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 All You Need to Know About the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit for Chevy/GMC

Hello everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit for your Chevrolet and GMC trucks. Now this is a custom-fit part. It is designed to fit the 2011 to 2019 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 trucks with either the six and a half foot bed or the eight foot bed and without the OEM prep package. Now on a custom-fit part like this, I do recommend for you to go to our website, use the Fit Guide, put in your year, model, vehicle.

It'll show if this will work for your application. Now these brackets here are designed to mount beneath your truck bed, and they provide the attachment points for your fifth-wheel rails to attach to. Now those base rails we do sell separate on our website. Does require the base rails, part number C16104, C16204, or C16205. Those rails will bolt to these mounting brackets.

Now these brackets here will provide a custom fit. They mount to existing holes that are in your vehicle's frame. You can see the holes right here in the sides. These holes will eliminate the need for drilling. Cuts the installation time in half when compared with universal bracket kits.

Now it does include all the necessary hardware to install this. Comes with a nice set of instructions that'll describe how it all goes together. And these parts have a nice black powder coat finish on to resist corrosion. And these brackets are designed to work with the industry-standard rails that are compatible with B&W, Curt, Draw-Tite, Reese, and Husky above-bed fifth-wheel trailer hitches. But that should do it for the review on the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit for the Chevrolet and GMC trucks.

  • Will the Curt Kit # C16411-204 Fit a 2011 GMC Sierra 2500/3500 with a Gooseneck Hitch
    Although the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16411-204 is a fit for your 2011 GMC Sierra 2500/3500, if you already have a gooseneck trailer hitch installed it will not fit as they use the same bracket locations. If you let me know what gooseneck hitch you have I can see if we have an adapter that will allow you to utilize a 5th wheel hitch though.

  • Will The Curt 5TH Wheel Hitch Rails Fit With Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch on 2018 Chevy 3500?
    The Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16411-204 will not fit your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 as you already have the Rails # C60604 for a gooseneck hitch installed where the rail brackets mount. If you have the Double Lock # C607-604 you can use the Adapter # C16210 for using a 5th wheel hitch.

  • Can a Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch Be Used With a Long Bed Truck
    You absolutely can put a slider 5th wheel hitch in your 2015 Chevrolet 3500 long bed; it's more than likely you won't need the sliding function to make turns so it could stay in the forward travel position. The only downside to it is there is more moving parts with slider hitches, which means there's going to be more noise when you're towing. Not to mention they are bigger and weigh more than stationary hitches so removing, and installing them is a little more difficult. To put your existing...

  • 5th Wheel Install Kit For 2013 GMC 2500HD With 8' Bed
    Hey Richard, thanks for reaching out. You can use the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC # C16411-204 to install your Curt Q25 in your 2013 GMC 2500HD with the 8' bed. This is a full install kit so you get your base rails, brackets and hardware. I have linked an install video for you below.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Underbed System for 2015 Chevy Silverado Short Bed with Gooseneck Integrated
    There is only one option to help you get the gooseneck and rails you desire in your 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 short bed. The standard rails attach at the same locations as the gooseneck hitch brackets so individual options are not compatible. My recommendation is to use the Reese Elite Series Under-Bed Gooseneck Complete Hitch # RP30158-68 which will give you the underbed gooseneck hitch and the underbed rails with the pucks for a clean bed when not in use. Then you can use your current...

    We have exactly what you need to use a lightweight fifth wheel hitch and Sidewinder in your 2018 GMC Sierra 2500HD with a short bed, and though we do not carry the aluminum Andersen hitch we do know you cannot use rotating pin boxes with this hitch. Instead I strongly recommend the Demco Recon 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550043 because it is compatible with a Sidewinder and has a head unit which weighs 50 lbs and a base unit which weighs 50 lbs; this means you can easily remove it from...

  • Does Exhaust Heat Shield Need To Be Removed When Installing 5th Wheel On 2015 GMC Sierra 3500
    As the attached video shows at about the 8:25 mark, when installing the Curt Custom Installation Kit, part # C16411-204, the heat shield is pushed out of the way when installing the front rail. When installing the rear bracket, the heat shield is again pushed out of the way at about the 11:40 mark on the video. The Curt Fifth Wheel Hitch, part # C16245 features a 2-jaw locking system and has a towing capacity of 24,000 lbs.

    Thanks for reaching out, Chuck! The 18K Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550034 will work great with your Reese 5th Airborne pin box - you just need to lockout the rotating turret (if it has that feature) and then use either the Locking Plate # DM6026 if it's an older pin box, or the Locking Plate # DM77GV if the pin box is from 2020 or after. If you don't already have bed rails installed on your truck then I also recommend picking up the Curt # C16411-204 which...

    With Reese's recent buyout (2023) some of their parts are bit hard to come by during the transition, with rail kits being one of the affected items. We do still have the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit # RP30035 in stock, but these are universal fit brackets which require quite a bit of drilling into the frame. Personally, I would switch to the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC # C16411-204 to have custom-fit brackets that will match up to the factory...

