Does your trailer have a rotational pinbox?
Brands like Turning Point or Sidewinder. These rotate to give your truck cab clearance during tight turns.
Good to know: With a rotational pinbox, you can use a fixed hitch instead of a slider. Gooseneck Fifth Wheel adapters won't work with rotational pinboxes.

Curt
Curt A25 Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch (25K, short bed)
PullRite
24K SuperGlide
$2,163
The 24K SuperGlide rail version brings PullRite's automatic short-bed slider to trucks set up with standard rails, self-sliding on turns for full cab clearance. Tows great for 24,000 lbs, but you need the rails installed and the auto-slide head is heavy.
PullRite
24K ISRX Super 5th
$1,444
The 24K ISRX Super 5th is a fixed rail-mount head designed for ISR rail systems, rating 24,000 lbs with the premium Super 5th build. Solid and quiet on the road, provided your bed already has the ISR rails to bolt it to.
PullRite
24K ISRX SuperLite
$1,564
The 24K ISRX SuperLite is the lighter rail-mount option for ISR-equipped beds, keeping the 24,000-lb rating while shaving weight for an easier lift. Ride is a touch less plush than the Super 5th, and the value tips slightly more in your favor.
Curt
Curt Q25 Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch (24K, short bed)
A 24K Q-Series sliding fifth wheel for short beds, bolting to standard rails and sliding manually to give your trailer cab clearance in tight spots. The dual-pivot head rides smoother than the A-Series, but the manual slider means climbing in the bed to set it.
Demco
Demco Hijacker 21K Autoslide Fifth Wheel Hitch (Above-Bed)
The Hijacker 21K Autoslide is an above-bed rail-mount auto-slider that clears the cab in turns for short-bed trucks. The combo of rails and auto-slide makes it the fussiest Demco to set up, but it handles 21K and keeps short-bed towing safe at a fair price.
PullRite
20K SuperGlide
$1,765
The 20K SuperGlide rail unit is the auto-sliding short-bed solution for rail-equipped trucks pulling up to 20,000 lbs. It moves the pivot automatically on turns to keep the trailer off the cab; you'll need rails in the bed and the slider adds heft.
PullRite
20K SuperLite
$723
The 20K SuperLite is a lighter rail-mount fixed head rated for 20,000 lbs, easier to wrestle in and out than the Super 5th while keeping strong build quality. It bolts to standard rails and tows well, trading a little ride refinement for the lower weight.
Curt
Curt A20 Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch (20K, short bed)
A 20K A-Series sliding fifth wheel built for short-bed trucks, mounting to standard rails and sliding manually for cab clearance in sharp turns. Good value and a full-articulation head, with the usual short-bed slider trade-off of more hands-on hookup.
B&W
18K Patriot Slider
$899
A sliding 18K Patriot for short-bed trucks running standard rails, giving you turning clearance without stepping up to a Companion. The slider mechanism makes install and use a bit more involved, and the ride is good but not cushioned-head smooth.
Demco
Demco Hijacker 18K Autoslide Fifth Wheel Hitch (Above-Bed)
An 18K Hijacker Autoslide that mounts above the bed on rails and auto-shifts in tight turns for short-bed rigs. Solid value for an auto-slider, but the above-bed rail setup plus slide hardware makes install the heaviest lift in the lineup.
Demco
Demco Hijacker 18K Autoslide Fifth Wheel Hitch with Rails
This 18K Hijacker Autoslide comes with rails for a complete short-bed auto-slide package. It clears the cab automatically in sharp turns and prices well, though wrestling rails and the slide mechanism into place makes setup a bigger job.
PullRite
16K SuperGlide
$1,515
The 16K SuperGlide rail version automatically slides on turns for short-bed cab clearance, sized for 16,000-lb trailers on rail-equipped trucks. Smooth, safe towing once you've got the rails installed, with the slider mechanism adding weight.
Curt
Curt A16 Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch (16K, short bed)
A 16K A-Series sliding fifth wheel for short-bed trucks, bolting to standard rails and sliding manually to clear the cab in tight turns. The articulating head and price make it a strong value, though the manual slide adds a step at hookup.
Curt
Curt E16 Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch (16K, short bed)
A 16K E-Series sliding fifth wheel for short beds, mounting to standard rails with a single-pivot head and a manual slide for cab clearance. It's the budget short-bed option, capable but noisier and less articulating than the A-Series slider.
Demco
Demco Hijacker 13K Autoslide Fifth Wheel Hitch (Above-Bed)
The Hijacker 13K Autoslide is the light-duty above-bed auto-slider for half-tons pulling smaller fifth wheels in short beds. The 13K rating keeps it to lighter trailers, and while the auto-slide adds install effort, it's an affordable way to tow safely with limited bed length.
Step 2: Gooseneck Pinbox
Replace your trailer's pinbox with a gooseneck-compatible one.

Reese Goose Box
2 versions — picked by your trailer's pin box and weight
The Gen 3 Goose Box (20K) swaps your trailer's pin box for an air-ride gooseneck coupler, freeing up the truck bed entirely. The air cushion smooths the ride and cuts chucking, making it the standout pin-box conversion if you'd rather pull a fiver off a gooseneck ball.

Why not Gooseneck Fifth Wheel?
Ball on rails has no clearance underneath for the clamp mechanism. You'll need a gooseneck pinbox on your trailer instead.

A 25K A-Series sliding fifth wheel for short-bed trucks, bolting to standard rails and sliding manually to clear the cab in tight turns. The articulating head and value are strong, though the slider takes more effort than a fixed head and a bit more to install.
