Features to know about

Rated to Handle the Heaviest 5th Wheels

Q Hitch installed in truck bed

This hitch is built from heavy-duty steel and rated for 25,000 lbs GTW, giving you the muscle to handle even the biggest, fully loaded 5th-wheel campers with confidence. And it gives you room to grow if you move to a larger 5th wheel down the line. Plus, the protective powder coat helps resist rust and wear over time, so you can rely on it season after season. This sturdy construction provides a strong base to a hitching system that feels just as solid when you back in and hitch up.

Full-Contact Jaw Connection

Q Hitch open jawsQ Hitch closed jaws

Slide-bar and single-jaw hitches are known for leaving too much room around the king pin. That looseness leads to noise, slop, and an unsettling feel on the road. This dual-jaw system wraps tightly around the king pin from all sides to create a stable connection that feels locked in as soon as you hitch up. It holds firm to reduce noise and cut down on movement. You'll notice the difference the first time you tow.

Know When You're Locked

Q Hitch color coded indicator

Before you pull away, a quick glance at the color-coded indicator shows you exactly what the jaws are doing: red means uncoupled, yellow means ready to couple, and green means you're locked in for towing.


Q Hitch indicator on handle

There's no need to climb into the bed to check the connection since you can easily see the color at a glance. If you've ever thought the jaws were locked only to find out they weren't, you know how bad things can get. This system keeps that from happening.

Quiet, Fluid Motion on the Road

You'll feel the change as soon as you're moving. The hitch head pivots smoothly on a spherical axial bearing, allowing full 360-degree movement. As the head moves, rubber bushings help absorb shock and reduce the jerking motion that leads to chucking. It's not just about softening the impact of rough roads. It's about helping you stay more comfortable behind the wheel by reducing the constant shifting and jolts that wear you down over time. From campground runs to multi-state road trips, the ride feels more stable, more responsive, and less like a fight with every bump.

Remove the Hitch in Two Steps

When the trip is over and you need your truck bed back, this hitch removes in two steps with no tools. Pull the first set of pins to lift off the head, then use the handles on the legs to release the hitch from the pucks. The parts are still relatively heavy, but this design takes some of the strain out of the process. It's a solid solution for anyone switching between trip mode and work mode where being able to clear your bed matters.

Everything You Need to Install

This hitch is designed to drop into your truck's factory puck system using quarter-turn anchors for a fast, secure fit. It ships with the head, puck-style legs, and all necessary hardware. There are no rails or brackets to worry about. That makes installation easier to handle whether you're doing it yourself or taking it to a shop.

  • Recommended Pin Box an Suspension Upgrade for a 2025 Venture Sporttrek 353VIK 37’ 5th Wheel
    Hey Tom, congrats on the new 5th wheel trailer and thank you so much for all of the information! I recommend the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel Pin Box item # GY68GR. The Gen-Y has a rubber torsion spring design that helps absorb both downward and upward movements from the trailer when hitting a bump in the road. Other shock absorbing pin boxes, like the Curt Flex Air item # LC369535, use an air spring and shock that are great for downwards forces but aren't the best at pulling...

    The highest capacity legs for the Curt Q25 5th wheel hitch item # C16039, that fit the Ford factory prep package, are the Curt OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch Legs for Ford Super Duty Towing Prep Package item # C16017. These replacement legs that fit the Ford factory puck system have a 24,000 lbs capacity. I have linked a picture of them installed below.

  • Comparing Curt Q24, Curt Q25 and Curt A25 Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2019 Ford F-350 With Factory Pucks
    Realistically the Curt Q25 # C16039 fifth wheel hitches are no different and will give the same performance. Both of these hitches will fit into the puck system of your 2019 Ford F-350 Super Duty and have a 24,000 lb capacity. The head unit of the Q25 is rated for 25,000 lbs but the legs are rated for 24,000 lbs and the capacity needs to go by the lowest-rated component. The Curt Q25 # C16039 is a solid wheel hitch and will do its job, but the better option is the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch For 2017 Ford F-350 Super Duty w/8 Foot Bed & Factory Rail Kit
    While a great hitch, the B&W hitch part # BWRVK3600 does not fit your factory puck system because it is designed for Rams. Instead, the B&W Companion hitch part # BWRVK3300 is what you need to fit your F-350. However, it only has a maximum gross towing weight of 20,000 lbs. For the additional capacity the Curt Q25 hitch part # C16039 and the Reese M5 hitch part # RP30922 will fit your truck. The Curt Q25 part # C16039 is a heavy duty fifth wheel hitch with a gross towing weight of 24,000...

  • Is There a 5th Wheel Hitch Option for a Flat-Bed Ford Super Duty with Pucks
    The only option we have for determining whether or not a truck has the factory fifth wheel prep package would be a visual inspection, we cannot run VIN's. If you have a flat-bed, you'd have to look for the supports underneath the truck. If they are present, you could use the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16039 but you'd have to cutout enough material in the bed for the legs to sit flush with the pucks. If you don't have the pucks, the best option we can offer for fifth wheel...

    The excellent B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3300 for Ford trucks that you referenced is indeed rated for 20,000-lbs towing capacity.

  • 5th Wheel Trailers Hitch that Fits Directly in 2011 Ford F-450 Factory Prep Package
    There isn't a way to adapt the Hi-Rise # 9480 to the Ford factory prep package on your 2011 Ford F-450. There are a couple of options for you. First, if you want to use an adapter you can use the Andersen Ranch Hitch, # AM3100. I have linked a video review of this adapter for you. The other option is if your F-450 has the 4 pucks and not just the gooseneck hitch. There are 5th wheel hitches that will fit directly into the factory pucks.
