Features to know about
Built for Heavy Loads and Long Hauls: 25,000 lbs GTW and 6,250 lbs Vertical Load Limit
This hitch is built from sturdy steel with a durable carbide powder coat finish and rated for 25,000 lbs gross towing weight and 6,250 lbs vertical load. It’s engineered to stay solid and steady under heavy fifth wheels and toy haulers. The interlocking 2-jaw system provides 360-degree contact around the king pin, which keeps the connection tight and cuts down on rattle compared to slide-bar models. The result is a stable, confident pull every time you hit the road.
Smooth, Quiet Towing You Can Feel: Fully Articulating Torsion Head with 360-Degree Pivot
The head on this hitch pivots on a spherical axial bearing that moves freely in all directions. That design helps absorb road shock and reduces the clunking that can wear you down on long drives. As the trailer moves over uneven pavement or dips, the torsion head smooths it out so the ride feels steady and quiet from start to finish.
Clearance When You Need It: Non-Binding S25 Slider with 12" Fore/Aft Travel
If you’ve ever worried about tight turns at slow speeds, the S25 slider solves that problem. Its non-binding design lets the hitch travel 12" front to back so you have the clearance needed for safe turning without hitting the cab during sharp angles. It automatically latches in both directions, so you only need to step out once to slide it into position. The smooth, solid feel makes maneuvering easier in parking lots or campsites.
Quick Setup and Easy Removal: 1-Pin Head Removal and Drop-In Rail Adapter
When it’s time to install or clear your bed, this setup keeps things simple. The included OEM adapter rails drop right into the puck receivers and pin into place in minutes. For removal, pull a single pin to lift off the head—manageable for one person thanks to its fast-release design. Built-in zerk fittings make lubrication easy, and the included plastic lube plate helps the king pin glide smoothly when you back in to couple up.
Confidence at a Glance: Three-Point Color-Coded Lock Indicator
You can tell exactly what your hitch is doing before you even climb in. The color-coded system shows red for uncoupled, yellow for ready to couple, and green for towing. It’s visible from the cab or at a glance while standing beside the truck. Once you uncouple, the handle resets automatically so it’s ready for the next hookup—no guesswork or extra steps needed.

Video Transcript for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch Adapter Rails Review
What's up everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna checking out via Curt Adapter. Now it's for OEM puck systems in the bed. So it's gonna take the underbed puck system make it a overed puck system. That way you can attach your fifth wheel to this and use the one you have already. Let's check it out.
It's gonna be really good if you already have a fifth wheel that you used in roller truck, you wanna transfer it over to this system. It doesn't drop in the puck, or you just wanna upgrade to a different one that also works above bed. That's what this is gonna do. It's gonna convert the puck system to an above bed system and you just drop it in any of these tabs here right away. I wanna show you how easy it is to operate.
So I'm gonna pull the clip and the pen. This is a lever that's gonna turn this portion to let you lift it up and outta the pucks, and I gotta do it on all four sides, but it's really easy to do compared to some of the other adapters I've worked with. There was the Reese one that I've also used but it has the longer arms that pin here in the center and that can be kind of cumbersome to bring those all the way out here and out of the way to unlock it from the pucks. These are shorter handles, so you just push it out makes it far easier. It does clear everything right here.
You don't have to go for that long lever style. So now it's unlocked. I can just lift it up and out of the pucks. It's like our back one's stuck, so I gotta get that lever in the right spot, that easy to do. Now it's up and out of the pucks and we can take it out of the truck.
Installations just as easy. Make sure you got those levers in the correct spot. You see that this portion that goes down into the puck is lined up with it. You just lift it up. Drop it in. Now you might only get one or two of them in. Then you can come over here and adjust. Very easy to come down. I also like that there's plenty of room in between the bend and the bottom of the bar so you don't have to worry about smashing my hands when I'm dropping into place. Once it's lined up in place, you can pull the lever back over. It should go over there. That's gonna lock it in and then we'll put our pin and clip right there in the hole. The way it locks in those pucks is gonna help prevent chucking. I'm gonna try and shake it back and forth. You see it'll move a little bit, but not a whole lot. I'm really shaking the whole truck versus what's gonna move on the fifth wheel, the whole thing has a durable carbate black product oak finished. So if you leaving it in the back of the truck you don't have to worry about the elements bothering it at all. The tabs where you drop the fifth wheel legs in so this is gonna be what kind of fifth wheel spread will work with the adapter. It's gonna go from the furthest ones out. It's gonna be 29 inches center to center. The next one's in it's gonna be 21 inches center to center and then here's gonna be 10 inches center to center. So that should help you decide if your setup's gonna work with the adapter or not. Another thing to think about about is it is gonna add three inches to the bed so that means it's gonna bring your fifth wheel head up three more inches. Just keep that in mind when you're doing your setup. Overall, I really like this adapter. Like I said, it was easier to use than some of the other ones I have used. These quarter turn latches here and drop in the pucks. Make it really easy to get in into place or get it out of here when you want it out and it's gonna help convert that underbed system to an over bed system to using over bed fifth wheel. Well. I think that does it. Thanks for hanging out. I hope this helps..

