Video Transcript for Curt Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Review
Jake: Hey guys, it's Jake here with etrailer today. We're going to be taking a look at two different Curt products, but they're going to accomplish the same thing. We're going to be looking at the curd spider and the Curt drop-in plate. Both of them are going to be a gooseneck conversion for your fifth wheel rails that are already in your bed.Now what I like about this is let's say you have a fifth wheel camper that you go camping with for the past couple of years. And you decide that you want to either haul a gooseneck trailer because you got a side project coming up or something like that, but you don't want to take out your bed because you still like going camping. This is designed to help you haul goosenecks in the proper way, by just utilizing the rails that are already in your bed.The first difference is going to be that our safety chain loops on our spider are going to be on the front and they're going to be spring-loaded, just like our standard ones are on your regular goosenecks.
Can be spring-loaded, pull it out, hook your safety chain on there, and you're ready to go. The ball is another area of concern. So the gooseneck ball on our spider is going to sit directly in the center of our two rails. It's also going to sit from the bottom of the spider to the top of the ball, is going to be about seven and a half inches. Let's go ahead and take a look at the Curt plate for gooseneck adapter and show you the difference.
With our Curt plate. You can see that our safety chain loops are incorporated in the plate itself. You just simply hook your safety chain hooks onto these loops, and it's going to be safe to travel down the road.You're going to notice that our ball is going to be slightly offset either to the front or the rear. We can flip this plate around depending on what kind of vehicle that we're towing it with. If we have a long bed, it's not really going to matter which configuration you use it for.
You are going to be able to use it with the ball facing the cab, or more towards the cab. And if you have a short bed truck, which you can do, is you can take the whole plate and have these handy little grip slots that you can put your hands so you don't smash it in between the bed and the sides of our plate. Simply lift it up, spin it around, set it down, and you can see very easily. We just gained about six inches back and neither of our balls are going to be in the center of our two rails.So this is going to give us that extra cab clearance that we need for the nose of our trailer, if you're hauling it in a short bed. The biggest difference between the two gooseneck adapters I'll have to say is going to be the height of your ball.
The height of our ball on our gooseneck plate here is going to be only from the top of your rails to the top of the ball is only going to be about four and a half inches. So you can tell the difference between the sheer size of our spider and our plate is that you're going to gain about three inches if you're using the spider. Whereas if you don't want to have to adjust your coupler on your trailer, or if you can't adjust it enough, we've gotten a lot of reviews that say that they cannot put their coupler any further up inside their gooseneck hitch.So they're going to have to go with the plate because the spider was simply too tall. They couldn't adjust their trailer to the right height to haul it level. Both the hitch adapters are going to install the same way; simply lift it up and drop it into place. Both the spider and the gooseneck plate are going to come with four pins so that you don't have to rely on your pins from your fifth wheel to be able to get it locked into place. Both of the hitches are going to have the same weight capacities. It's going to have a 25,000 pound gross towing weight and a 6,250 pound tongue weight. Both of these hitches are going to have a carbide black powder coat, which is going to be stronger than just your standard powder coat. You're not going to have to worry about it, shipping or flaking, and then potentially rusting your hitch.With that being said, the hitch is made of a sturdy steel construction. And it will say Curt did a very good job of making this out of a very thick quarter inch steel. So when it comes down to it, they're both going to be made out of the same materials. The spider is going to be a little bit heavier and bulkier to put down into place, and it's going to stick up higher, as we went over. They're both going to feature a 2 5/16 ball. So you're not going to have to worry about them being different in that aspect. What it's really going to come down to is what are you using it for And what are you using it with If you have a short bed truck and you have a camper that you're towing with this and that your camper has a gooseneck coupler on it, or maybe you have a horse trailer that has a larger nose, and you'd like a little bit more space for the cab of your truck to have some more clearance. I would definitely go with the Curt plate. If you have a long bed truck, or you have a short bed truck, but you're just hauling a trailer with a simple gooseneck coupler on it, and you don't have any clearance issues. Then I'd go with the spider.

Curt Spyder Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails, 25,000 lbs GTW - 16085
Average Customer Rating: 4.9 out of 5 stars (400 Customer Reviews)

