I have been pulling a 40 foot, 14,000 pound RV with this hitch without any issues. I would recommend it to anyone.

Great. Works as advertised with no issues.

I was looking for a way to shift my 5 th Wheel gooseneck hitch back b/c it was hitting my toolbox. Because I had a Ford with the factory installed hitch this was the only option. R Trailer walked me through what I needed and it worked great!



by:

Great product at a great price. Needed a gooseneck for occasional hauling but didn't want to lose my 5th wheel rails and this fit the bill. Had to loosen the bolts on one rail to get it to sit in place but was a 10 min fix. Had about 10k behind me so far through various terrains and it has done nothing other than what it is intended for. Can't say enough about customer service either, any question i had they had helpful advice and were nothing but nice. Would reccomend this product and ETrailer to anyone in need.

I am still loving it. Use it very often with our horse trailer and stock trailer. Has been every where and done every thing i have asked of it with no issues. Still happy with the purchase and glad i went with this product.



by:

Great hitch. Followed directions and excellent install videos from your website. First time installing one and had no issues. Fast shipping also.



by:

Hardest part was removing the fifth wheel hitch from the cross bracket due to it being so heavy. The gooseneck adapter was a breeze to install and works flawlessly.



by:

Quick drop into my 5th wheel rails and now I’m ready to pull a Goose neck trailer, couldn’t be easier.



by:

2012 Ford F-250 - Fast shipping and easy to follow directions we’re included. Bed rails and side plates lined up perfectly. My bed has the line x bed liner so I added 1/8” for setting the first rail. I highly recommend using a step bit to drill your holes for the rails. No drilling was required on the frame. This was completed by myself in about 4 hours with no lift. Definitely could be completed faster with another hand or lift. Measure several times and drill once and everything will line up great.



by:

Good quality easy installation

Awesome



by:

Works better than expected with a short bed truck, the gooseneck trailer I have is not adjustable and is mainly for flatbed use only but with this hitch and rail setup I’m not concerned about rubbing on the bed sides or tailgate, I also have more than enough clearance for tight Maneuvers.



by:

Works well. Defiantly better than installing a gooseneck under the bed hitch. You can swap the plate over to a fifth wheel plate with ease. 2 birds one stone. Defiantly recommend

It works as advertised. I purchased couple weeks ago but resisted from responding until actually testing. Picked up new gooseneck trailer and loaded with way more weight than my skid steer could unload easily. No problems b

I had thought the gooseneck coupler was painted. The items seem to be good quality and really fast delivery. I was hoping I wouldn't have to go paint the item.



by:

It was a perfect fit and we were amazed how it was such an easy install and removal process. It's actually easier than our older trucks flip over ball gooseneck hitch.

This plate has been towing heavy for over 100k miles!!! Not one issue. Good product.

Ezequiel

This plate has been outstanding! No issues and towing heavy all the time. I’m now at 206k miles and no issues.



by:

Wow! I ordered this Sunday night watching a football game. Showed up Tuesday mid-afternoon! Super fast shipping! Took it out of the box and found it to be very sturdy. It dropped right in my existing rails without any problems. EXACTLY what I was after and what I thought it would be. I can now switch easily between towing a camper and a horse trailer. First experience with etrailer, and would highly recommend them to family, friends and you!



by:

Since being installed on my truck I have been able to rely on the hitch with zero problems, every time. Plenty of ease trading it out for my fifth wheel hitch and back again. Thank you for such a great product!!



by:

Received the Curt bent plate gooseneck hitch in less than a week and it fit right in the existing fifth wheel rails. Really like this hitch and with it I am going to be able to salvage a trailer that hasn't been on the road since 1994 that would have ended up as scrap metal otherwise! Thank you etrailer for the prompt and reliable service.



by:

Great quality and easily installed. Great investment.



by:

Easy to order and fast to ship. Just put the product in and had to do some grinding on the tabs so it would go down in the holes. After that it fit just fine and looks great.

