Specs:
When you think of a fifth-wheel hitch, you probably think of a cumbersome, heavy-duty piece of equipment that sits in your truck bed and stays there because of the tremendous effort it takes to remove it. Well, the Curt CrossWing offers the same rugged performance and heavy-duty hauling power that you'd expect from a fifth-wheel hitch, but it's lightweight enough to be easily moved in and out of your truck. This hitch weighs just 60 lbs, which is 65-percent lighter than a standard hitch. But while it may be lightweight, no sacrifices were made in the quality of its construction. The CrossWing features premium steel and a reinforced head connection point that offers superior strength and reliability for towing loads up to 20,000 lbs.
If you've ever towed a 5th-wheel trailer, you know that the coupling process can be a hassle because of the precision required to ensure a proper connection. You have to painstakingly guide the hitch's pincer-like jaws around a small, cylindrical king pin, which is easier said than done. Coupling can be such a finicky process, that some 5th-wheel hitches even use a color-coded indicator to alert you when you're properly connected.
An improper connection can result in high pinning, which is when the king pin on the trailer looks like it's in the jaws, but it's actually sitting higher than the fifth-wheel hitch. With the CrossWing, high pinning and finicky coupling are things of the past.
This is thanks to the wedge-shaped coupler piece that bolts around your trailer's king pin and remains there, separate from the hitch base. Not only does this further cut down on the weight of the hitch, but it also ensures that you don't get the rattling that occurs when a king pin sits inside of the jaws on a traditional hitch.
When hooking up with the Curt CrossWing you can clearly see when the bolted-on pin box coupler is in place in the hitch base head from the comfort of your truck cab. The contact point of the head is a large, open-faced funnel that makes it easy to guide the coupler into place as you back into it. This funnel-shaped head also allows for fore, aft, and lateral articulation, so you can easily hitch up on uneven terrain.
This already simplified process of coupling with the Curt CrossWing is made even easier when paired with a 3rd-brake-light backup camera. The positioning of the CrossWing and the angle of its head lines up perfectly with this type of backup camera, allowing you to watch the coupler as it glides into place. Once the pin box coupler is nestled within the head channel, all you have to do is lock it into place with the easy-to-reach, ergonomic handle.
The CrossWing features Curt's innovative ShockDrop technology, which is engineered to suppress jerking, jarring, and chucking while you're towing. This durable, polyurethane material sits at the pivot point of the hitch head and absorbs excess shock so that it doesn't transfer from the truck to your trailer or vice versa. The result is increased control and comfort as you tow, as well as less wear and tear on your towing setup.

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this Curt 5th Wheel Adapter Rails for your Chevrolet and GMC trucks that have the factory 5th wheel prep package. Now, this is a custom fit part, it is designed to fit the 2016 to 2019 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 trucks with the OEM prep package, and on a custom fit part like this, I do like to recommend for you to go to our website, use the fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle, and it'll show you if this will work for your application. Now, this will let you easily transfer your existing 5th wheel hitch from a previous truck to the new factory underbed puck equip trucks. This will convert the factory underbed system to the standard 5th wheel base rails. Now, they do use a quarter-turn anchoring system for quick installation and removal, wanna zoom in to show you a close up of that.
We're just gonna do one corner, but you'll do this at each corner, there's four corners. But basically, when you go to install this, what you'll do is pop off this clip, and then you'll rotate this handle out a quarter of a turn, and when you do that, if you noticed right down here, this tab is rotating also, so that'll open it up. You'll do that at each corner, and now, you're ready to drop this whole system right into the underbed factory system. Once you drop it in, the tabs will drop into place, you'll rotate this handle back just like that, and it rotates that tab to lock it in, and again, you'll do it at all four corners. Once you get it locked in, put your pin and clip back in, and that locks the handle in place, you're all ready to go.
You can also adjust the anchors right here, these can be adjusted to help eliminate any chucking between the legs and the underbed platform, right here you can put a wrench in here, there's a cotter pin that you can pull out, put a wrench in here, and tighten it up or loosen it, whatever you need to. Now, this does also include the four pins and clips that'll allow you to secure the 5th wheel to these adapter rails. Again, the specs on this, it is designed to fit the Chevrolet and GMC trucks with the 5th wheel prep package, capacity on this is 30,000 pounds gross towing weight capacity, and it has a 7,500 pound vertical load limit. But that should do it for the review on this Curt 5th Wheel Adapter Rails for the Chevrolet and GMC trucks with the factory 5th wheel prep package..