I really like the convenience of this interchangeable hitch. I have the fifth wheel hitch and the goose neck hitch.
by: Mike04/18/2023
Had to hit one of my rails with a 2 lb sledge just a fuzz to let the tab drop in. The locking tabs are a good idea for the pins. I put my late grandfather’s old classic padlock from his jon boat on one of the tabs. A little nostalgia.
by: Daniel05/19/2023
Well built heavy duty fit into the fifth wheel rail with no issue thanks
by: Denny H01/27/2023
I ordered the Curt Spider Gooseneck Hitch and the Wire Harness for my 2020 f250. WOW is all I can say!!! It was delivered to my door less than 20 hours. The hitch is of great quality and I can not wait to put it to work. I will continue to do business with eTrailer.
by: Billy 03/02/2023
Good quality easy installation
by: Christopher 01/29/2024
I received the hitch in a short amount of time. It fit perfectly on my fifth wheel rails. I towed a tractor the next day and it worked great. I am very pleased with the product.
by: Lorraine S07/27/2020
it fit our Reese 5th wheel hitch rails perfectly. We hooked our gooseneck 4 horse trailer to it and it pulled just fine.
by: Curtis 07/26/2022
Great purchase as it has performed perfectly. Allows me to switch between my 5th wheel hitch and gooseneck as needed. Others that have seen it have been impressed also.

I have used this a great amount of time in the last year. It has been a real blessing and has so much flexibility for us to switch between 5th wheel to goose-neck tow modes. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to have the ability to switch back and forth between 5th wheel and goose-neck.

This system allows for easy change from gooseneck to fifth wheel with just 4 pins.
by: Jack06/13/2023
I have 2 curt 20k fifth wheel hitches. Both slip into the bedrails perfectly. This curt goosneck hitch did not fit the rails perfectly. I had to grind the feet to fit in the rail slot. Other than that it works as expected

I have gotten in contact with the manufacturer and they have confirmed that the 16085 should just into the rails just like the fifth wheel. The 16085 could have been bent, the unit should measure 22” front to back on the pin holes. Do you have any pictures of the fit on this as well?
by: Nate 12/29/2023
Simple enough. Does the job. Some movement compared to a solid frame mounted gooseneck.
by: Ken08/26/2023
Looks great, super beefy, dropped right into my fifth wheel rails ,great looking welds,quality construction
by: Daniel07/05/2018
I bought this gooseneck Hitch back in 2016 I can't say I've used it everyday of the week but I do use it pull a cattle trailer occasionally and I've used it to pull 20,000lbs of silage bales out of the field and it's held up great no stress points or anything showing paint has held up great. It's a very heavy built hitch I would deffenitly recommend it to anyone that has the rails in there truck and is doin pretty stressful towing. It also sits the trailer up a lil higher and I love that really helps with twisting and turns.
by: Darrell CAldwell Sr.05/10/2019
I installed this in minutes and it is just what I needed because my travel trailer fits over this hitch at same time so I always have this hitch in truck. It looks good to me also. It is a solid made product so I have no Cons for this unit. I would recommend this for any one that does not want to change his fifth wheel rail type mounts to the expenses hid away hitch to use a goose mount hitch.
by: Pete 10/25/2023
Well built and arrived when promised. Fit like a glove, on the rails of my 20 year old F250. If the finish holds up like the Curt bed rails have, I’ll be very plesased
by: Jonathan11/13/2019
Received my hitch in just a few days, haven’t used it yet. I’m glad products like this exist so I can hook up to a gooseneck. I chose this one because I have curt rails and I like the spring loaded safety chain loops.
by: Mike O09/24/2020
It has worked very well for what I need, I like to be able to switch back and fourth from gooseneck to fifth wheel, this is a great product highly recommend it!!!
by: Rachel 03/06/2024
This procuct works just like i would expect. easy install and works great
by: Bruce07/30/2021
I have a fifth wheel hitch already and needed to tow Gooseneck trailers. Was able to use fifth wheel base and mount Gooseneck hitch right to it. Works great.
by: Chris02/27/2020
Sturdy built product. Didnt exactly fall into my rail slots but a few whacks with the BFH while standing on it and it aligned.
Great option for getting a gooseneck ball in truck bought with fifth wheel rails compared to putting whole new ball hitch in. Ordered 2-24 arrived 2-26.
by: Charles11/05/2020
VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE HITCH, AS WAS THE GUY THAT I BOUGHT THE GOOSE NECK TRAILER FROM. I TOLD HIM ABOUT ETRAILER AND HOW GOOD YOUR SERVICE WAS AND PRICES. AND AS ALWAYS THE SHIPPING WAS FAST! THE THING WEIGHS ALOT! I AM GUESSING THAT THE LEGS ARE SOLID STEEL!
by: MARION FLOWERS08/17/2015
THE SPYDER GOOSENECK HITCH WAS RECEIVED FROM ETRAILER VERY QUICKLY. IT ONLY TOOK 5 MIN. TO INSTALL. FIT LIKE A GLOVE. PUT IN PINS AND GOING TO PULL MY 33 FT. CAMPER SOON.
by: Kayla04/17/2018
Very very pleased worked perfectly with my rail system and is super easy to install. Very fast delivery with just the free delivery ordered on 4/13 and received it 4/17.. only thing i will say is its a little taller then i thought it would be but on a non lifted truck there would be completely no problem my truck does have a lift so does make the trailer sit more unlevel then a flat bed mount would but im still extremely pleased with it... will definitely use this company again for anything i need...

