Recommended 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Converter for a 2009 GMC 2500HD Short Bed Truck

Question:

We have a 2009 GMC 2500HD truck with a 6 bed that has a 2-5/16 ball mount in the bed of his truck that he uses for his 5th wheel hitch. He is looking for a gooseneck adapter for that ball mount. What might you suggest? Thanks...

I recommend using the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5GX1216 because it's one of our most trusted adapters and it has a 7-1/2" offset to help give you more turning clearance with your short bed setup.

There are a few stipulations when it comes to making sure any adapter like this is used safely so I'm linking a photo of some situations where you want to avoid using this adapter (this is the same for other adapters like this as well, not just this specific one).

If you fall into any of these categories please let me know and I'll help you find another solution!
