Blue Ox 5th Wheel Gooseneck Adapter - BLU52XR

  • Quick Hookup with Funnel-Shaped Head: Guides the king pin for easy alignment and helps prevent false hookups or trailer drops.
  • Smooth Ride on Uneven Roads: Dual-pivot head moves front-to-back and side-to-side to absorb bumps and reduce towing strain.
  • Adjusts to Match Trailer Height: Three height settings from 17" to 19" help level your trailer for stable towing.
  • Lightweight, Easy to Remove: At 122 lbs and featuring a 2-piece design, it’s simple to lift out when you want a clear truck bed.

Features to know about

Convert Your Gooseneck to a 5th Wheel: Funnel-Shaped Head Guides the King Pin

When you want to tow a fifth wheel but already have a gooseneck hitch, this adapter makes the switch simple. It drops right onto a standard 2-5/16" gooseneck ball and gives you a true 360-degree nesting fit for the king pin. The funnel-shaped hitch head helps guide the king pin into place, cutting down on false hookups and making it easier to line up safely every time.

Smooth Towing and Stability: Dual-Pivot Head Handles the Road

The dual-articulating head pivots both front-to-back and side-to-side, so the trailer moves naturally with the truck over uneven ground. Combined with the wide-stance, one-piece offset legs, the setup feels stable and steady even when the road isn’t. It’s made from black powder-coated steel for strong, corrosion-resistant performance you can rely on trip after trip.

Fits Right with Your Trailer: Adjustable 17"–19" Hitch Height

Getting the right height match between your truck and trailer is key for a level, safe connection. This adapter offers 3" of vertical adjustment—17", 18", or 19"—so you can dial in the setup that keeps your trailer towing evenly. The head height adjusts easily with four bolts, two per side, for a secure and tailored fit.

Easy to Handle: Lightweight 122-lb Two-Piece Design

Even though it’s built tough with a 21,000-lb gross towing weight and 5,000-lb vertical load limit, the 122-lb adapter is lighter than many traditional fifth wheel hitches. The two-piece build makes it manageable to install or remove on your own, letting you clear out your bed quickly when you’re not towing.

Built for Dependability: Full Bed Contact and Simple Maintenance

The base is designed to make full contact with the truck bed for secure support—no raised or over-bed balls. It’s built to work cleanly with cushioned or air-ride pin boxes and includes a lube plate to keep things moving smoothly. With a 3-year limited warranty, it’s a solid option for anyone looking to connect a fifth wheel to their gooseneck setup without adding complexity.

I really like this set-up. It pulls well and I know Im always 100 secure when the kingpin s into hitch. It did take a while to get use to backing up to it, but after a few times Ive gotten much better.

@DanO Glad to hear it, Dan! What trailer do you have?


by:

Hard to hook up you have to be right over the hitch hole with the trailer pin or it wont drop in



by:

Awesome! Easiest 5th wheel load and un load.



by:

The Blue Ox hitch adapter for 5th wheel worked great. Easy to install and hitching the camper was breeze. Smooth ride on the initial pull. I would definitely recommend this item.



by:

Hitch rides nice and smooth, love the way it connects and no chucking. Only issue is had was a lock nut was missing in the package and I would change out the square head locking bolt for a more common size. Not everyone has a 19mm 12point socket.
