Most Popular Fifth Wheel Trailer to Gooseneck Hitch for 2004 Dodge Ram Pickup

This was a clean and simple design that is easy to install. The video and instruction sheet made the install easy. Once installed, the unit made hook up and towing easy. The frustrating part about this is the use of square head bolts. They require the use of a crowfoot wrench to adapt to a torque wrench. These are not easy to find, and they are relatively expensive. Manufacture the bolts with hex heads instead so that a standard 1" socket can be used.

Ordered this prior to the arrival of my new Eagle RKS-313. The CAB-C5G was easy to install on the trailer, instructions were straight forward and easy to follow. One season under my belt with a Fifth Wheel, and it's been a Great one. Connect & disconnect are smooth and quick. With the hidden Goose in my Ram 3500, i have ample room for necessities to have a great week/weekend of camping. Very happy with my CAB-C5G!!

This hitch adapter is heavy duty. It's easy for two people to install in under an hour and all parts fit together well. The instructions were well written in English, which is the official language of our country (USA). The offset adapter works great with my 2011 Ram 2500 4x4 which sits higher due to oversized tires. My shipment was received two days after I ordered it without paying any expedited freight charges! Thanks to the Convert-A-Ball and the fine folks at etrailer.com my days of listening to a clanging 5th wheel hitch are over. Thank you etrailer.

Hitch is great and a breeze to install. I cant say enough about the service I received from etrailer. I ordered the wrong hitch (my fault) so I called etrailer they immediately sent me a return authorization and shipped me the correct hitch. They shipped the replacement hitch on Thursday morning I received it Friday. Thats awesome. Thanks etrailer.

order came in on time. just one hour to install. with help from friends. so far its going well. adjusted height. looks good. can't wait to get on the road. great company

Installed in about ten minutes, ( I used a bearing puller to seat the bushings ) five minutes to tack weld it into place and done. Pulls better than a fifth wheel hitch IMO. Seems to be made very well. Took two days for deliver. Very satisfied

Installation was easy, and straight forward. I love not having a 5th wheel in the bed of the truck. I don't care for the airbag, and wish they would come up with some sort of short travel coilover shock system or something similar. Simpler is better in my opinion. On my 2014 Ram crew cab SRW 3500 with 6.5ft bed, the turning radius is pretty dang good, and I've experienced no issues over uneven terrain or unevenly elevated intersections, of which I have some right around my house. The ride is very smooth and comfortable, and only gets lumpy when the airbag is fully inflated. I normally tend to run about 38-40psi in it. That gives me about 6 inches of bed rail clearance, and still allows plenty of rail to goosebox clearance in tight turns. My truck trailer combo is; 2014 Ram Cummins 3500 SRW with 6.5ft bed, and a 2016 KZ Durango 1500, with a 1600lb dry pin weight, and a 10,200Lb GVWR.

Make sure your part is exactly what you need. Return shipping is very expensive.

This hitch reduced chucking very well, I have a 2004 3500 Dodge Ram 4x4 Conestoga riding truck with very stiff suspension, the torsion action of the hitch definitely helps when crossing bridges and pot holes. The 5th wheel is an older Keystone Copper Canyon that is in great shape. I Have 12K miles with the new hitch.

This works absolutely perfect in a Ram 3500 with 6 1/2 ft bed, and the Gen Y gooseball hitch. I think if more people knew of this combination, the fifth wheel style hitch, Anderson hitch and others would become obsolete. Get to your destination, disconnect, pull out the ball, and the bed of your truck is free!
