• Troubleshooting a Curt A16 5th Wheel Hitch Not Hooking Up Smoothly to a Reese Sidewinder
  I have a suspicion on what the issue could be. There is a good chance that the 5th wheel hitch and wedge are not compatible with the Sidewinder. It at all comes down to what Sidewinder you have. If your Sidewinder is the more current model (68220), then the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C74FR and Sidewinder Wedge for Curt A Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # C16992 would not be compatible. There was a design change between the Sidewinder generations that causes the wedge to sheer...

• Are Curt Q24 and Air RIde 5th Wheel Pin Box Compatible With 2024 GMC 3500 Short Bed
  It sounds like you might already have a Q24 from your old setup and would like to use it with your 2024 GMC 3500. The fixed Q24 # C16245 (for above bed rails) or # C37FR (for OEM prep package) will fit if you have the short bed. However, you are going to run into clearance issues. A short bed typically requires a sliding 5th wheel hitch or rotating pin box. The Q24 is not compatible with a rotating pin box so using the Curt R24 Round Tube Slider for Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # C16570...

  The Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C47FR which is a fit for 2020+ GM trucks equipped with the factory prep/puck system, IS compatible with rotating pin boxes as long as the proper wedge is used.

• Best Cost Effective Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2021 Chevy Silverado 3500 with OEM Rail Kit
  Since your camper has a turning point pin box that would mean you wouldn't need a slider hitch for turning clearance. This means you'd be able to use a fixed hitch which will save you money, weight, and noise on the highway. The absolute most cost effective solution would be the Curt E16 part # C47FR but due to the slide bar jaw design it would be a bit noisy so for a similar priced hitch with a much nicer jaw design you'd want the Reese # RP26FR instead. As long as the trailers you...

• Can Fixed 5th Wheel Hitch Be Used In 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 With Short Bed?
  If your 5th wheel trailer does not have a rotating pin box I recommend going with a sliding 5th wheel hitch such as the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3775 which will fit directly in the OEM puck system in your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500.

• Are Curt Q Series 5th Wheel Hitches Compatible with a Reese Sidewinder
