Best 2005 Ford F-350 Super Duty Gooseneck and Fifth Wheel Adapters

Love this hitch. It has performed great with my 17,000 lb trailer all year. A very stable and reliable platform for towing. Easy to set up and plenty of adjustment to get the trailer just right. The only negative is the weight, not the easiest to get in and out of the truck by yourself.

Hitch arrived on time. Packaging was a little beat up but everything inside was fine. I did the installation myself and had no issues. The install video etrailer made was a big help and good reference. I'd absolutely recommend getting this hitch if you have a gooseneck hitch and are looking for a 5th wheel hitch that can be used with it.

Superior design. Superb build quality! The B&W Companion slider ticks all the right boxes for me! The instructions are well written with helpful diagrams that make them easy to follow.

what a horrible experience buying from trailer. The company takes your money and then takes no responsibility for the actual delivery of the product. $[XX] spent, but I do not have the hitch.

I got a email to review this so here I am. The attachment to the bed in fantastic. I rate it at 5 stars and an it’s very easy to remove quickly. The king pin lock does not work very well after about 6 months of use. I typically have to reach into the locking mechanism to get it to release properly. Other than that is has not cracked, rusted or bent since I’ve owned it. I live is the high desert so it does not see much rain or snow.

We have about 20000 miles towing with the hitch so far and have had one problem with our set up. The hitch assembly rotates or slips around, I drilled a hole in the outer frame of the hitch and my truck bed and installed a nut and bolt to keep it from rotating.The base was rotating on the flat bed of truck.

I am very impressed with the quality of this BW 5th wheel hitch. I chose it because it what is recommended for use on my new flatbed for my truck. The flatbed is designed with this hitch in mind. It fits perfectly in the gooseneck well and is easy to install/remove. Just tighten/loosen the tension bolt and slide the locking pin to switch from gooseneck ball to 5th wheel. Going with this hitch and a flatbed makes trailering so much easier. No more step ladders, standing on running boards or tire to reach the hitch handle. Just reach over, grab the handle to open/close the jaws and set the safety pin. Highly recommend it.

Finally found someone that was knowledgeable and could solve our towing needs after we had a flatbed installed on our truck!! Works great and received our order a lot earlier than estimated!

The assembly seems very stout and sturdy overall. Was able to put the unit together in truck bed quite easily. will know more in upcoming weekend when fifth wheel trailer gets pulled home

Working great after a year. Have pulled two different 5th wheels - both over 38'. Still some slight chucking, but nothing like my old hitch. Love the security of the slider bar and the 360 degree contact. I usually leave it in the truck, but will split it into two pieces when I need the full bed.

This product is a chucking ENHANCER, not a chucking dampener. Additionally, despite what you have read, my experience with GenY customer service has been terrible. GenY will not support their warranty program, they will try to tell you everything is OK, when the fact is, their product is faulty and does not function to GenY product literature statements “Built-In Suspension Creates Up to 90% Smoother Ride”. I purchased the GenY executive hitch from eTrailer on 3/10/23, etrailer sent the wrong unit and to etrailer’s credit - they quickly took responsibility and replaced with the correct unit on 3/24/23. I installed on my DRV Elite Suites PS3 just in time to attend the SOITC rally at the Outer Banks on 4/13/23. When we left for this 750-mile one-way trip, the GenY load indicator was in the middle of the green zone, I measured the pin load at 5,200 pounds. Bedrail clearance was my reason for buying the GenY, it replaced a Trail Air on my DRV and a Reese 27,000-pound hitch on my 2022 F450. Bottom line, the GenY system provided no improvement in bedrail clearance, but did offer the ability to switch in different gooseneck balls to adjust for bedrail clearance. GenY states that a 1,000-mile break in period is required before the GenY torsion system is fully effective. My experience was that at 750 miles the torsion system on the GenY had sagged to it lowest point with the load indicator in the unit outside of the green, this also resulted in losing nearly two inches of bedrail clearance. It looks like it has a metal-to-metal stop so that the lowest the indicator will go is to the white lines outside of the green. I called GenY from the RV park and was told that the unit would not sag further. I purchased a Curt gooseneck ball which was 2 inches higher than the Ford ball to regain bedrail clearance having to rapid ship it to the RV park. Chucking became downright scary on the 750-trip home. As an example, chucking was induced every time my truck’s ten-speed transmission shifted up. Upon arrival home, I again contacted GenY customer service with a full expectation that GenY would replace the unit. Instead, here is their response: “I spoke with our QC Manager regarding your hitch. He said that you are in the correct unit and being at the top end of the green is normal after the break-in miles. As for the bedrail clearance he said that you would be able to lower the pin box down a set of bolts (with our pin boxes you are only required a minimum of 4 grade eight bolts per side) or use a B&W ball as they are roughly 1 1/2” taller.” This is unacceptable...

