- Advantages of Using Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection # AM3225 Versus Other Adapters
- The Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection you mentioned, part # AM3225 is an adapter used to tow a fifth wheel trailer with a gooseneck hitch equipped truck.

- What are the Differences Between Hitches 16310 and V70881
- According to my contact at Curt, the X5 does not require a support kit because it has the rails and attachments needed as part of the assembly. It sits flush with the bed so it does not need a separate subkit because the subkit is already installed.
