Video Transcript for Hands-On with the Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails

Jake: Hey guys, it's Jake here with etrailer today. We're going to be taking a look at two different Curt products, but they're going to accomplish the same thing. We're going to be looking at the curd spider and the Curt drop-in plate. Both of them are going to be a gooseneck conversion for your fifth wheel rails that are already in your bed.Now what I like about this is let's say you have a fifth wheel camper that you go camping with for the past couple of years. And you decide that you want to either haul a gooseneck trailer because you got a side project coming up or something like that, but you don't want to take out your bed because you still like going camping. This is designed to help you haul goosenecks in the proper way, by just utilizing the rails that are already in your bed.The first difference is going to be that our safety chain loops on our spider are going to be on the front and they're going to be spring-loaded, just like our standard ones are on your regular goosenecks.

Can be spring-loaded, pull it out, hook your safety chain on there, and you're ready to go. The ball is another area of concern. So the gooseneck ball on our spider is going to sit directly in the center of our two rails. It's also going to sit from the bottom of the spider to the top of the ball, is going to be about seven and a half inches. Let's go ahead and take a look at the Curt plate for gooseneck adapter and show you the difference.

With our Curt plate. You can see that our safety chain loops are incorporated in the plate itself. You just simply hook your safety chain hooks onto these loops, and it's going to be safe to travel down the road.You're going to notice that our ball is going to be slightly offset either to the front or the rear. We can flip this plate around depending on what kind of vehicle that we're towing it with. If we have a long bed, it's not really going to matter which configuration you use it for.

You are going to be able to use it with the ball facing the cab, or more towards the cab. And if you have a short bed truck, which you can do, is you can take the whole plate and have these handy little grip slots that you can put your hands so you don't smash it in between the bed and the sides of our plate. Simply lift it up, spin it around, set it down, and you can see very easily. We just gained about six inches back and neither of our balls are going to be in the center of our two rails.So this is going to give us that extra cab clearance that we need for the nose of our trailer, if you're hauling it in a short bed. The biggest difference between the two gooseneck adapters I'll have to say is going to be the height of your ball.

The height of our ball on our gooseneck plate here is going to be only from the top of your rails to the top of the ball is only going to be about four and a half inches. So you can tell the difference between the sheer size of our spider and our plate is that you're going to gain about three inches if you're using the spider. Whereas if you don't want to have to adjust your coupler on your trailer, or if you can't adjust it enough, we've gotten a lot of reviews that say that they cannot put their coupler any further up inside their gooseneck hitch.So they're going to have to go with the plate because the spider was simply too tall. They couldn't adjust their trailer to the right height to haul it level. Both the hitch adapters are going to install the same way; simply lift it up and drop it into place. Both the spider and the gooseneck plate are going to come with four pins so that you don't have to rely on your pins from your fifth wheel to be able to get it locked into place. Both of the hitches are going to have the same weight capacities. It's going to have a 25,000 pound gross towing weight and a 6,250 pound tongue weight. Both of these hitches are going to have a carbide black powder coat, which is going to be stronger than just your standard powder coat. You're not going to have to worry about it, shipping or flaking, and then potentially rusting your hitch.With that being said, the hitch is made of a sturdy steel construction. And it will say Curt did a very good job of making this out of a very thick quarter inch steel. So when it comes down to it, they're both going to be made out of the same materials. The spider is going to be a little bit heavier and bulkier to put down into place, and it's going to stick up higher, as we went over. They're both going to feature a 2 5/16 ball. So you're not going to have to worry about them being different in that aspect. What it's really going to come down to is what are you using it for And what are you using it with If you have a short bed truck and you have a camper that you're towing with this and that your camper has a gooseneck coupler on it, or maybe you have a horse trailer that has a larger nose, and you'd like a little bit more space for the cab of your truck to have some more clearance. I would definitely go with the Curt plate. If you have a long bed truck, or you have a short bed truck, but you're just hauling a trailer with a simple gooseneck coupler on it, and you don't have any clearance issues. Then I'd go with the spider.

  • 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...

  • Recommended Gooseneck Adapter for Standard 5th Wheel Rails
    Hey Larry, it sounds like you already have 5th wheel rails, so to be able to tow a Gooseneck trailer you can use the Curt Spyder Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails # 16085. This adapter will drop into standard 5th wheel rails, includes a 2 5/16ball, and will let you tow up to a 25k trailer. If there is anything else you need help with, feel free to leave a comment and I'd be happy to help!