The product is still in my truck and gets used daily. Works great and haven’t had a problem with it.



by:

I ordered the Curt gooseneck hitch plate from ETRAILER because I needed the hitch for a trailer I purchased.
I received the hitch in record time packaged nicely and in perfect condition.
The hitch mounted into my truck flawlessly !!!



by:

Super fast shipping and dropped right into my 5th rails. Didn’t even have to pull the 5th wheel hitch to install it. Took about 5 minutes. Heavy packaging ensued the hitch was in excellent shape.
I haven’t drilled the one bolt they recommend but will do it, should be simple and easy to get to.
Couldn’t be easier. Highly recommend!

See what our Experts say about this CURT Gooseneck Hitch

  • 5th Wheel Mounting Bracket/Rail Kit for 2017 Ram 2500
    We have several 5th wheel bracket/rail kits that would work for your 2017 Ram 2500 to install your Curt item # 16055 gooseneck plate adapter, but I'd recommend the Curt # C16427-204 as the least expensive alternative. The bed rails provided with the kit are industry standard, so they'd be compatible with your item # 16055 plate. If you don't have a 7-way mounted in your truck bed, you can install one using part # C56000. I'll link to install videos for the rail kit and the 7-way harness...

  • Can The Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # 16055 Be Used In Reverse
    Yes, per Curt the Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # 16055 can be positioned over the axle or for a 3 inch rearward offset. The gooseneck hitch has an offset hitch ball that provides additional space between your truck's cab and your gooseneck trailer. The B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # BWRVK2605 are needed to attach the Curt Gooseneck hitch to. I attached a review video link below.

  • Curt 3" Offset Above-Bed Gooseneck Compatibility With Curt 5TH Wheel Rails On 2014 Ford F-350
    Yes, the Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # 16055 will fit the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit # C16424-204 that you installed in your 2014 Ford F-350. You will not have to make any alterations. The Fifth Wheel Rail Sound Dampeners # 16900 will cut down on the rattle from the plate when you are not hauling. And I do find the Curt Safety-Chain Loops # C16000 are much easier to use for securing the safety chains than the small holes in the gooseneck plate.

  • Recommended Gooseneck Hitch Ball Plate for Fifth Wheel Rails
    Since your 2006 Ford F-250 Super Duty came with a Reese fifth wheel hitch we have something that will work for you. It is the Curt 25K Gooseneck Plate for Fifth Wheel Rails item # 16085. All you will need to do is remove the fifth wheel hitch and attach this plate to the rails installed in the bed of your truck, with the included hardware.

  • Offset Gooseneck Hitch Ball for 2016 Ford F-350 With Factory In Bed Hitch Puck System
    The 5" Offset Ball for Hide-A-Goose Gooseneck Trailer Hitches # 19308 will not fit the factory hitch on your 2016 Ford F-350. It only works with Bulldog, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, and Reese Hide-A-Goose gooseneck trailer hitches only. The Adapter Rails # C88KR will allow you to use the Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # 16055. This will give you a gooseneck ball that is 3" offset to the rear of the vehicle. Be aware that this will cause the ball to sit much higher in the bed than...

  • Spacing of Mounting Tabs On Curt # 16055 Bed Rail Mounted Gooseneck Hitch
    The mounting tabs of the Curt item # 16055 Bed Rail Mounted Gooseneck Hitch are compatible with industry-standard bed rails from Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Reese, Valley and Husky. If any of these companies manufactured your bed rails, the Curt # 16055 would work great for you. Center of tab to center of tab, the mounting tabs are 10 inches apart, side to side. Center of tab front to back is approximately 22 inches apart, 21-15/32 inches to be exact. See the photo I've linked for you.

  • Does Curt Fifth Wheel Rail to Gooseneck Hitch Adapter 16055 Fit Same Rails a Pro Series Hitch Fits
    Yes, the Curt gooseneck hitch adapter part # 16055 will fit perfectly into the rails you have in the bed of your truck that currently has a Pro Series 16k fifth wheel hitch. The rails your hitch and this adapter are designed to fit are the exact same size/dimension. I attached a picture of the adapter installed in a set of rails like you have now as well plus a link to a review video.

    Yes, the Reese 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ram OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package - 25,000 lbs part # RP30154 is compatible with both the Curt Spyder part # 16085 but not the Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails part # 16055. The Reese adapter will give you industry standard fifth wheel rails in your bed by attaching to the puck system but the gooseneck plate peg spacing will not fit into the holes of the adapter.

