Question:

Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Trailer Hitches - 20,000 lbs Item # C16210 is this adapter compatible with a draw tite single lock under bed round gooseneck ? If not, do you have anything that will work on my hitch?? I have a 2013 F250 Short wheel base truck and have to use a pullrite hitch.

I do have some options available for you however, the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter part # C16210 is not compatible with the Draw-Tite Underbed Gooseneck Hitches.

Unfortunately, there are not any 5th wheel adapter plates that fit the Draw-Tite gooseneck therefore, you have two options. You can use a 5th wheel to gooseneck pin box adapter like the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter part # CAB-C5GX1216 which has a 7-1/2" offset to account for turning clearance.

The other option for you is to remove your gooseneck hitch and install a set of base rails compatible with your PullRite 5th wheel hitch. In order to recommend the base rail kit for the PullRite 5th Wheel Hitch, I would need to know the model of your current 5th wheel hitch. If you can provide me with this information then I would be happy to offer my recommendation. This will be your only option if cab clearance is your main concern.

The Convert-A-Ball adapter will prove to be the most cost efficient option you have. The adapter is rated for 20,000 lbs. and will accept 2-5/16" hitch balls.

I have attached a review and installation video of the adapter for you.
