Video Transcript for Checking Out the Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Dodge Ram OEM Puck Systems

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com, and today, we're gonna take a look at this Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for your Dodge Ram OEM puck systems. Now, this gooseneck hitch adapter is going to work with your Dodge OEM factory puck system, giving you a five inch offset for additional clearance between your truck bed and trailer, and that clearance is going to be great in allowing you to make sharper turns and to fully open your truck bed while you are still hooked up to your trailer. Another nice benefit of this adapter is it's not going to add any additional bulk in your truck bed, and its simple design is going to leave extra room in your truck bed for other gear. Now, this has a ball size of 2 5/16 inches and a weight capacity of 25,000 pounds, and this is a quick and easy installation into your Dodge's OEM puck system. You're going to be able to switch out your current ball mount in seconds, and I wanna give you a brief demonstration of how easy this is to install. So first, you are going to remove the included safety pin, and then, you will want to pull up on this T-handle and give it 1/4 turn just like that, and that is going to disengage our balls here in the stem.

And so, while you have this unlatched, you're just going to go ahead and insert the stem into your Dodge's gooseneck pocket, and then these ends will drop into your pucks in the bed of your truck, and then once you have this set in place, you're just gonna go ahead and turn the T-handle 1/4 of a turn again, and that's going to drop down and lock into place and reengage those spring loaded balls. And then, you just replace the safety pin and you are good to go. Now, just an idea of what this is going to look like once you have this installed, as you can see, this is going to take out very little space in the bed of your truck, and again, a very easy installation. Now, I also wanted to pull out my ruler here and just to confirm that clearance with you, measuring from the center of our stem to the center of our ball, as you can see, that's where we have our five inch offset. And then, this is made here in the USA of a powder coated steel, so this is going to do great in resisting corrosion.

Gen-Y is known for making very robust products, and in my opinion, this adapter is no different, so I think it's going to hold up really well for you and be very long lasting. This does have a limited lifetime warranty. So if you are looking for an adapter that will give you a five inch offset for additional clearance between your truck bed and trailer and will easily fit into your Dodge's factory puck system, this is going to be a great adapter for you to consider. Well, that's going to conclude our look today, I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me.

See what our Experts say about this Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Hitch

  • Is An Offset Ball Needed For The Reese Goosebox In A Short Bed 2014 Ram 3500 Dually
    With a short bed truck it's definitely recommended that you use an offset ball to try and prevent the nose of the trailer from contacting the cab of the truck when making tight turns. The Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # GY83XR provides a 5" offset so you're correct in choosing it. The Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter # RP85FR should clear the tailgate without a problem, but you may still have issues with turning clearance even with offset ball.

  • Does GEN-Y Have Offset Gooseneck Ball Option for 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500HD OEM Prep Package
    Yes we do have an offset gooseneck ball from Gen-Y that fits your 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500 OEM prep package with the part # GY73XR.

  • Is There Offset Gooseneck Ball that Fits Ram 2500 with OEM Pucks
    Hey Jeff, for your Ram 2500 that has the factory gooseneck hitch setup we do have an offset ball that would work great with the Gen-Y part # GY83XR which has a 5 inch offset to help with turning clearance. The engineers for this were pretty clever and they use two of the forward pucks as anchors to prevent the ball from rotating.

  • Can B&W Offset Gooseneck Hitch Ball Work with OEM Puck System on 2021 Ram 3500
    Hey Rudi, thanks for reaching out! I think what you're saying is you have the OEM puck system with the center gooseneck hole installed on your 2021 Ram 3500. If that's the case, then I recommend using the Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # GY83XR which comes with a 5" offset - the 4" Offset B&W Ball # BWGNXA4085 is designed to only work with the B&W gooseneck hitches like part # BWGNRK1320 that fits your truck. You can replace your OEM puck system with the B&W gooseneck, but I don't...

  • Parts Needed to Convert 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Hookup on a 2020 Ram 3500
    Hey Darrell, Definitely a great start to the information needed to get you converted over to a gooseneck towing system. If you can confirm what model pin box you have (like a Lippert 1621) or at least let me know what the serial number is I'll be able to cross-reference that and let you know what Gen-Y pin box is needed. When it comes to the offset ball puck mount I'm guessing you have the OEM puck system by your wording so the Gen-Y Hitch # GY83XR is what fits your setup.

  • Can Gen-Y Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter be Used with Short Bed Ram 3500
    Hey Guy, so the Gen-Y fifth wheel to gooseneck adapter part # GY98GR can be used with a short bed Ram 3500 but it sounds like your real question is will this allow for turning clearance which that answer to that is "it depends." If the trailer has a tapered nose it's probably going to be fine but if the nose is totally square without any taper you'd most likely have a hard time with tighter corners. If your 2022 Ram 3500 has the OEM gooseneck hitch though you can use the Gen-Y ball kit...

