• 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. Also the rails on the Curt X5 Fifth Wheel Adapter for B&W Square Shank Turnover Ball Hitches, # 16310, have more openings for more 5th wheel installation options than the Valley B&W Gooseneck to Fifth Wheel Hitch Adapter Plate, # V70881.

• Can the Curt X5 Adapter be Used with a Pullrite Superglide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch
  
• The Curt X5 Fifth Wheel Adapter for B and W Square Shank Turnover Ball Hitches, # 16310, is designed for use with B and W square shank turnover ball hitches. We spoke with Curt and they stated the Pullrite 5th wheel hitch is not compatible with the X5. The reason is because the rails that are required for use with the Pullrite 18k Hitch are of a completely design than what comes on this # 16310. The rails on the pull rite are more of a male connector style while the hitch is female. Wherea

• Can the Curt X5 5th Wheel Adapter for BW Square Turnover Hitches Be Used With a Curt Q5 Slider
  
• It is possible to use the Curt X5 Fifth Wheel Adapter for B and W Square Shank Turnover Ball Hitches, # 16310, with a Curt Q5 slider. But unless you have a B and W hitch installed on your 1999 Ford Super Duty, I recommend using the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit, # C16443-204. I have included a link to the installation details for this kit below. There is also a combined Curt Q5 Slider and installation kit together.

• 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter for an Under Bed Mounted Gooseneck Trailer Hitch on a Ford F-250
  
• I did some research on that part number as it might apply to a gooseneck hitch. One website I came across listed 62104 as a Draw-Tite Hide-A-Goose under bed gooseneck hitch. The part on our page is # 9460-48. If it is a Draw-Tite Hide-A-Goose, then the Curt X-5, # 16310, will not fit. If you want to add a 5th wheel trailer hitch, you can use the Hi-Rise Gooseneck to Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch, # 9480. This 5th wheel trailer hitch fits B and W Turnover Balls, Hide-A-Goose from Draw-Tite, Hidden Hi

• Offset Needed to Provide Clearance When Towing a 5th Wheel Trailer with a 2006 3500 Dodge Mega Cab
  
• The Curt X5 Fifth Wheel Adapter for B and W Square Shank Turnover Ball Hitches, item # 16310 is not available in an offset configuration. You have two options for converting your B and W gooseneck hitch to tow a fifth-wheel trailer. The first option is to use a fifth wheel to gooseneck adapter like the Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter w/8" Offset for Short-Bed Trucks, item # AM3139. The Ranch hitch is height adjustable and provides 8 extra inches of offset beh

• Will the Curt X5 Fifth Wheel Adapter work on a 2009 Ram 3500 with BW Turnover Ball Gooseneck Hitch
  
• Yes, the Curt X5 Fifth Wheel Adapter, item # 16310, is designed for use with B&W square shank turnover ball hitches, and standard base fifth-wheel hitches, so it will work great with your Draw-Tite 15 K slider hitch. Going with an installation kit like the Reese Semi Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit, item # RP30035-186, will also work, but would require removal of the B and W gooseneck hitch.

• Is the CURT X5 5th Wheel Adapter Compatible with a Pullrite Superglide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch
  
• I spoke with my contact at CURT about the X5, # 16310. He could not confirm a fit for the Pullrite Superglide 5th wheel hitch as they have not been tested together. However, he did provide me with the mounting tab spacing for you to compare to your hitch to determine fit. The mounting slots for the tabs on the 5th wheel measure 22 inches front to back on center. From left to right on each rail, the slots furthest out are 29 inches apart on center. The next set in are 21-1/2 inches apart on

• Will Trailer Side to Side Movement Raise the Rails on the CURT X5 Adapter and Damage the Truck Bed
  
• It is unlikely that the movement of the 5th wheel trailer would be able to move the rails to such a degree as to damage the truck bed. The rails on the CURT X5 Fifth Wheel Adapter, # 16310, are not like regular rails. They have extra steel on the bottoms to create more surface area contact. This spreads the weight and pressure to a larger area. Combine that with the downward weight of the hitch and trailer and the fact that the adapter is pinned, and it is very improbable there will be damag

• Gooseneck to 5th Wheel or 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Options for a Lifted Truck
  
• With a lifted truck, it will be a tight fit, but I may have a couple of options for you. First, take a look at the Hi-Rise Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter, # 9480. This will fit a B and W Turnover style gooseneck hitch. The hitch height is adjustable from 14-1/4 inches to 18 inches. You will need to measure from the bottom of the pin box (not the king pin) to the top of the bed to determine if this height is too much or not enough. Another option is a 5th wheel to gooseneck a
