• Solution for Towing a 5th Wheel Trailer with Curt Double-Lock Hitch on 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500
  While we do have other options for you, the only way to use the B&W Companion # BWRVK3500 or # BWRVK3400 is by having the entire B&W Gooseneck Hitch # BWGNRK1016 installed on your 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500 as there isn't a way to safely fit different parts of gooseneck hitches together. With that being said, I'm a little curious about the gooseneck hitch you currently have installed. Reason being that the Chevy factory gooseneck hitch would have needed all of the pucks installed as well...

• Is There an Adapter To Fit Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch Installed in Flatbed Truck
  The issue you most likely are going to have is that the portion of the flat bed that sticks out past the rear axle is going to be too long to fit under the overhang of a fifth wheel hitch since they were designed to fit standard truck beds. How long is your flat bed though since you have something different from the picture? If the hitch you have is in fact a B and W Turnoverball then we do have the Companion for Flat Bed trucks part # BWRVK3050 which is designed for the recessed ball...

• Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Hitch Adapter for Trailer with Leland 7921 Pin Box
  For a Leland pin box the best fifth wheel to gooseneck adapter is going to be the Convert a Ball part # CAB-C5G that you referenced. Only issue is that since you have a short bed truck you aren't going to have great turning clearance. Ideally you'd have a hitch that a rail adapter could fit like the X5 part # 16310 for B and W hitches or the # C16210 for Curt double lock hitches so that you could use a slider hitch like the Curt A20 Slider part # C16541.

• Will The Curt 5TH Wheel Hitch Rails Fit With Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch on 2018 Chevy 3500?
  The Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16411-204 will not fit your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 as you already have the Rails # C60604 for a gooseneck hitch installed where the rail brackets mount. If you have the Double Lock # C607-604 you can use the Adapter # C16210 for using a 5th wheel hitch.

• Slider Recommendation for Curt 20k Fifth Wheel Hitch for Turning Clearance
  Sounds like you are trying to switch up your fifth wheel hitch setup so that you have more turning clearance. Whether you use a fifth wheel rail kit or a gooseneck adapter the center of the hitch's jaws are going to be right above the center of the truck's axle. You can use a slider hitch with the # C16210 so if you have this adapter already and a non-slider hitch you'd probably be good just using a slider hitch as well. Since you have a 20k Curt hitch the slider you'd need to use with...

• How to Tell the Difference Between the Curt Double Lock & EZr Gooseneck Hitch
  If you could send me a picture of the gooseneck hitch you have installed in your 2017 GMC Sierra 2500 then I would be able to make a more educated guess but based on your description you have the Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch part # C607-604 and the correct adapter would indeed be part # C16210. However, if the gooseneck hitch was installed at the dealer then you would have had the Curt EZr Gooseneck Hitch part # C611-624 and the correct adapter would be part # C16220. I have attached...

• 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 then...

• Adapter Options to Convert Curt Gooseneck Hitch to Fifth Wheel Rail Kit
  Curt has fifth wheel rail adapters for their gooseneck hitches like the part # C16210 for if the hitch is a double lock gooseneck or the part # C16220 for if it's an EZr style. The easy way to tell if your hitch is an EZr or a double lock is to look at the sides of the hitch ball. If there is a slot that runs between the ball holes it's EZr (see first picture. If there is only two holes it's a double latch (second picture). Then you can install a fifth wheel hitch like the A16 slider part...

• Do I Have to Remove the Gooseneck Ball from the Puck System Before Install a 5th Wheel Hitch?
  Hey Scott. That's a lot to unpack and I have a couple questions. Leaning towards my answer being a hard no though. I am not sure what a moose gooseneck ball is but if your 2020 Ram 2500 has the factory puck system then you'll definitely need to get it out to install either the B&W Companion item # BWRVK3670 for a slider or item # BWRVK3600. The Companion hitches mount directly to the pucks and do not leave much space between the bed and the 5th wheel hitch. What's a moose gooseneck ball,...

  You'll have to determine what the gooseneck hitch is that you have installed in the bed of your truck. The Curt you mentioned can only fit Curt hitches and without knowing what you have I can't safely say if it would fit or not.

• Parts Needed For A 25k - 30k 5th Wheel Hitch Setup In A 2011 Ram 3500
  Hey Daniel, You could swap out the pin box for a fifth wheel-to-gooseneck style pin box and then just use the gooseneck hitch ball you should've gotten with the Turnoverball hitch. For this I recommend a Gen-Y pin box, but we'll need to know your fully loaded pin weight and the bolt pattern for your current pin box to pick out the correct fit. To determine the bolt pattern you'll want to look for the white sticker on it that lists the LCI item #, serial #, and RPO # so we can look up...

