Is There a 5th Wheel Hitch for Ram 3500 with Round Gooseneck Hole
Question:
I just bought a 2017 Ram 3500. It has the 5 point gooseneck system but has the round shank not square. Do you make the 5th wheel system for this?

Expert Reply:
Yes, we do offer fifth wheel hitch options for trucks with gooseneck hitches. The most universal of these options is the Demco Recon 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # DM8550045-5W which is what I recommend using. This assembly will attach to the gooseneck hitch ball and provide a connection for a fifth wheel trailer. It's pretty lightweight at around 150 lbs and the super secure locking jaw system will give you peace of mind and a smooth ride.
Please note, they do offer direct drop-in fifth wheel options for certain gooseneck hitches like the B&W Turnoverball but these are specific to the gooseneck and there are only very few hitches with this option so the above adapter is best for most applications.