Without a doubt the biggest difference maker I have ever used in my 50 plus years pulling trailers. When my wife had to concede that the Gen-Y gooseneck hitch made such a drastic difference.... enough said!

I love this hitch I put it on my 35’ Astoria fifth wheel it pulls great and the shock absorbers help with a smooth ride.we took a ten day trip from Ga to Maine last September and had no problems with this hitch. I guess the only negative is that it’s not as easy as a regular fifth wheel hitch to hook up by yourself but after a few times you can line it up ok. The best thing is that no big hitch taking up space in my truck bed just a ball

All I can say is THANK YOU Tiffani S.! At first there was a mix-up and some issues with the order and re-applying a rebate that had expired, but finding Tiffani fixed everything. She was able to make things happen the way they should've from the beginning, and she got me all squared away. I have not installed the hitch yet, but things look like they should fit and are high quality.

This product is spot on, I installed it immediately and have used it twice. This product was an awesome option to purchase because of already having the B&W turnover ball system. This gave me the ability to install and the Curt Q24 slider to give the maneuverability needed when pulling a fifth wheel with a short box that the Anderson hitch did not provide. I have already used the slider option twice, it works flawlessly. Prior to the purchase of this Demco I purchased the Curt X5. The X5 did not work with my truck at all. The X5 did not even make contact with the bed of the truck for support. This Demco base to rails fits tightly to the bed of the truck. I have 2007 Dodge 3500. It is a short box mega cab.

Does exactly what is is built to do. I pull a 42’ fifthwheel that weighs 18000# with no hesitation anywhere. As always very happy with product and ther staff at etrailer. I will continue to use you for all my needs. Thank

I returned it, because it was going to change the structural integrity of my 5th wheel camper. Did not use the product.

Real fast shipping, and a competitive price. Easy to follow directions and simple installation. This is a great product.

The Gen-Y gooseneck has been excellent! I now have approximately 12k miles on mine and it rides very nicely with very limited chucking and handles rough roads very well. I’d highly recommend that you contact Gen-Y BEFORE ordering to ensure you get the correct load rating product. Gen-Y and Etrailer have provided excellent customer and tech support! This product definitely frees up your truck bed and does require a precise line up to hitch.

Makes life a lot easier l don’t have to remove my hitch from the bed of my truck to use it. Just flip the ball and there you go. The gooseneck hitch actually pulls better than the 5th wheel hitch I had. It is rather heavy so come up with a good plan for installing, I used the front end loader on my tractor which allowed me to do the install by myself. Great product!!!

I have a 2019 f250 with the 6.5' bed and didn't want a heavy, bulky fifth wheel hitch taking all the bed space up. I had the fifth wheel package already installed as well, so it didn't make sense to not use that. I about went with the ultimate hitch that Anderson offers but decided against that as I have seen many reviews where the hitch failed. I saved a bunch of cash going with this product and it is awesome. I installed it by myself in my drive way in about 2 hours start to finish. I have zero issues turning so close to a 90*. I have a headache rack on my truck and it gets within an inch or two of hitting that but not my truck. I don't have any issues with the king box hitting the bed either like some people stated. The test ride today went very well. It rode very smooth and I have plenty of bed space for my dogs and gear. I would highly suggest this product if you are on the fence like I was. I will see how this will hold up over the years but I doubt I will have any issues. The shipping effected the sheath covering over the cable, I contacted the company, sent some pictures and they will be sending me a brand new part. I love this company and the products they stand behind!!!

