Best Slider Fifth Wheel Recommendation for 2016 GMC Sierra 3500 with B and W Turnoverball Gooseneck
Question:
I currently have a B/W turn over ball assembly in my new GMC HD 66inch truck My old 5th wheel truck was a super duty using a 16K pull rite super glide, utilizing the gooseneck ball and two rearward pin points. Can this system work with the curt gooseneck adapter? If not what type of 5th wheel manual slider would best work in this application, coupled with the curt gooseneck adapter?

Expert Reply:
Since you have a B and W Turnoverball Gooseneck hitch installed in your 2016 GMC Sierra 3500 the Curt adapter part # 16310 would fit it and give you a set of industry standard fifth wheel rails.
However, a Slider Companion part # BWRVK3400 would be your absolute best solution instead of the Curt adapter. This will fit the Turnoverball gooseneck hitch as-is without an adapter and will give you a slider hitch that would work well. Many argue that the Companion hitches are the best fifth wheel hitches on the market so I would highly recommend you go this route.
