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.

Reese
Reese M5 32K Fifth Wheel Hitch — RAM Puck
Reese
Reese M5 27K Fifth Wheel Hitch — RAM Puck
$1,711
A 27K M5 keyed to RAM's puck system, so it lifts in and out by hand once seated. The dual-jaw head keeps the kingpin snug and chucking low, a strong all-around pick for RAM 2500/3500 owners hauling a heavier rig.
B&W
25K Companion
$1,399
This is the benchmark 25K puck-mount Companion that every other fifth wheel gets measured against. It drops into factory pucks, pops out with a lever when you want your bed back, and tows dead quiet thanks to the cushioned, fully-articulating head.
PullRite
25K OEX SuperLite
$1,728
The 25K OEX SuperLite is the lighter-weight version of the OEX puck hitch, still good for 25,000 lbs and easier on your back at install. Ride is solid if a hair less plush than the heavier Super 5th, and the value is a little friendlier.
PullRite
25K OEX Super 5th
$1,648
A 25K OEX Super 5th fixed head for puck-equipped trucks, delivering the full-strength build and minimal chucking PullRite is known for. Great capability and a tidy puck install, but it sits at the premium end of the price range.
PullRite
24K SuperGlide
$2,505
The 24K SuperGlide is the gold standard for short-bed trucks, automatically sliding the hitch back when you turn so the trailer clears the cab without you touching a thing. It drops into factory pucks and tows incredibly smooth; the auto-slide mechanism is the trade you make on a slightly fussier install.
Demco
21K Autoslide
$2,940
A 21K Autoslide puck-mount built for short-bed rigs that need clearance in sharp turns without a manual slide. It does its job at a reasonable price, though the sliding hardware makes it heavier to set and the ride is middle-of-the-road.
B&W
20K Companion Slider
$1,699
A 20K sliding Companion aimed at short-bed owners who need extra turning clearance between cab and trailer. The slider adds a step at install and a manual move before sharp turns, but the head still tows cushioned and quiet.
Reese
Reese M5 20K Fifth Wheel Hitch — RAM Puck
$1,560
A 20K M5 set up for RAM's factory puck system on 2500/3500 trucks, dropping in without bed rails. The dual-jaw head tows quietly and the capacity suits the bulk of fifth wheels out there, a smart everyday pick for RAM owners.
Demco
18K Autoslide
$2,489
An 18K Autoslide puck-mount aimed at short-bed owners who want auto cab-clearance without manual sliding. Solid value for the auto-slide feature, but it's heavier to mount than a fixed head and ride quality is middling.
Step 1: Puck-to-rail adapter
Drops into your pucks, gives you standard rails on top.
Step 2: Pick a rail-mount hitch
Once you have the adapter, any of these will work.
Curt
Curt A25 Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch (25K, short bed)
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.
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 1: Puck-to-rail adapter
Drops into your pucks, gives you rails.
Step 3: Gooseneck Pinbox
Replace your trailer's pinbox.

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.
Curt
Curt Helux Coil-Spring Gooseneck Pin Box
5 versions — picked by your trailer's pin box and weight

Note
Ball on rails has no clearance underneath, so Gooseneck Fifth Wheel adapters won't work. You'll need a gooseneck pinbox on your trailer.
Choose how to tow your fifth wheel
You want your bed back when not towing — the ball sits flush. On a short bed the two ways to hook up use a different ball, so pick your route below.
Option A · Step 1: Gooseneck ball for your pucks
Drops into your factory pucks for a standard (centered) ball — the only extra part you buy. A single-point hitch needs a standard ball; an offset ball won't work with it.

Option A · Step 2: Single-point 5th-wheel hitch
A single-point 5th-wheel hitch clamps onto your new ball. Keep your trailer stock — quick to set up, adds some height.
PullRite
24K Super 5th
$1,123
The 24K Super 5th here mounts onto an existing gooseneck ball, turning a gooseneck-equipped truck into a 24,000-lb fifth-wheel rig without rails. Premium build and a quiet ride, and it's an easy drop-on if you've already got the ball in the bed.
Demco
Demco Recon 21K Flat Deck Fifth Wheel Hitch (Recessed Gooseneck Ball)
This Recon 21K Flat Deck mounts a fifth wheel onto a recessed gooseneck ball, keeping the bed flat when the hitch is off. Easy to drop onto an existing ball at a fair price, though it's fixed-head only and the tow is solid without being smooth.
Demco
Demco Recon 21K Gooseneck Ball-Mount Fifth Wheel Hitch
The Recon 21K Gooseneck Ball-Mount lets you run a fifth wheel off any existing 2-5/16in gooseneck ball, so it drops on without a rail or puck install. Versatile and good value, but it's a fixed head with no cushioning and articulation is just adequate.
PullRite
20K SuperLite
$1,015
The 20K SuperLite is a lighter gooseneck-ball fifth-wheel head that drops onto an existing ball for a 20,000-lb tow with no rails required. Easier to handle than the Super 5th and a bit cheaper, with only a slight give in ride smoothness.
Demco
Demco Recon Stealth 20K Folding Gooseneck Ball-Mount Fifth Wheel Hitch
The Recon Stealth 20K is a folding gooseneck ball-mount that sets a fifth wheel onto any 2-5/16in ball and folds down for a clear bed. Handy and well-priced for ball-mount towing, but the 20K fixed head trades a bit of capacity and ride polish versus dedicated puck units.
Option B · Step 1: Offset gooseneck ball
Drops into your pucks with a 4-5" offset so your trailer clears the cab on tight turns. Curt fits any factory puck; Gen-Y is truck-specific. Offset balls only work with a gooseneck pinbox — not the single-point hitch above.

This 32K M5 is keyed to RAM's factory puck system on 2015-plus 2500/3500 trucks, so it levers in and out without bed rails. The dual-jaw grip is firm and the ride is smooth, but it's serious overkill unless you're pulling something genuinely heavy.
