Question:
I just bought a 2025 GMC 2500 HD, with the Max Tow package. The OEM goose ball sit approximately 4inch behind the rear axle. I am purchasing the Blue Ox 2100 from my RV dealer, and they are going to use a standard goose ball. This item looks like a more secure option than the standard goose ball. Is this true, and if so, will this adaptor and 5th wheel hitch work with my OEM setup?