Very fast delivery!
well packaged and well made.
This hitch is light weight (70lbs) easy to install and connect to the trailer. It is completely quiet and has no chucking at all.
FAST SHIPPING GOOD QUALITY
Customer service is terrible, will not buy from etrailer.
Easy install! Haven't taken it out yet so cannot comment on performance.
This is our third hitch purchased and it is the best one we've used so far. Its fast, simple and light weight which makes it very easy to assemble and disassemble.
Excellent hitch! The only torque of 350 lbs. on a couple of the bolts. I’ve only been able to torque them to 250 lbs. It tows awesome and is an amazing hitch.
We've had the crosswing for a year now. We've towed our 38 ft 5th wheel 1000s of miles with no issues. It's a game changer. Easy installation. It's easily removed from the truck bed with one person and small enough to store without taking up a huge space. We have tons of space left in the bed for other things we take camping. There is absolutely no bucking as with our previous hitch and it makes towing easy. They really broke the mold when they made this product!
This hitch has been great for me towing my 14k 5th wheel. The innovative design makes it easy to hitch up, and the 8" offset allows nearly 90 degree turns with my F-350 short bed. The lighter weight is a bonus. I had a small issue and Curt was quick with resolution.
Very quick delivery and Cassandra was awesome to work with.
Everything seems fine but I do have a little clunk at the "V" connection point when braking from a forward movement. Otherwise easy install, lightweight and a solid connection to my Gooseball.
This hitch has worked very well. I have taken a 3000 mile trip as well as many smaller trips. It hooks up easy and tows well.
Hmm, where to start? The hitch itself is a dream come true, it's stable, lightweight but strong, pulls my 16K fifth wheel smoothly and does everything I could ask for. The issues that I have with it are the Torque and Re-Torque requirements from Curt themselves, the Dry Lube usage, and the rust spots that have appeared on it.
Manual says, "Torque to 300 foot lbs." Do you realize how much that is? I had to buy a special wrench just to get one that went that high! Unfortunately you have to Re-Torque the hitch bolt pretty much all the time, I mean I realize it's actually the only thing holding the hitch head to the body.... But sheesh!
The other thing the manual says is to apply Dry Lubricant to the head prior to usage . Dry Lubricant makes a heck of a mess, and when it dries it's white! Makes it look like a Seagull has been using the hitch as a nesting spot.
Finally, have had this hitch since February 2025, using it since April on about four trips and I'm already getting rust areas around the safety latch/pin area and the hitch saddle itself. The saddle rust is surface and not a big deal, (that thing is never gonna rust through no matter how many decades of use). The safety latch/pin is a bit of an "I'll keep an eye on that" concern.
In summary, this hitch is perfect for us. I used to have the big grey monster and just couldn't lift it out anymore. The Curt weighs about 60 pounds and it's so easy to remove and install in seconds versus what used to take my wife and I an hour or so and lots of pain meds after. Like I said, the hitch is rock solid, easy to hookup to and easy to disengage when we arrive at a campsite. It is my pleasure to be able to endorse this hitch and give it my highest recommendation.
The Curt Crosswing is wonderful. We pull a 10,000# trailer (well under the load limit for this hitch). Several things I like: 1. the ease of getting it in and out of my truck, it’s easily moved by one person (I’m 68 years old)— 2. The positive way it connects trailer to truck (this takes some getting used to, there is no “bang!” As the trailer pin slams home in a conventional fifth wheel… just a gentle glide of a lever once the hitch is in its “saddle”)- 3. Able to hookup/unhook at just about any angle… most recently I needed to unhook with the truck headed down a slight grade and angled at 45-50 degrees towards the curb side. No sweat!
The most often comments I get about the Crosswing goes something like: “That’s NOT a fifth wheel” or “I wouldn’t trust my trailer with that thing”… to each his own. The way I look at it is: Curt is a well respected hitch manufacturer who wouldn’t put their reputation at risk with an untested or “dangerous” design.
It’s different, yes, and in this case, that’s a good thing.
This 5th wheel hitch is very good . Easy to use and easy to remove. 65 lbs 4 pins and it’s out of the truck bed.
we went on a 150-mile trip it performed great. I replaced a curt A16 fifth wheel
slider hitch. Easy to hitch I will post more later after more trips
