Heavy-duty fifth-wheel trailer hitch has a dual jaw, pivoting head and color-coded lock indicator for superb safety and security. Non-binding slider ensures proper clearance during slow turns. OEM adapter rails included.
Features:
Specs:
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.
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).
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.
Most often used on trucks with 6' and 6-1/2' beds, this roller helps to eliminate clearance problems during slow-speed turns. When you are towing a fifth-wheel trailer, your hitch must be situated on the cab side of your truck's rear axle. However, at slow speeds you can use a roller to slide the fifth-wheel hitch (and the trailer) toward your truck's tailgate and past the rear axle, creating enough space between the cab of your truck and the trailer to permit less-restricted turning.
Non-Binding Design
The round-tube design of this slider allows for relatively uninhibited movement of your fifth-wheel hitch. Because your hitch can glide smoothly and easily along the rods, there is less chance of binding.
With straight, flat contact points, as found with square-tube sliders, tension can build between the slider and the hitch when your truck and trailer are somewhat out of line or are on uneven ground. As a result, it can be difficult to properly activate the slider when your truck and trailer are not in a straight line.
With a round-tube slider, there is more give between the contacting surfaces, allowing better mobility of the hitch system. Fewer corners means less tension buildup. Activating a round-tube slider is easier, and operation as a whole is smoother.

Today we're going to review part number C16570. This is the Curt R24 Round Tube Slider for the Curt Q24 Fifth Wheel trailer hitch. This does have 12 inches of travel. For demonstration purposes I do have the slider mounted on some base rails in the mounting brackets on the side. This is just for demonstration, to show you what it looks like in your vehicle. The base rails and the mounting brackets would be sold separately for your vehicle. This slider will help provide clearance which is required for your short bed pick-up to turn safely at slow speeds.
It will help prevent the trailer from hitting the cab of your pick-up during those sharp, slow speed turns. What happens is, this slider will move your hitch 12 inches to the rear or towards the tailgate and give you that extra clearance. This is designed to work with the Curt Q24 Fifth Wheel trailer hitch which is rated at 24,000 lbs. It does slide smoothly on these rounded non-binding rods. This is designed for use on trucks with beds shorter than eight feet and it's not recommended for use on beds that are shorter than six feet.
This will mount to industry standard rails made by Curt, Draw Tite, Hidden Hitch, Pro Series, Reese or Valley. It is constructed of a durable carbide powder coated steel. The gross towing weight capacity on this is 24,000 lbs. Again, the amount of travel is 12 inches front to back. It does include the four pins and clips which are used to hold the slider to the rails. It also includes these four rubber sound dampeners.
Basically what those are used for, you can see it has a little square cut out in it. It's made to fit the tab on the slider so when you go to put these in you stick these up onto where the tab is so when you drop the tab into the rail it will give you this piece of rubber between the slider and the rail. Itll eliminate . It's a sound dampener so it helps eliminate any noises. I do just want to demonstrate how this slider would work. Right now it is in the locked towing position.
The way you can tell that is you'll see this green, let me just turn this a little bit. On the end of this rod you can see there's a green line that's showing. That means it's locked, ready to tow. What you want to do is if you pull into a campsite and you want to maneuver it into a maneuvering position you want to move it the 12 inches. You just pull the handle out and then turn it a little bit counter-clockwise and that'll move that tab towards the rear of the vehicle. What will happen is when this slides, you see these notches right here in the rods. When this slides and it hits those notches you can see that it's no longer, it's not showing red over here. It is showing green so it is locked in the maneuvering position. Now when you're done maneuvering and you want to go back into the towing position, same way. All you have to do is move your handle, pull it out and just move it towards the clockwise position, the opposite. Put said tab pointing that way. Again, it's showing red, which means it's unlocked. It's not showing green. If this goes back to the towing position you can see it hits those notches, slides the handle in automatically, no red showing. The green is showing so again you're locked in the towing position. Very simple arrangement. That should do it for the review on part number C16570, the Curt R24 Round Tube Slider for the Curt Q24 Fifth Wheel trailer hitch with the 12 inches of travel. .
Showed up just in time to install and cross a few states to pick up our 1st new 5th wheel. Easy installation and showed up a few days early.
This Q25 is solid and heavy duty, I installed myself without any issues..I’m excited to pick up my new 5th wheel toy hauler in couple days…I’m happy with my purchase, I know it’s going to hold up for many camping trips to come.
Overall very happy with my Curt 5th wheel 24k hitch. I’m happy it came in pieces because of the weight totally assembled. Release spring for the slide is pretty stiff but I wouldn’t want it disengaging while driving down the road. Thanks for all your help Justin and your prompt service.
THE Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R24 Slider - Dual Jaw - 24,000 lbs. WAS EASY TO ORDER AND CAME PROMPLTY. INSTRUCTIONS WERE VERY EASY TO READ WHICH MADE INSTALLATION SIMPLE AND EASY.
Heavy duty and construction seems good. The slider handle will be tuff to use since the bed wall is so close and the spring is strong, not to mention the lack of room once a trailer is on there (possible re-design needed). Also wish it came with a few varying rubber shims that go under the assembly. The ones that came with it wont fit and without anything, it is metal to metal and a little sloppy. Other than that, I think it will work good and last a long time...
Love my fifth wheel on time delivery
Three concerns/issues. One, is that my truck sits so high up in the air, (Dodge Power Wagon) that when I was hauling the trailer I had so many issues with swaying. If you tow behind is not fairly level this will happen. It took a long time to figure this out. Might want to pass this along to other customers
Two. Should the white disc go between the hitch and the tow behind as a protective disc?
Three. on pull behinds there are chains or cables in the event that the trailer unhooks from the hitch ball. There are no safety cables or chains for a fifth wheel. How come? Just inquiring.
Like most customers the box was in really bad shape when it arrived. Everything was still together and not damaged. Received 2 of 3 boxes, contacted customer service since I needed the rail system for the rest of the assembly to mount on and they promised the rails would arrive the next day. I'm trusting they will get here. The Curt fifth wheel slider hitch is built substantially well and is impressive, cannot wait to hook up!
Have not used it yet, just put it together. The hitch is easy to operate and built very well. Only issues I have are the pieces are heavy and not sure if they can be packed any other way. UPS must have dropped one of the pieces because one of the boxes was shredded, the other had holes in it and some of the hardware was poking through the box. Great hitch all in all.
Our first fifth wheel hitch, but no stranger to trailers. This had excellent build quality and installation instructions. Fit and finish is spot on. Best part it fits in My 2014 F250 with my diesel Aux tank with zero issues.
This was over kill for me, I always order things more heavy duty than advertised, because they always come as a lesser quality, but not this Time. It was much more heavy duty. My 5th wheel is 14,500 # so it's not
Lightweight but this thing tows my 5th wheel like it's not even there, and it got here in less than 3 full days! I'm very impressed!
Works as intended. A little noisy as the hitch’s has some slop from the slider.
I haul campers for a living and this hitch has worked great, no issues, great hitch for the money. The only thing I have done is add a teflon plate to the head so I dont have to grease the fifth wheel
Easy trouble free connect and disconnect. Quiet while traveling.
Pins were hard to get in and fifth wheel is a good three higher
Very heavy duty
Hitch is very heavy duty. Easy to install with the help of a friend. Have not had a chance to use it yet but will be this weekend.
