Hey Jeffrey! Yes, you can use the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G with the factory puck system in your 2022 Ram 3500.

The one thing we don't recommend is using it with a hitch ball that has the integrated lever sitting on top of the ball like the Curt # C60618. That lever can end up damaged with this adapter, so you want to use a ball like the B&W # BWGNXA2062 instead.

What kind of trailer are you towing?

Thank you very much Robin that was very helpful. I am pulling a 2020 Grand Design Reflection 303 rls.

@JeffreyR you're welcome! If you're just looking for a basic gooseneck conversion for your Reflection, another good option is the Gen-Y Nomad. This is a replacement pin box, but without the higher cost from their torsion models. This keeps everything nice and solid as one piece instead of adding the adapter onto your existing pin box king pin. We have the following based on bolt pattern: -Gen-Y Hitch Nomad 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box - 1621,1116, 1716 # GY57ND -Gen-Y Hitch Nomad 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box - Lippert Rhino # GY37ND -Gen-Y Hitch Nomad 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box - Lippert Turning Point # GY96EQ The 1116 and 1716 would also require shims # GY76FR and you would want safety chains # GY49GR to complete the setup.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Hey Jerry, GM moved the placement of their puck systems starting with 2020 models so you are correct that the pucks would have the hitch not sit directly over the axle. GM did the math and made sure that this placement wouldn't adversely affect…
