• Gooseneck to 5TH Wheel Hitch For a Flatbed Truck With Recessed Gooseneck Hitch
  With your flatbed having a recessed gooseneck ball you are going to want the Demco Recon # DM8550046. The top of the gooseneck ball must be 13/16" or closer to the top of the bed for this hitch. The Blue Ox # BLU52XR you found is only designed to work on trucks where the gooseneck ball sits above the bed.

• Recommended Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for the Ram Factory Puck System
  I have a solution for you but the Blue Ox Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter item # BLU52XR does not offer any offset and would not give you enough clearance to make turns with your 6-1/2' bed. Since you have the Ram prep package with the in bed pucks I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # BWRVK3670. The Companion Slider has a 20,000 lbs capacity and will give you 12" of travel for making tight turns and backing. I have linked a review video and a picture...

• Can Blue Ox Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter Be Used With Short Bed Truck?
  The Blue Ox Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BLU52XR can be used on the short bed version of the 2011 Ram 1500m but we don't typically recommend this since short bed trucks usually have issues with clearance between the truck cab and the front of the 5th wheel trailer when making tight turns. If you don't think that will be an issue then you're more than welcome to use it! Otherwise I recommend using an adapter with an offset like the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck...

• Comparing Blue Ox and B and W Companion Gooseneck to Fifth Wheel Adapters
  Hey Dan glad I could help! For a truck like yours that has a B and W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch installed in it you can't beat the B and W Companion hitch # BWRVK3500 so that is what I would go over the Blue Ox # BLU52XR. The reason being the Companion has been around long enough that we can confidently recommend it as one of, if not, the best fifth wheel hitches you can get. It's easy to use, super quiet, breaks down easy to install and remove, was designed specifically for your gooseneck...

• Correct Gooseneck Hitch Ball to Use Blue Ox 5th Wheel Hitch Adapter with 2022 Ford F-350 OEM Pucks
  You're correct that the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061 for your 2022 Ford F-350 Super Duty will sit too high to accommodate the Blue Ox Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BLU52XR. To use the Blue Ox hitch with the OEM puck package on your F-350 you'll want to use the Hitch Ball # RP19311 instead. One of the fears of using this hitch ball is the plastic release on the top but the good thing about the Blue Ox is it uses some bolts on the bottom like clamps that secure...

  Hello Alexander. The OEM Mount for Blue Ox Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BLU62CR will indeed fit the OEM prep package on your 2020 Ford F350. This will allow you to install the Blue Ox Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - 21,000 lbs # BLU52XR. Please note that this is for a standard 5th wheel pin box, not an inverted 5th wheel. Inverted 5th wheels are highly uncommon, and right now the only inverted 5th wheel adapter is the B&W Turnoverball King Pin Adapter for...

• Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch For 2014 Ram 3500 w/ Flat Bed and Gooseneck Hitch
  In my opinion the best 5th wheel hitch to go from your 2014 Ram 3500 Flat bed is the Demco Recon # DM8550045 if your gooseneck ball is flush with the bed, or the # DM8550046 if your gooseneck ball is recessed. I prefer this hitch over the other gooseneck hitch attaching options as this uses a standard 5th wheel hitch jaw design which is so much easier to hookup and disconnect than one such as the Blue Ox # BLU52XR.

• Does Blue Ox Gooseneck to Fifth Wheel Adapter # BLU52XR Provide Turning Clearance
  Whille the Blue Ox Fifth wheel hitch BXR2100 our part # BLU52XR was not designed to provide additional turning clearance I looked up your Grand Design 150 Series Model 260RD and since it has a tapered nose and an extended pin box you would be able to make tight turns with the setup you mentioned.

• Will 5th Wheel Base Rails Work On a Truck with Gooseneck Hitch Installed
  I do have an option for you but you cannot install fifth wheel base rails on a truck with a gooseneck hitch. The frame brackets for either will interfere will one another. The best option which would not require you to remove the gooseneck and still allow for gooseneck towing when needed would be a gooseneck to fifth wheel hitch for which I recommend the Blue Ox Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # BLU52XR. The Blue Ox will simply drop onto the hitch ball and then it allows...

• Will the Curt OEM Gooseneck Ball Work W/ the Blue Ox Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Adapter?
  I'm looking at your Curt Pop-In Ball for Factory Chevy/GM, Ford, and Nissan Underbed Gooseneck Hitches # C60629 and I'm not seeing any reason why you would not be able to use the Blue Ox Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BLU52XR. The Curt # C60629 is just a standard 2-5/16" gooseneck ball which is a non high-rise ball, so it's going to work just fine with the Blue Ox Gooseneck 5th wheel adapter. As far as use with your Pullrite I'm not quite sure what you're meaning, but...

• Will the Blue Ox Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter Work w/ Factory Puck Systems?
  Yes, the Blue Ox Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter item # BLU52XR will work with the gooseneck ball that comes with your Ford F-250's OEM puck system. However, it will not help with the clearance you will need to make tight turns and back up with your short bed truck. A way better option would be to use the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # BWRVK3370. The Companion has a 20,000 lbs capacity, will fit in your puck system, and gives you 12" of travel for backing...

• Is Blue Ox Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter Compatible with a Sidewinder Pin Box?
  If you use the Sidewinder in the locked-out position so it's like a standard pin box then you can use the Blue Ox Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BLU52XR, but if you're needing to use the rotating turret feature for increased turning clearance we need to look at another option as the Blue Ox will basically just spin on the gooseneck ball since that's the only connection point. To continue to use the turret I recommend checking out the Demco Recon # DM8550043 which is pretty...

• How to Tell if 2022 F-350 Will Have Enough Turning Clearance with Blue Ox Gooseneck Adapter Hitch
  Hey Brian, thanks for reaching out! Your 2024 KX Durango 301RLT 5th wheel has a tapered nose so that will help you with the clearance you're talking about. With that being said, you'll still need to be pretty cautious using the Blue Ox Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BLU52XR with your 2022 Ford F-350 having the shorter 6-1/2' bed. The only trucks I know of that has been able to maintain enough turning clearance with the short bed configuration are the GM trucks. To be able...

• Is The Andersen Ultimate Hitch 3220 Compatible With A Blue Ox Invert-A-Ball Gooseneck Hitch
  Hi Taylor, The Andersen Ultimate 3220 requires a 2-5/16" gooseneck hitch ball to mount to. I wasn't able to confirm what size hitch ball comes with the Blue Ox Invert-A-Ball gooseneck hitch so you'll just want to measure the diameter of your hitch ball to confirm fitment.

• Will The Blue Ox Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Adapter BLU52XR Work With Overbed Folding Gooseneck Ball?
  Hey Samuel, the Blue Ox Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BLU52XR is not compatible with the overbed style folding gooseneck balls. The overbed plate would prevent the base from making full contact with the bed of the truck. Blue Ox is very specific that the base must make full contact with the bed in order to use the adapter. An adapter that will be compatible with the overbed folding gooseneck ball is the Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter # AM3100....
