Expert Reply:

The Curt A30 part # C64BR is more of a traditional, higher end fifth wheel hitch that fits the 2022 Ram 3500 OEM prep package whereas the PowerRide part # C74BR is a more modern hitch that has more cushioning and movement in the hitch head as well as has a head design that doesn't require grease. They both work really nice but the PowerRide has big advantage of never having to grease the hitch plate.
