This hitch is made for heavy-duty fifth-wheel towing with a 25,000-lb gross towing weight rating and a 6,250-lb vertical load limit. The sturdy steel construction and durable carbide powder coat finish give it the backbone and protection needed for long hauls with large trailers. It’s a solid setup that feels steady mile after mile.
The interlocking 2-jaw system wraps completely around the king pin for 360-degree contact, cutting down on rattle and movement that you’d get from slide-bar models. The result is a quieter ride with less chucking and more confidence in your connection. It’s the kind of solid hookup that helps keep everything stable and predictable when you’re on the road.
No guessing or climbing into the bed to check your jaws—just look at the color indicator. Red means uncoupled, yellow means ready to couple, and green means you’re locked for towing. The indicators are visible from the cab, so you always know your hitch’s status before pulling away.
The fully articulating torsion head self-aligns as you back in, making coupling smoother and faster. It helps control movement for a quieter, more stable ride while reducing road shock. The single-throw, lockable handle lets you secure the trailer to the hitch with a padlock (sold separately) and automatically resets to the ready-to-couple position after uncoupling.
When it’s time to clear the bed, pull one pin and remove the head—simple as that. This design makes it easy for one person to lift off without extra tools or equipment. The included plastic lube plate also helps the king pin glide smoothly into place during hookup, keeping things clean and low-maintenance for next time.
This fifth-wheel hitch is compatible with rotating pin boxes, such as the Reese Sidewinder, Reese Revolution, and 5th Airborne Sidewinder, only when used with a wedge (sold separately).

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.
