An adapter plate that lets a truck with fifth wheel rails also pull gooseneck trailers. It does not supply rails, so the bed must already carry industry-standard ones.

Overview
Not a stand-alone gooseneck ball, this is a plate that locks into industry-standard fifth wheel rails and presents a welded ball for gooseneck trailers. Pin-and-clip points hold it down and release it when the bed is needed for other loads.
It earns its place for owners who tow both fifth wheel and gooseneck trailers behind one pickup. The ball is welded, so the size cannot be swapped, and the rails have to be in the bed before any of this applies.
Who it's for
Livestock, flatbed or equipment trailer owners who switch between trailer styles behind one truck. Anyone who needs a different ball size or an offset other than the one listed should choose another model.
Pros and cons
- Mounts to industry-standard rails
- Welded ball with safety chain slots
- Pins release for a clear truck bed
- Black powder coat resists rust
- Ball size is fixed
- Rails sold and installed separately
- Rated for one vertical load only
Performance notes
Load passes through the rails to the truck frame, so the plate is only as capable as the rail system under it. The welded ball removes any hitch pin between ball and plate, and the offset sets where the trailer pivots relative to the rail position.

Frequently asked questions
Can the CURT 16055 be used without 5th wheel rails?
No. It mounts to industry-standard rails, so the truck bed needs them first.
Can I still haul other loads with it installed?
The pin-and-clip attachment points allow quick removal, which frees the truck bed for other loads.