• Are Additional Mounting Bolts Required For Curt X5 Gooseneck To 5th Wheel Adapter Rails
  Hey Damien, The Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches # 16310 would be secured only by the pin in the B&W Turnoverball hitch and would not require additional bolts to mount it. The latching pin would be enough to hold the adapter in place and tow, adding additional bolts would defeat its purpose of being easy to install and remove as needed. These adapters are hitch-specific so if you have a Curt double-lock gooseneck hitch you'll want the...

• Adding 5th Wheel Rails to 2004 Ford F-250 With Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch
  Hi Ethan; you won't be able to install base rails with the Curt Double Lock already in your 2004 F-350 unless you want to remove the gooseneck hitch. What you can do instead is use an adapter. Assuming this is the regular Double Lock you need the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Trailer Hitches # C16210. If you have the EZr Double you need the # C16220 instead.

• How to Tell Difference Between Curt EZr and Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch
  Easiest way to tell which gooseneck hitch you have is by looking at the safety cable loops. If they are about as wide as the gooseneck ball hole and are centered with the ball hole it's an EZr, if the safety chain loops are a smaller and offset then it's a double lock. Take a look at the pictures of the EZR part # C611-624 and the # C607-604 and compare your safety chain setup to both of these. Let me know which yours matches and we can go from there. The part # C16210 is for the Double...

• 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.

• Can B&W Companion 5th-Wheel Hitch be Used with Curt Gooseneck Ball on 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
  I do have a solution for you, however the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches like the Sliding # BWRVK3400-5W are not compatible with the Curt Gooseneck Hitch installed on your 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. As you noted, the B&W uses a square shank while Curt gooseneck balls use a round shank and there is no current shaft or adapter available to allow the use of the two systems together. I recommend using the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter # C16210. This will work with Curt...

• Compatibility of Curt Gooseneck Hitch with B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch
  To install a fifth wheel hitch that would be compatible with your existing Curt gooseneck hitch, I'd recommend using Curt X-5 adapter, part # C16210. This adapter will lock into a Curt Double-Lock, Flip and Store gooseneck hitches (C-60 and C-600 series). The adapter provides bed rails for a fifth wheel hitch that uses industry standard bed rails like Reese, Curt, Draw-Tite, Valley or Husky. The Curt Q20, part # C16130 would be a good choice. The hitch has a 20,000 lb capacity and a dual...

• Can The Curt X5 Adapter Be Used In A 2022 Ford F-250 With The Factory Prep Package?
  As the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter # C16210 is designed for use with the Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Trailer Hitch, it does use a different style of mechanism in the shank to secure it in the bed. I included pictures of what I mean. With that being said, the X5 cannot be used with factory puck systems, unfortunately. However, I do have another option. The Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch # C88KR is designed specifically to fit your pucks and will snap right into place. This...

  With your current gooseneck hitch, you can use the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Trailer Hitches - 20,000 lbs # C16210 that SHOULD be compatible with your gooseneck hitch. Based on all I can research it looks like it will fit, but I can't confirm it because I cannot test it.

• How To Install a 5th Wheel Hitch On a 2016 Ford F-250 with Curt Gooseneck Hitch

If that is the case then I have great news for you as there is an adapter available that allows you to use a sliding 5th wheel hitch, the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter part # C16210 for Double Lock or part # C16220 for EZr.

• Troubleshooting Movement Using Curt X5 Adapter on B&W Gooseneck Base
  The Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches - 20,000 lbs # 16310 is the system I believe you have. It will have some movement as you stated but you won't have any issue with it failing if you are within the 20,000 lb maximum towing weight capacity and 4,000 lb maximum tongue weight capacity. There really isn't anything that is recommended to pair these any better. My recommendation for the best fit is the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch...

• Does Reese Goose Box Extend the Pin Box on a 5th Wheel Trailer
  The Reese Goose Box # RP85FR doesn't add any length to the existing set up. The distance from the center of the coupler to the nearest bolt holes is approximately 18 inches. Any length added or lost is coincidental. What kind of gooseneck hitch does your truck have? You may be able to use one of the Curt X5 adapters and then use a sliding 5th wheel hitch such as # C16541 with it to get more clearance. X5 adapter # 16310 works with B&W gooseneck hitches with the exceptions for 2013 -...
