What Brand Gooseneck Ball will Work in My OEM Prep Package 2025 GMC 2500 to Use Demco Recon?
Updated 09/15/2025 | Published 08/29/2025
Question:
I have a 2025 Gmc 2500 hd. I use the demco recon 5th wheel to gooseball hitch. It will not work on the puck system with taller ball. Is there a shorter ball to fit my puck mount?

Hello Keith,
Congrats on the new 2025 Sierra! What’s your favorite feature so far?
The Reese Elite Series Pop-In Ball Kit for GM Underbed Gooseneck Hitch # RP23FR will be your best bet. It’s the shortest hitch ball we carry for your 2025 GMC Sierra 2500. I’ve attached an image with the dimensions so you can compare it to what you already have.

Hey Keith, did the Reese Elite Series Pop-In Ball Kit work out for your 2025 Sierra? I'm curious to know if it solved the issue with the taller ball, as it could help others facing the same challenge.
