Demco 5th Wheel Gooseneck Adapter - DM54QJ

  • Gooseneck Hitch to 5th Wheel Trailer
  • Not Shock Absorbing
  • Connects to Gooseneck Ball
  • Demco
  • Adapts Truck
  • 20000 lbs
  • No Extra Clearance

You tow a 5th wheel but don't want a full hitch sitting in your truck bed taking up cargo space. This adapter breaks into three pieces and mounts to the included MOLLE panel, so it stays at the front of your truck bed and out of your garage.


Highlights

  • Break It Down for Removal: Three-piece design separates into smaller sections when not in use.
  • Get the Hitch Out of the Way: Folding base lowers the hitch when it is not in use so it's not sticking up in the bed.
  • Store It on the MOLLE Panel: Included MOLLE panel lets you secure the disassembled hitch at the front of your truck bed.
  • Keep the Connection Tight at the Kingpin: Wraparound jaw and locking bar fully surround the kingpin.
  • Reduce Binding at the Hitch: Head pivots front-to-back and side-to-side to stay aligned through turns and uneven ground.
  • Adjust Trailer Height at the Hitch: Three height settings help level the trailer to the truck.
Made in USA


Features to know about

Three Pieces Instead of One Full Hitch

Demco Recon Stealth Being Stored on MOLLE Panel

This Demco Recon Stealth separates into three sections when you need to remove it from the truck bed. That changes the job from pulling one large hitch to lifting smaller sections one at a time. The base also folds down when the hitch is not assembled, so it doesn't leave the same upright profile in the bed. The included MOLLE panel gives those disassembled sections a place to mount at the front of the bed instead of being left loose on the floor or set aside in your garage.

Wraparound Jaw Gives You a Tighter 5th Wheel Connection

Demco Recon Stealth Wrap Around Jaws

The hitch head uses a wraparound jaw and locking bar that fully enclose the kingpin. That tighter fit cuts down on the movement you can get from looser coupler styles at the hitch. The head pivots front-to-back and side-to-side, which helps it stay aligned as the truck and trailer move through turns, dips, and uneven ground.

Height Adjustment Helps You Level the Trailer

Demco Recon Stealth Folded Down

The upright uses stacked pin holes so the hitch head can be set at different heights. That lets you match the trailer to the truck more closely instead of towing nose high or nose low. The hitch mounts to a 2-5/16" gooseneck ball and works with compatible 4" and 5" ball heights, so the adjustment happens at the hitch without changing the mounting setup.

See what our Experts say about this Demco 5th Wheel Gooseneck Adapter

  • Does Demco Recon Stealth Gooseneck To 5th Wheel Hitch Adapter Provide Extra Height?
    Good morning Stephanie, the Demco Recon Stealth adapters do give you some built-in height adjustment, and typically it offers more height than some other fifth wheel hitthes. The Demco Recon Stealth models like the universal # DM63UV and the vehicle specific kits like # DM54QJ, # DM82SJ, and # DM22SJ have three height settings: 16-3/4" 18" 19-1/4" That gives you some room to fine-tune the hitch height and help level your trailer instead of being locked into one position. They’re also...

  • Is New Demco Recon Stealth Adapter Lighter Than A Standard 5th Wheel Hitch? Is It A One Man Job?
    Hey Greg, the Demco Recon Stealth is definitely more manageable than a traditional one-piece 5th wheel hitch. It is a one person job for sure. Whether you’re looking at # DM63UV or one of the truck-specific kits like # DM54QJ (Ford), # DM82SJ (Chevy), or # DM22SJ (RAM), the hitch breaks down into three separate pieces instead of coming out as one big assembly. That makes it much easier for one person to handle piece by piece. If you have one of the vehicles that the kits fit, I'd grab...

  • Where Do You Store Demco Recon Gooseneck To 5th Wheel Adapter When Not In Use?
    Hey Tom, if you go with the hitch-only version # DM63UV, most people either store the pieces in the bed or take them out and keep them in the garage. The nice thing is that the Recon Stealth breaks down into three smaller sections, and the base folds down, so it’s much easier to store than a full-size hitch. But without the MOLLE panel kits, you won’t have that dedicated front-of-bed mounting spot. I recommend looking into the complete setup with MOLLE storage kit for front of bed storage: -...

  • Will Demco Recon Stealth Hitch Adapter Work In Short Bed Truck? 5th Wheel RV With Tapered Nose
    Hey Ashley, if your trailer has a modern tapered front cap, there’s a good chance this setup will work - but it’s still worth double-checking your clearance. The Demco Recon Stealth models like # DM63UV (universal) , # DM54QJ (Ford), # DM82SJ (Chevy/GMC), and # DM22SJ (RAM) are all fixed hitches (no slider), so in a short bed truck, everything comes down to cab-to-trailer clearance when turning. You can check it using this formula: (A + B) - C = Clearance A = Distance from the center...

  • Is Demco Recon Stealth Adapter Better Than Gooseneck Trailer Adapters On Trailer Side?
    Hey Derek, that’s a smart question! Most don't think about the different options. Both have their purpose, so there isn't really an easy answer. With the Demco Recon Stealth hitch like # DM63UV, or the MOLLE panel kits for specific vehicle fits # DM54QJ, # DM82SJ, and # DM22SJ, you’re getting a true 5th wheel hitch connection at the kingpin, just mounted to your gooseneck ball. That’s different from a trailer-mounted gooseneck adapter, which changes the connection on the trailer side,...

  • Is The New Demco Recon Stealth Easier To Remove Than Standard 5th wheel Hitch?
    Hey Luis, congrats on the brand-new truck. This one’s much more manageable than a traditional 5th wheel hitch / adapter. It breaks down into three pieces, so you’re not lifting one big unit, and the base folds down so it’s not sticking up in the bed when it’s not assembled. The old Recons are still nice, but these are a huge improvement when it comes to saving space in the truck bed. If you go with one of the vehicle-specific kits, you also get a MOLLE panel to store everything at the...
