Question:

Hello, I have a 22 f150 with 5.5 ft bed. I have a gooseneck installed in it.could you please recommend me a gooseneck to 5th wheel adapter with the proper offset for my bed/cab. Thank you very much. Damien.

Hey Damien, so there isn't a fifth wheel to gooseneck adapter that would provide enough clearance since you have such a short bed. Fifth wheels have a much wider nose and you'd end up needing something like 22 inches of additional offset/clearance to make a tight turn and no adapter will have that.

If you are serious about towing a fifth wheel trailer you'd need to remove the gooseneck and go with a Demco Hijacker fifth wheel part # DM8550040 which automatically slides back 22 inches and a fifth wheel rail kit part # DM8552028-71.

Hey Damien, how did things work out after switching from the gooseneck setup to the Demco Hijacker and rail kit? Your results could really help others trying to tow a fifth wheel with a short-bed F-150.
