Video Transcript for Hands-On with the Curt 10" Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Lube Plate

Today we're going to review part number 16721. This is the Curt 10-inch 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Lube Plate. This will protect your 5th wheel hitch in your 5th wheel trailer when you use this Curt Lube Plate. It's a 10-inch diameter disk that will easily slide onto the kingpin of your 5th wheel trailer and eliminates any messy grease deposits and it will reduce normal wear and tear when you're towing your 5th wheel trailer with your 5th wheel hitch. Again, just to measure the diameter for you. Edge to edge it's going to be right at 10 inches and thickness on it is going to be right at about 3/16 of an inch. Just to show you, here's an example of a .. This is what the kingpin would look like on your 5th wheel trailer.

You just install this onto the kingpin itself and then when this installs into the 5th wheel hitch, it will give you a nice protection between your pin box of your 5th wheel trailer and the 5th wheel hitch itself. You remove it just like that. That should do it for the review on part number 16721, the Curt 10-inch 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Lube Plate. .

Good solid plate



by:

The fifth wheel hitch from B&W delivery was seamless. I enjoyed working with etrailer. I will be using them again. Vert easy!



by:

Works as intended. It stays on when disconnected. I have had other types that fall off every time I unhook. Will purchase again if needed



by:

Since I have a TurningPoint hitch I use a Wedge behind my Kingpin. So it required marking the outline of the wedge and trimming the Lube Plate on my bandsaw to fit precisely on the wedge. So far it seems to work fine. So much nicer than all the grease.



by:

Very happy with my fifth wheel hotch. Easy instructions to put together

Love the service provided great friendly folks to work with. Very quick response time and
parts delivered quickly. Thank you all and look forward to future orders with you all..



by:

Works great! I use a similar product on my tractor trailers and I like these just the same. They are reasonably priced, easy to install and last forever! It’s still very important to grease the jaws and king pin but they really preserve the plate and hitch.



by:

Very easy to use, and don't have to deal with grease on the surface of the hitch

The Curt lube plate has held up nicely for more than a year. Weve taken the trailer on 8-10 trips during that time frame.



by:

Great product, heavy duty, good heavy welds. Sharp edges, had to grind, but worth it. A lot cheaper in cost than other ones, always happy was price and products from etrailer. Super fast shipping.



by:

Always doing 110 percent and I like that thank you.



by:

So far so good! About 6000 miles on it.



by:

Works as expected. Hopefully last a long time.



by:

Perfect fit on my 2019 Solitude kingpin.



by:

Works well, I just wipe it clean every couple of times.



by:

Works great. Saves on having to lube and have grease on everything.

I made this purchase so that I did not have to keep removing my 5th wheel hitch to use my gooseneck ball attachment. This item worked out well and made it much easier to hockup my dump trailer.

  • B&W Companion Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500
    For your 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500 the B and W Companion hitch part # BWRVK3700 is the best option you have for the factory rail kit. The Companion hitches are among the nicest hitches around and are considered by most as the best fifth wheel hitch. This would be a great solution. This also will easily work with a Lippert Trailair pin box. For a B&W Companion hitch I recommend using a 10 inch diameter lube plate. We have the Reese Lube Plate, # RP83002, which is my top choice, and the...

  • How To Choose the Correct Lube Plate
    Generally speaking, the lube plate will need to cover the skid plate on the 5th wheel hitch. There are some pin boxes out there that will recommend a specific lube plate but most of the times this classification will be from the 5th wheel hitch manufacturer. The two most common sizes for a lube plate in regards to diameter are, 10" and 12". However, most of the time the 5th wheel hitch manufacturer will call for a certain thickness so you will need to check this as well in your owner's...

  • B&W Companion Latch Handle Stuck and Wont Unlatch
    I am a big advocate of preventative maintenance, a little bit of maintenance can save a lot of time and frustration down the road. So I recommend lubricating the hitch well and making sure that you are in line with the trailer on level ground so unhooking is a little easier. The B&W Companion Slider Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BWRVK3400 has 4 main points that need to be lubricated. The polyurethane bushings (that the head sits on) need a thin layer of white lithium...

  • Does The Demco Recon 5TH Wheel Hitch Need Lube or a Teflon Plate?
    I recommend using a Lube Plate # 16721 over covering the Demco Recon 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550043 in Grease # L74FR. The lube plate is much cleaner and you will not have to constantly clean off the dirt and apply new grease over time.

  • What Lube Plate Should I Go With For A 25k 5th Wheel Hitch?
    Hey Bob, A great option that I recommend for a lube plate on your hitch is the 10" Curt plate # 16721. This works for a variety of hitches and is super simple to install. It just slips over the king pin and keeps that 5th wheel from getting scratched up. What 5th wheel hitch are you using?

  • Is it Possible to Adjust Jaws on Curt Q16 5th Wheel Hitch
    I spoke with my contact at Curt about your Curt Q16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, part # C16120, and he said a little play is to be expected in order for the pin to rotate freely. So the jaws should not fit too tightly around the king pin. The jaws are operated by springs. The first time you used your 5th wheel hitch the springs may have been a little stiff. By the second time you used the 5th wheel you likely loosened up the springs and the jaws, resulting in the play you noticed. Also if...

