Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for a B and W Turnover Companion Gooseneck Hitch
Question:
I have the Curt 16210 X5 adapter plate for a Curt Q20 5th wheel hitch. I had a BandW Turnover Ball Companion hitch in my previous truck, which I really enjoyed. This Curt hitch is quite finicky compared to my old BandW, and therefore I am interested in a better hitch that will fit my X5 adapter and rated for 18K or more. I know there is the 18K Patriot from BandW, but is there something else that works as easily that would be rated for 18K or 20K? Thanks

Expert Reply:
You can't go wrong with a B and W fifth wheel hitch. A lot of the installers here say they are their favorite hitches.
Since you have a Turnover gooseneck hitch you could use a Companion Slider 20k Hitch part # BWRVK3400 and not have to mess with the adapter at all. This would be your best choice honestly. The B and W Patriot only has a 16k capacity and doesn't slide so it would not be a good option.
You could also sell the X5 to offset the cost of the Companion if you wanted to as well.
