If you’re planning to tow with a gooseneck hitch or fifth wheel, it’s important to know whether your truck is puck system ready.
The OEM Puck System (also called the Gooseneck/Fifth-Wheel Towing Prep Package) is a factory-installed setup that simplifies the installation of towing kits — no additional drilling or mounting brackets needed.
How to Tell If Your Truck Has a Puck System
Here are 4 simple ways to check:
✅ 1. Check the Truck Bed
Look inside the bed of your truck. If you see five circular holes:
1 large hole in the center (for gooseneck ball)
4 smaller holes at each corner (for safety chain anchors)
Then yes — your truck has the puck system!
✅ 2. Verify Your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)
Enter your VIN into a vehicle lookup site (like Chevrolet VIN Decoder or Ford’s online tools) to see if your build sheet includes:
Fifth Wheel/Gooseneck Towing Prep Package
Factory Puck System Or similar terms
✅ 3. Review the Window Sticker or Owner’s Manual
Look for towing package options under installed features.
✅ 4. Contact Your Dealership
Give them your VIN and ask:
“Does my truck come with the factory puck system?”

Why It Matters
If your truck has the puck system, installing a gooseneck ball kit is as easy as dropping the ball in and locking it — no tools or drilling required.
