Hardest part was removing the fifth wheel hitch from the cross bracket due to it being so heavy. The gooseneck adapter was a breeze to install and works flawlessly.

Zero issues out of my gooseneck trailer hitch. Works great for both the stock trailer and the side dump hay trailer.



by:

fast service, I called them to make sure I ordered the correct parts. Customer service was very helpful. I'm only going to order parts from them.



by:

Great product at a great price. Needed a gooseneck for occasional hauling but didn't want to lose my 5th wheel rails and this fit the bill. Had to loosen the bolts on one rail to get it to sit in place but was a 10 min fix. Had about 10k behind me so far through various terrains and it has done nothing other than what it is intended for. Can't say enough about customer service either, any question i had they had helpful advice and were nothing but nice. Would reccomend this product and ETrailer to anyone in need.

I am still loving it. Use it very often with our horse trailer and stock trailer. Has been every where and done every thing i have asked of it with no issues. Still happy with the purchase and glad i went with this product.



by:

I was looking for a way to shift my 5 th Wheel gooseneck hitch back b/c it was hitting my toolbox. Because I had a Ford with the factory installed hitch this was the only option. R Trailer walked me through what I needed and it worked great!

I have been pulling a 40 foot, 14,000 pound RV with this hitch without any issues. I would recommend it to anyone.

Excellent



by:

2012 Ford F-250 - Fast shipping and easy to follow directions we’re included. Bed rails and side plates lined up perfectly. My bed has the line x bed liner so I added 1/8” for setting the first rail. I highly recommend using a step bit to drill your holes for the rails. No drilling was required on the frame. This was completed by myself in about 4 hours with no lift. Definitely could be completed faster with another hand or lift. Measure several times and drill once and everything will line up great.



by:

Received the Curt bent plate gooseneck hitch in less than a week and it fit right in the existing fifth wheel rails. Really like this hitch and with it I am going to be able to salvage a trailer that hasn't been on the road since 1994 that would have ended up as scrap metal otherwise! Thank you etrailer for the prompt and reliable service.



by:

Fits my rails perfectly



by:

Works better than expected with a short bed truck, the gooseneck trailer I have is not adjustable and is mainly for flatbed use only but with this hitch and rail setup I’m not concerned about rubbing on the bed sides or tailgate, I also have more than enough clearance for tight Maneuvers.



by:

Since being installed on my truck I have been able to rely on the hitch with zero problems, every time. Plenty of ease trading it out for my fifth wheel hitch and back again. Thank you for such a great product!!



by:

Great hitch. Followed directions and excellent install videos from your website. First time installing one and had no issues. Fast shipping also.



by:

Quick drop into my 5th wheel rails and now I’m ready to pull a Goose neck trailer, couldn’t be easier.



by:

Super fast shipping and dropped right into my 5th rails. Didn’t even have to pull the 5th wheel hitch to install it. Took about 5 minutes. Heavy packaging ensued the hitch was in excellent shape.
I haven’t drilled the one bolt they recommend but will do it, should be simple and easy to get to.
Couldn’t be easier. Highly recommend!



by:

Easy to order and fast to ship. Just put the product in and had to do some grinding on the tabs so it would go down in the holes. After that it fit just fine and looks great.

The product is still in my truck and gets used daily. Works great and haven’t had a problem with it.



by:

I received my order within days and opened the box and in 5 minutes dropped it into place. Currently have a 16k fifth wheel attachment on a Reese foundation. The gooseneck plate fit just like it was made for it. No tools required. This now makes my F-250 more adaptable to different trailers.



by:

Received my hitch in the mail on Tuesday, and had it installed in under 90 seconds into my existing rails. Great, solid and sturdy construction. Excellent finish. Will be used to haul 4 - 6 horse aluminum GN trailer.

Good quality easy installation

by:

This ball is heavy duty and super easy to install. I store it mounted by two of the pins forward of the Fifthwheel. When I use the goose neck I just swap the ball and fifth wheels places.



by:

Works well. Defiantly better than installing a gooseneck under the bed hitch. You can swap the plate over to a fifth wheel plate with ease. 2 birds one stone. Defiantly recommend

Great product great price!! Now I can tow goose neck trailers as well as fifth wheel trailers with my other hitch assemble!!!

