Does Curt X5 Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Adapter # 16310 Fit all Gooseneck Hitches

Question:

I got a curt x5 adpater plate yesterday and went to install it in my 2002 GMC Sierra 2500 HD and the pin is about a 1/4 of a hole away from lining up with the curt x5 hole. My truck does have a factory spray in bed liner in it. The hitch thats in my truck Id a hide a hitch gooseneck. I have read other people having problems with the same issue. Any advice on how to get it to pin up? Thanks Thomas

You need to make sure that the gooseneck hitch you have installed in the bed of your truck is the correct fit with the Curt X5 adapter part # 16310 as not every hideaway hitch is compatible with these adapters. The # 16310 only fits B and W Turnoverball gooseneck hitches so you need to verify that's what you have. If you look at the hitch under your truck bed and see a gray colored hitch most likely this is what you have but you should still look for a sticker on it with the brand info.

You shouldn't have to trim back your spray in bed liner as normally that's not an issue.
