The Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System part # AM3200 comes with a king pin coupler adapter that gets installed on the pin box of the trailer via bolts/nuts and then allows for you to attach to the hitch ball on the hitch.

Please note that this system is not designed for trucks with beds shorter than 6' long.