Very happy so far! Received in less then a week from the day I ordered it. Fit excellent in my 5th wheel rails. I will be testing it out this weekend on my 37ft camper.

  • Will Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Need to be Modified to Fit Base Rails
    Thanks for reaching out, Laurie! I looked through the feedback we've gotten from customers concerning the Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # 16055 and I only saw one instance where someone said they needed to modify the tabs. It's safe to say this is very uncommon and you won't have to modify the plate or tabs in any way as long as you have industry standard base rails in your truck. Attached is a photo of the dimensions for industry standard rails that you can use to reference...

  • Recommended Gooseneck Hitch For 2005 Dodge Ram 2500
    For your 2005 Ram 2500, I recommend the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit - 30,000 lbs, # BWGNRK1313. This is a custom fit for your truck that will give you a gooseneck hitch that will keep your truck bed clean when not in use. If you want 5th wheel rails, I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50140-58. This is a custom fit system for your truck.

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Kit, Slider Hitch and Gooseneck Adapter for 1991 Ford F-350 Short Bed
    The two adapters you mentioned fit fifth wheel rail kits and give you a gooseneck hitch ball. There would be no way to use one of the plate adapters and a fifth wheel slider at the same times. But if you can email me back with more info on what you are planning on towing I can see what you'd need. If I am understanding you correctly you want a set of fifth wheel rails so that you can tow a fifth wheel trailer and then an adapter to allow you to tow a gooseneck hitch?

  • Spacing of Mounting Tabs On Curt # 16055 Bed Rail Mounted Gooseneck Hitch
    The mounting tabs of the Curt item # 16055 Bed Rail Mounted Gooseneck Hitch are compatible with industry-standard bed rails from Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Reese, Valley and Husky. If any of these companies manufactured your bed rails, the Curt # 16055 would work great for you. Center of tab to center of tab, the mounting tabs are 10 inches apart, side to side. Center of tab front to back is approximately 22 inches apart, 21-15/32 inches to be exact. See the photo I've linked for you.

  • Adapters to Allow Towing Gooseneck Trailer with 5th Wheel Hitch and Base Rails
    If you have a set of industry-standard above-bed 5th wheel base rails in your truck you can tow a gooseneck trailer by installing an adapter such as the Curt Spyder # 16085 or the Curt 25k # 16055. All of these 5th wheel rail gooseneck adapters are standardized to fit into any brand of 5th wheel base rails. Note that some of these like the Pro Series have offset ball placement which gives you the option to install the plate with the ball either more forward or more rearward which alters...

    The Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter - 20,000 lbs # AM3200 can work with any standard 5th wheel base rails. There is not a custom fit for your 2002 Chevy Avalanche, so you would need to use the universal base rails # RP30035. You will want to pay attention to your maximum towing capacity and your payload capacity as you will be close to your vehicle limits with this combination prior to loading your trailer. Any hitch other than this lightweight...

  • Offset Gooseneck for 2021 Ford F-350 Short Bed With OEM 5TH Wheel Gooseneck Hitch
    The best option for you would be a B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler # BWTEXA4200. It will give you an extra 10" clearance between your trailer and the cab of your 2021 Ford F-350. This fits standard 4" diameter outer tubes. There are no offset gooseneck balls for any factory in bed towing kits. This is due to the hitch not having a locking pin that would physically prevent the ball from turning. I recommend B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061 as it is one of the simplest to...

  • Is There an Offset Gooseneck Hitch Ball For a 2012 Ford F-350 Short Bed With Factory Puck System?
    Gen-Y currently only shows their 5" Offset # GY43XR only fitting the 2017 and newer Ford Super Duty trucks. I have included a drawing with the dimensions for this below you can check and see if it will fit your 2012 Ford F-350. If not another option would be to use a Rail Adapter # C88KR with an Offset Ball # 16055. Based on information I could find online I see the 2024 Brinkley Z3100 is going to come with a Lippert Rhino pin box. If this is what you have you will need the Gen-Y Hitch...

