• Replacement Bolt for Curt PowerRide Head
  Hi John; do you mean a bolt that connects the head # C56WR to the legs # C99WR? Curt hitches continue to use the same hardware for the 5th wheel hitch heads so the Replacement Head Mounting Hardware for Curt 5th Wheel Slider Hitches # C35UR will also work for the Curt PowerRide # C36WR. It is a set of four M14 hex bolts, lock washers, flat washers, and nylock nuts so you will have spares. If you're referring to the anchors it is the # C93UR.

• Heavy Duty 5th Wheel Hitch Recommendation for a 2025 GMC Sierra 3500 Puck System
  Hey Nathan! My recommendation for a future-proof 5th wheel hitch is the Curt PowerRide # C36WR for a few reasons; it has a 30,000 lb weight rating (which is more then enough for your truck), it's very intuitive to use, and the head can be removed with a single pin so it's easier to move in and out of your 2025 Sierra 3500. On a side note, I really like the looks of this hitch too. I'm attaching a photo another customer sent in of this installed on their GM truck so you can see what it...

• Comparing the Curt PowerRide and A30 5th Wheel Hitches for a 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 w/ Puck System
  These 5th wheel hitches are extremely similar with only a couple differences. Both of them fit the factory puck systems in the 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500. I have linked a diagram below from Curt that lists the similarities. The main difference between the Curt A30 item # C16070 and the Curt PowerRide item # C36WR for your 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 is the Wear Plates item # C52WR. These wear plates for the PowerRide remove the need for using lube plates like item # C16722. The handles...

• Comparing Curt PowerRide # C36WR and Curt A30 # C16070 5TH Wheel Hitches For 2022 GMC Sierra 3500
  For me the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C36WR does appear to be the best value. The built in lube plates help to ensure that you protect the hitch from getting marred up when connecting to the 5th wheel. And unlike some other manufactures the mounting location for the hardware in a good location. I would recommend keeping a spare set or 2 of the Wear Plates # C52WR in the event that they become damaged since they will not be as easily sourced as a standard lube plate. I do like...

• 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...

• Comparison Between Curt PowerRide and B&W Companion 5th Wheel for 2022 GMC 3500 Long Bed Truck
  The highest capacity B&W Companion 5th wheel hitch available for your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 long bed would be part # BWRVK3715 which has a 25K capacity.

• Comparing B&W Companion and Curt PowerRide 5TH Wheels Hitches For 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 Puck System
  I recommend using the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3715 for your 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 with the in bed factory prep/puck system. This hitch is made in the USA and B&W has great attention to detail. While the PowerRide # C36WR looks like a great hitch I have never been a fan of the integrated Wear Plates # C52WR. They are specific to the one hitch and when they become damaged they may be difficult to find on a trip. And as I have seen with other manufacturers if they discontinue...

• Does Demco UMS or Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Hitch For 2023 Chevy Silverado 3500 Puck Have Better Jaws
  While both 30k 5th wheel hitches that fit the puck system of your 2023 Chevy Silverado 3500 have high-quality jaw systems, between the Curt PowerRide # C36WR and Demco UMS Double Pivot # DM47GV, the better jaw system is on the latter, the Demco UMS # DM47GV. The reason why the Demco's jaw system is a notch above the Curt's interlocking jaw system is because the Demco's jaw system is reinforced via a 3/4" solid steel bar that locks into place once the jaw is closed. The reinforced jaw system...

  I haven't run into this issue before with the Curt PowerRide # C36WR but my contact at Curt has and here's what he had to say: "Sound like the king pin on the trailer moving with in the jaws which is normal. Adjusting the brake controller can help some of the issue."

• Comparing Curt PowerRide and B&W Companion Hitches for a 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 Puck System
  Both the 25K B&W Companion # BWRVK3715 and the 30K Curt PowerRide # C36WR are great options for the puck system on your 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 long bed, but for your application I recommend the PowerRide since it has a higher weight rating. Both hitches provide excellent ride quality and performance. Since the PowerRide is rated higher it makes your towing setup a little more future proof in case you ever are looking to get a bigger 5th wheel trailer.

  The main difference between the Curt A30 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16070 and Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C36WR for your 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Long Bed is the Wear Plates # C52WR. These wear plates for the PowerRide remove the need for a Lube Plate # C16722 on the pin box.

• Is The Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Compatible With Short Bed Trucks
  The reason the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # C36WR is listed as being compatible with only 8 foot bed lengths is because of turning clearance issues. A six foot bed typically requires a sliding hitch and a five foot bed requires a fixed hitch and rotating pin box to prevent the nose of the fifth wheel from coming into contact with the cab of the truck. To increase your turning clearance with your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 you can replace...

• 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 Short Bed Puck System 5th Wheel Hitch Recommendation
  I recommend going with the 30K Curt PowerRide # C36WR for the puck system on your 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 short bed because of the high weight capacity and the smooth towing experience it offers. Normally for short bed trucks we recommend a sliding 5th wheel hitch, but we've seen multiple users be able to still have enough cab clearance with a stationary hitch on the GM pickups. Basically as long as your 5th wheel trailer has a tapered nose (which all of the modern ones do) then you'll...

• How To Prevent Bed Rail Damage When Towing Toy Hauler RV
  We can help. I think I follow and correctly visualizing your situation. My first thought is if you have 6" of clearance at present time, that is in the range of the recommended minimal, the general rule of thumb is no less than 6' of clearance from the bottom of the fifth wheel to the top of a truck's bed rails. We have the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter, # CAB-C5G rated at 20K and 12" to 16" in height. This would be a direct remove and replace of what you have...
