-Y Hitch 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box Allow for 90 Degree Turns with 6.5 Foot Bed
Question:
Hello and hope you are well! I have a 2016 Ram Larmie Longhorn 3500 single rear wheel with 6.5ft bed. It has a factory installed goose ball puck system. I want to use the Gen Y 3.5K Executive hitch to pull a 2018 3791RD Montana camper. Will I have clearance to turn the camper 90 degrees? Thank you,

The Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box part # GY36FR is really not much different than a standard fixed pin box in regards to turning clearance. The actual distance from the center of the coupler to the first set of holes on this pin box is 16.1". It really comes down to your truck and trailer combo for turning clearance but it is likely you will have some restrictions with this setup which is pretty much unavoidable with the short bed trucks unless you were to use a sliding fifth wheel hitch.
