Install this adapter in the square ball hole of your B&W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch to get above-bed base rails for your fifth-wheel trailer hitch. Universal rails provide attachment points in your truck bed for a standard fifth-wheel hitch.by: John 11/01/2023
Finally installed this with my older Reese hitch. It rocked a little side to side and up and down. I was a little concerned but,once the trailer was hitched up,it worked pretty well.seems pretty solid going down the road. A good alternative to omitting a gooseneck.
by: Juan11/08/2022
I feel the product works as it is intended but I did have a hard time setting it low enough for the pin to engage without using the weight of the trailer to push down on the Curt

It was been working great. One installed I haven’t had to remove it.
by: Terry Mclean06/15/2016
Great product! Ive pulled a 42' to Hell and back not one problem. It is heavy, but it's very solid. My fifth wheel hitch fit straight in. Way cheaper than having to put rails in if you have a factory ball hitch in the bed. Its It's also nice that it's removable so you can haul furniture, or things that can't sit crooked ect. Great product, should last forever. Definitely would recommend

Received the Curt X5 B&W turnover ball adapter yesterday. Would have been easier to drop in with two people but I was able to do it myself. Dropped right in, and in less then 15 seconds it was dropped and locked. Saved me lots of install time on 5th wheel rails. Set my RBW lil' rocker hitch on and pulled my 10,000 lbs 32' 5th wheel across town without issue. I feel that this is probably the strongest way to go when running a 5th wheel to turnover ball adapter, and its only about $*** which is a fraction of the cost for those other weird complex adapters that side load or flex. Customer feedback was great with optimal response time on my questions.
by: Larry 05/04/2023
The only issue was the outer cross braces of this base interfere with the B&W 16K Patriot 5th wheel hitch. I had to grind off about a 1/2" by 1" triangle on the lower Patriot bracket (each side) so it could sit flush on this base where the pins could be attached. Otherwise, I really like the simplicity of this design.
by: Jason 12/16/2022
Definitely does the job if you already have the goose neck and need the 5th wheel rails.
by: Rodney 06/29/2023
Very polite and helped with order to get the correct fifthwheel plate to fit my truck, and made every step easy for purchase, very pleased it fit exactly as describe, I can appreciate everything very much .
Thank you

This was super easy to install, and recently when we were pulling an 9,000 lbs 5th wheel, it performed flawlessly. well worth the money, and with the added bonus of keeping our Goose-neck hitch for our Hay trailer.
by: Rodster04/25/2017
I cannot not say enough about trailer. Always have had my back with price,knowledge, and the best customer service.
I have the Curt X5 Adapter and love it.
I have it coupled to the Q24 her hitch

This is just what I was looking for, already had Curt R5 slider hitch, put B&W hitch on new truck. Tried a gooseneck adapter, but too much flex. Went back to 5th wheel hitch. This adapter is built heavy, weighs over 100lbs by itself. I pull a 14,000lb toy hauler, with a F250 shortbed, needed the slider. I feel much safer with this product. Ordered from e.trailer, shipping was right on, only 3 days.
by: Jonathan12/15/2017
Managed to get my hands on a curt E16 5th wheel hitch and couldn’t be happier with the combination. The drop in weighs 100lbs and is honestly really easy to install. The hardest part is getting it from where it’s stored to the back of the truck.
by: Tim 11/01/2021
Items arrived intact in original packaging, hitch components are well built for heavy duty applications also arrived ahead of the projected date. UPS gave regular updates of travel location and delivery date.

Customer service was great and my item was delivered fast. I would recommend etrailer
by: Brian06/02/2018
Received product 4 days after ordering with free shipping. Seems really well made. No noises or clunks when towing. It dropped right in to my b&w gooseneck and my Reese 5th wheel dropped directly into it. Good product.
by: Harry06/07/2023
Good quality products, customer service was great they helped me exchange and get the correct adapter after I ordered the wrong one
by: Gary D.05/09/2017
Really impressed with the quality of the Curt product. Worked out great, fitting my new to me 98 Dodge 3500. Thanks etrailer.

Nice fit, very well built. My 20000 lb Reese manual slider fit it perfect. Thanks

the hitch arrived quickly and works great, no issues
by: Charles 07/22/2023
I haven't installed this yet but it is very heavy and looks to be very well built! Shipping was quick.
by: Matt10/08/2022
Great product. Easy to use. Fast to install. If it doesn’t lock-in your under body hitch, spin it around 180 degrees and it will lock.
by: Raymond05/07/2016
Fits right in. Just what I needed to use the hitch I already owned wit my B &W gooseneck. Awesome price also.
by: Jason01/11/2022
I love this hitch adapter. I mostly pull gooseneck trailer, but occasionally I need to pull a fifth wheel. Easy to get in and I haven't had any problems getting it back out when I was done with it.
by: Joe S07/01/2015
I recently purchased a used '08 Ford F-350 with a B&S turnover gooseneck hitch. I wanted to use a Reese 16k hitch that I already own and put it in this truck without doing the typical bed rails to attach the fifth wheel hitch. I contacted Etrailer and they quickly identified the Curt X5 adapter to solve my issue. Ordered new adapter and in 3 days I had the unit and everything fit perfectly. This is the second time I have dealt with Etrailer in the last 6 months and I continue to be impressed with all aspects of this company. I'm glad I found Etrailer 6 months ago when I was looking for trailer hub and brake parts. I knew just who to turn to with my latest needs. Thanks Etrailer!

