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.

  • Rail Kit Adapter to Fit Curt Q24 Hitch in Bed of 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 with OEM Rail Kit
    We have the Demco rail adapter part # DM6333 which fits the OEM rail kit of your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 and provides the type of rails that the Curt Q24 part # C16245 that you have is designed to fit in so this would be exactly what you need.

  • Troubleshooting Curt A25 Fifth Wheel Hitch that Has Stuck Latch
    Hey Mark that is a bummer to hear. Have you been lubricating it at all this time? I know it's easy to forget to do that but if you do skip the components can get frozen up and hard to use. So I would go with your next plan and grease it up real nice like and I would be willing to bet it will work again. Worst case scenario we do have a replacement head unit for the A25 with the part #C16580.

  • Does The Curt Q24 5th Wheel Hitch Come With Rails And Install Kit?
    Hello Reb, thanks for reaching out. We actually offer the Curt Q34 hitch with or without the install kit and rails depending on your needs. I see that you were looking at parts for a 2021 Ram 3500, if you are needing the hitch, install kit and rails for this truck, we have that as part # C32BV. If you are needing just the hitch that will be part # C16245.

  • Compatibility of Anderson AM3200 Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection w/ Lippert Turning Point Pin Box
    The Andersen # AM3200 Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection isn't compatible with the Lippert Turning Point (I'm assuming you're speaking of the Turning Point), so the two would not be compatible. For a rotating pin box-equipped fifth wheel, your best bet would be to install a traditional 5th wheel hitch in your truck. If your truck has the OEM puck system, I'd recommend the Curt A20, part # C16034 or # C16245 along with the # BWRVK2402 rail/bracket kit if the truck doesn't have the puck mounting...

  • Is My Curt Q24 5th Wheel Hitch Compatible With My Rota-Flex Pin Box?
    That is correct, your Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16245 is not compatible with Rota-Flex pin boxes like the Trailair Rota-Flex 5th Wheel Pin Box # LC328330. This is due to the pivoting system in the pin box and the pivoting system in the hitch head working against each other which can ultimately lead to the hitch head failing. Instead, your only other option is to replace your pin box, or replace your 5th wheel hitch with something that is compatible with your pin box. I recommend...

  • What Are The Differences Between The Curt Q24, Q25, And A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches
    The three 5th wheel hitches that you are inquiring about are the Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 24,000 lbs, part # C16245 Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs, part # C16265 Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs, part # C16180 The only differences between the Q24 and Q25 is the Q24 is the weight limit. The Q24 is rated for 24,000 lbs, the Q25 is rated for 25,000 lbs. These two 5th wheel hitches cannot be used with a rotating pin box....

  • Troubleshooting Sticking Jaws on Curt Q24 5th Wheel Hitch C16245
    I am sorry to hear about your problem with your Curt Q24 5th wheel hitch # C16245. With a trailer as large and heavy as a 42-foot Montana it will be critical to have the trailer and truck on level ground and in a straight line with each other for all coupling and uncoupling processes. Any tension between the king pin and the hitch's jaw will make it difficult for the jaw mechanism to open to release the king pin. The Q24 has a color indicator system that tells you the status of the hitch,...

  • Experiencing Chucking When Towing a Car Trailer with a 2010 GMC 3500 Diesel and Curt Q24 Hitch
    There are a few things to look that could cause chucking when towing a fifth wheel trailer. The Curt Q24 is one of the best hitches on the market to reduce chucking when towing a fifth wheel trailer. The first thing I would check is to make sure everything in your towing set up does not exceed any capacities. The weight of your trailer does fall within the capacity of this hitch, but based on my research of your 2010 GMC 3500 Dually 6.6L turbo diesel, the weight of your trailer is close...

  • Curt Q24 Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado
    It sounds like you are looking for a sliding fifth wheel hitch. We have sliding hitches available, but the Curt Q24 Fixed Fifth Wheel Hitch, # C16245, does not slide. The sliding version of the Q24 is part # C16546. This hitch has 12 inches of travel to improve turning clearance when towing with a short bed truck. This hitch will also install in any standard above-bed fifth wheel base rails. I have attached a link to all of our sliding fifth wheel hitches. If you can tell me the model...

  • How to Lock Fifth Wheel Hitch to Truck Bed
    For a Curt Q24 bed rail mounted hitch, you'd just need a Curt 5th wheel hitch pin lock, part # C23256. Simply replace one of the existing pins with the # C23256 lock, and you'll be good to go. I've linked to a product description video for the Curt locking pin I recommended.

  • How Does Jaw Mechanism of Curt Q24 Hitch Open and Lock
    The handle/release design of the Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16245 is supposed to work like a ratchet almost. You pull out and release once and the handle should show yellow which means the jaws are unlocked and ready to accept a king pin. Once a king pin passes through the jaws it will lock into place and the handle will show green meaning you are safe to tow. Then to release it you pull the handle and release it and the jaws will unlock, the handle will show the color red, and...