  • Gooseneck Hitch that Fits in 5th Wheel Rails and Has an Offset
    There is a gooseneck plate that has an offset depending on which way you mount it to the rails in the truck. You will want the Curt item # 16055. I also recommend safety chain loops # C16000 because many places do not allow the safety chain loops to attach to the hitch.

  • Will The Curt 25K Gooseneck Plate fit into Reese Fifth Wheel Rails on a 2004 Chevy Silverado
    Yes, the Curt Gooseneck plate item # 16055 will fit into the Reese rails. All Reese, Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch and Valley brand fifth wheels use essentially the same rails and spacing so that gooseneck plates and fifth wheels are pretty much interchangeable. Remember, the tow capacity will be limited the tow capacity of your install kit and rails.

    The gooseneck hitches we offer that pin into the bed mounted fifth wheel rails are compatible with industry standard fifth wheel rails.

    The hitch ball for the Curt Gooseneck Plate # 16055 referenced in your question is welded into place and cannot be removed. If you are looking for a similar gooseneck plate that attaches to 5th wheel base rails but with a removable hitch ball I recommend taking a look at the Reese Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # RP58079.

    The Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter - 20,000 lbs # AM3200 can work with any standard 5th wheel base rails. There is not a custom fit for your 2002 Chevy Avalanche, so you would need to use the universal base rails # RP30035.

  • Recommendation for Being Able to Tow a Gooseneck and Fifth Wheel Trailer with a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500
    To install a fifth wheel hitch in the bed of your truck you are going to have to remove the gooseneck hitch to install the fifth wheel rails. But what you can do is install the part # 16055 in the fifth wheel rails so that you could tow a gooseneck trailer if needed. The fifth wheel rail kit part # C16301-200 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 though and the slider hitch part# C16546 that you referenced would also be a great choice since you have...

  • Towing Fifth Wheel Trailer With 2006 Nissan Titan
    From what you describe, your trailer isn't very heavy. Pin weight can range from 15-20 percent of the trailer weight, or up to 25 percent for some larger toy haulers. Worst case scenario, you're looking at about 1500 lbs or so of pin weight which is pretty minimal. To determine the towing capacity of your truck, take a look at the sticker on the driver's door jamb. Look for the GCWR, the gross combined weight rating. This represents the maximum amount the trailer and truck can weigh....

Gooseneck trailers typically use the 2-5/16 inch hitch ball like # SC30-C that is also the size used with larger bumper pull trailers, however it is not recommended to tow a gooseneck trailer behind your bumper as they are designed to be towed over the rear axle...

The most popular is the Curt Spyder # 16085 which features spring-loaded safety chain loops for a great looking adapter.

  • Availability of Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Hitch Adapter for 2015 Big Tex 25DU Gooseneck Dump Trailer
    If your truck has a fifth wheel hitch that uses industry standard rails (like those sold by Reese, Curt, Valley and Husky), the easiest way to tow the trailer would be to use a gooseneck ball that attaches to your bed mounted rails like the Curt # 16055. Big Tex tells me they used a Bulldog 4 inch square tube coupler on your trailer, so if your fifth wheel doesn't use industry standard rails, you'd need to remove the existing coupler and install the # BD0289650300 Bulldog Gooseneck to...

    The Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Single Jaw - 21,000 lbs # DM8550045 is not a good option for your 2015 Ram short box with Ram Box. The issue with Ram Box is that it limits the ability to use a 5th wheel hitch because the boxes get in the way of the Pin Box on your trailer. The only option for Ram Box is to use a standard hitch (not a gooseneck adapted hitch) and then a Sidewinder Pin Box to move the turning point of the trailer back 22 inches to avoid...

    The two vehicles are similar but not identical. There is not a confirmed fit for a gooseneck or even 5th wheel custom brackets with rails confirmed to fit your vehicle from any of our manufacturers. My recommendation for you because of this is to use the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10 Bolt # RP30035.

We do have several options for gooseneck trailer hitches that fit in 5th wheel rails. The most economical is Curt 25K Gooseneck Plate, # 16055.

The universal rails will be able to handle the 25,000 lbs. weight rating because the rails are designed to exceed the towing weight capacity of the vehicle it will fit.