Great. Works well to allow me to go from goose neck to fifth and back again with ease. Very satisfied!
by: Wayne H.05/14/2015
Ordered Curt X5 Fifth Wheel Adapter for my B&W Square Shank Turnover Ball Hitch and received it in two days. Had it installed in my trucks in a matter of minutes. Just pulled out the ball and inserted the adapter, no holes to drill in my truck bed and simply unpin it and remove it to have full use of my bed. Love it!

It is great! Just got back from a 4800 mile trip and unhooked my fifth wheel and pulled the pin and removed everything from my truck bed. The only way to go!
by: Allen Lagnaf10/15/2016
The hitch is just what I needed at a good price. Delivery was FAST and no shipping for such a heavy part.
by: Stumpjumper in SD05/07/2018
Perfect! Let's me use my Reese 5th wheel hitch that I have had for 15 years and three moves, FINALLY!! Both of my one ton trucks have B&w bed hitches, so I got two for one with the Curt adapter!

Works great, I had a Reese hitch left from my old 5th wheel and two pickups with the turnover ball in the bed. This is easy to install and solid when pulling. Just what I needed.

- Dimensions of Curt X5 Adapter 16310From the center of the mounting tube in the middle of the Curt X5 adapter part # 16310 it measures 8 inches to the nearest rail edge and then 11 inches from the center of the adapter to the center of the rail slot. I attached a picture that has all of the other dimensions you asked about on the picture you sent in.

- Will Curt X5 Adapter Plates Allow a Reese Fifth Wheel to Be used on a B&W Turnover GooseneckYes, the Curt X5 Fifth Wheel Adapter for B&W Square Shank Turnover, will allow you to use your Reese 15K Fifth Wheel hitch. The Curt Adapter works with Curt 16K and 20K hitches as well as Reese Fifth Wheels up to 20k among other manufacturers.
view full answer... - Can a Pullrite 5th Wheel Trailer hitch be Installed in Valley RailsIf the Pullrite 5th wheel trailer hitch you have fits industry standard above the bed rails with the measurements shown in the picture I have provided then you can use it in the Valley rails (provided they are the above the bed rails). If the Pullrite hitch is the SuperGlide then you will have to have a special installation kit from Pullrite. We do not currently offer Pullrite products but they are readily available.

- Can Curt X5 Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Adapter be Used with Spray in Bed LinerWe've had customers report back that spray in bedliners did not prevent the use of the Curt rail kit adapter part # 16310 that you referenced from installing. One did say that they had to put the pin weight of their trailer on their hitch to get the pin of the adapter to seat but that only was required the first time they used the setup.
view full answer... - Should A Curt X5 Base Rail Adapter Spin In A B&W Gooseneck Hitch It sounds like the locking pin might not fully be engaging your Curt X5 # 16310 and allowing it to turn up to the point that the squared edge of the post won't let it turn any more in the hitch. Do you possibly have a bed liner that could be holding the X5 up higher so that the bolt doesn't line up? Can you lift the X5 up out of the hitch after pushing the locking pin back in? Let me know what you find and we can keep troubleshooting further.
view full answer... - Distance From Center of Curt X5 Fifth Wheel Adapter 16310 To Edge of RailThe shaft that fits in the gooseneck hitch on the Curt X5 adapter, # 16310, is centered between the two 5th wheel rails. If you were to measure from the center of that shaft to the rear edge of the back rail or to the front edge of the front rail it would be approximately 14 inches. You obviously have a truck bed that is shorter than 6 feet. Most likely there isn't going to be a fifth wheel hitch that's going to give you the needed clearance to make tight turns.

- Can the Curt X5 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter be Used with a Sliding Pin BoxYou can use the Curt X5 adapter # 16310 with a sliding 5th wheel trailer hitch but the adapter has not been tested with a sliding pin box on a 5th wheel trailer. I spoke with my contact at Curt and he said that it would not be a problem so you can use it. I have included a link to a video review of this adapter for you. If you are talking about a Sidewinder or Reese Revolution pin box you cannot use any adapters with either of those pin boxes. It creates too much stress on the adapter...
view full answer... - Will Curt X5 Hitch Adapter for B&W Turnover Balls Accept Pro Series 5th Wheel HitchThe Curt X5 Fifth Wheel Adapter # 16310 for B&W Square Shank Turnover Ball Hitches will work fine in a B&W standard center turnover ball hitch. Once installed it will provide a 20K capacity and industry-standard 5th wheel base rails that are compatible with 5th wheel hitches from makers like Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Reese, Valley and Husky. It will work fine with your Pro Series hitch.
view full answer... - Adapter Kit Recommendation for Fitting Reese 16k Hitch in Truck Bed with B and W GooseneckWe have exactly what you need. The Curt X5 adapter part # 16310 is designed to fit your B and W gooseneck hitch and provide you with a set of fifth wheel rails that your Reese 16k fifth wheel hitch is designed to fit. With just this adapter you'd be set. I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Solution for Curt X5 Adapter that Doesn't Want to Fully Seat with Spray In Bed Liner Your spray in bed liner would not be the issue in most cases but we do have a solution that we have found works in your situation. We had a customer come back and state that the first time he went to use the # 16310 on his truck with a spray in bed liner he had the same issue with the pin not seating. He went ahead and hitched up the trailer and that pressure was enough to get the pin to seat fully. After that he never had that problem again. Most likely the bed liner just need to compress...

