5th Wheel To Gooseneck Adapter Using A Draw-Tite Underbed Gooseneck Hitch

Question

Question:

Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Trailer Hitches - 20,000 lbs Item # C16210 is this adapter compatible with a draw tite single lock under bed round gooseneck ? If not, do you have anything that will work on my hitch?? I have a 2013 F250 Short wheel base truck and have to use a pullrite hitch.

I do have some options available for you however, the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter part # C16210 is not compatible with the Draw-Tite Underbed Gooseneck Hitches.

Unfortunately, there are not any 5th wheel adapter plates that fit the Draw-Tite gooseneck therefore, you have two options. You can use a 5th wheel to gooseneck pin box adapter like the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter part # CAB-C5GX1216 which has a 7-1/2" offset to account for turning clearance.

The other option for you is to remove your gooseneck hitch and install a set of base rails compatible with your PullRite 5th wheel hitch. In order to recommend the base rail kit for the PullRite 5th Wheel Hitch, I would need to know the model of your current 5th wheel hitch. If you can provide me with this information then I would be happy to offer my recommendation. This will be your only option if cab clearance is your main concern.

The Convert-A-Ball adapter will prove to be the most cost efficient option you have. The adapter is rated for 20,000 lbs. and will accept 2-5/16" hitch balls.

I have attached a review and installation video of the adapter for you.

Hey David, from previous customers of ours who have the same 2020 Keystone Raptor 424 we have determined that your pin box style is the Lippert 1621 which means for a Gen-Y gooseneck adapter you'd want the #GY58GR that you referenced.