I decided to order this adapter because I bought a new truck and wanted to use the 5th wheel I had. Fred at etrailer was a tremendous help. He took the time to go through everything and find the right one and explained it all very well. Believe me, I was very skeptical on ordering but Fred assured me this would work on my 2025 Ram. I was pleasantly shocked when I got it and everything went right into place. Very easy to install. Thank you so much Fred for all of your help!!

Easy to install, took me about 45 minutes. Be sure to put your hitch in place before tightening the 8 bolts. It does sit pretty high so will need to adjust 5th wheel hitch to accommodate the extra height when compared to the older style bed rails.
I have a Curt A16 5th wheel hitch and a Curt gooseneck plate. Both of these fit perfectly. Definitely much cheaper than having to buy new 5th wheel hitch and new gooseneck ball for the puck system. Saved me about $1400

So here's my thoughts after installing this unit. First, the unit is made in the USA (according to their website) but al the bolts used are metric. Second, the installation instructions are generic and are mostly for a fixed hitch versus the sliding hitch, so you have to guess on assembly of some items. Also, you pay close to $[XX] for this unit and they go cheap and do not provide any lubricating grease that "they" recommend you apply. $[XX] purchase and could not include 10 cents worth of grease. Finally, the torque specs are listed but the bolt locations are not shown with pictures, just a name which you need to guess. This can be problematic since the torque specs range from 60 ft lbs up to 200ft lbs. Choose the wrong one and you break a bolt off.

I bought a 2023 Ram 3500 that had the factory pucks in it, so I needed this adapter so I could continue using my B&W Patriot hitch. This fit my truck perfectly and my hitch fits this adapter perfectly. Even better than it fit the rails in my old truck, actually. This does raise the hitch probably an inch higher that it was, so be aware of that. One part of the instructions is out of order. How to adjust the locking mechanism is at the very end. You need to adjust each one as you go. Other than that, it was very intuitive and easy to put together. I did use a little blue Loctite on the nuts, but that's me. This thing is beefy. I'm sure it will last a long time.

it fit perfectly in my RAM 2500 2022 , it reduce the height by 3.5 inch from my original roller Curt set up, since I have air suspension in the back I will simply said be careful when you disconnect because the back of the pick up spring upward when load is removed. The reason I switch was the high of the roller sytem and the puck was way too high for my fifth wheel.

Not very happy with this product. With the hitch mounted to this rail, you could feel the play between the rail and the hitch every time I braked or accelerated I ended up selling it at a severe loss. It will get you out of a bind, but if you are looking at this for long term, just buy the hitch made for the puck system.

Heavier than expected (95#) shipping weight. Which is a good thing. The description probably said that but I didn’t pay attention. The only warning I would give I’d that this with add 3.25” or so of height to your hitch. If you don’t have the adjustment in your set up you may want to look for something a little lower profile. I’m happy with the purchase and very happy with etrailer. Very fast shipping and good prices.

If your Ram truck has the factory puck system you won't need a set of rails to install an Anderson Hitch.

If you're looking at one that attaches to 5th wheel rails you'll have to use the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch item # C29BR.

First we have the Adapter Rails # C29BR which fit into the pucks and give you the ISR mounting points. Do note this will raise the hitch 2" so you will likely need to lower the height of the hitch.

If you have the PullRite 2900 that fits the GM puck system there's no adapter available that will make it work in the Ram puck system. Additionally, the bases are not interchangeable so you would need to purchase the PullRite SuperGlide 5th Wheel Hitch for Ram Factory Prep Package item # PUL28RR you were looking at.

Then with the adapter rails, you will be able to use the Curt Spyder Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails # 16085.

I’m assuming you have an 8' bed since you were looking at a stationary hitch rather than a slider (if it’s a 6-3/4' bed, it’s usually recommended to go with a slider hitch to help with sharp turns).

view full answer... - Can A Q25 Fixed Hitch Be Used In A Short Bed 2022 Ram 2500The Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package # C16049 would fit in a 6-1/2' bed like your 2022 Ram 2500 has, but you're limiting the amount of turning clearance you have and run the risk of the nose of the 5th wheel coming into contact with the cab of the truck when making tight turns.