- Will Curt X5 fifth Wheel Adapter For B&W Work With Airsafe 25K Fifth Wheel HitchI looked up the Airsafe 25K 5th Wheel Hitch and noticed that it uses industry standard above bed rails. Since this is the case, the Curt X5 Fifth Wheel Adapter for B&W Square Shank Turnoverball Hitches # 16310 will work great for you. The adapter # 16310 will fit into your B&W Turnoverball gooseneck and provide industry standard above bed rails to install your fifth wheel trailer. I have attached a review video of the adapter for you.
view full answer... - Does Curt 5X Adapter work with Valley Slider HitchesYes, I did some checking and the Curt X5 Fifth Wheel Adapter for B and W Square Shank Turnover Ball Hitches # 16310 would work in the B and W hitch you have installed in your 2004 Ford F250 and is also compatible with the Valley Power Pull Glider hitch as this hitch is designed to fit industry standard rails like what are on the # 16310. You can use a slider hitch with this adapter. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Will the Curt X5 Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Adapter Clear the Safety Chains Loops on a B and W HitchSafety chain loops are normally located to the left and right of the gooseneck ball. The X-shaped part in the center of the Curt X5 adapter, # 16310, is raised above the truck bed by almost 1-1/2 inches, more at the center where the adapter fits into the ball cavity. It should not interfere with the safety chain loops, especially if they are the type that are on springs and other wise sit fairly low to the bed when not in use.
view full answer... - Can The Curt X5 Base Rail Adapter Be Used With A MORryde Cushioned Pin Box Yes, there would not be any issues using the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches # 16310 to mount your fifth wheel hitch and then hooking up to a trailer with a MORryde Cushioned Pin Box.
view full answer... - Will a PullRite SuperGlide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Fit the Curt X5 AdapterCurt X5 Fifth Wheel Adapter for B&W gooseneck hitches # 16310 accepts 5th wheel trailer hitches that fit in above the bed industry standard rails (excluding Husky 10-26K or 10-16K sliders). If your SuperGlide is the ISR model (Industry Standard Rails) then it should fit the adapter. But Curt has not tested the adapter with the SuperGlide ISR models so they cannot officially confirm it.
view full answer... - Is Curt X5 Adapter Compatible with Reese Sliding Fifth Wheel HitchCurt X5 adapter, # 16310, is designed to fit B and W Square Shank Turnover Ball Hitches. This adapter is compatible with a Reese slider 5th wheel trailer hitch. I have linked you to the install details for the adapter, as well as an FAQ article on Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck adapters.
view full answer... - Will Trailer Side to Side Movement Raise the Rails on the CURT X5 Adapter and Damage the Truck BedIt 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...
view full answer... - Curt X5 Adapter Recommendation for 1997 Ford F-250 with B and W Turnover Ball Hitch InstalledAs long as your fifth wheel hitch was designed to fit the industry standard fifth wheel rails that are 22 inches apart then yes, the Curt X5 part # 16310 that you referenced would fit your B and W hitch and work well. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

- Will Hijacker Fifth Wheel Hitch Fit Curt X5As long as your Hijacker Fifth Wheel Hitch was designed to work with standard above bed rails, then it will fit with the Curt X5 # 16310. If you can send me the model number of your hitch, or a picture of the mounting feet, I will be happy to verify the fit.
view full answer... - Is the CURT X5 5th Wheel Adapter Compatible with a Pullrite Superglide 5th Wheel Trailer HitchI 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...

He pointed out that the center of the X5 is raised slightly and some Husky/Valley Hitches didn't allow enough clearance. He said if your hitch didn't sit on the center of the adapter and the pins can be attached your 5th wheel slider will work. I pulled the X5 to measure and the rise in the center is...

- Does Curt X5 Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Adapter # 16310 Fit all Gooseneck HitchesYou need to make sure that the gooseneck hitch you have installed in the bed of your truck is the correct fit with the Curt X5 adapter part # 16310 as not every hideaway hitch is compatible with these adapters. The # 16310 only fits B and W Turnoverball gooseneck hitches so you need to verify that's what you have. If you look at the hitch under your truck bed and see a gray colored hitch most likely this is what you have but you should still look for a sticker on it with the brand info. You...

Many times the hitch head is adjustable. You may be able to adjust the height there, and also the king pin is commonly adjustable as well.
