How Can I Convert my Fifth Wheel Hitch Rails to Haul a Gooseneck Trailer
Question:
I believe I have a pro series 16k 5 th wheel hitch in my used 2016 f250 super duty truck. What gooseneck rail adapter would work? Are they easily removable from the rail?

Expert Reply:
If I understand correctly you have something similar to the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Square Tube Slider part # RP30051 and the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # RP56016-53 currently installed in your 2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty.
You now want to use that to haul a gooseneck trailer which can happen easily by using the Curt Gooseneck Plate for Fifth Wheel Rails part # 16055. This is designed to fit right into the industry standard rails you have and will allow you to safely haul your trailer.
Check out the linked video on it.
