Hey Ryan,
If both of your trucks have a standard gooseneck ball a hitch like the Demco Recon # DM8550045 could be an interchangeable fit. If both trucks had a B&W Turnoverball hitch you could go with a fifth wheel hitch like the Companion # BWRVK3500.
If both trucks have base rails to mount a 5th wheel hitch you can go with one like the B&W Patriot # BW58XR. You'll want to check the GVWR of your trailer to ensure this is rated high enough for the trailer. If it's not let me know and I can recommend a higher rated option.
If both trucks have the same factory puck system then we could also find a compatible OEM base so that you can easily swap the hitch back and forth. Let me know the year/make/model of both and I can confirm.
