Towing
Fifth-wheel and gooseneck hitches both live in the bed, but they use different couplers and prep. Choose the system your trailer already has, then confirm truck payload and bed length.
We stock CURT towing gear for this job, with free shipping anywhere in Canada.

How they differ
Fifth-wheels use a hinged plate and jaws. Goosenecks use a bed ball and coupler. Adapters exist in limited cases — read ratings carefully and prefer a native match.
Shopping rule
Start with the trailer coupler type. Then check payload, bed length, and CURT kit notes for your cab configuration. Wiring and brakes still matter on both systems.