  • When Should I Replace The Lube Plate With A New One?
    Hello Dan, good question. There is not a set-in-stone answer here because there are so many different factors that can affect the lifespan of a 5th wheel lube plate. The terrain you are going over, the weight of your trailer, and the frequency with which you use it are all really important and will impact how often you need to change it. A good rule of thumb is to just replace it every season, but they can last much longer than this in some cases. Take a look at your lube plate and see...

  • Can a Different Brand Lube Plate Be Used W/ a Pullrite 5th Wheel
    Hey Jeff, we don't sell the puck system unfortunately, but you can use the Curt 10" Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Lube Plate # 16721 which is made by Curt with the Pullrite 5th wheel. If there is something else I can do for you, please feel free to drop a comment and let me know!

  • Looking For B&W Patriot Slider For 2007 Dodge Ram 1500
    Hello Luke, thanks for reaching out. The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BW38XR is exactly correct for your 2007 Ram 1500. It comes with the hitch itself, plus the in bed rails, brackets and all hardware. So it is everything you need to install and use the hitch. The only other thing you might want to consider is the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness # C56001 which will add a 7-way plug to the bed of your truck. You will also want a Lube Plate # 16721 if you don't have...

  • What Size Lube Plate Fits B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Ford Super Duty # BWRVK3305
    The lube plate size that B&W has recommended is 10", although the 12" will also work. The lube plates that are 10" are the Lube Plate for Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10" Diameter # RP83002 and the Curt 10" Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Lube Plate # 16721 will both work with the B&W Companion.

  • Does The Curt PowerRide 30K Require A Lube Plate?
    We do carry the Curt PowerRide 30K hitch for your 2024 GMC 3500 with the factory prep. The hitch you are looking for is the # C36WR. The 30K gross towing weight and 7,500 pin weight rating make this one of the strongest hitches on the market today. You can use a lube plate like the # 16721 with this hitch, but it is not required. The built in lube plates are made to wear down and will need to be replaced over time. There are "ridges" on the built in lube plates. Once the ridges are no...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 w/ Towing Prep Package
    Congrats on the new truck! To add a 5th wheel hitch to your long bed 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500, I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch item # BWRVK3710 for a 20,000 lbs capacity or item # BWRVK3715 for a 25,000 lbs capacity. These 5th wheel hitches will mount directly to the puck system for easy installation and removal. I really like B&W's hitches because of the reliability and the Companion's 1" thick dual jaws will give you a 360-degree jaw to kingpin contact. This system...

  • Curt A16 5th Wheel Hitch Coupling Issue Troubleshooting
    It sounds to me like the Curt A16 hitch # C16120 may need to be lubricated. You might also have a spring or some other internal component that is about to fail. Lubricate before each individual use and every 1,000 miles thereafter. Black graphite grease is recommended for the jaw, pins and the lower bearing assembly jaw. High-pressure wheel bearing grease is preferred for the skid plate. NOTE: In severe cold temperatures a lighter grease, such as white lithium, may be substituted for the...

  • Lube Plate Compatibility With Demco 21K Autoslide 5TH Wheel Hitch and Lippert Rhino Box Adapter
    Demco recommends using a 3/16" or thinner Lube Plate # 16721 with their Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550035. With the addition of the Demco Autoslide Locking Plate for Lippert Rhino Pin Boxes # DM76FR you have I recommend using a dry lube on the mating surfaces to reduce wear. A good silicone dry lube like the Spray # RM-747 will not attract and hold dirt like grease.

It is the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package item # BWRVK3775. The Companion Slider has a 20,000 lbs capacity and will give you 12" of travel for making tight turns and backing.

  • Recommended Lube Plate for B&W Patriot 18K 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch
    For your B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3255, B&W recommends using a 10 inch lube plate like the Reese # RP83002 or the Curt # 16721. This is your best option to prevent scratches on the hitch's skid plate and ease hookup with the trailer. There is not a bolt-on plate like the Reese # 83003 available that will work on the B&W Patriot. In addition to using the lube plate, B&W also recommends lubricating the polyurethane bushings on top of the pivot arms with high grade lithium...

  • Correct Wedge For Curt A20 5TH Wheel Hitch With Lippert Turning Point Pin Box
    You will need to use the Wedge # C16992 on the Lippert Turning Point pin box. This will fit into the slot on your Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16140 allowing the pin box to pivot on the box itself and not on the 5th wheel hitch. You will still be able to use a Lube Plate # 16721 on the pin box to reduce damage to both the pin box and hitch head. It will also allow the pin box to slide on the hitch easier when connecting and disconnecting.

  • Excessive Movement Between the Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch and 5th Wheel Trailer King Pin
    First, make sure that the jaws are fully closing around the king pin and that they are locked into place. If not then that would be why you are experiencing so much movement. If they are fully closing and locking then it is possible that the movement is actually coming from somewhere else such as at the connection between the head and the center section or the feet and the OEM Ford mounts. There are some things you can look at on the hitch to determine if the jaws are not fully closing....

  • Lube Plate Recommended for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch
    For their Companion series of 5th wheel hitches, B&W recommends using a 10 inch lube plate. I'd recommend the # 16721 from Curt. The lube plate would protect the skid on your hitch from getting scratched up, and would eliminate the need to use grease on the skid plate so you won't have a huge mess with grease everywhere.