I have been using the Ranch Hitch #3100 Straight Adapter for 3 years. Converting the 5th wheel to goose neck was awesome. Much easier to hook up and a smoother, quieter pull. After purchasing a new trailer I noticed that the trailer was too close to the cab of my short bed truck. I found the Ranch Hitch #3139 with 8" offset adapter. It installs easy and gives me 8 more inches away from my truck cab. Excellent! Turning corners is much more comfortable!

The gooseneck to 5th wheel adaptor has worked great and is a quality part. I would recommend it to anyone that is transitioning a trailer.

I am extremely happy with this fifth wheel adapter, works great, was delivered in a timely manner

I ordered the Bulldog adapter because I believe their quality is good. The construction of the Bulldog hitch adapter was good. However, the 4” tube was not perfectly round, approximately.030 out of round. This shouldn’t have been an issue, but since my trailer is used and had a Temco hitch originally, the tube wouldn’t slip in. I chucked the Bulldog in the lathe and skimmed .030 of the diameter and it went right in. This review is not written to criticize Etrailer or Bulldog. Just be aware if you’re working with a different brand hitch other than what is listed, there is a possibility of fitment issues.

My expectation when I unboxed the unit was that it would be a brand new unit. This unit looks like it had been made up and peicemealed from random gooseneck parts. I am reluctant to use this unit because I am questioning the workmanship of the welds.

Installation was a breeze. I have not towed with it yet, but am sure it will perform as expected.

Hitch is great. Delivery went well. My only issue is I was able to find it for roughly $xxx cheaper on [online]. When I reached out to customer support to let them know, they told me it was too late to cancel the order and if I’d like, I can return it for a $xxxx shipping fee…

This product fits my fifth wheel hitch well and fits in the truck hitch as well. Have not pulled with it yet as winter storms are here. I expect it to work well. Expensive for as simple as it is. Hoping it is built well. Nice That I was able to get a used one at a reduced rate. Missing the pads so we’ll see what kind of a difference that makes. Very happy with etrailer as a distributor. They make the purchase easy and quick free delivery. They Always follow up on my satisfaction with my purchase’s.

Best thing for someone who uses the entire bed of their truck. Does not make anymore noise than a standard rail kit.

Would bot fit onto my big tex trailer!

It is as advertised. Heavy built. Great construction. Welds are burned in properly. I built a bumper pull to 5th wheel conversion for our camper and it worked great. I highly recommend.

I have been very pleased with the gooseneck to 5th wheel adapter. So much so, that I bought a second one (but it was square tube not round). Having a fifth wheel camper, a flat deck trailer and a dump trailer all on fifth wheel hitches is awesome. They pull better than gooseneck (smoother), they hook up faster and nobody asks to borrow them!

Makes for a more stable hitch with the Ram Puck System, don't hear of feel the gooseneck down pipe flexing, makes hooking up easier in that I don't have to get up into the bed to close and lock the gooseneck lock. Yeah, glad I went this way. Easy install.

Heavy and doesn't fit flat on my truck bed, had to add some heavy duro rubber shims between this and the bed floor. I paired this with the C611-624 gooseneck hitch.

Everything arrived in perfect condition. With a little trim of the bed liner the adapter fit perfectly as described. My Curt A-16 hitch looks great paired up with the gooseneck adapter. Ready to hit the road!

Very well built. Great quality. Some of the edges were a bit sharp from the manufacturing processes, a quick sand with a flapper disc took care of it. Towed approximately 15-20k with it from California to Alabama. No issues at all.

Very good quality. Welds and fit are excellent. I used this to adapt a 5thwheel. The factory pin box was the wrong style to fit my truck and hitch. This coupler adapter allowed me to use vertical adjustment to let my trailer clear the bed of my truck even when turning. As you can see I cut the coupler down to suit my needs and it seems to have worked very well. My only complaint isn’t even really aimed at the part or etrailer but at usps. etrailer shipped the part the next day and I had it within 3days. The box it came in was shredded!!! Again not really the fault of etrailer or the part but y’all might think about using better shipping containers or using a better shipping company. Also wrapping these bigger heavier parts with sharp corners in shipping Cellophane might help keep the boxes in 1 piece. Thanks!!

I was sent the wrong trailer adapter. I ordered square tube was sent round.

The king pin adapter works great and I won't have to switch back-and-forth between gooseneck ball and fifth wheel hitch anymore. I found the best price at the etrailer.com .
