Video Transcript for All About the Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Ford 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 Ford OEM Puck Systems. This gooseneck hitch adapter is going to work with your 2017 and newer Ford factory puck systems, 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 when you are hooked up to your trailer and also to fully allow you to open your truck bed while you are still hooked up to your trailer. Also, the design of this adapter is not going to take up any added bulk in your truck bed and the simple design is going to leave extra room in your truck bed for other gear. Now this does have a ball size of 2-5/16".

This has a weight capacity of 25,000 pounds and this is a quick and easy installation into your Ford's OEM puck system. You're gonna be able to switch out your current ball mount in seconds and I want to just kind of walk you through, just kind of showing you how easy it is to install this. So I'm gonna remove my block here just for a minute to give me a little bit more leverage to pull up on this T handle. It's obviously going to be easier when you have this down on your truck bed before you're ready to install. So I'm gonna go ahead and remove this safety pin and then you're just going to lift up this T handle and give it a quarter turn, just like that.

And what that does is that disengages the spring loaded balls there, and I'm gonna go ahead and replace my block. And then you're just going to simply drop this stem into your Ford's gooseneck pocket in your truck bed. And of course these points here will drop into your pucks in the truck bed. And once you have this inserted into the gooseneck ball hole, the gooseneck pocket and it's fully inserted, you're just going to turn this T handle another quarter of a turn, and that's going to reengage those spring loaded balls. And then just replace the safety pin like that and you are good to go.

I wanna put a picture on your screen just showing you what one of these looks like installed in a truck bed. So that kind of gives you an idea of what this is going to look like. And then I'm also going to retrieve my ruler here and measure from the center of our stem to the center of our ball and lining that up, as you can see, that offset is five inches. So this is made here in the USA of a powder coated durable steel construction. So this is going to do a great job of resisting corrosion.

This is a Gen-Y product and as you probably know, Gen-Y is known for making very strong, durable, robust products and this adapter is no exception. 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 2017 and newer Ford factory puck systems, then this is going to be a great adapter for you to consider. Well, that's gonna conclude our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

  • Options for Towing A Fifth Wheel With A 2022 F-350 Short Bed With OEM Puck System
    With a 2022 F350 short bed, hitting the top of the bed rails should not be an issue with most campers. Turning clearance however, will certainly be a factor. That is one advantage of the Andersen Ultimate hitch # AM3200, as it provides a 9" offset. It is also very light (40 lbs) and will by far be the easiest to manage by yourself. Any other hitch is going to be at least quadruple that. For example, for your truck we would generally recommend a B&W companion hitch # BWRVK3370. Extremely...

  • What 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter Hitch do I Need for My 2019 Ford F250 with Short Bed?
    Hello Shane, Great question, and I am going to need you pin box number to ensure we are getting you the right part number. If you are unsure of your pin box number, please feel free to send me the information off of the sticker on your current Pin Box so I can get it from Lippert. Since your 2019 F250 is a short bed you are definitely going to need an offset. The Shocker 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pinbox for Lippert 1621/0719 and Rhino Box - 24K GTW - 6K TW # SHK23MR has a 3" offset. I attached...

  • Is There 5th Wheel Hitch For 2022 Ford F-250 w/ Pucks That Will Get Closer to King Pin
    Hi Fred, It's possible there is a 5th wheel hitch for your 2022 Ford F-250 that can give you a bit more clearance, but you'll need to compare that to where your current hitch sits. What may work for you is the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w Slider for Ford Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3370. The # BWRVK3370 has arms you can reposition, and when they are in the position furthest from the cab, the kingpin will be 1" in front of the axle. I'm not certain where your kingpin sits...

    Hey Lyle, we actually have a version of the Gen-Y offset gooseneck ball that was designed to fit the OEM gooseneck hitch of your 2017 Ford F-250 with the part # GY43XR. This provides up to 5 inches of additional offset to help with turning clearance.

  • Can Reese Goose Box Replace Curt Helux on Alliance Paradigm 340RL
    Hey Mike! To answer your first question yes, the Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter # RP59KR can replace the Curt Helux. This is compatible with the Rhino bolt pattern which is the same thing the Helux fits. I don't see bed rail clearance being an issue on your 2024 F-350 but it doesn't hurt to check. The # RP59KR measures 20-1/4" from the center hole to the bottom of the gooseneck coupler. Once you have the trailer you can use this measurement to determine...

  • Comparing Offset Gooseneck Hitch Balls For A 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500 With Reese Elite Puck System
    Hey Cameron, The Reese Elite Series Under-Bed Gooseneck # RP30158-68 is the same pattern as Ford's OEM puck system spacing so you would be able to use the Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Ford OEM Puck Systems # GY43XR. The Curt RockerBall Multi-Fit Ball Kit w/ 4" Offset # C78ZV (60668) would also fit and comes with Curt's RockerBall hitch ball. This helps absorb shock for a smoother ride quality. The Curt # C78ZV is adjustable so that you can fit various puck systems so it might...

  • Is There an Offset Gooseneck Hitch Ball For a 2012 Ford F-350 Short Bed With Factory Puck System?
    Gen-Y currently only shows their 5" Offset # GY43XR only fitting the 2017 and newer Ford Super Duty trucks. I have included a drawing with the dimensions for this below you can check and see if it will fit your 2012 Ford F-350. If not another option would be to use a Rail Adapter # C88KR with an Offset Ball # 16055. Based on information I could find online I see the 2024 Brinkley Z3100 is going to come with a Lippert Rhino pin box. If this is what you have you will need the Gen-Y Hitch...

