Updated 06/04/2025 | Published 05/28/2025

Question:

Im searching for guidance from your technician team. I have a 2022 RAM 3500 with a cargo weight of 3720, Im looking for a gooseneck hitch to tow a fifth wheel with 2670 hitch weight, can you recommend me a good gooseneck hitch comfortable for towing that is in between 100lbs total to 180lbs?

Hey Marixa. To add a gooseneck hitch to your 2022 Ram 3500, I recommend the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit item # BWGNRK1320. This gooseneck hitch installs with custom fit brackets that bolt directly to pre-existing holes in your Ram's frame. It has a 30,000 lbs capacity with a 7,500 lbs vertical load limit. (tongue weight)

It sounds like you also need a 5th wheel hitch. I have two options that work with the Turnoverball Gooseneck System item # BWGNRK1320. One has a slider base for making tight turns if your truck has a short bed. The other is a standard 5th wheel hitch. I have listed them below:

Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch - B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter item # BWRVK3500

Standard 5th Wheel Hitch - B&W Companion Slider Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter item # BWRVK3400

What kind of 5th wheel trailer do you have and how long is your truck bed? You can add this information and any other questions you have in the box below that says Reply to Jerred H.

I am buying a Grand Design Influence, it is 38ft long, they have quote me for installation for the B&W gooseneck ball, but I went with the Andersen gen 3 to make sure my payload is low and I have at least 250lb of cushion. I only have 3720 payload even though my axle combination is rated for 13000lbs (6k front and 7k back). Any recommendations are highly appreciated for my new experience!

@Marixa The Andersen Aluminum Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection 2 Gooseneck version item # 3220 is compatible with the B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck System item # BWGNRK1320. It'll give you 3-1/2" of offset so not much turning clearance if you have a shorted bed compared to the 12" of travel the B&W Companion Slider Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter item # BWRVK3400 has. What additional recommendations are you looking for?

@JerredH How much does this hitch that you recommend for better clearance weights? My concern is that my pin weight (adding my current weight and not the GVWR) multiplying it by 20% is to close to my max payload, that’s why I had to do the 35lbs, now if I use 18-19% I have more payload available.

@JerredH Is there any gooseneck hitch that gives me more clearance for turning since I have a short bed, that weights less than 200lbs?
