Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch to Fit with Curt X5 Adapter on 2015 Ford F-250 Short Bed
Question:
Can I use A16 C-16120 fifth wheel hitch with Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter ? If so would I have to lock my turning point pin box before towing my RV?

Expert Reply:
You will need to use a Curt sliding hitch for the B&W Gooseneck # BWGNRK1111 and Curt X5 Adapter Rails # 16310 on your 2015 Ford F-250 Super Duty because only the Curt sliders will work with the X5.
My recommendation for the slider is the Curt A20 # C16541 because it has an upgraded cushioning and jaw system that gives you the best ride quality available. The dual interlocking jaws wrap around the king pin securely so that you won't get any chucking or jarring when you come to a stop or take off.
You might also be interested in the Curt Wiring # C56070 if you don't already have an in-bed wiring connector. This helps make connecting the wiring from your 5th wheel much easier.
