The differences between the Curt X5 adapters is what they will fit. X5 adapter # C16220 fits Curt EZr Double-Lock gooseneck hitches. And X5 adapter # C16210 fits Curt Double Lock, Flip and Store gooseneck hitches such as # C60720.
There is also an X5 adapter, # 16310, that fits B&W gooseneck hitches. So basically if you have any of the above mentioned gooseneck hitches you can use the appropriate X5 adapter. view full answer...
The differences in height between the two adapters is very minimal. The Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider - Ram Towing Prep Package # C16022 adds 1-1/2" to the height of a hitch while the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ram OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package # DM6099 adds 1-3/8" to the height of a hitch. So the Demco is just 1/8" lower than the option from Curt. view full answer...

The biggest difference to note is the shank from the bottom of the adapter is a different length. The # C16210 has a shank that is 4.41 inches long and the # C16220 has a shank that is 4.66 inches long. So the difference in the length also means the hole... view full answer...
The Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter - 12" to 16" Tall - 20,000 lbs, # CAB-C5G, is a good adapter, but every adapter has it's weak points. They add unnecessary stress to your hitch and trailer frame and some manufacturers recommend adapters like this not be used with their pin boxes, but they do work well for the weekend getaway from time to time as long as the manufacturer approves its use.

MaxxTow specifically lists their adapter as only being compatible with Class II hitches. Regardless of any dimensions that may suggest otherwise, this is the information that comes from the manufacturer. The Brophy # HT5R does not have this limitation.
In addition to the Class I and Class II compatibility the Brophy has, there is also the quality to consider. The Brophy adapter is going to be a higher quality product when compared to the MaxxTow adapter. view full answer...
The Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package - 6-1/2' Bed - 21K # DM6194 will have 4 corners that drop into your pucks and the center post will fit into your gooseneck hitch location. The center post has a lever to lock the adapter into place and then a thumb screw tightens that down to secure it. The 5th wheel hitch will fit right over this adapter to make it more secure. I've attached a video to help.
That 5th point of connection is the biggest... view full answer...
The Ranch Hitch part # AM3139 is a great solution for towing a fifth wheel trailer with a truck that has a gooseneck hitch. The advantage to this over the Hi Rise part # 9480 is that the gooseneck hitch in the truck does not matter. As long as there is a 2-5/16 inch ball in the bed of the truck this adapter will fit it.
The Hi Rise has a more specific fit. It can only fit B&W Turnover Ball, Hide-A-Goose by Draw Tite or Reese, or Under-Bed by Bulldog. If you had one of these hitches this... view full answer...
Yes, a swing away adapter is a great idea. For a swing away hitch adapter, I recommend the Kuat Pivot 2 # PVP20B which has a weight capacity of 250 lbs. The 250 lb limit is enough to carry two 62 lb bikes and the 80 lb Hollywood Racks bike carrier.
We do have license plate relocation kits available, such as # 32-0055. However, I think attaching your license plate to the swing away adapter would cause your license plate to be obstructed from view, especially when using the bike rack with... view full answer...
As you have mentioned, there are several 5th wheel trailer to gooseneck trailer hitch adapters available. They can be looked at in a good, better, best type of format.
Starting with the best we have the Goose Box from Reese. The Goose Box will replace the existing pin box on the trailer with one that has a gooseneck coupler on it rather than a king pin. The Goose Box adapters will only fit on certain model pin boxes. Goose Box # RP85FR fits Lippert 0719, 1621 and 1621HD and Fabex PB-600... view full answer...
The B&W Companion Slider Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # BWRVK3400 is the same as the B&W Companion Slider Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # BWRVK3400-5W which are the same as the B&W Companion Slider Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part BWRVK3405. The latter is the manufactures part number and the two formers are our part numbers we use to help fit guide the hitches but I would not look too far into this. I know this can be confusing but... view full answer...
The B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # BWRVK3500 is just simply a newer version of the B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part RVK3000. The head between each unit is the same but the Replacement Base for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVB3500 is made of thicker steel than the old base which allows it to have a 20,000 lb towing capacity compared to the 18,000 lb towing capacity of the B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel... view full answer...
There are a few adapters available for your 2021 Ford F-250 that will allow you to use the Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System # AM3200.
First is the Curt Adapter Rails # C88KR. This adapter is rated for 25,000lbs and bolts together. Since the assembly bolts together it can be configured to work with both Ford and GM puck systems.
Next is the Reese Elite Series Underbed Rail Adapter # RP30156. This adapter is rated up to 20,000lbs and is welded together. The... view full answer...
Yes, there are fifth-wheel to gooseneck adapters and we do carry them.
Gooseneck hitches are typically used to haul construction or agricultural trailers and fifth-wheel hitches are mainly used to haul campers. Gooseneck hitches are usually rated to haul 25,000 to 30,000 pounds, some fifth-wheel hitches are capable of doing the same, but other fifth-wheel hitches are rated lower. When towing, your towing setup is only as strong as the weakest towing component, whether it is your hitch,... view full answer...
If you want to use a bike rack that's designed for a 2 inch receiver opening, using a 2 inch receiver would always be your best bet. Using an adapter will reduce the tongue weight capacity (maximum amount of downward force that could be applied to the hitch without causing damage) by half. If you used a Class II hitch with a 300 lb tongue weight capacity, using the adapter would reduce the capacity to 150 lbs. This means that the weight of the bike rack plus the bikes placed upon it couldn't... view full answer...
According to my contact at Curt, the X5 does not require a support kit because it has the rails and attachments needed as part of the assembly. It sits flush with the bed so it does not need a separate subkit because the subkit is already installed. Also the rails on the Curt X5 Fifth Wheel Adapter for B&W Square Shank Turnover Ball Hitches, # 16310, have more openings for more 5th wheel installation options than the Valley B&W Gooseneck to Fifth Wheel Hitch Adapter Plate, # V70881.

The B&W Patriot Slider hitch # BWRVK3270 has a shipping weight of 221-lbs, compared to the Companion Slider # BWRVK3400 which is 281-lbs.
Although the B&W Companion 5th Wheel hitch # BWRVK3400 does weigh a good bit, thanks to its superior construction, using it in the B&W turnover ball setup will give you better towing performance than a standard slider hitch used in the Curt X5 adapter. By eliminating that additional component you will reduce rattle and play in the system.

Though the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # DM8550045 is rated a little higher at 21,000 pounds, it does only have 3 inches of offset.
The Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5GX1216, on the other hand, will have 7 1/2 inches of offset. The # CAB-C5GX1216 will also install on the pin box of the trailer, so you will not need to remove a hitch from the bed of your vehicle when not in use.
With that being said, I prefer the # CAB-C5GX1216. view full answer...
Both adapters will fit the puck system in your 2023 Ram 2500. The # C16022 is designed to work only with Curt brand sliding fifth wheel hitches like the # C16541. The # C29BR is more of a universal adapter and can be used with both sliding and fixed fifth wheel hitches. The # C29BR will also work with other brands of fifth wheel hitch such as B&W and Reese. It will work with most fifth wheel hitches designed for industry standard rails.
We generally recommend a slider for short bed models,... view full answer...
The Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter # C16210 is only compatible with the original Curt Double Lock Gooseneck trailer hitch, while the Curt X5 5th-Wheel Base Rail Adapter Plate # C16220 fits the new EZr Curt Double Lock Gooseneck trailer hitch.
The easiest way to find the one you have is the new EZr uses 5/8" diameter safety chain u-bolts while the original only used 1/2" diameter u-bolts. view full answer...
