Recommendation For Best Choice For Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Adapter For Fifth Wheel Rails
Question:
Are there any advantages in using the curt spyder gooseneck hitch vs the curt bent plate gooseneck hitch? Will be towing a 16 ft dump trailer and just trying to figure out if the wider stance of the spyder hitch on the 5th wheel rails has any advantages.

Expert Reply:
Both the Curt Spyder Gooseneck Trailer Hitch For Fifth Wheel Rails, Item # 16085, and the Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch For Fifth Wheel Rails, Item # 16055, will work well for you.
They both have a weight capacity of 25,000-lbs and a vertical load limit of 6,250-lbs. Both options work with most industry standard fifth hitch rails like Curt, Reese, Valley, Draw-Tite, etc. One major difference is that the Spyder sits 7-1/2 inches above the rails at the highest point whereas the Above-Bed plate will sit lower with the top of the ball about 5 inches from the top of the rails.
Between the two, I would choose the one that works best with regards to the height above the rails with your dump trailer that you will be towing with your 2007 Chevrolet Silverado Classic.
I have attached some videos for you to check out.
