{"product_id":"blue-ox-fifth-wheel-hitch-bxr2100","title":"Blue Ox 5th Wheel Hitch, Gooseneck Mount BXR2100","description":"\u003cp\u003eMade to sit on most 2-5\/16\" gooseneck balls, the Blue Ox BXR2100 fifth wheel hitch is rated to pull 21,000 lb gross with up to 5,000 lb of vertical load on the head. It suits truck owners who already have a gooseneck ball in the bed and want to tow a fifth wheel without adding rails, though a high-rise gooseneck ball is not compatible. It is a two-piece design, a 74 lb base and a 51 lb head, with a funnel-shaped head that guides the kingpin in, full 360° kingpin nesting, front-to-back and side-to-side articulation, and head heights of 17\", 18\" or 19\". The 360° nesting helps prevent a false hookup, a key part of the Blue Ox head design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMounts on a Gooseneck Ball\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe base sits on most 2-5\/16\" gooseneck balls already in the truck bed, so no rails are needed.
