If you want to use a 5th wheel hitch with your Curt Double Lock, Flip and Store Underbed Gooseneck Hitch # C60720 the first thing you will need is the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter # C16210. This will give you industry standard rails (ISR) that will allow you to use a hitch like the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3200. Keep in mind, this is not compatible with a rotating pin box or the Curt CrossWing.
The Patriot has a 3/4" thick dual jaw for 360 degree contact along with a non-binding cam-action latch handle. The handle allows you to release the jaws with ease, even on uneven terrain. It comes with a lifetime warranty and is made in the USA. This model has a 16,000 lb gross towing weight but there is an 18k model # BWRVK3255 as well if you need more.
