Gooseneck Ball
Expert Take
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.

20K Companion Slider
A sliding 20K Companion that mounts on an existing gooseneck ball, giving short-bed trucks both fifth-wheel capability and turning clearance. The manual slide is the trade-off, but the cushioned head tows quiet and smooth.
