Expert Reply:
If the B and W gooseneck trailer hitch in your 2000 Ford F-250 is the square shank turnover ball hitch then you would need to use the Curt X5, # 16310. The other X5 that you reference is for Curt gooseneck hitches.
You can use the X5 with a slider 5th wheel trailer hitch. For the most amount of travel I recommend the Reese slider hitch # RP30083. It has 12 inches of travel and that should help tremendously with making tight turns when towing your 5th wheel trailer. I have included a link to a video review of this hitch for you.
