5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Adapter Recommendation for a Toy Hauler

Published 03/28/2009

Question:

I have a 35 ft toyhauler approx 10,000lbs. I notice some hitches are rated for 6000lbs tongue weight and 26,000gvr. Would this hitch handle the weight? thanks.

You are correct in that some gooseneck hitches have weight ratings that will handle up to 26,000 pounds or more. However, if you use this adapter, # CAB-C5G, you have to abide by the lowest limiting factor.

For instance, if you had a heavy-duty gooseneck hitch and then used this adapter to pull a fifth wheel trailer, the adapter would be the limiting factor of 20,000 pounds towing capacity and 2,000 pounds tongue weight capacity. If you are trying to tow your toyhauler fifth wheel with the Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Cushioned Trailer Adapter, item # CAB-C5G, you should be fine.
