This heavy-duty fifth wheel hitch is rated for 25,000 lbs gross towing weight and a 6,250 lbs vertical load limit. Its sturdy steel construction and carbide powder coat finish give it the muscle and durability needed for hauling big campers, toy haulers, or RVs down the highway. The interlocking 2-jaw system provides full 360-degree jaw-to-king-pin contact, which means less rattle and more secure towing on every trip.
The fully articulating torsion head uses a spherical axial bearing that allows smooth 360-degree movement of the hitch head. That design helps suppress road shock and keep the ride quiet, reducing the clunking and chucking that wear you out on long hauls. It self-aligns to make coupling easier and keeps your trailer stable as road conditions change.
Backing into a site or making a slow turn is easier with the included S25 slider. It provides 12" of fore/aft travel to create extra clearance between the truck cab and trailer at low speeds. The non-binding design slides smoothly in both directions and automatically latches, so you only need to step out once to operate it.
A quick look at the color-coded indicator tells you if the jaws are ready to uncouple (red), couple (yellow), or tow (green). The indicators are visible from the cab, so you can confirm you’re locked in without climbing into the bed. When you unhook, the handle resets itself to the ready-to-couple position for an easy next hookup.
When it’s time to clear your bed, the fast one-pin head removal makes it simple for one person to lift off the hitch head without extra tools or equipment. Built-in zerk fittings make lubrication quick, and the included plastic lube plate helps the king pin glide smoothly for consistent hookups. This modular setup makes it easy to manage whether you tow often or just seasonally.

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.
