• How to Measure 5th Wheel Hitch Height for a 2023 GMC Sierra 3500 W/ a Short Bed
  Ok so in order to determine the correct height setting for your 5th wheel and your GMC Sierra 3500, you'd need to level your setup and measure from the ground to the bottom of the pin box and choose a height setting that gives you the most level ride (17" - 19" for the B&W Companion # BWRVK3400-5W you're looking at).

• Will 2020 GMC 2500 Have Proper Clearance With 2017 GrandDesign Solitude 310GK and MORryde GooseTech

• Offset Gooseneck Hitch Ball Kit for a Short Bed 2021 GMC Sierra 3500

  Hey Donn! I see where it is listed on the Curt site under their notes but I wasn't able to find the actual part on their site or ours. I reached out to Curt directly and found that it is still in the engineering process (as of March 2025). They're planning to release it sometime this year so it is not available yet. It would be nice if they made note of that so customers wouldn't go chasing after it but oh well. If you have an immediate need for an offset gooseneck ball for your prep...

• Will 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 Short Bed Work With Gen-Y Hitch 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box
  Since you're talking about an offset ball and don't want a slider it sounds like you have the 2024 Sierra 3500 short bed. Even with the offset you aren't going to be able to make a full 90 degree turn. I'm also not sure what your truck setup is like. Assuming you have the prep package you could use a 5" offset ball with the Gen-Y # GY55XR to get the best clearance. To truly find how much clearance you will have you can use the formula below: (A + B) - C = Clearance A = Distance from center...

• Troubleshooting the Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for GM OEM Puck Systems
  Welcome back! If you're not seeing any visual defects in the gooseneck ball portion of the Gen-Y Gooseneck Hitch item # GY55XR then it just needs to be broken in. It'll loosen up once this happens and you won't have to worry about it getting stuck. It does require lubrication though so I would throw some white lithium grease like item # L11354 into the gooseneck hole. Additionally, if there is excess paint in your Silverado's gooseneck hole you'll want to clean all of that off. The tolerances...

• Which Gen-Y Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter Fits 2022 Montana 3121RL
  Hey Robert, thanks for all of the info from your 2022 Montana 3121RL Legacy. With that we can verify that the pin box you have is the Lippert 1116 style which Gen-Y part # GY73FR you referenced is designed to fit in place of so this will fit and work great for you. I looked up your RV and it has a tapered nose that was designed to help with short bed turning clearance so I do not foresee you needing to use an offset ball if the truck you go with is a short bed.
