Secure, Two-Piece Jaw

Q24 Two-Piece Jaw

Unlike slide-bar models, the rounded, two-piece jaw on this fifth-wheel trailer hitch inhibits rattle and movement by securely wrapping around your trailer's king pin, resulting in easier hookup and a safer, quieter ride.


Three-Point Indicator System

Get peace of mind with Curt's color-coded lock indicator. Just look at the indicator - either the one on the handle or the one on the hitch itself - to determine whether the jaw is in the correct position to uncouple (red), couple (yellow) or tow (green).


Q24 Color Indicator System

360-Degree Pivot

Curt's unique spherical axial bearing provides a durable pivot point that allows easy, 360-degree movement of the hitch head. This ball joint is designed for smooth, quiet operation with less clunking and chucking.

Truly happy with this product and can't wait to go to work! etrailer sent me everything I requested and the installer had no problems. Everything was packed well in shipping with no problems.



by:

This product is certainly stout. It doesn't seem to have any ability to rock and roll with terrain which concerns me some.

The Curt Q24 fifth wheel hitch has performed well. My use has not uncovered any issues for further concern.



by:

2005 Dodge Quad Cab Dully , Cedar Creek 36 ckts 16k
very nice hitch , shipped relay fast 3 days to east coast, easy to install : had rails from old hitch,
it did come a LITTLE scratched up from shipping . one thing i wish it had more height / it does sit lower than old hitch buy 1 inch. haven't tried pulling yet / will up date latter . hope it pulls as good as it looks.
now no problem for bigger trailer, i hope! maybe a toy hauler?

so far the hitch has performed wonderfully . used it to make a trip down to Florida last fall from Va. to pick up a new landmark, witch had a heaver hitch wt. the new hitch seem to make the trip worry free



by:

I purchased a higher rated (weight) Curt hitch to prevent 'rolling' forward during hard stops. The new hitch far exceeds my trailer weight but I continue to have the problem, although not as often. I had the new hitch professionally installed.

It turned out the Curt hitch was not the problem, it was the pinbox which ultimately failed and was replaced by that manufacturer in June.



by:

I love dealing with Etrailer, unit came in one piece and early......and OMG this hitch is incredible!! 4 bolts and it's in. I hitched up literally in minutes. CURT makes it idiot proof...

Michael

Honestly, this is the best hitch I have ever bought. Hitching up is simple and its definitely a better buy then anything else in its class.



by:

Have not had the opportunity to use the new hitch to pull our RV, but did hook up to the RV to check height and ease of hookup, it's great, very happy with this hitch so far.
Ease of ordering was excellent, received it within 5 days in great condition.

In the last year we have pulled a 16,000 lb Jayco 5th Wheel over 3,200 miles, up and down mountains and across flat lands with no problems. Still easy hookup and no troubles with it latching or in latching. We grease it and re-torque the bolts as per manufacturer recommendation, a little routine preventive maintenance goes a long way. Still very happy with the hitch, and would definitely recommend it, and have several times.



by:

I bought this hitch because I am a firm believer in buy heavier than I need for safety. This hitch has been absolutely wonderful. The fifth wheel pull great with no jarring and the solid feel when attached is comforting. I can easily reach everything I need to set the hitch and lock it. The jaws are very easy to tell if I am completely hooked or not and the lock works great for a quick look to tell if ready. This hitch was very well priced (cheaper than lighter rated models) without being of "cheap" quality. I have enjoyed this hitch very much and thank goodness it breaks down into pieces for removal as it is a very heavy unit.



by:

Got my Curt Q24 finally. A very good, quality, heavy hitch. It was just a little scratched up, in same spots as all others seems to post - do to shipping by UPS. Etrailer did double box it to help, so all in all it wasn't bad. It is definitely a heavy hitch, but being able to quickly break it into pieces (head removes easily) makes it much more manageable to put in and out of the truck. Can't wait for the trailer to get in so I can try out this hitch...
Installed onto Curt rails in a 2006 F350, with no issue. Will be pulling a 18k 43' 5er soon!
Shipping was a bit on the slow side compared to other reviews - took 2 weeks to get it, but luckily my trailer is also delayed so I didn't need it immediately.



by:

We took it to a shop to have it installed. It looks great, and the features to make sure our 5th wheel is securely locked in place give us peace of mind. And it's nice that the rails are made just for our 2016 Ram 3500 long bed. It really is well made and is a brute. Can't wait to get out on the road.



by:

Haven't towed with it yet,but looks like it will be more user friendly than my previous hitch.I had to adjust my rails a little to get it to fit.Shipping speed was excellent. While etrailer wrapped and stapled over the manufacturer box the contents when opened had several places where the paint was missing due to parts rubbing together during shipment.



by:

The Hitch was very good quality very easy to install in the 2018 Dodge Ram Total installation by myself was under an hour I plan on using it to move travel trailers fifth wheels around for people



by:

I’m very happy with the ease of ordering and the information videos that Curt had available before I made my purchase. When I received myQ24 hitch it was great quality and very easy to assemble it also works better than expected.
Thank you etrailer



by:

Hitch was easy to install the fit is perfect & shipping was right on time.



