How To Install 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Rails On Truck with Curt Gooseneck Hitch
Question:
Can I install this on my 2016 Silverado 2500HD pickup with a Curt Gooseneck hitch installed?

Expert Reply:
The only option for fifth wheel base rails when you have a Curt gooseneck hitch installed is the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter, part # C16210 if you have the Curt Double Lock or part # C16220 if you have the EZr. These adapters will then allow you to install most above bed mounted fifth wheel hitches for the exception of the B&W Patriot Slider. I recommend the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Slider part # C16541.
There is no option to use the Reese Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches.
