Expert Answers about Gooseneck Hitch


  • Availability of 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter That Clamps to Gooseneck Hitch Ball
  • The Curt X5 Fifth Wheel Adapter you mentioned, part # 16310 isn't designed to attach directly to a gooseneck ball. The square shank of the adapter is meant to fit into the square hole where the ball would install into a B&W Turnover Ball Gooseneck Hitch. I've linked the instructions for you. If you currently have a B&W Turnover Ball Gooseneck Hitch, the # 16310 adapter would work great for you. You'd release and remove the gooseneck ball and insert the shank of the adapter in its place,...

  • 5th Wheel Hitch Adapter for Use with Bulldog Round Shank Gooseneck Hitch in 2015 Silverado 2500
  • Curt makes several versions of their X5 5th wheel base rail adapter, such as # C16210 that fits their Double Lock gooseneck and # 16310 that fits the B&W Turnoverball gooseneck but there is not a version confirmed to fit the Bulldog round-shank gooseneck setup. I confirmed with my contact at Curt. However, you do not even need base rails to use a 5th wheel hitch. Since you have the Bulldog gooseneck you can directly install the Draw-Tite Hi-Rise Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter...

  • Available Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Hitch Adapters for 2008 Ford F-350 Short Bed

  • B&W Companion to Curt Turnover Gooseneck Hitch Ball Adapter
  • B&W gooseneck hitch balls such as part # BWGNXA2010 feature a square shank that fits into the square opening of a B&W gooseneck hitch such as # BWGNRK1309. Curt gooseneck balls use a round shank and the two types are not compatible. No adapters are available to allow use of a square peg in a round hole. If you care to provide the year/make/model/version of your truck I will be happy to see what options we can offer in 5th wheel hitches.

  • Is There A Replacement Hitch Ball Available For A Gooseneck Hitch With A 2" Diameter Hole
  • The # BWHB94009 you were looking at is designed for use on ball mounts and wouldn't be the right option for your gooseneck hitch. Unfortunately a lot of older model Dodge Rams had this smaller gooseneck hitch installed and we currently don't offer a compatible replacement. The only solution I can offer would be to replace your current hitch with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Flatbed Trucks # BWGNRK1500.
