Secure, Two-Piece Jaw

Q24 Two-Piece Jaw

Unlike slide-bar models, the rounded, two-piece jaw on this fifth-wheel trailer hitch inhibits rattle and movement by securely wrapping around your trailer's king pin, resulting in easier hookup and a safer, quieter ride.


Three-Point Indicator System

Get peace of mind with Curt's color-coded lock indicator. Just look at the indicator - either the one on the handle or the one on the hitch itself - to determine whether the jaw is in the correct position to uncouple (red), couple (yellow) or tow (green).


Q24 Color Indicator System

360-Degree Pivot

Curt's unique spherical axial bearing provides a durable pivot point that allows easy, 360-degree movement of the hitch head. This ball joint is designed for smooth, quiet operation with less clunking and chucking.

Video Transcript for What to Know About the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails

Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the CURT Universal Carbide Black Finish Fifth Wheel Base Rails. Now, these base rails will install in your truck bed. And they provide the necessary attachment points for your fifth wheel hitch installation. Now, when these rails are used with the CURT's Custom Mounting Brackets, which we sell separate on a website, these rails will cut in half the time it takes to install your fifth wheel trailer hitch.

We mentioned the finish on this. I'm gonna zoom in and sort of show it. It's a carbide black finish, sort of like a matte black finish, so it matches the finish if you use it on the CURT Q5 20K Fifth Wheel Hitch. Now, these rails are universal, so they will work with the following fifth wheel hitches. They work with the CURT brand, the Draw-Tite, the Hidden Hitch, the Reese, and even the Husky.

This part here will include the two base rails. Now, we mentioned the mounting brackets, the custom mounting brackets, the hardware, and an installation kit is all sold separately. The length on these rails, if we put a tape measure on them from one end to the other, right at 43 inches long. But that should do it for the review on the CURT Universal Carbide Black Finish Fifth Wheel Base Rails.

  • Comparing the Curt Q20 and the Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitches.
    As far as height adjustability and weight capacities the Curt Q20 # C16130 and the Curt A20 # C16140 are identical. They both have a Gross Towing Weight of 20,000 lbs, a Vertical Load Limit of 5,000 lbs, and a height range of 13-17 inches. When it comes to choosing which one is better, even though they are both excellent choices, I recommend going with the A20 because it has more features. Right off the bat the A20 has interlocking jaws to secure your king pin as opposed to the Q20 jaw...

  • What Is The Towing Capacity Of 2011 Ford F350 6.7L XLT SRW Crew Cab 8' Bed?
    Hello CJ, thanks for reaching out. Based on the towing capacity chart I found online, the bumper pull capacity of a 2011 Ford F350 6.7L SRW Crew Cab is 14,000 lbs. The Curt Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # C99NR has a 10K capacity when used with the 2" ball, and a 15K capacity with the 2-5/16" ball. So as long as the 5-1/2" drop is sufficient for your trailer, that will be a great choice for a ball mount.

  • Pros and Cons of 5th Wheel Hitch With a Slide Bar Jaw Versus a Dual Jaw Hitch
    The difference between a slide bar jaw and a dual jaw is how tightly the fifth wheel king pin is held. Both do a good job securing the king pin, preventing it from coming loose. The Dual Jaw will hold the king pin much more tightly, preventing the king pin from rattling around in the pin box. Any movement of the king pin in the hitch jaws will be easily felt and heard in the truck cab. Every time the you brake or accelerate, if there's any movement in the hitch jaws-you're gonna feel...

If your 5th wheel hitch installs using the ISR setup then I recommend going with the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit # C16424-204 if your tow vehicle is the 2013 Ford F-250 you had in our fitguide system.

    You are going to need to add rails for your 2016 Ford F-250. Your truck did not come with the factory under bed prep/puck system. I have a couple different options you can consider for carrying a 5th wheel hitch. First is the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit # C16424-204 which will install above bed rails. These are the rails which were traditionally used with most 5th wheels installed in trucks. The above bed rails are always mounted inside the truck but they will allow you to...

  • Dimensions Used to Install Curt Fifth Wheel Rail Kit # C16424-204
    When installing the Curt fifth wheel rail kit part # C16424-204 the distance from the rear truck bed edge to the rear of the fron rail is going to be 54-3/16 inches. You'll use the fifth wheel hitch to place the rear rail once you have the front rail positioned. This ensures you install the rear rail perfectly in relation to the front rail.

  • Will A 2016 Ford F-250 With A Tommy Gate Lift Have Enough Clearance To Tow A 5th Wheel Trailer
    The extra length the Tommy Gate lift on your 2016 Ford F-250 is going to be a factor, but is really dependent on the amount of space you have from the king pin to the body of your 5th wheel. The king pin is the portion of your pin box that actually locks into the hitch. The hitch should sit right above your axle (some hitches can sit a few inches back but it's best to have it over the axle to distribute the weight properly.) so you can measure from the axle back to the outermost edge...

  • Differences Between Above and Under Bed Fifth Wheel Hitch Mounts for 2020 Ford F350

Brackets are mounted to the truck frame with the bed rails sitting directly above. Holes are drilled down through the truck bed to correspond with holes in the brackets bolted to the frame, allowing the bed rails to be securely bolted down. The rails have slots in them that allow the hitch to be installed and removed pretty conveniently. The problem here is that once the...