by:

Ordered my Curt 24k 5th wheel hitch on Tuesday, received around 230 Friday, and was installed by 5pm same day ( already had the rails). I am anxious to hook up my Heartland Big Country 3650RL to my 2006 Chevrolet dually and roll down the highway.
The hitch is alI i expected it to be, and it is quite heavy, but managed to get it installed by myself after reading the great installation instructions. As in other posts, slight scratches during shipping due to packing materials used by Curt, not etrailer's fault.
My RV has a tongue weight of 2350 lbs, 14000 overall, and 39'6" lenghth. Expectations are high that this hitch will handle it well! Thanks for the great service



by:

Received my hitch very quickly, two days with free shipping. However, the hitch did arrive with a couple scraps. The company needs to work on the packaging and shipping prep. That being said, I am very happy with the hitch and the company. I called them prior to buying it and they answered all my questions, very helpful. I'd definitely buy another product from them.



by:

Easy to use. Hook up is smooth. The draw handle pulls easily when ready to disconnect. Just be sure to have the weight of the trailer off of the truck before trying to pull the handle. I have found that the handle does not always lock in the open position and occasionally needs to be held open as the truck is driven forward.

Quinton

1/22/2022

Working great. To update about the handle not always locking open: This was due to operator error, I was not properly engaging the latch catch.



by:

Just installed the new hitch and haven’t used it yet, only thing I wish I knew I needed the power accessories to install. I figured that maybe would have came with it. But great product overall.



by:

We had a short bed Ram 2500 and upgraded to a Ram 3500 Dually. We had a Demco Auto slide hitch in the old truck that worked well but I wanted to get back to basics without all the moving parts and noise. This hitch performed beyond my expectations. I couldn't be more happy! And as usual the Etrailer experiance was exceptional! 3 day delivery right to the place I was having it installed and in excellent condition. If only the rest of my life could move so smoothly!!!!!

Well they were awesome but we are done with the toy hauler already!

Hitch works amazing ! I have owned about a dozen different 5th wheel hitches and this one is the easiest to use and tell it 100 locked on the trailer



by:

Package arrived three days early!! So far very impressed have installed in truck but haven't gotten to go anywhere yet towing. Website was very helpful and answered all my prepurchase questions.



by:

Excellent product. It allows you to choose between gooseneck and 5th wheel towing without having to destroy a factory installed gooseneck hitch! So glad I purchased this hitch! I would definitely purchase it again if I needed to!

Jeffery

9/18/2019

Excellent couldn’t be better!!



by:

I received this box four days later than the hitch mount box, but that was due to the shipping company, not E-trailer! I assembled and installed the hitch, yet removed in preparation for the spray-in bed liner. It's easy to assemble and seperate into two more manageable pieces. Can't wait to start hauling the RV!

Les

11/1/2017

Still using and I really like the hitch and other items I purchased a year ago. After installing the Curt fifthwheel hitch, Ive used it several times and I will be using it a bunch over rbe next several weeks. Easy to maintain and use.



by:

Arrived timely in a very well protected carton. Handled shipping better than any other 150 lb item I received in a cardboard box. There are a few small scratches but nothing that some minor touch-up (semi-gloss?) won't take care of. Was able to put it together alone and install in the mounting rails in about 30 minutes. Heavier than my old 15k hitch but not so heavy I can't position it alone. May enlist help when it's time to put it away in the fall.

Hotrod38

4/7/2017

A full season of use and couldnt be happier. This hitch absorbs most highway chuck and is surprisingly quiet.



by:

Very strong hitch. I like that it easily can be taken apart, makes it not so heavy to install. Glad it has grease fittings, should last longer. Positive indication of locking to kingpin. Came within 2 days of placing the order.
Dual jaws give a sense of security.

Ron

4/17/2015

Works well, good workmanship, good materials, good value. I hope to use it for years to come.



by:

Delivery was on time and the hitch was as described. When I opened the box the manufacturer failed to include the mounting hardware. I contacted etrailer customer service and missing items were shipped - service after the sale was excellent.

Mike

I am very pleased with the purchase, the unit is working as I expected.

  • Troubleshooting a Curt Q24 5th Wheel Hitch That is in Between Positions
    From what you are describing it sounds like your Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16245 is out of sync. This is when the jaws are semi-open and interlocked/interlaced with each other. The lock bar is somewhere in between full, retracted position and full, extended position. This configuration means that the movable jaw has become out of time with the second fixed jaw. You will want to inspect that the flip lock is hanging free in its clockwise, rotated position. Pull the lock bar to...

  • Troubleshooting Sticking Jaws on Curt Q24 5th Wheel Hitch C16245
    I am sorry to hear about your problem with your Curt Q24 5th wheel hitch # C16245. With a trailer as large and heavy as a 42-foot Montana it will be critical to have the trailer and truck on level ground and in a straight line with each other for all coupling and uncoupling processes. Any tension between the king pin and the hitch's jaw will make it difficult for the jaw mechanism to open to release the king pin. The Q24 has a color indicator system that tells you the status of the hitch,...

