Features to know about
Rated to Handle Heavy 5th Wheels: 25,000 lbs GTW and 6,250 lbs Vertical Load Limit
This hitch is built from heavy-duty steel and rated for 25,000 lbs GTW with a 6,250 lbs vertical load limit. It’s designed to handle the biggest fifth wheels with confidence and gives you room to grow if you upgrade to a heavier camper later on. The powder-coated finish helps resist rust and wear so it stays tough season after season. Every time you back in and hitch up, the solid feel of the connection gives you that peace of mind you want when pulling serious weight.
Locked In and Ready to Tow: Color-Coded Indicator for Quick Visual Checks
Before you pull away, a quick look at the color-coded indicator tells you exactly what the jaws are doing—red means uncoupled, yellow means ready to couple, and green means you’re locked in for towing. You can see it from outside the bed so there’s no need to climb in just to double-check your connection. It’s a simple way to confirm everything’s secure before hitting the road.
Quiet, Smooth Towing: Dual Jaw with 360-Degree Pivoting Head
The dual-jaw design wraps tight around the king pin for full contact, cutting down on clunking and slop that single-jaw hitches often have. The hitch head pivots 360 degrees on a spherical axial bearing, and rubber bushings help take up shock and reduce chucking. The result is a steady, quiet ride that feels more comfortable on long hauls.
Free Up Your Bed Fast: Two-Step, Tool-Free Removal
When the trip’s done and it’s time to clear your truck bed, this hitch breaks down in two steps with no tools. Pull one set of pins to lift off the head, then use the handles on the legs to release it from the anchors. The parts are still heavy but manageable, making it easier to switch between towing duty and everyday use without hassle.
Built Tough for Years of Use: Steel Construction with Powder Coat Finish
Made from steel with a carbide powder coat finish, this hitch is built to last through rough roads and repeated use. The coating helps protect against corrosion so it stays looking good while standing up to tough conditions over time. It’s a rock-solid design that keeps working season after season with minimal upkeep.

Decal on crooked. The main part just barely made it in the box. Wood and Styrofoam over everything.
Paint is excellent, metal workmanship is excellent.
I will purchase this again.
Not their fault that shipping was bad.
It seems to be very sturdy hitch.

This hitch is the BOMB! It fit my 2020 Silverado 3500HD perfectly! It was so easy to put together with the detailed instructions, and dropped right in. Just some minor adjustments to the locking handles is all hat was needed. By removing the head, I can lift the pieces myself! This will make pulling my 40’ 5th Wheel a breeze!
This was the best decision I could have made!

Shipping was fast but the boxing department needs work. Box was destroyed in shipping because of thin/cheap quality. Luckily all the parts were still there!
Fitment is a little tight too tight, have to really jump on it to make it go into the “pucks”. Not sure if its the hitch or the factory puck system

Purchased second Curt hitch from E-Trailer in 4 years. 1st hitch arrived missing key component parts that required a visit to a Curt dealer and swapping out the top head. This recent hitched arrived in 2 shipments- the bottom arrived on a Wednesday and then the second package containing the head arrived a day later missing bolts. The Chevy dealer who installed this hitch charged me $350 to go out and purchase the missing bolts and the install.
All component parts should be wrapped in secure packaging and secured inside the base piece so when the outside box arrives damaged, you won’t be out of luck with missing pieces.

etrailer's online information was accurate & correct. I'd purchased the same hitch from one of their competitors & needed to return it since they were supposedly unaware that GMC changed there tow package hole spacing in 2020. Delivery of my Curt Q25 for my 2021 Chevy 2500 was quick, when promised & the correct product. With the bed tow preparation package installation was a snap, 4 bolts to assemble & install. It took me about an hour and a half total which included uncrating & searching for my torque wrench.

- Auto Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch For A 2025 Chevy 2500 Short BedHi Dan! I do have an option for a 16k auto-slide 5th wheel hitch that will fit your 2025 Chevy 2500 short bed, but I am not aware of Curt making an auto-sliding hitch. Did you by chance mean PullRite? If you did, we have the PullRite SuperGlide 5th Wheel Hitch for Chevy/GM Factory Prep Package - 24K # PUL83RR, but not the 16k at the moment. For that, you would need the following two parts: Curt Adapter Rails - Ford and Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # C88KR PullRite SuperGlide 5th Wheel...
view full answer... - Can Curt Q25 Fixed Hitch Work with 2025 Chevy Silverado 3500HD Short BedHey Vince, yes the Curt Q25 fixed hitch part # C97FR can be used in the bed of your 2025 Chevy Silverado 3500 with OEM pucks. This is a fixed hitch which means it doesn't have a way to gain additional turning clearance like what is normally needed with short bed trucks like yours...HOWEVER nowadays most fifth wheel campers have tapered noses or pivoting pin boxes to allow for short bed turning clearance that does not require a slider so most likely this will work just fine for you. If...