  • Gooseneck Trailer Compatibility with 1995 Ford F-150
    The Brophy Ball Mount - 7" Rise, 8" Drop - 15-1/4" Long - Aluminum - 8,000 lbs # EA80 is only rated for a tongue weight of 800 lbs which most trailer hitch receivers won't be able to handle but most gooseneck trailers will exceed. Gooseneck trailers typically use the 2-5/16 inch hitch ball like # SC30-C that is also the size used with larger bumper pull trailers, however it is not recommended to tow a gooseneck trailer behind your bumper as they are designed to be towed over the rear axle...

  • Correct Curt 5th Wheel Install Kit for a 2020 Ram 3500
    The correct Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for a 2020 Ram 3500 is part # C16430-204. The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit is a custom bolt-on fit with no cutting or drilling required into the frame. If you don't already have a fifth wheel hitch, the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16140 is my recommendation because of the interlocking dual jaw system which has a tight grip on the king pin and works to reduce chucking and jarring.

  • Does Curt Fifth Wheel Rail to Gooseneck Hitch Adapter 16055 Fit Same Rails a Pro Series Hitch Fits
    Yes, the Curt gooseneck hitch adapter part # 16055 will fit perfectly into the rails you have in the bed of your truck that currently has a Pro Series 16k fifth wheel hitch. The rails your hitch and this adapter are designed to fit are the exact same size/dimension. I attached a picture of the adapter installed in a set of rails like you have now as well plus a link to a review video.

  • Would the Curt Gooseneck to Fifth Wheel Adapter part # 16055 Fit Husky Fifth Wheel Rails
    Do the fifth wheel rails in the bed of your truck have three sets of mounting slots? The Curt Adapter part # 16055 that you referenced is designed to mount to the inner most slots that measure 9-15/16 inches apart. I attached a picture that has the dimensions of the slots. This adapter is designed to fit the industry standard fifth wheel rails so most likely it would work well for you.

  • Offset Gooseneck Ball for 2021 Ram 3500 With OEM In Bed Prep
    The Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails # 16055 can be used with a set of in bed rails. This will give you a 3" offset. The other option would involve putting an offset adapter on to your gooseneck trailer. Something like the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler # BWTEXA4200. If you decide that this is the best option for you let me know what tube size you have on your gooseneck trailer and I will recommend a option for you.

    Hey Raymond, the Curt Spyder part # 16085 that you referenced was designed to fit the standard above bed fifth wheel rail kits so as long as that's what you have it would work but feel free to let me know more about your setup and why you think it may not fit. One advantage that the Curt gooseneck hitch adapter part # 16055 has is that it provides a 3 inch offset which will help with a little more turning clearance.

But what you can do is install the part # 16055 in the fifth wheel rails so that you could tow a gooseneck trailer if needed. The fifth wheel rail kit part # C16301-200 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 though and the slider hitch part# C16546 that you referenced would also be a great choice since you have...

  • Is the Reese Safety-Chain Attachment # RP50223 Used for Fifth Wheel or Gooseneck Trailers
    For fifth wheel trailers there isn't a safety chain requirement like with gooseneck hitches. The part # RP50223 that you referenced is a safety chain setup attachment point for when you are using a gooseneck adapter on a fifth wheel rail like the part # 16055. Since you said pin box that would indicate that you have a fifth wheel trailer and this would not be needed. On gooseneck trailers there will be safety chains attached to the frame/coupler of the trailer.

It cannot be mounted to standard 5th wheel base rails. If you are just needing a gooseneck trailer hitch, the custom kit for your 2001 Ford F-250/350 is the Draw-Tite # 6300-4449, which will include both the gooseneck hitch and installation rails.

For an adapter that would then fit the same rails that the hitch fits you would want the part # 16055. This will install in the rails just like the Patriot and will provide you with a gooseneck hitch. My sister has one of these and uses it in the same way and it works great.
