We have the Gen-Y Executive 5th wheel king pin and love it. I went with it in 2020 so it would work with our Pull-Rite auto slider for truck clearance while turning. They have a bolt on block to work with the Pull-Rite so you don’t have to use and fight with the Pull-Rite plate. Back then they did not have any rearward off set gooseneck balls for clearance so I didn’t even consider it. After feeling what it was like towing prior to installing the Gen-Y, I am completely a believer and major fan of Gen-Y! I called them and order directly and got a military discount as well.
Brinkley uses Gen-Y. Here is a video where they ran independent testing.
