## Overview

The CURT 16055 Bent Plate 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter Hitch transforms your truck’s 5th wheel rails into a versatile gooseneck towing system. Rated for 25,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 6,250 lbs vertical load, it fits all industry-standard rails and features a rugged carbide powder coat finish for superior corrosion resistance. Easy to install and secure, this adapter lets professional drivers effortlessly switch trailer types without compromising bed space or strength.

## Description

Just because you install 5th wheel brackets and rails in your truck bed does not mean your truck is limited to one type of towing. To give your truck the tools it needs to be the ultimate towing machine, CURT offers a gooseneck adapter for a 5th wheel setup. A 5th wheel / gooseneck plate is essentially a gooseneck hitch that mounts into a set of 5th wheel rails just like a 5th wheel trailer hitch. This allows you to pull both 5th wheel trailers and gooseneck trailers with the same pickup truck. CURT 5th wheel gooseneck hitches feature four pin-and-clip attachment points for a solid installation and quick removal when necessary, giving you full access and full use of your truck bed for hauling other loads. Best of all, our gooseneck adapter plates mount onto all industry standard rails. This particular 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter plate features an impressive gross trailer weight capacity of 25,000 lbs., a tongue weight capacity of 6,250 lbs. and offers a 2-5/16" trailer ball for pulling most types of gooseneck trailers, including livestock trailers, chopper boxes, gravity boxes, industrial equipment haulers, flatbeds and more. CURT 5th wheel gooseneck plates and gooseneck 5th wheel adapters are the ultimate versatility tools in heavy-duty towing. We coat our 5th wheel gooseneck hitches in a black carbide powder coat to ensure that they are highly resistant to rust, scratching and UV damage.

Review: Versatile upgrade - This is a great upgrade. I have rails in the bed of my truck for a fifth wheel hitch and this product allows me to also tow a gooseneck trailer when I need to. It’s very well made and heavy. Highly recommended
Review: Snug fit - Fit snug. I had to tap the tabs that hold plate to the rails to make it fit but it may well be my rails. I'd guess it's better snug than able to move while towing.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are the mounting brackets and bolts included with this hitch ?**

**Q: I have a b&w fifth wheel 16k setup. I would like to use gooseneck option of the camper. Will this work?**

**Q: I have fifth wheel rails already in the bed of my truck. They are 10” left to right and 22” front to back. Will this gooseneck plate work?**
A: if it's a standard mount it would work...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Versatile upgrade
*by M***E on October 5, 2025*

This is a great upgrade. I have rails in the bed of my truck for a fifth wheel hitch and this product allows me to also tow a gooseneck trailer when I need to. It’s very well made and heavy. Highly recommended

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Snug fit
*by S***G on December 3, 2025*

Fit snug. I had to tap the tabs that hold plate to the rails to make it fit but it may well be my rails. I'd guess it's better snug than able to move while towing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Curt bent plate gooseneck hitch, Made in the USA, worth the extra money!
*by A***R on June 11, 2025*

This installed to my fifth wheel rails perfectly. I don't have to remove it to put my fifth wheel hitch back because uses different holes and the fifth wheel hitch fits over it. Very well built "Made in the USA". Rated at 25,000lbs and I just put that to the test hauling R. R. ties at capacity with a gooseneck trailer 60 miles in primarily mountain terrain with grades from 6% to 8%. The hitch performed flawlessly. It does have a small amount of play which you can hear stopping and starting at times, but nothing extreme. This costs a bit more than the Chinese knock-offs out there, but is well worth it.
