Video Transcript for DIY 2022 Ram 2500 Installation for the Curt Q20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch
What's up, everybody It's A.J. with etrailer.com Today, we're gonna be checking out the Curt Q20 5th wheel hitch assembly. And today we're putting it on the Curt adapter for the above-bed puck system that comes OEM with this 2022 Ram 2500. Right away we wanna point out that we are in a shorter six foot bed on this Ram. So this would really only work with a longer bed and eight for one just because of it's a static hitch, it's not gonna move around. So it would work with a slider.
You can get it in a kit with that if that's something you need but it will not work with the sidewinder style King Pin. So just keep that in mind. I think this will work great for the eight foot bed. Now today the way we have this set up is since our Ram has the factory under bed puck system, as we use the adapter from Curt and that's gonna go into those pucks and allow you to attach the fifth wheel legs to the adapter itself. That way it's above bed and you can still use this if you already had this assembly.
You just need to get the adapter to use it in your new truck with the pucks. Let's look at how it connects. It's got a two jaw system, which is better than just the one jaw system. Which that usually works but this gives you a complete coverage of the kingpin so you know it's secure in there. It's really easy operate.
We've got the handle here. I'll pull the pin. Pull this back. Even has an indicator on this side that lets you know. So it's green, so it means it's good to tow right now because it would be connected if we had something in there.
So come here, pull the side. We are in red, so that means it's uncoupled and then yellow would be it's coupled. It's ready to go. So when it's in yellow now we back up to the King Pin, it would activate these jaws. I'm gonna show you how the jaws work. This is gonna be a King Pin insert. So we're backing up to the trailer on the King Pin. It gets lined up with the two jaws. Once it hits the jaws and pushes back, they go into place. So that brings the handle in. So now the indicator's gonna be green for ready to tow. You wanna make sure you latch it back just for extra security and then you're ready to hit the road. As far as security goes, you don't have to just use this pin. It's nice as this is included, but sold separately, you can get a padlock run through there and lock this up. That way no one can unlatch this and mess with this when you're not around. When you go to set it up or back it up to your trailer, the head does pivot back and forth so that's gonna help you adjust. If it's slightly off and you're coming in and you don't have to worry about it straight on, it will adjust to you backing in. So I'll show you kind of here. I'll pull it an angle. You might not be able to see much but also pull it in to the side. It still adjusted just fine. You can see it pivots back and forth and can go front and back. So it will adjust as you back that King Pin in. You also get this plate that acts as a barrier on your King Pin. So you put it all the way on there on the bottom and that's gonna protect it against metal on metal contact. So instead it'll hit that plate as it comes in here. Which is gonna keep from scraping everything up. There's also gonna be three points to help add grease to it to keep it moving easily. So there's gonna be one up right on front. There's gonna be on the left side and there's gonna be one on the right side. Another nice thing about this is you can detach the head from the base, which is gonna not only make it lighter but easier to install or remove. So I'm gonna pull the clips on the inside and show you the two pin system. There's one on this side. So you have one on the opposite side. Then you're gonna lift and remove the head out. Now it does resist a little bit, so you will have to pull up. And as I shake it back and forth, it slowly starts to come out. And I can remove that, set it aside, and then remove the base separately. The Q20 is gonna have a gross total weight rating of 20,000 pounds. It's gonna have a vertical load limit of 5,000 pounds. And this does weigh 139 pounds. So if you need help with it, get some help loading into the truck and set in the place. Now you can disassemble it, remove the head to make it a little bit lighter and easier for one person. Installing is really easy. We just drop it off the adapter, line up the tabs with the holes, and it goes right in the place. We'll go underneath and add in our pin and clips. Overall, I think this is a good fifth wheel hitch. Now if you have the eight foot bed, it's gonna be better. Don't recommend it for the six foot bed just because of how limited it is. But the jaws going right around the King Pin, really nice. It's all the way around there. It's gonna take up some of that rattling. The way it adjusts when you back up into it is gonna be really easy to do as well. The handle was easy to pull out. It had the color code here on the side so if you did have a backup camera here or you could see it in the mirror, you could see that it was green and good to go and you're good to tow. Well, I think that does it. Thanks for hanging out and I hope this helped..

Fits like a glove. From the time UPS dropped it off it took 45 minutes to have it installed in the truck and we were hooked up to go camping, which we did! Thanks to the team for getting it shipped asap! 2020 Ram 2500 with the factory puck system.
by: Jean07/24/2022
2022 Ram 2500
it fit perfectly in my RAM 2500 2022 , it reduce the height by 3.5 inch from my original roller Curt set up, since I have air suspension in the back I will simply said be careful when you disconnect because the back of the pick up spring upward when load is removed. The reason I switch was the high of the roller sytem and the puck was way too high for my fifth wheel.

Great solution when moving to a truck with the puck system. This was cheaper than buying rails,brackets, and install costs, and when removed the bed is clean.

EASY installation with Ram OEM puck system, needed very little adjusting.
by: Brandon01/10/2023
Heavier than expected (95#) shipping weight. Which is a good thing. The description probably said that but I didn’t pay attention. The only warning I would give I’d that this with add 3.25” or so of height to your hitch. If you don’t have the adjustment in your set up you may want to look for something a little lower profile. I’m happy with the purchase and very happy with etrailer. Very fast shipping and good prices.

