Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter for 2019 Ford F-250 with Factory Rail Kit Solution  

Question:

I have a 2019 F-250 with the factory installed towing prep. I know that it’s been mentioned that you can’t use this adapter with the factory ball that has the plastic clip but what if it’s used with the Curt gooseneck ball that comes in kit part # C60692? That ball has a metal release clip. Would the nut in the adapter also mess up that Curt ball considering it’s metal and designed differently? I really like the Convert-a-ball adapter ease of install and has no need for drilling/welding like the Andersen adapter.

I still would not recommend the use of the Curt gooseneck ball part # C60692 that you referenced. Although the latch is metal like you mentioned there is still a recessed section on top of the ball that's going to interfere with the nut and over time be an issue.

I know it's not the solution you are wanting but the Ranch Hitch # AM3100 is the better choice for this route.

If your trailer has a Lippert pin box on it though the ultimate solution is a Reese Goose Box like part # RP85FR which replaces the pin box and gives you a cushioned gooseneck coupler.
