Yes, you can add a capture plate to the Ram Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter item # KPG5-Q30IP. However, we don't carry the capture plate you'll need for this. It is the universal capture plate from Pullrite 3317.

The ball extension part #BWGNXA4085 actually gives more clearance than a gooseneck coupler extension. Reason being that with the ball extension you move the pivot point back but with the coupler extension the offset's additional clearance…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Choosing the right height setting for your 5th wheel hitch is a combination of a few different variables. First of all you want your towing setup to be as level as possible. With your Montana High Country 340BH level you will want to measure from the…

Yes, the puck system used on the 2016-2019 Chevy/GMC trucks is different than the pucks used on the 2020 and newer trucks. So you would need a 5th wheel like the B&W Companion #BWRVK3710 for your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 with an 8' Bed. If you…

Since we don't carry the PullRite line I can't really speak to their quality but from what I can see from there website their 2900 model is fairly similar to the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider #DM89GV. Both hitches offer 14"…

The Ram OEM 5th wheel puck system, shown in the linked photo and article, was launched in 2013 so what you have in your truck is likely to be an aftermarket installation of some kind. These newer Ram trucks with the factory prep can directly accept a…