  • Reese Goose Box Gooseneck Adapter that Fits 2024 Jayco Eagle 29DDB
    Hey Matt, so the correct Reese Goose Box you'd need for your 2024 Jayco Eagle 29DDB would be the part # RP85FR which fits the Rhino as well as the other standard Lippert pin boxes that your Jayco would have came with although we are pretty sure it is a Rhino. Since your 2024 Ram 2500 is a short bed I would recommend going with an offset ball to fit the OEM pucks like the Gen-Y part # GY83XR which provides 5 inches of offset.

  • Which Gen-Y Offset Gooseneck Ball Fits 2024 Ram 2500 Short Bed with OEM Pucks
    Hey Glenn, for the 2024 Ram 2500 Gen-Y only makes the 5 inch offset hitch ball for the OEM pucks with the part # GY83XR. There isn't a 4 inch version available as well but even if there was the 5 inch offset would be better since you'd get just a little more turning clearance. The # 19308 doesn't work because it was designed to fit a different gooseneck hitch so it wouldn't fit.

  • Do I Need Offset Gooseneck Ball For 2019 Ram 3500 Long Bed?
    Hey Tim, thanks for reaching out. Generally, with long bed trucks like your Ram 3500, turning clearance will not be an issue, so the offset ball would not be needed. If you want to be 100% sure, you can use the following formula to determine your turning clearance: (A + B) - C = Clearance A = Distance from the fifth wheel jaw center to the truck cab B = Offset used C = Width of the nose of the trailer divided by 2 You most likely will need a standard ball instead of the offset ball....

  • Offset Gooseneck Ball for 2018 Ram 2500
    Hi Michael; do you have an aftermarket Curt gooseneck hitch or the OEM prep package? The last time we talked you mentioned the puck system on your 2018 Ram. If you have the gooseneck hitch from the prep package you can use the # GY83XR for an offset ball. If you have an aftermarket Curt hitch no offset ball is available. The only option would be to use something like the # BWTEXA4200 if it was a gooseneck trailer.

  • Is There an Offset Adapter for Use with Reese Goose Box for Short Bed Turning Clearance
    Hey Jason, there are offset gooseneck ball solutions that an be used with Reese Goose Boxes like the part # RP85FR but that depends on the gooseneck hitch you have installed in your truck bed. For example, if you have a B and W Turnoverball you can use the part # BWGNXA4085 for a 4 inch offset, or if you have a Ram OEM gooseneck hitch in a Ram truck Geny-Y has the part # GY83XR for a 5 inch offset. What gooseneck hitch do you have? There basically isn't a way to add any offset to the Goose Box.

  • Trying to Determine if 2018 Ram 2500 Has OEM Gooseneck
    Hey Taylor, are the 4 mounts you have in the bed of your 2018 Ram 2500 in the recessed part of the truck bed where the OEM pucks would normally be? I guess it would be possible the gooseneck hitch is under your bed and you'd just need to cut the hole to access it but there's also a chance you have a different brand hitch under your bed. I'd look under the truck bed and see if you can see a brand or label anywhere on the underbed hitch to determine what exactly you have and we can go from...

  • Will the Gen-Y Gooseneck Hitch with Offset Push the Pin Weight Behind the Axle of a 2022 Ram 3500
    Great questions, Jeremy! The Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # GY83XR will put the pin weight in a safe place over the axle for your 2022 Ram 3500. I don't have the specs for where your center puck is currently located, but it will be 5" further back so you'll be able to get a better idea of where exactly this location will be. Gen-Y has done extensive testing, and they don't have any rules about limiting the use of this product so you're good to go!

  • Best 5th Wheel Hitch/Pin Box Combination for 2025 Ram 3500 Mega Cab With OEM Prep Package
    Hey Jory! Since you have the short bed on your 2025 Ram 3500 Mega Cab clearance is definitely an issue. If you want to use a gooseneck setup that is possible but you will have to use an offset ball like the # GY83XR with # C60617 for additional clearance. This has a 5" offset which still might not be enough for a 90 degree turn. For a replacement pin box we will have to identify the current pin box. If you can't read the sticker the only way to identify it is to measure the bolt pattern...

We have offset gooseneck ball options depending on what type of hitch you have. If your 2020 Ram 3500 has the factory puck system we do have the GEN-Y # GY83XR which will give you a 5" offset.

    The puck feet on the Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Dodge Ram OEM Puck Systems # GY83XR is just to help stabilize the ball mount and does not lock into place in the puck. The locking mechanism on top will lock the shank into the gooseneck hitch for fast and easy installation and removal.

  • How To Gain Fifth Wheel Turning Clearance On My 2016 Ram 2500
    I do have a few potential solutions for you, but we do not recommend using the Convert-A-Ball Offset Adapter # CAB-C5GX1216 with a Gen-Y offset ball # GY83XR. This Gen-Y offset gooseneck ball should not be used with any kind of adapter. If you need 12" of clearance, a slider hitch like the B&W companion # BWRVK3670 will give you 12" of fore/aft travel. B&W makes an extremely well built hitch. The downside is they are quite heavy, just shy of 300 lbs. Another option is to replace your...

You will also need a set of Safety Chains # RP49151 with changing to a hitch ball connection.