The pin hole alignment was off and took quite a bit of manipulation to get my fifth wheel hitch pins into the pre-drilled holes on the base receiver purchased from etrailer. After an hour and some vigorous encouragement from a hammer, I won't have to worry that the pins will ever work themselves out of the hitch.
by: Bryan 11/07/2022
Great fit, highly recommend it

I quit using it after about the fourth time, too much noise and there was to much play in between the 5th wheel hitch and the adapter

- Mounting Pattern For The Curt CrossWing 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch The Curt CrossWing # C86JR has a 20.5" x 22" center on center mounting pattern. If the adapter you have doesn't fit these dimensions then you can use the adapter # C29BR in order to mount the hitch in your 2020 Ram 3500's puck system.

- Difference Between The C16022 And C29BR Fifth Wheel AdaptersBoth adapters will fit the puck system in your 2023 Ram 2500. The # C16022 is designed to work only with Curt brand sliding fifth wheel hitches like the # C16541. The # C29BR is more of a universal adapter and can be used with both sliding and fixed fifth wheel hitches. The # C29BR will also work with other brands of fifth wheel hitch such as B&W and Reese. It will work with most fifth wheel hitches designed for industry standard rails. We generally recommend a slider for short bed models,...

For your Grand Design Reflection, I recommend the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # C16521. The A16 has a 16,000 lbs capacity and the slider base will give you 12" of travel for making tight turns. All of Curt's sliders have to use an adapter like item # C29BR to attach to your 2019 Ram 2500's puck system. If you don't want to mess around with having two different parts the B&W Companion item #...

This will lock into the pucks and provide base rails for your hitch to mount to. I've attached a customer review picture below where they also used this with a Patriot slider.

- Upgrading From Curt E16 to A16 on Ram 2500I'm assuming you have adapter rails like # C29BR in your Ram 2500 puck system which are industry standard rails. If that is the case then yes, you can install the Curt A16 # C16521 on the same rails. You can also swap out the head. The Curt R16 # C16560 is the base for both the E16 and A16. The A16 replacement head is the # C16520 and you will also need the head mounting hardware # C35UR.
view full answer... - How to Install a Curt Crosswing 5th Wheel Hitch in a Ram Factory Puck System Yes, you can. The Adapter Rails item # C29BR will drop right down into the Ram puck system and provide you with a base that works with industry standard 5th wheel hitches. This will allow you to mount the Curt CrossWing item # C86JR in any truck with the Ram factory puck system. Please note that the Adapter Rails item # C29BR will add 2" to the height to your Crosswing hitch. When installed inside your Ram's pucks the adapter sits 2" above the floor of your bed.

The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider for Ram Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3670 weighs approximately 300lbs.
view full answer... - Is There Rail Kit to Fit B and W Patriot Hitch to 2020 Ram 3500 OEM PucksHey Chris, if the B and W Patriot is the fixed hitch version you could use the rail kit adapter part # C29BR but if it's the slider there isn't a rail kit adapter available and you'd have to go with a new hitch designed to fit the pucks directly like the B and W Companion Slider part # BWRVK3670.
view full answer... - Does the Curt Q20 5th Wheel Hitch item # C16130 Mount to Rails or a Puck System?It is 5th wheel rail mounted. The Curt Q20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # C16130 has a base that attaches to in bed 5th wheel rails. If you are wanting to attach it to a Ram puck system you will need the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch - Dodge Ram Towing Prep Package item # C29BR. If you need a set of 5th wheel rails for a 2016 Ram 2500, I recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram Truck item # C16427-204.

If you have just a standard bed you'll want the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2605. This rail kit has custom fit brackets that require no drilling into the frame to install, which will save a ton of time and frustration.

view full answer... - 2019 Ram 2500 OEM Puck System Adapter for RBW Lil' Rocker 5th Wheel HitchAs long as the RBW Lil' Rocker mounts to industry standard base rails you'll need the Curt Adapter Rails # C29BR that fit in the OEM puck system on your 2019 Ram 2500 and give you a standard base rail connection. I'm attaching a photo showing the measurements for the industry standard rail measurement for you to compare with your current 5th wheel hitch and make sure they match.

- Slider Base For Mopar 30K Fifth Wheel Hitch In A 2018 Ram 3500 The Curt S25 Slider for A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # C43DR would be compatible with the head of your M30 hitch and provide 12" of travel for additional turning clearance. The downside is that you'll be lowering your overall towing capacity to 25k so you'll want to ensure it's still enough to handle the weight of the trailer. This slider base also requires base rails so if you have the OEM puck system in the bed then you'll also need the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch # C29BR.
view full answer... - Are Curt Adapter Rails For Ram Puck System Compatible With Reese 5th Wheel HitchYes, a Reese 5th wheel hitch will work and is compatible with the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch - Dodge Ram Towing Prep Package # C29BR. The # C29BR just gives you what are essentially industry-standard base rails in the form of an adapter, which is why it will work with Reese hitches.

view full answer... - Comparing Curt E16 and A16 5th Wheel Hitches for a 2022 Ram 2500 with OEM Puck SystemYou are correct that you need the Adapter Rails # C29BR to mount a 5th wheel hitch to the OEM puck system on your 2022 Ram 2500. When it comes to comparing the E16 # C16115 and the A16 # C16120, the E16 is a very entry level 5th wheel hitch while the A16 is more of a standard. This is due to the E16 having a simple slide bar jaw system that still allows the king ping to jostle around some and the hitch head cushioning is a bit more basic. The A16 has a dual jaw system that completely...

I don't have a timeframe on when that is coming out though so if you're wanting to use the CrossWing now you'll need to use the Adapter...