  • Which Gen-Y Gooseneck Adapter Fits 2024 Brinkley Z-3100
    So Carl, I checked and your 2024 Brinkley Z-3100 has a Rhino box style pin box so the correct Gen-Y gooseneck Executive is the part # GY98GR. Since your 2024 Ford F-350 has a short bed and the nose of the trailer is a bit wider I would recommend going with the offset Gen-Y ball part # GY43XR to give you additional turning clearance.

  • Will Reese Goose Box Allow Short Bed Truck Enough Turning Clearance
    While you do have a longer short bed truck on your 2023 Ford F-350 whether or not a Goosebox like part # RP85FR or the Gen-Y # GY98GR would provide enough turning clearance comes down to the nose style of the trailer you have. If it's a tapered nose you would be fine but if it's square at the nose and 8 foot wide it would be pretty tight and you'd be limited.

  • Can 2022 GMC 3500 Short Bed Tow 2021 Forest River Sierra 3330BH With Gen Y Gooseneck Adapter
    I looked up your 2021 Forrest River Sierra C Class 3330BH and since it has a tapered nose designed for short bed turning clearance and the short bed of your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 is on the longer side you would be able to get away with a Gen-Y pin box to gooseneck adapter and offset ball and have plenty of turning clearance. So what you would need is the # GY98GR for the adapter since you have a Rhino box and for the offset ball part # GY43XR and you'd be set. No more heavy fifth wheel...

  • Offset Gooseneck Ball Compatible With Ford Puck/Prep With a Convert-A-Ball Offset 5th Wheel To Goose
    You will need the Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # GY43XR on your 2019 Ford F-350 as you have the factory puck/prep in bed hitch system. The 4" Offset Ball # BWGNXA4085 you found is only for use in a B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch. You can combine the 5" offset of the Gen-Y above with the 7-1/2" offset of the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5GX1216 for a total offset of 12-1/2".

  • Offset Gooseneck Hitch Ball Compatible With Factory In Bed Hitch/Puck System on a 2024 Ford F-250
    We do have the Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # GY43XR which installs into your factory in bed hitch on your 2024 Ford F-250. This will provide you with a 2-5/16" hitch ball which is offset 5" from the factory mounting location. You will also need a set of Chain Loops # C60691 since gooseneck trailers require safety chains.

  • Safety Chain Loops For 2023 Ford F-350 Factory Prep/Puck System and Gen-Y Offset Gooseneck Ball
    The Curt Safety Chain Loops # C60691 are the loops which will fit your 2023 Ford F-350 with the OEM puck system. This will allow you to connect your safety chains when using the Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # GY43XR.

  • Gooseneck Hitch Ball For Factory In Bed Tow Package On 2024 Ford F-350
    Yes, we have the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061 which will fit into the factory bed mounts on your 2024 Ford F-350. This is my favorite option since it uses the folding handle rather than a small lever built into the hitch ball which gets covered in Lube # 58117. We also have a Offset Ball # GY43XR for additional clearance if you have a short bed. This would also require Safety Chain Loops # C60691 since they are not included like with the B&W option.

  • Offset Gooseneck For 2023 Ford F-250 With Factory Gooseneck/5th Wheel Pucks
    We do have an offset gooseneck that will fit your 2023 Ford F-250 Super Duty, but the part you mentioned is not a fit for your truck. Instead, what you will need is the following: - Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Ford OEM Puck Systems - 5" Offset # GY43XR The # GY43XR actually fits in the puck system of your truck and provides the same 5" offset as the part you asked about.

  • Offset Gooseneck For 2023 Ford F-250 or F-350 Super Duty With OEM Puck System
    There is an option for an offset gooseneck for your 2023 Ford F-250 or F-350 Super Duty with the OEM puck system, but it isn't just the hitch ball. Technically it's a gooseneck hitch and gives you 5 inches of offset; the hitch is from Gen-Y and is the following part number: - Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Ford OEM Puck Systems # GY43XR The # GY43XR has a 25,000 lb capacity and fits right in the pucks of your Ford. I verified this fit directly with Gen-Y for you.

  • Will Offset Ford OEM Puck Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Lighten Front Axle of Tow Vehicle
    Yes, since the Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Ford OEM Puck Systems # GY43XR has a 5" offset it will place the pin weight 2-1/2" behind the current center of your gooseneck hitch ball. This does means the front axle will be prone to less weight on it than it currently has, but it won't be affecting your driving performance to where it's dangerous to drive.

    Yes, it will! The 5" Offset Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch item # GY43XR is specially designed to work with the Ford factory puck system.

  • Gen-Y 5th Wheel To Gooseneck Pin Box For A 2023 Grand Design Reflection 341RDS
    Hi Vince, Gen-Y switched production to the newer Snap Latch in December 2023 so anything manufactured from January 2024 and forward would come with the new latch. This is a direct-ship item so you'd be getting it directly from the factory, which would lead to a greater chance that you'll get the Snap Latch since we almost a few months into the year. To determine if this is the correct fit for your Reflection you'll need to determine the bolt pattern for the trailer as well as the fully...

    Hey Jeff, so the offset B and W ball part # BWGNXA4085 that you referenced does not fit the OEM gooseneck hitch of your 2023 Ford F-350 as it was designed for B and W aftermarket hitches. Instead you would want the Curt # C68ZV for a 4 inch offset option or the Gen-Y part # GY43XR for a 5 inch. These are only two options that fit.

    Hey Michael, the Grand Design Reflection 100 series 27BH that you are interested in has a Lippert 1621 style pin box so the Goose Box you would want is the part # RP94716 which was designed to fit it. The part # RP94716-61301 is same Goose Box but it comes with spacers to fit a wider application so it would technically still work but you wouldn't need the spacers it comes with.
