• How To Identify Which Curt Gooseneck Hitch I have To Get The Correct Curt X5 5th Wheel Adapter
  The easiest way to determine which Curt Gooseneck Hitch you have in your truck is to look at the safety chain loops compared to the gooseneck ball hole. If the safety loops are offset from the ball hole, and pretty small in comparision you have the Double Lock and will need the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Trailer Hitches - 20,000 lbs # C16210. If the safety loops are in-line with the gooseneck hole and are the same size as the gooseneck hole...

• Is Husky EZ Roller 5th Wheel Hitch Compatible w/ Curt X5 Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Hitch Adapter Plate
  The two are completely different. EZ roller is the brand name of Husky's 5th wheel hitch slider. An auto slide hitch refers to the Demco Hijacker Auto Slide such as # DM8550034. The Auto slide hitch isn't compatible with the Curt # C16220 X5 Gooseneck to 5th wheel hitch adapter plate.

• Will Curt X5 C16220 Gooseneck Hitch-5th Wheel Hitch Adapter Fit With Industry Standard Bed Rails
  The Curt X5 # C16220 Base Rail Adapter Plate provides a set of industry standard fifth wheel hitch mounting rails which are compatible with your Husky 5th wheel hitch. The only industry standard compatible hitch it won't work with is an auto slide type hitch. It also wouldn't be compatible with rotating pinboxes like the Reese Sidewinder/Revolution or the Lippert Turning Point. I've linked to a product description for the Curt X5 adapter plate.

• Difference Between Item # C16220 and Item # C16210 And Are They Interchangeable With Each Other
  The only difference between Item # C16220 for EZr hitches and Item # C16210 for Curt double lock hitches is the shaft on Item # C16220 is going to be 3/8" longer than the shaft on Item # C16210. I would not recommend trying to use Item # C16220 on a hitch designed for Item # C16210. With the shaft being a little longer, the rails may not sit flat on the bed. If you tried using Item # C16210 on an EZr hitch the pin holes would not line up because of the shorter shaft.

• Does Curt X5 5th-Wheel Base Rail Adapter Plate Fit Curt EZr Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch
  The Curt X5 5th-Wheel Base Rail Adapter Plate # C16220 that you referenced is for the Curt EZr Double Lock gooseneck trailer hitches. It is not compatible with any other gooseneck hitches due to the design of where the latch goes through the body.

• Will the Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Fit the X5 Adapter # C16220
  Yes, a Curt Q24 hitch, # C16245, will fit the X5 adapter # C16220. But the adapter is limited to 20,000 pounds gross trailer weight so you are limited to 20K even though the hitch is rated higher. And if the tow vehicle is rated less than 20K then you would go by that rating. Always go by the lowest rated component in the system.
