Is Curt Fifth Wheel Hitch Adapter # C16023 Compatible With Husky Fixed Fifth Wheel Hitch
Question:
Is there a way for me to verify by measurements that my Husky Hitch will work with this adapter? I have read the note about the Hitch needing to be fixed and not a slider, mine is fixed, i am just wanting to verify before making the purchase. Thank you,

Expert Reply:
The Curt Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider # C16023 will work with your Husky fifth wheel hitch if your hitch works with industry-standard rails. They have not been tested together but should be compatible. If you have a short bed on your Silverado, a slider is strongly recommended.
Another option for your 2017 Silverado if it is a short bed, is to buy a sliding fifth wheel hitch that is compatible with the # C16023 like part # C16541.
If you have an 8 ft bed on your Silverado, I recommend part # C16530-16025. This is a 20,000 lb hitch that drops into the pucks that are part of the underbed rails.