  • Can The Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Be Used To Tow A Gooseneck Trailer
    Hey Keith, The Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System # AM3200 can technically be used to connect to a gooseneck trailer, but the ball would sit much higher than normal because it's designed to make up the difference in height that a 5th wheel hitch would cover. If you have base rails the better option would be the Curt Spyder Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails # 16085. This would mount into the base rails and give you a gooseneck ball attachment point.

  • Will Raised Gooseneck Ball Help 2018 Scotts Low Boy Trailer Gain Ramp Clearance
    Adding a raised gooseneck ball would allow you to raise the neck back up on your trailer. I'm not sure how much you would need to fully deploy the ramp again so I would compare where you have the gooseneck now to before to see what kind of a raised ball would be required. I'm also not sure what your setup is, but the # 16085 you looked at would raise up the gooseneck ball if yours is currently sitting down in the truck bed. This is designed to fit industry standard rails and the top of...

  • Availability Of Aftermarket Or OEM Puck System FOr A 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500
    The only puck system available for the 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 is the OEM puck system which is only available from Chevy. It is not available aftermarket. We do have options for both fifth wheel and gooseneck mounts, but nothing quite like the OEM puck system. Our most similar option is the B&W Turnoverball # BWGNRK1020-5W and Companion Fifth Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3500-5W. The companion hitch mounts into the receptacle for the gooseneck ball. This allows for full bed access with the fifth...

  • Can Short Bed Trucks Tow Gooseneck Trailers
    The one really big downside to gooseneck towing is that there isn't a great solution for short bed truck clearance unlike fifth wheel towing. With fifth wheel hitches you can use a slider hitch and have the clearance issue handled. With gooseneck towing there isn't really anything you can do. The only way it's possible is if the nose of the gooseneck trailer is tapered to help with the turning clearance. The Spyder part # 16085 does fit industry standard fifth wheel rails like you have...

  • 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?

    Hey John, thanks for reaching out! The Curt Spyder Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # 16085 will fit your 2013 Ford F-350, and while it will work with the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails with Installation Kit # C16200 you referenced, that rail kit isn't designed for your truck - especially with the puck system installed. For your application you'll need to use the Curt Adapter Rails # C88KR which fit into the factory puck system and give you the universal base rail connection you're needing. Attached...

  • Is There A 3" Gooseneck Hitch Ball For 2008 Dodge Ram?
    Hey Ty, I'd hate to say this, but unfortunately all of our 5th wheel rail to gooseneck adapters like Curt Spyder # 16085 have a 2-5/16" ball, not 3". Your only options are to replace your gooseneck coupler with a 2-5/16" coupler, or install a 3" gooseneck hitch on your truck. I'm sure this isn't what you wanted to hear, but it's the only options unless you want to have a custom fabricator rig something up for you. Your best bet is to install something like the B&W Turnoverball Underbed...

  • Recommended Above Bed Gooseneck Hitch For 1984 Chevy C20 Pickup
    Hey Douglas, There unfortunately isn't a custom-fit base rail kit or gooseneck hitch option confirmed to fit your 1984 Chevy C20. You'd have to go with a universal kit like the curt # C16200 and then use an adapter like the Curt Spyder # 16085 to connect to your gooseneck trailer. This would give you an above bed mounting point like you were wanting. If you change your mind and want to go with a below bed mounting system then you'll want the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer...

    The cab and chassis frame is not the same as the regular 3500HD so there isn't going to be a custom kit. The frame is more narrow, so you will need to use a universal rail kit like the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches item # RP30035. You will want to center it about 1-3" in front of your axle. To haul a gooseneck trailer, I recommend the Curt Spyder Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails item # 16085.

    Based on the year, the system is most likely not a factory system. GMC and Chevy did not have a factory puck system until 2016 and it included the gooseneck puck so there were 5 holes. If you have the 4 pucks it most likely is the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP30868 which is confirmed to fit your truck.

To do this you will want the to use an above the bed gooseneck hitch adapter. Since you have a 6 foot bed you may need an adapter with an offset like the Curt # 16055 with a 3 inch offset. If no offset is needed, I recommend the Curt Spyder # 16085. Both of these adapters will fit into your rails and secure like the 5th...

  • Compatibility of Curt Spyder Gooseneck Adapter with Husky Fifth Wheel Rails
    The Curt Spyder Gooseneck Adapter Plate is compatible with Valley fifth wheel install rails, and Husky rails were manufactured by Valley. It is a fairly safe bet that the Adapter Plate will most likely be compatible with your rails. You can confirm this by comparing the spacing of the slots on your existing rails to those shown in the photo I provided. If the center-to-center dimension of the mounting slots is 20-1/2 inches, the Curt Spyder would indeed work with your existing rails.
