The Curt lube plate has held up nicely for more than a year. Weve taken the trailer on 8-10 trips during that time frame.

Great product and great way to protect the surface of your 5th wheel hitch

Still working great



by:

I made this purchase so that I did not have to keep removing my 5th wheel hitch to use my gooseneck ball attachment. This item worked out well and made it much easier to hockup my dump trailer.



by:

Excellent packaging is by far the most important part for me. Boxes 100% intact, so great care is taken with box selection and sturdyness.

Still in excellent condition with no cracks or issues.



by:

Perfect! Arrived ahead of schedule in perfect condition. Great service from E-Trailer!



by:

Excellent size and thickness to fit on a semi truck fifth wheel in the center section.



by:

Works great! I use a similar product on my tractor trailers and I like these just the same. They are reasonably priced, easy to install and last forever! It’s still very important to grease the jaws and king pin but they really preserve the plate and hitch.



by:

I have had one of these on all of my 5th wheels. They are the way to go.



by:

I bought the wiring harness to transfer my trailer electricity from back bumper to inside bed of my Sierra 1500. Everything went smooth and I loved drilling a two inch hole in the bed of my truck. Done in less than one hour.
etrailer was familiar with this product and they were very friendly and easy to deal with.



by:

Clean use and still provides great lube action for the fifth wheel



by:

Great product, heavy duty, good heavy welds. Sharp edges, had to grind, but worth it. A lot cheaper in cost than other ones, always happy was price and products from etrailer. Super fast shipping.



by:

Ordered a B&W Companion for my truck. Quin made the process extremely easy and followed up with delivery information. Great customer service!



by:

Love the product!



by:

No problem!!!!!! Protects as it should and quiet too when running !!!!



by:

Fits good, price is good, ordering was easy and shipping was quick



by:

Package arrived on time. The assembly and installation was as easy as the video described. The quality of the hitch is very impressive.
Excited to hook up my new 5th wheeler and hit the road.
Very happy to buy a made in America product.



by:

Great product



by:

Great product



by:

It works and not grease



by:

Hitch came when expected and Alex was great when ordering hitch. It was pretty simple to install and seems to be a heavy duty hitch. My only complaint is the boxes it came in was pretty mangled up. Looked like they were drug being the delivery truck. Over all happy with this purchace.



by:

Joshua was very helpful with helping me find the correct parts



by:

Very fast delivery. Staff friendly and familiar with products. I would highly recommend.



by:

Hi! We tried another lube plate and it was
awful! Stay with etrailers and the Curt lube plate and you wont be disappointed.



by:

I have dealt with etrailer on several occasions. There products have always been as described and their delivery time is great, always sooner than expected.

  • How To Choose the Correct Lube Plate
    Generally speaking, the lube plate will need to cover the skid plate on the 5th wheel hitch. There are some pin boxes out there that will recommend a specific lube plate but most of the times this classification will be from the 5th wheel hitch manufacturer. The two most common sizes for a lube plate in regards to diameter are, 10" and 12". However, most of the time the 5th wheel hitch manufacturer will call for a certain thickness so you will need to check this as well in your owner's...

  • B&W Companion Latch Handle Stuck and Wont Unlatch
    I am a big advocate of preventative maintenance, a little bit of maintenance can save a lot of time and frustration down the road. So I recommend lubricating the hitch well and making sure that you are in line with the trailer on level ground so unhooking is a little easier. The B&W Companion Slider Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BWRVK3400 has 4 main points that need to be lubricated. The polyurethane bushings (that the head sits on) need a thin layer of white lithium...

  • Does The Demco Recon 5TH Wheel Hitch Need Lube or a Teflon Plate?
    I recommend using a Lube Plate # 16721 over covering the Demco Recon 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550043 in Grease # L74FR. The lube plate is much cleaner and you will not have to constantly clean off the dirt and apply new grease over time.

  • Is it Possible to Adjust Jaws on Curt Q16 5th Wheel Hitch
    I spoke with my contact at Curt about your Curt Q16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, part # C16120, and he said a little play is to be expected in order for the pin to rotate freely. So the jaws should not fit too tightly around the king pin. The jaws are operated by springs. The first time you used your 5th wheel hitch the springs may have been a little stiff. By the second time you used the 5th wheel you likely loosened up the springs and the jaws, resulting in the play you noticed. Also if...

  • B&W Companion Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500
    For your 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500 the B and W Companion hitch part # BWRVK3700 is the best option you have for the factory rail kit. The Companion hitches are among the nicest hitches around and are considered by most as the best fifth wheel hitch. This would be a great solution. This also will easily work with a Lippert Trailair pin box. For a B&W Companion hitch I recommend using a 10 inch diameter lube plate. We have the Reese Lube Plate, # RP83002, which is my top choice, and the...

  • Does The Curt PowerRide 30K Require A Lube Plate?
    We do carry the Curt PowerRide 30K hitch for your 2024 GMC 3500 with the factory prep. The hitch you are looking for is the # C36WR. The 30K gross towing weight and 7,500 pin weight rating make this one of the strongest hitches on the market today. You can use a lube plate like the # 16721 with this hitch, but it is not required. The built in lube plates are made to wear down and will need to be replaced over time. There are "ridges" on the built in lube plates. Once the ridges are no...

  • Lube Plate Compatibility With Demco 21K Autoslide 5TH Wheel Hitch and Lippert Rhino Box Adapter
    Demco recommends using a 3/16" or thinner Lube Plate # 16721 with their Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550035. With the addition of the Demco Autoslide Locking Plate for Lippert Rhino Pin Boxes # DM76FR you have I recommend using a dry lube on the mating surfaces to reduce wear. A good silicone dry lube like the Spray # RM-747 will not attract and hold dirt like grease.
