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 An In-Depth Look at 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 the Chevrolet and GMC trucks. Now, this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 1999 to 2010 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500, 2500 and 3500 models, with either the six and a half foot bed or the eight foot bed. 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. That'll show you if this will work for your application.

Now these brackets right here, they are designed to mount beneath your truck bed to provide the attachment point for your fifth wheel rails. Now those fifth wheel rails, we do sell separately on our website. They go by part number C16104 or C16204. And just give you an idea what those rails look like, they come in a set of two, and again, they'll attach to these mounting brackets on your vehicle. This provides a custom fit by mounting to the existing holes in your vehicle's frame.

That will minimize the amount of drilling that's required to install these, and it'll cut the installation time in half when compared with universal bracket kits. If you notice, it does include all the necessary hardware to install it. It does even come with this nice extra bracket for relocation of the electrical box. And it comes with a nice set of instructions with pictures that'll describe how these parts install. The finish on these brackets is a nice black powder coat finish to resist corrosion.

And these will work with the BMW, CURT, Draw-Tite, 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..

  • Slider Base Recommendation to Convert Curt E16 Hitch to a Slider
    Sounds like you are looking for a slider base to fit the Curt E16 hitch that you have. For that you'd want the part # C16560 and you'd be set. You'd just need to remove the head off of your current hitch and bolt it to this slider base.

  • How to Increase Cab Clearance When Towing a 5th Wheel Trailer with a 2004 GMC Sierra 6-1/2 Bed
    In order to choose a replacement pin box for your '89 Featherlite Holiday Rambler you can either look for a pin box number on your current pin box (like 1621 or 0719 for example) but if you can't locate a number the next best thing to do is take measurements of your pin box. If you can measure the width, distance from the center of the king pin to the first set of installed bolts, and then the distance between bolt holes horizontally and vertically I can use the table from the linked helpful...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch Base Rails for a 2004 GMC Sierra 2500
    Hey Austin! The correct set of 5th wheel rails for a 2004 GMC Sierra 2500 are going to be the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC item # C16418-204. This set of rails is industry standard which means it will work with most 5th wheel hitches on the market. The brackets are custom fit and install in pre-existing holes in your Sierra's frame. I have linked an installation video below so you can see how to get them installed. To make towing with a 5th wheel easier, I recommend...

    For your 2001 Chevy 2500 HD, your towing capacity for a 5th wheel is based on the Gross Combined Weight Rating. Your truck will have a sticker in the driver's door frame that states the GVWR of your truck. For your 5th Wheel, I recommend beginning with the custom rail kit # C16418-204. This kit will give you custom brackets to allow you to mount the brackets to your frame with only the need to drill one hole in the frame on each side. The other holes are already in the frame that...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel and Rails for a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Dually
    Henry, it sounds like you're looking for something like the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16180 with the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC # C16418-204. This hitch has a 25k capacity, is made by Curt, and will work great with your toy hauler. Ideally I'd say you do no drilling to install the rails but for what you're looking for the best we can do is the semi-custom install kit which will require less drilling than a universal hitch but still some drilling....

  • What is The Maximum Towing Capacity of a 2006 Chevy Silverado

    If your RBW Lil Rocker has ISR spacing (22" front to back from center of the feet) then you can use the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC # C16418-204. If not then you would need to reach out to the manufacturer of the hitch for the specific rails that would fit.

  • Recommended In-Bed 7-Way Connector For A 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500
    Chevy lists a Curt wire harness (part number 19352640) on their site but has used Pollak as the standard for many years and would be the same size. The Pollak 5th Wheel / Gooseneck T-Connector with 7-Pole # PK11893-11932 is a confirmed fit for your vehicle and should fit the hole without drilling, if it is in fact for a 7-way connector.

