Question:

I have a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 short bed with a Curt double pin gooseneck hitch installed. Will this fifth wheel hitch mount fit with the gooseneck hitch still installed? Thank you.

Expert Reply:

I have a solution for you but since you have the Curt Double Lock Underbed Gooseneck Hitch item # C607-661 installed you can't add the Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit item # C16420-204.

Instead you will need the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Trailer Hitches item # C16210. This adapter will drop right down into your Double Lock's gooseneck receiver and provide you with a set of industry standard base rails. This adapter is made in the USA, has a 20,000 lbs capacity, and is compatible with almost all 5th wheel hitches.

To make towing with a 5th wheel easier, I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector - 7' Long item # C56071. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed of your truck and allows you to keep the one on your bumper. This makes hooking up to your 5th wheel trailer easier and more convenient.
