Question:
Hello, I have a c60734 hitch installed under a steel flatbed and I was wondering if this will work. Looking for options that will allow me to use my Curt E16 hitch with my flatbed truck, thanks.

Expert Reply:
If the top of the mount for the ball on Curt gooseneck hitch # C60734 is flush with the bed like it would be on a regular pickup truck then the X5 adapter # C16210 will fit. But if it is recessed then the shank on the X5 adapter will not be long enough to reach and properly fit in the gooseneck hitch.
In that situation there are other adapters you could use such as # CAB-C5GX1216.
