5th Wheel Hitch Options for Pickup with B&W Gooseneck Hitch Installed
Question:
Does anyone know if a Husky EZRoller 5th wheel hitch will fit the Curt 5th wheel gooseneck adapter plate? The distance between the attachment rails on the Husky hitch is 18 inches. Thanks.

Expert Reply:
5th wheel base rails use standardized dimensions and spacing to allow for a 5th wheel from one maker to work fine in base rails from another hitch.
The Curt X5 Adapter # 16310 shares these standard rail dimensions but it cannot be used with slider hitches like the Husky, only with fixed (non-sliding) hitches.
If you have a B&W gooseneck hitch already installed in your truck the better option is to use their mating Companion hitch # BWRVK3500 for a long bed or their slider version # BWRVK3400 for a short bed. These drop right into the center hole and provide a 5th wheel attachment without need for adapters.
