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 What to Know About the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails

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.

  • Air Bag Kit Recommendation for 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 for Use with Curt Fifth Wheel Rail Kit
    The Firestone kits like the part # F2430, which is confirmed to fit your 2018 GMC Sierra 1500, are the best option since they are the only ones compatible with in-bed fifth wheel hitch rail kits like the Curt # C16400-204 you are interested in. This kit does not require any frame drilling either.

  • What Rail Measurements Are Used for Curt Custom 5th Wheel Kit on 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 6-1/2 Bed
    In regards to the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit part # C16400-204 which is a fit for a 2017 GMC Sierra 1500, the distance from the edge of the truck bed to the edge of the forward-most rail is 47-1/2" on both the 5-1/2' and 6-1/2' bed models. The distance of 52-3/8" from the edge of the truck bed to the edge of the forward-most rail is for 8' bed models. If you don't already have a fifth wheel hitch in mind, the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R16 Slider part # C16521 is...

  • Do the Curt Q20 and Q24 5th Wheel Hitches Install the Same Way on a 2008 GMC Sierra
    The Curt Q20 # C16130 and Q24 # C16245 5th wheel trailer hitches both mount to the same above the bed industry standard rails. If your 2008 GMC Sierra is a 1500 or a 2500 Light Duty then you can use Curt installation kit # C16400-204. If it is a 2500HD or a 3500 then use # C16418-204. Custom installation kits are preferred because you won't have to drill into the truck frame for installation. They also take less time to install. I have linked the instructions for these kits for you.

  • Towing Capacity for 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 with 5.3L Engine and 3.08 Axle Ratio
    I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 with the 5.3L V8 engine and 3.08 axle ratio and it lists a maximum trailer weight of 6,500 pounds if you have the 2WD model or 6,200 pounds if you have 4WD. I do still recommend verifying this in your copy of the manual or by visiting a local Chevy dealer with your VIN.

This is custom fit and attaches by using existing holes in your Silverado's frame.

  • Can Fifth Wheel Install Kit From 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500HD Be Reused on a 2015 Silverado
    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...

    Based on my research your 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4 with the 5.3L engine and 3.42 axle ratio has a towing capacity of 9,500 pounds. As long as the 5th wheel trailer you're considering remains under this weight once it's fully loaded it looks like you will be good to go. I do still recommend verifying this capacity by taking a look at your owner's manual or even visiting/calling a local Chevy dealer with your VIN.

    The only Curt 5th wheel base rail kit that is compatible with your 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500 is the Kit # C16400-204 which uses custom mounting brackets. If you are wanting a universal rail kit then I recommend the Reese Kit # RP30035 instead. The Curt option would be easier to install as you wouldn't have to drill into the frame of your pickup. The Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # 16055 is compatible with either of the base rail kit options mentioned above. You may also be interested...

    The towing capacity of your vehicle will need to exceed the weight of your trailer in order for you to tow it, it is as simple as that. It looks like you have just enough capacity for this but you will need to pay attention to how much you load in the trailer as you don't have much left over to spare. I will say there are plenty of others on the road who are in similar situations and it really just comes down how comfortable you feel. If you are traveling across the country for several...

Instead, I recommend using the AirLift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers - Rear Axle # AL88211 (8 ft bed) or # AL88204 (short beds).

If this is the case from the end of the bed that the tailgate is connected to, to the rear edge of the rail that sits closest to the cab will be 47.500 inches on a short bed and 52.375 inches for a long bed (see attached picture). This should put your 5th wheel hitch directly above or slightly in front of your rear axle. Keep in mind that these measurements...

    The exact 5th wheel hitch set up you'll need will depend on and vary with the bed length of your truck. For a 5-1/2 foot bed, you'll either need a stationary hitch along with a Reese Sidewinder or use a Demco Hijacker Autoslide, part # DM8550040 and install kit, part # DM8552027-71. The Autoslide is definitely the easier to use option, and would also be easier to install.

For the brackets only, for your truck you'd need # C16400 which provides the frame brackets and the mounting hardware for the frame brackets or for the complete kit that also provides the bed rails and the hardware to attach the rails to the frame brackets, you'd need part # C16400-204

  • Differences Between Above and Under Bed Fifth Wheel Hitch Mounts for 2020 Ford F350
    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...

  • 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.

    I measured the jaws and on both the Q25 # C16265 and the Q20 # C16130 the thickness of both is 1/2 inch. The differences are most obvious in the vertical load limit and the gross towing weight ratings. I reached out to my contact at Curt and the jaws are identical so the differences are in other metals being a slightly thicker gauge and the leg design. My contact said they are basically the same in the hitch head except for the slightly thicker gauge metal on the Q25 head.

The only way to remedy this is to either hook your truck...

  • Is The Curt Q25 Fifth Wheel Hitch Compatible With Rota Flex Pin Boxes
    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 pivoting system of the pin box works against the pivoting system of the hitch head and can cause the components of the head to deteriorate, ultimately leading to the hitch head failing. The only option is to either replace the pin box with one of the same bolt pattern or to replace the hitch....

  • Option for Raising Nose of Momentum 3975 Wheel Trailer Towed by 2019 Ford F-350
    4 inches of clearance between the bed rails of your truck and the overhang of the 2020 Momentum 397 is the very minimum amount of clearance most refer to as safe. So strictly in that regard you aren't in a terrible position. That said, 6 inches is a much more ideal amount of clearance to have and it looks like your trailer might be a little nose low so it could stand to be raised in the front. Since pin box replacements aren't really designed for offering varying height setting you'd...