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for a 2009 Dodge Ram
    Both the Curt Q24 Fifth Wheel Hitch part # C16245 and the Reese # RP30047 are great hitches. The Reese hitches tend to come back in less frequently than the Curt fifth wheel hitches so between the two I would recommend the Titan 20. This hitch has a cushioned head and a double jaw that provides 360 degrees of contact at all times. It would work very well for your 2009 Dodge Ram that has fifth wheel rails installed in it already.

  • Will Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Fit a 2004 Ford F-350 Long Bed Dually
    Yes, you can install the Curt Q24 5th wheel trailer hitch # C16546 in your 2004 Ford F-350. But since you have a long bed you would not need a slider hitch. You would instead use the fixed version # C16245. But, if you still want to use the slider version you can but there won't be a need to slide it back out of the towing position. Also, sliders only lock into the towing position or the maneuvering position, there are no settings in between. For an installation kit I recommend # C16443-204...

  • Can Curt Q24 Fifth Wheel Hitch be Used with Rota Flex Pin Box
    If you locked out the rotating portion of the Rota-Flex pin box you could use the Curt Q24 # C16245 with it. Or if you wanted to keep using that feature of the pin box you could go with the A25 hitch part # C16180 which is a redesigned version of the Q24 that will work with the RotaFlex.

  • Problem with Curt 5th Wheel Hitch Not Easily Releasing Pin To Disconnect
    I reached out to my contact at Curt and walked him through your issue and process to disconnect. He said the issue sounds like you are taking too much weight off of the hitch. The hitch needs a certain amount of weight on it to function correctly and release the lower portion of the king pin. You may want to try a little more weight on the hitch and a bit less on the jacks. He also recommended that when unhitched to check the connection and disconnection with either a plastic king...

  • Comparing Andersen Ultimate and PullRite SuperLite 5th Wheel Hitches
    The Andersen Ultimate Conneection 5th Wheel Hitch System with Adapter # AM3200 and the PullRite SuperLite Fifth Wheel Hitch referenced in your question have a very similar design. We do not currently carry PullRite products so I am a little less familiar with this model, but I was able to gather some information from the manufacturer in order to compare the two units. Both hitches feature an extremely lightweight construction. The hitch itself on the Andersen Ultimate weighs only 40 pounds,...

  • Recommended Fifth Wheel Hitch for Un-Level Terrain
    For hitching and unhitching on uneven terrain, the Curt Q24 you mentioned, part # C16245 would be ideal for you. The hitch features a spherical axial bearing that allows the hitch a full 360 degree tilt, not just side-to-side and front-to-back. This will lessen the chance of the hitch binding on the king pin. The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Hitch Install Bracket Kit you mentioned, part # C16411-204 would be the correct install kit for your truck. In order to install the fifth wheel hitch,...

  • Recommended Cover for a Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch
    For your Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16245, I recommend using the Classic Accessories Cover for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # CA80116. We have not specially test fit this cover on the Q24 but we have tested it on several other Curt 5th wheel hitches like the Curt Q25 so it should work well for you.

  • Are Curt Q24 and Air RIde 5th Wheel Pin Box Compatible With 2024 GMC 3500 Short Bed
    It sounds like you might already have a Q24 from your old setup and would like to use it with your 2024 GMC 3500. The fixed Q24 # C16245 (for above bed rails) or # C37FR (for OEM prep package) will fit if you have the short bed. However, you are going to run into clearance issues. A short bed typically requires a sliding 5th wheel hitch or rotating pin box. The Q24 is not compatible with a rotating pin box so using the Curt R24 Round Tube Slider for Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # C16570...

If you don't have a 7-way trailer connector installed in the truck bed, you can install one using part # HM40157.

  • What Mounting Slot Spacing on 5th Wheel Rails Fit the Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch
    The Curt Q24 5th wheel trailer hitch # C16245 fits in industry standard above the bed rails. Industry standard rails have mounting slots that measure 22 inches on center front to back (it is actually closer to 21-13/16 inches). Side to side there are 3 sets of mounting slots per rail. The outside set is spaced 29 inches apart on center, the middle set, which is where the hitch will mount, is spaced 20-1/2 inches apart on center. And the inner set is spaced 10 inches apart on center. I...

  • Recommended Fifth Wheel Hitch With Pivoting Head For 2001 Ford F-350 With 8-Ft Bed
    There are a couple ways you can go about doing what you want to do. If you want a fifth wheel hitch that will work in standard base rails on your truck and will pivot so you can hook up at an angle I recommend a hitch like the Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, part # C16245. The head on this hitch will pivot 360-degrees. Another solution is to use a Sidewinder Pin Box. This would pivot when you park and allow you top just back up and hook up with the hitch you already have in your truck....

  • Will Curt Q24 5th-Wheel Hitch Fit Reese Base Rails on 2016 Ram 3500

As long as your existing rails are standard, above-bed base rails, you will not need to purchase new rails. The Curt Q24 should work great with what you already have installed on your Ram 3500. The Curt Q24 is a great 5th-wheel hitch that features a nice 2-jaw locking system to provide a 360-degree jaw-to-king-pin...
