Since your 2014 Dodge Ram 3500 with an 8 foot bed does not have the factory underbed hitch prep package you will want the B and W Gooseneck Hitch part # BWGNRK1314. This hitch has a gross towing weight of 30,000 lbs and vertical load limit of 7,500 lbs. You can store the removable ball upside down in the hitch when you aren't towing to get complete bed access.

I have included an install video at right.

The one really big downside to gooseneck towing is that there isn't a great solution for short bed truck clearance unlike fifth wheel towing. With fifth wheel hitches you can use a slider hitch and have the clearance issue handled. With gooseneck…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

The OEM prep package consists of 4 "pucks" in the bed of the truck that will allow you to drop in puck style hitches for easy installation and removal, that gives you a completely clear bed when not in use. The B&W Companion OEM 5th…

Answer 6

Choosing the right height setting for your 5th wheel hitch is a combination of a few different variables. First of all you want your towing setup to be as level as possible. With your Montana High Country 340BH level you will want to measure from the…

Hey Mark, from previous customers we have determined that the your 2009 Coachmen Chapparal M-278 has a Lippert 1621 pin box so the Gen-Y Gooseneck adapter part #GY58GR would fit and work great on it. This will give you a cushioned gooseneck adapter.…

Great question, Jeff! When the Rota-Flex first came out it renovated what a pin box could do and be, but at this point in time that technology is a little more dated and the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel Pin Box #325-GH-8040 is the "new…

Lance does have a proprietary plug, but many customers see a standard 6-way or 7-way round and notice it doesn't fit their factory 7-way as well. I've attached an article to help if you have one of the 7-way or 6-way round connectors which we…

Thanks for the pictures and information! I just heard back from my contact at Lippert and your 2024 Keystone Cougar has a 1621 pinbox. You will need the Gen-Y Hitch 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box item #GY58GR you were looking at. You will also need…

Answer 11

Gen-Y's calculation for pin weight is a safe guess, but isn't the most accurate so the only way you'll get the correct capacity Gen-Y 5th Wheel Pin Box is to fully load the trailer and go to a commercial scale to measure the pin weight.…

Answer 12

The Gen-Y Hitch 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box part #GY58GR is primarily designed for long bed trucks. It's no different than a standard fifth wheel pin box in regards to the size. If you were using a fixed hitch and standard pin box before with…