    The Curt item # C16100 will fit but they are universal and you'll have to drill holes in your truck's frame. Instead, I recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit item # C16411-204. These are custom fit and install in preexisting holes in your 2014 Silverado 2500's frame. You will only need to drill into your truck bed to install these. They fit both the 6-3/4' and 8' bed lengths. I have linked an installation video below that will show you the process for getting the custom...

  • Will Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails with Installation Kit Fit a 2012 Chevy Silverado 2500
    I don't recommend using the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails with Installation Kit part # C16200 on a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 - 6-1/2 Foot Bed because it requires drilling into the frame although it will still fit. Instead, I recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC part # C16411-204 which does not require drilling into the frame. These will both work great with a hitch like the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # 16516. If you don't already have...

  • Does Curt Fifth Wheel Rail Kit part # C16411-204 Have Weight Capacity
    Fifth wheel rail kit manufacturers all state that the weight capacity of their rails like the # C16411-204 is the weight capacity of whatever hitch is installed in them. So what that means for you is that you'd only ever have to worry about the capacity of the hitch you have.

If you look into the bed of your truck and you don't see any mounting hole you wouldn't have it. Most likely you'd know if you did though since they are pretty noticeable.

  • 5th Wheel Install Kit and Slider Hitch Recommendation for 2015 GMC Sierra Duramax Diesel Short Box
    A fixed 5th wheel hitch cannot be used in your 2015 GMC Sierra Duramax diesel with 6.5-ft box. Short bed trucks like yours must use a sliding 5th wheel hitch in order to have enough clearance for tight turns. In terms of an installation kit I recommend a custom type since this will reduce overall install time and eliminate the need to drill into the truck's frame for the under-bed brackets. These will mount to existing holes in the frame. I suggest the Curt # C16411-204. For a sliding...

If your PullRite 2700 is an ISR series, it'll work well with the # C88KR puck to rail adapter. The adatper is compatible with the Fort OEM puck layout.

Because drilling through the frame will be required, you might seriously consider a custom install kit that uses existing holes in the frame like # C16411-204. The custom kit will shave an hour and a half to 2 hours off the install time.

    The fifth wheel hitch installation kit used on your 2006 Silverado isn't compatible with your 2015 Silverado, I'm sorry to say. This is because of the differences in the truck frame that occurred in the 2007 model year. Also, the hardware used to install the fifth wheel hitch in your 2006 Silverado is meant for a one time use only. It isn't meant to be reused. If your 2015 Silverado is a 2500 model, you'll need the # C16411-204 install kit. If you have a 1500 model, use the Curt # C16400-204...

  • Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for 2018 Silverado 2500 Short-Bed Towing Montana 5th Wheel
    A short-bed pickup like your 6-1/2-foot-bed 2018 Silverado 2500 will need a sliding type 5th wheel hitch in order to have enough turning clearance to avoid contact between the truck cab and the trailer overhang. Slider hitches come in both manual and automatic types. Since your Montana has a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 16750-lbs I suggest selecting a hitch with a 20K weight rating to provide you with a good safety margin.

The height of this 5th Wheel Hitch can range between 17-1/2 inches to 21-1/2 inches. I did some research and found that the depth of the truck bed on your 2012 GMC Sierra is 21 inches. To be sure the hitch will fit under your Tonneau Cover when it is closed, you can measure from your truck bed floor to the underside of the Tonneau Cover. As long as this provides at least 22...

    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 only option is to either replace the pin box with one of the same bolt pattern or to replace the hitch....

    There are two ways to install a fifth wheel hitch on a pick up truck. One would be to use standard bed-mounted rails. 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...

    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...

  • Is Center Section of Curt Q25 FifthWheel Hitch Available for Purchase As A Separate Part
    While some hitches will break down into 3 sub assemblies, the head, the feet and the center section, Curt combines the center section with the head as a single unit, part # C16565. The center section alone isn't available individually as a component part.

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Parts Needed to Tow a 25,000 Lb 5th Wheel Trailer with a 2018 Ford F-350
    I do have both gooseneck and 5th wheel hitch options for your 2018 Ford F-350 but you will need to choose between one or the other. As you mentioned, the B&W Companion part # BWRVK3500 for fixed or part # BWRVK3400 for sliding is only rated at 20,000 lbs. They do make adapters like part # 16310 but they also only have a 20,000 lb towing capacity. The correct B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for your F-350 is part # BWGNRK1116. It has a 30,000 lb towing capacity. I have...

  • Determining Hitch Height Needed For Proper Bedrail Clearance
    The Curt Rota-Flex 5th Wheel Pin Box # LC328329 is not compatible with a Curt E-Series or Q-Series fifth wheel hitch like your # C16265. The design of the Rota Flex will actually wear down the head of these hitches and end up breaking them. You'll want to immediately stop using the two together to avoid any chance of damage going forward and swap out either the hitch or pin box. To solve your bedrail issue we'll need to see how you trailer sit and the height of your bed to determine the...

  • 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.
