Andersen AM3200 Dimensions

This fifth-wheel hitch system includes a lightweight frame that installs on industry-standard rails just like a regular fifth-wheel hitch. The frame holds a ball above your pickup bed at the proper height to connect to your fifth-wheel trailer. Because the ball is held above the bed of your truck, this adapter avoids the stress and chucking that longer, conventional fifth-wheel adapters create. And the included coupler adapter installs in a snap, converting your trailer's king pin to a gooseneck ball coupler.


The frame with ball weighs only 40 pounds and replaces the standard, heavy, cast iron skid plate and locking jaws of a typical fifth-wheel hitch. This system is light enough for just one person to easily install and remove. You'll always be able to take out the frame when you want full use of your pickup truck bed.


The king pin adapter includes a remote release that you operate with a cable, so you can latch the coupler to the ball without climbing into the back of your truck. Made of powder-coated steel, the adapter is resistant to rust and corrosion.


And because a ball-and-coupler connection has more swivel than a standard fifth-wheel hitch, you'll be able to more easily hook up your trailer on uneven ground.

  • Options for Towing A Fifth Wheel With A 2022 F-350 Short Bed With OEM Puck System
    With a 2022 F350 short bed, hitting the top of the bed rails should not be an issue with most campers. Turning clearance however, will certainly be a factor. That is one advantage of the Andersen Ultimate hitch # AM3200, as it provides a 9" offset. It is also very light (40 lbs) and will by far be the easiest to manage by yourself. Any other hitch is going to be at least quadruple that. For example, for your truck we would generally recommend a B&W companion hitch # BWRVK3370. Extremely...

  • Base Rail Kit for 5th Wheel Hitch on 2018 Ford F-250 with Aluminum Bed
    The B&W Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10 Bolt # BWRVR3200 will fit your 2018 Ford F-250 with aluminum bed but B&W doesn't recommend it. You will want to use some sort of spacers/isolators that help prevent galvanic corrosion due to the dissimilar metals. My recommendation is to use the B&W Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit for Ford # BWRVK2402 which will give you brackets that require no drilling into your frame and also comes with the galvanic...

  • Best Fifth Wheel Hitch for Towing a Grand Design Reflection 295RL With 2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty
    If have a great 5th wheel option that will work for you, however, the Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter # AM3200 can only be used with fixed pin boxes. The design of the Anderson Ultimate Hitches would create two pivoting points when used with the turning point pin box. You only want one pivot point when towing. As a result your best option is using a fixed 5th wheel hitch. One of our lightest and best 5th wheel hitches we have is the Demco Recon...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Rails and Brackets for a 2025 Chevy Silverado 2500
    Hey Jenna, welcome back! To add a set of 5th wheel rails to your 2025 Chevy Silverado 2500, I recommend the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails item # BWRVK2505. This set of rails are industry standard and are definitely compatible with Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitches like item # AM3200. The brackets included with the B&W item # BWRVK2505 are custom fit and install in pre-existing holes in your Silverado's frame. They fit the both the 6-3/4' and 8' bed lengths and include all...

  • Will Andersen Ultimate Allow a 90 Degree Turn When Towing with a 2017 Ram 2500 6-1/2 Bed
    The Andersen Ultimate Connection # AM3200 has a 9" offset. I am not sure if it will allow you to make 90 degree turns with your 2017 Ram 2500 6-1/2' bed but this can simply be determined by measuring from the back of your cab to the middle of the space in-between your base rails (or the pucks). Once you know that simply add 9" for the offset and the subtract half of the width of your trailer. The formula looks likes this: (A + B) - C = Clearance A = Distance from center of fifth wheel...

  • Parts Needed To Use Andersen Ultimate Connection AM3200 in 2016 Nissan Titan XD
    The Andersen Ultimate Connection, part # AM3200 connects to the 2016 Nissan Titan XD with industry standard fifth wheel rails. In order to put industry standard rails in the Titan XD an adapter is required. If your 2016 Nissan Titan XD has a OEM integrated gooseneck then you need Demco 5th wheel rail adapter part # DM6200. The adapter drops into the puck system, locks into place and gives you 5th wheel rails in the bed to use the Andersen. If your 2016 Nissan Titan XD does not have an...

  • Can The Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Be Used To Tow A Gooseneck Trailer
    Hey Keith, The Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System # AM3200 can technically be used to connect to a gooseneck trailer, but the ball would sit much higher than normal because it's designed to make up the difference in height that a 5th wheel hitch would cover. If you have base rails the better option would be the Curt Spyder Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails # 16085. This would mount into the base rails and give you a gooseneck ball attachment point.

