PSAUTO Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter 12"–16" Adjustable Height, Cushioned Shock-Absorbing Converter

The PSAUTO cushioned adapter converts a fifth-wheel trailer to a gooseneck quickly while adding shock-absorbing protection and 12"–16" adjustable height control.

Convert your existing fifth-wheel hitch to a gooseneck configuration without replacing the trailer plate. This heavy-duty adapter is designed for easy installation, a secure locking mechanism, and a cushioned connection to reduce vibration and hitch wear. It fits a range of towing setups and gives you the flexibility to tow gooseneck trailers using the same truck bed space used for a fifth wheel.

How does the cushioned adapter improve towing comfort?

The PSAUTO adapter incorporates a shock-absorbing cushion between the kingpin and the gooseneck coupler to reduce impact transfer to the truck and trailer. That cushioning smooths out bumps and helps protect both hitch components and cargo from repeated jolts.

• Built-in elastomer or rubber cushion to dampen impact
• Reduces metal-to-metal shock and rattling
• Helps extend life of hitch and trailer front-end components
• Improves ride stability at low and moderate speeds

What range of height adjustment does this converter provide?

This adapter offers an adjustable height range from 12" to 16", letting you dial in the correct pin height to level most trailers. The adjustment mechanism is straightforward and locks securely so the hitch maintains the chosen height under load.

• 12"–16" adjustable height span for precise trailer leveling
• Simple threaded or pin-based locking for secure settings
• Works with common fifth-wheel kingpin sizes

How long does installation take and what tools are needed?

Installation is designed to be fast and user-friendly; many users can convert the hitch in minutes with basic hand tools. The adapter fits onto the trailer's existing kingpin and secures to the gooseneck coupler with provided hardware or standard fasteners.

• Typical install time: under 30 minutes for experienced users
• Requires basic hand tools: wrenches, torque wrench if specified
• No permanent modification to trailer plate required

Will this adapter fit my 5th wheel and gooseneck setup?

The PSAUTO adapter is built to accommodate standard fifth-wheel kingpins and common gooseneck couplers, but compatibility should be confirmed against your trailer specs. Check kingpin diameter and plate clearance to ensure a proper match before purchase.

• Designed for standard kingpin dimensions used on most trailers
• Measure plate clearance and trailer nose height before ordering
• Contact PSAUTO support for special-fit questions or uncommon setups