  • 5th Wheel Bracket/Rail Kit for 2002 GMC Sierra 2500
    I've got two different kits that'd I'd recommend, one is the # RP30035 universal kit that would require drilling into the truck frame, which would put the average install time at about 6 hours. The other is a custom install kit from Curt, part # C16418-204 that would require no frame drilling for the short bed truck or for the long bed you'll need to drill 2 frame holes. This shaves about 2 hours off the install, so many folks find the price differential between the two to be worth it....

  • Custom Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for a 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500HD Long Bed
    For your 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500HD with an 8 foot bed I would recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Rail kit part # C16418-204 which has been confirmed as a fit for your truck. Since this is a custom fit kit it will install in about half the time as a universal and will minimize drilling. This rail kit will work well with the Q20 Fifth Wheel Hitch part # C16130 that you mentioned as well. I attached an install video for this rail kit for you to check out as well.

    A sliding type 5th wheel hitch like the B&W Patriot Sliding 5th Wheel hitch # BWRVK3270 is required in a short bed truck but it can still be installed in a long bed so long as you always keep the hitch in the forward locked position. The Patriot requires industry-standard above-bed base rails for installation. In a 2005 GMC Sierra 1500 you can have the easiest installation using a custom kit that needs less drilling, such as the Curt # C16418-204 which is shown in the linked install video....

I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view. If you do have a 1500HD you can use a custom installation kit like # C16418-204. Even though this is a Curt brand installation kit it is still compatible with your Reese hitch.

The Curt A16, part # C16120 would be a great choice for a long bed truck, but for a short bed, you'll need the sliding version of the 16K A20, part # C16521.

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Rail Kits that Fit 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
    The rails are all made to the same specs for the most part as far as how the hitches fit into them but as far as how they attach to the brackets under the truck bed they are different enough that they are not interchangeable. The two most common kits for your 2008 Chevy Silverado 2500HD are the Reese part # RP50064-58 and the Curt # C16418-204 which you can check out and let me know if either brackets match what you have.

    That is correct, your Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16245 is not compatible with Rota-Flex pin boxes like the Trailair Rota-Flex 5th Wheel Pin Box # LC328330. This is due to the pivoting system in the pin box and the pivoting system in the hitch head working against each other which can ultimately lead to the hitch head failing. Instead, your only other option is to replace your pin box, or replace your 5th wheel hitch with something that is compatible with your pin box. I recommend...

To install the hitch, you'd need the # C16411-204 bracket/bed rail kit. If you needed the sliding version, you'd use # C16566, but because the slider assembly's capacity is 24K, you'd be limited to that capacity.

You would instead use the fixed version # C16245. But, if you still want to use the slider version you can but there won't be a need to slide it back out of the towing position.

    I am sorry to hear about your problem with your Curt Q24 5th wheel hitch # C16245. With a trailer as large and heavy as a 42-foot Montana it will be critical to have the trailer and truck on level ground and in a straight line with each other for all coupling and uncoupling processes. Any tension between the king pin and the hitch's jaw will make it difficult for the jaw mechanism to open to release the king pin.

  • Experiencing Chucking When Towing a Car Trailer with a 2010 GMC 3500 Diesel and Curt Q24 Hitch
    There are a few things to look that could cause chucking when towing a fifth wheel trailer. The Curt Q24 is one of the best hitches on the market to reduce chucking when towing a fifth wheel trailer. The first thing I would check is to make sure everything in your towing set up does not exceed any capacities. The weight of your trailer does fall within the capacity of this hitch, but based on my research of your 2010 GMC 3500 Dually 6.6L turbo diesel, the weight of your trailer is close...

I recommend using the Reese Underbed Rail and Installation Kit # RP30073 which will give your F-450 a puck system. You can then use the Reese Elite Series Adapter # RP30156 which makes the puck system compatible with 5th wheel hitches that use standard base rails.

  • How Does Jaw Mechanism of Curt Q24 Hitch Open and Lock
    The handle/release design of the Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16245 is supposed to work like a ratchet almost.
