The differences between the Curt X5 adapters is what they will fit. X5 adapter # C16220 fits Curt EZr Double-Lock gooseneck hitches. And X5 adapter # C16210 fits Curt Double Lock, Flip and Store gooseneck hitches such as # C60720.

The biggest difference to note is the shank from the bottom of the adapter is a different length. The # C16210 has a shank that is 4.41 inches long and the # C16220 has a shank that is 4.66 inches long. So the difference in the length also means the hole is placed about 1/4 inch different as well.

The Draw-Tite Hide-a-Ball is not compatible with either of these adapters as they both have a 2 pin locking system. We do not have an adapter for that gooseneck hitch, however there is the 5th wheel hitch that is directly compatible. It is the Hi-Rise Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch # 9480.
