With a 25,000-lb gross towing weight rating and a 6,250-lb vertical load limit, this Curt A25 hitch is ready for serious fifth-wheel towing. The sturdy steel construction gives you solid confidence when you’re pulling large trailers, and the durable carbide powder coat finish helps the hitch stay looking good and protected against wear. It mounts above bed rails for a strong, stable connection that stays true over long miles on the road.
The interlocking two-piece jaws wrap completely around the king pin for a secure fit that feels tight and steady. Unlike slide-bar designs that can rattle, this dual-jaw setup holds firm with 360-degree contact, cutting noise and movement between truck and trailer. That full wrap gives you smoother starts and stops and a quieter ride every time you hit the highway.
You don’t have to guess if the jaws are locked. A quick look at Curt’s color-coded indicator shows you what’s happening—red means uncoupled, yellow means ready to couple, and green means it’s locked in and ready to tow. The indicators are easy to see from the cab, so you can double-check your connection without climbing into the bed. When you uncouple, the handle resets itself so it’s ready for the next hookup.
The torsion head pivots to match the trailer’s movement for controlled coupling and smoother towing. It helps absorb road shock and keeps rattles down so long hauls feel calmer behind the wheel. The included plastic lube plate lets the king pin glide smoothly into place when hitching up, cutting down on metal-to-metal contact.
When it’s time to open up your truck bed, this hitch breaks down quickly. Pull one pin to remove the head—light enough for one person to handle—and lift it out without tools. Built-in zerk fittings make lubrication simple so it stays ready for your next trip without extra fuss.
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.
