Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch that Attaches to a Gooseneck Ball

Question:

I have a 1999 f350 drw 4x4 and a 30k draw tight gooseneck removable ball. Will this 5th wheel hitch fit my set up? Not a recessed ball .

No it won't but I have a comparable option. The B&W Companion item # BWRVK3500 requires a square gooseneck ball receiver so it won't work with a Draw-Tite set up. Instead you are going to want the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter item # DM8550045.

The Demco Recon attaches to your gooseneck ball and has a 21,000 lbs capacity. This hitch has a 360-degree jaw that provides complete jaw to kingpin contact. This system minimizes the chucking, jarring and noise that can occur when towing a fifth wheel trailer.

To make towing with a 5th wheel easier I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector item # C56000. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed of your truck and allows you to keep the one on your bumper. This makes hooking up to your 5th wheel trailer easier and more convenient.