  • How to Remove and Replace and Old Latch Cable on the Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch?
    In order to remove the old broken remote latch on your Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Hitch # AM3200, you'll just need to loosen the nuts around the black handle to release some pressure. From here the round part connected at the funnel / converter box can be backed off. Now you can unscrew the inner bolt and remove the old latch cable, and when you go to re-install the new cable, simply repeat the removal process in reverse.

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2016 GMC Sierra 2500
    You'd want to go with a custom install fifth wheel rail kit for your 2016 GMC Sierra 2500 like the # RP50066-58 which has been confirmed as a fit. The custom kits will minimize drilling and install time when compared to universal kits so they are the way to go. This would work well with the Andersen Ultimate Connection part # AM3200 that you mentioned too.

  • Which Way Should the Kingpin Coupler Block Face on the Andersen Ultimate Part # AM3200
    The orientation of the kingpin coupler block that comes with the Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter part # AM3200 will depend on which pin box you have on your trailer. If you have an extended pin box then you will need to place the kingpin coupler block so that the opening is towards the trailer but if you have a short pin box then the you will need to place the kingpin coupler block so that the opening is towards the vehicle. If you have a medium...

  • Red Funnel on Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Hitch Broke Off
    I reached out to my contact at Andersen and he did say that the red funnel piece on your Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Hitch # AM3200 is strictly for guidance purpose to ease the hookup process. It has no effect whatsoever as to the actual connection once the hitch ball is in place so you can absolutely still tow without issue even with that funnel broken off. There is no safety concern if you choose to do this without replacing the funnel. With all of that in mind, this type of damage...

If you have a Curt gooseneck hitch installed, then you'll actually need to go with the Andersen Ultimate Connection # AN67VR which secures to your truck bed via the gooseneck hitch ball. If by gooseneck puck system you mean the OEM pucks for your 2018 Ram 3500, then you can either use the one I mentioned above, or you'll need the Adapter Rails # C29BR in order to use the Anderson Ultimate # AM3200.

  • Maintenance Schedule for Lippert Turning Point Pin Box
    I checked the Lippert Turning Point manual and below attached the maintenance recommendations. No mention of needing to lube the hitch plate is listed so you really don't need to lube that area. If you insisted on doing so a graphite lube like you mentioned would be ideal since it's a dry lubricant that won't attract dirt. Maintenance 1. Check all fasteners every 500 miles to ensure connections have not loosened. 2. Periodically check the torque values of all bolts, including 200 ft-lbs...

  • Where to Position Hitch Ball on the Anderson Ultimate Adapter for a Truck With 8 ft Bed
    You will want to position the Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter # AM3200 so that the hitch ball is over or slightly in front of (towards the cab) the rear axle on your truck. Since you have an 8 foot bed cab clearance should not be an issue so installing it to where the hitch ball is closer to the cab, but just to ensure that your trailer has the proper clearance with the back of your bed the 9" offset should be towards the tailgate.

  • Will an Anderson Hitch Work w/ a 2023 Ram 3500 w/ Ramboxes to Pull a 5th Wheel Trailer?
    Yes, there will. Unless your Anderson hitch can get the connection above your bedsides you need a rotating pin box like the Reese Sidewinder item # RP34FR to avoid your Ramboxes. The rotating pin box moves the turning point of your 5th wheel trailer above your Ram's narrow bedsides to give you a full 90 degree turning radius. You would need to use a standard 5th wheel hitch instead. The Reese Sidewinder item # RP34FR fits quite a few different pin boxes but I would need to see the sticker...

    The part number you need for a replacement hitch ball for your Andersen Ultimate Connection part # AM3200 is the part # AM3201. There are no greaseless balls that are designed as replacement balls for this product, but the # AM3201 is made of aluminum so it won't corrode.

  • Can The Andersen Ultimate Connection Be Flipped To Face The Cab?
    Hey Darrell, Yes, you can turn the Andersen Ultimate # AM3200 towards the cab to put that pin weight over more of the rear axle like you are describing. Doing that is going to create a smoother ride and better support. So yes, you can turn it the other way towards the cab. It may be good to have it towards the tailgate if you were to be making a sharp turn just for cab clearance. What kind of trailer are you going to be towing?

  • Tallest 5th Wheel Hitch Available for a 2017 Ram 2500 Tradesman
    I will have to admit this is the first time I have ever heard of a time where there was such a limited clearance measurement between the top of the bed side and bottom of the pin box. I do have an option for you but I don't think there is a way to get you to the recommended 6" of clearance between the top of the bed side and bottom of the pin box. The reason for this has to do with both a combination of tall bed sides on your Ram and the length of the pin box on your Chaparral. The tallest...
