Question:
Will the fifth wheel gooseneck adapter / demco/gooseneck hitch to Fifth wheel trailer fit a 2022 2500 factory hide away ball pickup truck duramax diesel 4 wheel drive? Part DM8550046

Expert Reply:
Hello Joe, thanks for reaching out. The Demco # DM8550046 you mentioned is for a flatbed truck with a recessed gooseneck ball so this would not work for your setup. Instead what you will want is the following:
- Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Single Jaw - 21,000 lbs # DM8550045
This is the model that will work with standard gooseneck balls, like the one in your Chevy 2500. It will work with virtually any 2-5/16" gooseneck ball.

Hey Joe, did the Demco Recon adapter work out for your Chevy 2500? I'm curious to know because it could help others with similar trucks.
