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.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2017 Ram 3500 Crew Cab
    I have a couple of different options for your 2017 Ram 3500 Crew Cab. Your truck has a bed height of just over 20 inches so I will recommend some 5th wheel hitches that are adjustable to under 3 inches of that 20 inch mark that you're looking for. The most economical option for your Ram is the Curt E16 5th Wheel Hitch # C16115 with the Curt Base Rails # C16430-204. This features the Slide Bar Jaw to secure your king pin and has a Gross Towing Weight of 16,000 lbs. The next step up is...

    Hi Darrin, The correct 5th wheel base rail kit for your 2021 Ram 3500 short bed with RamBoxes is the following: - Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram # C16430-204 The # C16430-204 includes both the base rails and mounting brackets so you can get your truck set up for a 5th wheel hitch.

  • Using the Lippert Turning Point Pin Box with Reese 5th Wheel Hitch On a 2019 Ram 3500 with RamBoxes
    If your Grand Design Reflections 150 comes with a Lippert Turning Point Pin Box then there will be no need for a Reese Sidewinder as these both serve the same purpose which is to move the pivot point therefore making for more turning clearance. The only thing you would need is a fixed 5th wheel hitch and for that I recommend the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30047 because of the dual locking jaws which form a tight grip on the kingpin therefore making for a smooth ride. This Reese...

  • Correct Curt 5th Wheel Install Kit for a 2020 Ram 3500
    The correct Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for a 2020 Ram 3500 is part # C16430-204. The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit is a custom bolt-on fit with no cutting or drilling required into the frame. If you don't already have a fifth wheel hitch, the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16140 is my recommendation because of the interlocking dual jaw system which has a tight grip on the king pin and works to reduce chucking and jarring.

  • Best 5th Wheel Base Rails & Brackets For 2024 Ram 3500
    The best 5th wheel base rail and bracket installation kit for your 2024 Ram 3500 is from Curt, with the correct fit for your truck being the following part number: - Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram # C16430-204 The reason for that is because this kit does not require any drilling into your truck's frame rails to install. Not having to drill is not only great for your truck but will benefit you whether you are doing the install yourself (saving hours) or having a professional...

  • Options For Installing 5th Wheel Hitch In 2019 Ram 3500 without OEM Puck System
    They do not make an aftermarket puck system kit for your 2019 Ram 3500, so you have a few options to get a 5th wheel hitch installed. The standard way is installing above bed rails # C16430-204 to use a sliding 5th wheel hitch # C55DR if you have a 6-1/2' bed, or a fixed 5th wheel hitch # C16140 if you have an 8' bed. If having the permanently installed above bed rails is a buzz kill for you, then another option is installing the B&W Turnoverball # BWGNRK1320-5W will allow you to install...

  • Are Carriage Bolts used In Center Of Rails For Curt Fifth Wheel Installation Kit
    I have attached a drawing from the installation instructions for the rail kit part # C16430-204 you can check out. As you can see in the attached drawing I noted the carriage bolts and where they are located on the rails when installing. Please note the front rail uses 2 longer carriage bolts and the 8 shorter bolts are used in the other rail mounting locations.

  • Recommended Anderson Ultimate Hitch for a 2018 Ram 3500 w/ the Factory Puck System
    Hey Sam! If your Ram truck has the factory puck system you won't need a set of rails to install an Anderson Hitch. The Andersen Aluminum Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection 2 Gooseneck version item # 3220 will attach directly to the gooseneck ball. If you're looking at one that attaches to 5th wheel rails you'll have to use the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch item # C29BR. This adapter connects to the factory pucks and provides a platform to attach a 5th wheel hitch. What kind of 5th...

    The Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package part # C16049 comes with everything that you need to install on a 2017 Ram 3500 assuming you have the factory in-bed puck system (see photo).

    Either the Curt # C16541 A20 Fifth Wheel Hitch w/ Slider with its 20K capacity or the 20K Capacity B&W BWRVK3270 Patriot Sliding Fifth wheel hitch would be a great choice. Both hitches are high quality, and would offer you a secure, relatively smooth ride. For the Curt hitch, use the # C16430-204 rail kit or for the B&W Patriot, use # BWRVK2605. My only issue with bed rail mounted hitches is the fact that the rails remain in the bed when you're not using the hitch. If you don't use the...

    In order to use the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C22ER on a 2015 Ram 3500 you'll want to use the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram part # C16430-204 if you don't have the factory prep package or the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C74BR if you do. Please note, the installation kit does not have a weight capacity, this comes from the fifth wheel hitch which will be the weakest component of the system since the install kit attaches to the frame.

These custom fit brackets mount to existing holes in your truck's frame. They fit both the 6-1/2' and 8' bed. To make towing with a 5th wheel easier I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness item # C56000.

The Curt A16 has a fully articulating head while the Reese has a head which only pivots 4 ways. The A16 also has a handy indicator system which will let you know if the jaws on the hitch are ready to couple, uncouple or tow, which is a convenience feature the Reese hitch does not offer.

  • Reese 5th Wheel Hitch and Sidewinder Pin Box Recommendations for 2014 Dodge Ram Towing 36-Footer
    Officially Reese does not recommend any 5th wheel hitch installation in Dodge Ram pickups that have the Rambox system due to the reduced bed width. Still, we have heard reports of successful installations in the 2014 Rambox-equipped trucks using a Sidewinder replacement pin box. The Sidewinder moves the pivot point back 22-inches behind the king pin which keeps the body of the pin box stationary within the limited available width of the Rambox bed.

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...

Curt is one of the hitches that uses legs compatible with the different pucks, so I will give you both options. For a Ram, you will use Reese adapter # RP30154 or Demco # DM6099.

  • Can a 20K 5th Wheel Hitch be Used to Tow a 20K Toy Hauler
    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...

    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.

  • 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....

    The main difference between the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16180 and the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16265 is the hitch head.

  • Comparing the Curt A25 to the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Hitch
    The Curt Q25 # C16265 had some issues with the jaws that the company corrected, so you shouldn't have any issues.

  • 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...