    Great question! Although a 5th wheel hitch rated for 20K can tow up to 20K we highly recommend using a 5th wheel hitch that is rated about 1K - 2K over the GVWR of your 5th wheel trailer. This gives you a safety margin and will help keep your hitch from prematurely wearing down from normal use. The only time you would be able to safely use the 20K hitch is if you didn't load your trailer up to the 20K capacity. If your toy hauler is 20K then I recommend going with either the B&W Companion...

  • Is The Curt Q25 Fifth Wheel Hitch Compatible With Rota Flex Pin Boxes
    The whole Curt Q-Series line like the Curt Q25 # C16265 you referenced is not compatible with the Rota Flex pin box line like the # LC328330, nor are they compatible with rotating pin boxes. The pivoting system of the pin box works against the pivoting system of the hitch head and can cause the components of the head to deteriorate, ultimately leading to the hitch head failing. The only option is to either replace the pin box with one of the same bolt pattern or to replace the hitch....

  • Troubleshooting Stuck Jaws on Curt Q25 5th Wheel Hitch
    Thank you for all of the information regarding your Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16265 being stuck on your 5th wheel trailer. It sounds like you've got 2 things going on here; the first is that the jaws are binding, and the second is that the orbital pad has been broken. Binding happens when the truck and trailer are parked on an uneven surface and the king pin sits at a weird angle to the jaws and everything gets stuck. The only way to remedy this is to either hook your truck...

  • Unlocking The Jaws On The Curt Q25 Fifth Wheel Hitch
    It sounds to me like the jaws on your Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 25,000lbs Item # C16265 need to be greased or that you may have backed into the king pin with the jaws not locked in the coupling position and could have damaged the jaws. If you did damage the jaws you'll need to replace the head of the hitch with the Replacement Head Unit for Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - 25,000lbs # C16565. If that's not the case make sure your landing gears are down enough to...

  • Will Curt Q Series 5th Wheel Hitches Work with a MORryde Pin Box
    It looks like you're asking if the Curt Q series fifth wheel hitches are compatible with your MORryde pin box. Yes, hitches like the Curt Q25 # C16265 will work with a MORryde. This is the 25,000 pound hitch that fits into industry standard rails. If you can tell me the year, make, model, and bed length of your truck I can help you find the correct hitch and install kit that fits. Or if you have the factory prep package we may have a hitch that fits without an install kit.

  • Comparing the Curt Q20 and Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches for Differences
    I measured the jaws and on both the Q25 # C16265 and the Q20 # C16130 the thickness of both is 1/2 inch. The differences are most obvious in the vertical load limit and the gross towing weight ratings. I reached out to my contact at Curt and the jaws are identical so the differences are in other metals being a slightly thicker gauge and the leg design. My contact said they are basically the same in the hitch head except for the slightly thicker gauge metal on the Q25 head.

  • Size of Replacement O-Ring for Bearing Shaft of Curt C16265 Q25 5th Wheel Hitch
    On the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # C16265 and previous question that references O-ring size. The needed diameter is 31.5 mm, for thickness, an O-ring of about 2 or 3mm is sufficient. Its exact thickness is not crucial as it is not required for creating a seal but rather in place for purpose of creating a stop location. Within the "INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS" for the Q25 (current online copy is linked below) page 6 in text under figure 9, it states "...The O-ring retainer stop...

  • Will Curt Q25 5th Wheel Hitch Fit Reese Base Rails
    The Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16265 will fit industry-standard base rails, which is almost certainly what the Reese rails you have in your truck are.

  • Comparing the Curt Q25 to the Curt A25 5th Wheel Hitch
    The Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs # C16180 is the newer model of the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs # C16265. The A25 has an interlocking dual jaw for increased security. The A25 also has built in grease zerk fittings to make maintenance just a little easier. It also has a 1 pin head removal compared to the 2 pin option of the Q25. They are both nice 5th wheel hitches, but the A25 has those couple of really nice features as an upgrade....

  • Curt 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Install Kit for a 2013 Ford F-350 Long Bed
    We do have a Curt 5th wheel installation kit that will fit your 2013 Ford F-350 long bed but # C16448-104 is designed for older models and will not fit your truck. You will need Curt custom install kit # C16424-204 for carbide finish or # C16424-104 for glossy. Keep in mind that glossy doesn't stay glossy for long! I have linked a video showing an example installation of these kits. For a 5th wheel hitch you can't go wrong with the Curt Q25 # C16265. It's rated for 25,000 pounds gross...

  • Option for Raising Nose of Momentum 3975 Wheel Trailer Towed by 2019 Ford F-350
    4 inches of clearance between the bed rails of your truck and the overhang of the 2020 Momentum 397 is the very minimum amount of clearance most refer to as safe. So strictly in that regard you aren't in a terrible position. That said, 6 inches is a much more ideal amount of clearance to have and it looks like your trailer might be a little nose low so it could stand to be raised in the front. Since pin box replacements aren't really designed for offering varying height setting you'd...

  • How to Tell if 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500 has OEM Rail Kit
    Look in the bed of your 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500 and see if you see 4 pucks/ports centered in the truck bed like what you see in the picture I attached. If you see them then a hitch like the Curt # C16069 will fit it directly. Otherwise you'd need to install the Curt Rail Kit part # C16411-204 which is a confirmed fit for your truck so you could install the Q25 for standard rails part # C16265.