view full answer... - Are The Curt Q-Series Fifth Wheel Hitches Compatible With Sidewinder Pin BoxesThe little tech note on Reese's page is worded a bit misleadingly. The Sidewinder Wedge Kit for Curt E-Series Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP64FR you were looking at is only compatible with the Curt E-Series hitches, which is why it says not to use with the A-Series. The Q-Series hitch heads are not compatible with the stress that a Sidewinder would put on it which is why we list it as not compatible. If you plan on using a Curt hitch with a Sidewinder pin box then you'll definitely...
view full answer... - Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 w/ Factory Puck System Yes, it will. The Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # C97FR will mount directly to the pucks inside your 2024 Silverado's bed. As far as your 1621 pin box goes that's just the bolt pattern so I can't say for certain. If your pin box rotates then it will not work with the Q25. Other than that you will be good. The Curt Q25 item # C97FR has a 25,000 lbs maximum towing capacity and a vertical load limit of 6,250 lbs.
view full answer... - Will A Tight Fitting 5th Wheel Hitch Put Too Much Strain On An In-Bed Puck System It's very common that the legs of a fifth wheel hitch have to be loosened in order to drop into the pucks in the truck bed. With you only have an 1/8" gap the legs of your Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C97FR most likely just were sitting perfectly straight so it's nothing to worry about. Typically we recommend have the legs torqued down to the main body of the hitch and then just loosening the castle nut on the feet of the hitch to get them to drop into the pucks and then retightening them.

The Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # C97FR will fit any 8' bed Chevrolet/GMC truck that has the factory 5th wheel trailer prep package (puck system). If you have industry standard rails in your truck, you can get the Replacement Base Legs for Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16963.

- Does B and W Companion Hitch Head Have Ability to Pivot In All DirectionsThe B and W Companion hitches like the # BWRVK3710 that fits your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 OEM prep package does have a pivoting head that can move forward and back as well as side to side. Other manufacturers have this as well but they use different terminology like what you referred to.
view full answer... - Comparing Curt A25 and Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches for a 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 with PrepThe main difference between the Curt A-Series part # C24FR and Q-Series part # C97FR is the head and jaw design. The A-Series has dual interlocking jaws which form a much tighter grip on the kingpin than just a standard set that butt up at the end like on the Q-Series. The tighter grip on the kingpin means less movement such as chucking and jarring which equates to a smoother ride. The A-Series also has a one-pin head removed which saves your back when getting the hitch in and out of the...
view full answer... - Will the Curt Q25 Also Fit in the Short Bed 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 OEM PucksYes. The Curt Q25 # C97FR does also fit in the OEM prep package on the short bed (6-3/4 foot) versions of the 2020 GMC Sierra 2500. If you're confident that you won't need a slider hitch or pin box with a rotating turret this is the correct choice,. With that said, it should be noted that the Q25 hitch is not compatible with rotating turret pin boxes because of the spherical axial bearing that the head sits on, so if you would need to switch to one later on to provide turning clearance,...
view full answer... - Will a Curt Q-25 Fit in a 2021 GMC Sierra 2500 with 6-3/4 Foot Bed and without the OEM Prep PackageI have a solution for you, but there are two issues here; the Curt Q-25 # C97FR is designed to fit in the OEM prep package for Chevy/GMC trucks and typically a non-sliding hitch is only recommended for trucks with 8 foot long beds. If you've determined that your trailer is configured in such a manner that it won't contact the cab of the trailer when making turns and you've got an OEM prep package you can use the # C97FR. However, you've indicated that you don't have the OEM prep package...
view full answer... - Difference Between the Curt Q24 & Q25 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2022 Chevrolet 2500 w/ OEM Prep PackageThe only difference between the Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C37FR and the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C97FR is indeed the 1,000 lbs. weight capacity difference. Both of these hitches actually use the same legs and will drop into the factory puck system you have in your Silverado. The 1,000 lb. difference comes from the Q24 having head rated for less than the Q25. But both heads have the same convenient features like the interlocking dual jaw system and indicator system which...
view full answer... - Recommended Height For Item # C97FR In A 2021 GMC Sierra 3500I wouldn't say there is actually a formula for setting the height for the Curt Q25 Item # C97FR on a 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 . It is recommended that the bottom edge of the nose on your 5th wheel is 6 inches above the bed rails. I typically set the hitch height in the middle initially. This seems to be the standard height of most campers. Once height is set, hook the camper up and check the distance between the bed rails and the bottom edge of the nose. If you have close to 6" you are good...
view full answer... - Hitch Recommendation for 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 - Curt Q25 with OEM Towing Prep PackageYes, this will include everything needed to install. Please see the product review video linked below. The Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # C97FR, is for Chevy/GMC trucks with the OEM puck system. This is the heavy duty dual jaw model for 25,000 lbs. with a vertical load limit is 6,250 lbs.

HD 5th Whl. Hitch. After 5k miles it is just like the day I bought it. No problems. If there is a negative, its heavy to take in and out of pu box.