- Can The Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Be Used To Haul Gooseneck Trailers The Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter # AM3200 technically could be used to connect to a gooseneck trailer, but the ball would sit much higher than normal gooseneck towing and make the trailer too nose high. If you have base rails the better option would be the Curt Spyder Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails # 16085. This would mount into the base rails and give you a gooseneck ball attachment point.
view full answer... - Gooseneck Hitch for 2016 Ram 2500 with In-Bed Factory Fifth Wheel PucksTo use your fifth wheel pucks for a gooseneck hitch is possible by using an adapter like # RP30154 to provide rails , an adapter like # 16085 and safety chain mounts, part # C16000. This would allow you to pull a gooseneck trailer without installing an underbed hitch, but it's more expensive than installing a hitch like the Curt # C60614 hitch, which will install on the existing cross member under the bed. If you don't already have an in-bed 7-way trailer connector, you can install one...

However, if your Demco Hijacker fits under bed UMS Demco rails like the Demco Hijacker part # DM8550032 you can use the Demco Hijacker UMS Series Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for UMS Series Base Rails part # DM5988. The adapter will attach to the UMS underbed rails and give you a goose neck ball in the truck. You will have to remove the Hijacker to do this. If the truck already has industry standard 5th wheel...

- Can 2008 GMC Sierra 5-1/2 Foot Bed Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer and Tow Gooseneck TrailerSince you know the bed length of your 2008 GMC Sierra 1500 is so short at 5-1/2 feet in length what you are asking for is a bit challenging to accomplish but I do have one solution that will work and allow you to use your Curt E16 hitch. You are going to have to install a set of truck bed fifth wheel rails as there's no other way (I'll get to more on this later). So for a custom fifth wheel rail kit for your truck you would want the part # RP50064-58 from Reese as there isn't a Curt option,...

If you can not lock out your slider than I recommend the Curt Spyder Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails Item # 16085. This adapter mounts to industry standard 5th wheel rails, has a 2-5/16" trailer ball, comes with safety chain attachments, and also includes pins and clips for rail attachment.

- Troubleshooting Gooseneck Hitch that Won't Lock onto 2-5/16 inch BallIt really sounds like your gooseneck hitch is designed for a 3 inch gooseneck ball. I know you said that you attached to your friends B and W hitch, but B and W offers a 3 inch ball # BWGNXA2025. The 3 inch setup is less common but it is still seen out there. If your trailer is larger it is very possible that you need a 3 inch ball. Which there are no adapters like the Spyder that have 3 inch balls. This would call for the replacement of your coupler or the install of a gooseneck hitch...
view full answer... - Gooseneck Trailer Hitch that Fits in 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Rails on a 2013 GMC SierraThe Q20 5th wheel trailer hitch fits in above the bed rails. There are several gooseneck plates that you can use in those rails. If you want to stick with Curt then you can use # 16085. I personally like # 16055 because it can be positioned with the ball further back in an offset position for additional clearance between the trailer and truck. I have linked all the plates. Please note the only one that you cannot use is # RP30845 because it only fits a Reese Elite series underbed system.

But it will be much easier, less expensive, and you will not have to use an adapter in another adapter to just use the proper ball to fit the OEM prep package on your Ram. The ball is # RP19311. For a kit that includes the ball, safety chain loops, cap, and storage bag use # RP30140.

The issue is that the adapter only has the outer most sets of slots for mounting a hitch. The Reese gooseneck hitch fits in the inner most set which are not present on the adapter. The Curt Spyder, # 16085, is the only one that would fit. When using a 5th wheel hitch you will want to go with a slider since you have a short bed truck....

This will allow you to connect to a gooseneck ball in your 2022 Dodge Ram. This has a 7-1/2" cushioned offset that will increase your turning radius.

The Curt Spyder gooseneck plate # 16085 will fit in the 20-1/2 inch slots on the adapter. I have linked a video review of this hitch for you.

- Comparing the Curt Spyder and Curt 25k Gooseneck Trailer Hitches for 5th Wheel RailsFirst, I have included a link to all of the gooseneck hitches we carry that fit in 5th wheel rails. The Curt Spyder, # 16085, has a low profile design and it is heavier than the Pro Series plate style hitch # 49080. Besides that, there really are not a lot of differences. The big advantage that the Curt 25k adapter item # 16055 has is that it can be oriented so that the ball is closer to the back of the truck for more clearance when towing with a short bed truck. For me, I like the Curt...

One easy way to determine what you have would be to measure the distance between the centers of the rails. If they are 22 inches and look like what I attached a picture of then this adapter will work.
