Question:
I am looking at your product DM43TV and am curious if it can be easily converted to a fifth-wheel Ball Mount? Is there a product that can do both for my companys 2020 F-350 SRW truck?

Hey Paul, Gen-Y has a pretty cool hitch that can be used as both a fifth wheel and a gooseneck with their Advantage hitch like the part # GY53AV for if your Ford truck has above bed rails or the part # GY79VJ for if you have the Ford OEM puck system. When not used as a fifth wheel hitch you can slide the hitch back and below you'll find a gooseneck hitch ball. What trailers do you have?
The Demco you mentioned does not have a similar ability.