  • Why Rotating Pin Box Like Sidewinder is Not Compatible With Curt Q Series 5th Wheel Hitches
    Yes. The Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 24,000 lbs # C16245 and other Curt Q series 5th wheel hitches have a 360 degree axial bearing so it won't allow the pivot point of the Sidewinder pin box to be the only moving component. With another moving part, the Sidewinder will not work as it needs to being firm at the kingpin and only rotate at the turret of the pin box. If you want a similar hitch that will work with a Sidewinder, I recommend the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer...

  • 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for a 2013 Ram 3500 with OEM Factory 5th Wheel Prep Package
    The first thing to consider is whether or not an aftermarket gooseneck trailer hitch is compatible with the OEM underbed 5th wheel package on your 2013 Ram 3500. I know that there are currently no 5th wheel hitches that fit directly into the Dodge OEM prep package and to install an aftermarket gooseneck you will most likely have to remove the underbed brackets for the 5th wheel prep package so they will not interfere with the gooseneck brackets. There is more than one B and W companion...

  • How Does Jaw Mechanism of Curt Q24 Hitch Open and Lock
    The handle/release design of the Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16245 is supposed to work like a ratchet almost. You pull out and release once and the handle should show yellow which means the jaws are unlocked and ready to accept a king pin. Once a king pin passes through the jaws it will lock into place and the handle will show green meaning you are safe to tow. Then to release it you pull the handle and release it and the jaws will unlock, the handle will show the color red, and...

  • Problem with Curt 5th Wheel Hitch Not Easily Releasing Pin To Disconnect
    I reached out to my contact at Curt and walked him through your issue and process to disconnect. He said the issue sounds like you are taking too much weight off of the hitch. The hitch needs a certain amount of weight on it to function correctly and release the lower portion of the king pin. You may want to try a little more weight on the hitch and a bit less on the jacks. He also recommended that when unhitched to check the connection and disconnection with either a plastic king...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 Towing a King of the Road 5th Wheel 20000 lbs
    We have a couple options for you, but they are going to depend on a few factors. If the dry weight of your 37 ft King of the Road Fifth Wheel Trailer is 20,000 lbs, then you will want to verify the gross trailer weight, GTW, of your trailer when fully loaded. Knowing the GTW will allow us to choose a hitch that will support your trailer. The highest weight capacity for a hitch that we offer is 24,000 lbs GTW. If your 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 has a 6 ft bed, then I would recommend the Curt...

  • Gooseneck Hitch and Adapter Needed for Curt Q24 5th Wheel Hitch on a 2019 Ford F-350 Dually
    I do have a solution for you, but the Curt X5 # C16210 is designed for Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Trailer Hitches which have an existing slide bar that locks the gooseneck hitch ball in place. Since the Curt Gooseneck Hitch # C60700 is designed for a self-locking hitch ball, like part # C60629, it means that the Curt gooseneck isn't compatible with the X5. The only gooseneck hitch that fits your 2019 Ford F-350 Dually that you can use with an adapter is the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck...

  • Compatibility of Anderson AM3200 Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection w/ Lippert Turning Point Pin Box
    The Andersen # AM3200 Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection isn't compatible with the Lippert Turning Point (I'm assuming you're speaking of the Turning Point), so the two would not be compatible. For a rotating pin box-equipped fifth wheel, your best bet would be to install a traditional 5th wheel hitch in your truck. If your truck has the OEM puck system, I'd recommend the Curt A20, part # C16034 or # C16245 along with the # BWRVK2402 rail/bracket kit if the truck doesn't have the puck mounting...

  • 5th Wheel Hitch Recommendation Between the Curt Q24 Hitch and the Reese Select Plus 20K Hitch
    The Curt Q24 Fifth Wheel Hitch, # C16245, and Reese M5 Fifth Wheel Hitch, # RP30928, will provide more durability and less movement than your Reese 15K hitch. Keep in mind there should be a certain amount of movement of the king pin in the jaw. If the jaw was tight against the king pin, then the jaws could bind or break when turning. For your situation I would recommend the Curt Q24 Hitch because it uses a 2-jaw locking system that provides 360-degree contact to the king pin. It also...

  • Recommended Fifth Wheel System For 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 For Full Bed Access When Not towing

The hitch that would work well with this is the Curt Q24, part # C16245. To get this system to work together, you will need the adapter, part # RP30154. This allows you to be able to use the Curt hitch with the underbed rail kit. Since you do not seem to like the design of the B&W hitch, this is the system I would go with.

    A sliding 5th wheel hitch is usually required only for short bed trucks to provide better low-speed turning clearance.

The linked page will show you the 5th wheel fixed hitches and installation kits offered for your 2004 Ford F-350 long bed.

    I'd be happy to help you with that. For the underbed rail system, you'd use the Reese # RP30868. The # RP30061 you'd looked at is for the previous generation truck, and wouldn't work on your 2015 Sierra 3500. The puck layout is the same as what Ford uses, so you can just choose a Curt 5th wheel hitch for the Ford puck system and it'll work great.

  • Is a Single Rear-Wheel or Dually Rear-Wheel Truck Better for Towing a 5th Wheel Trailer
    If you have the option I would definitely go with a dually. Higher capacity, less stress on the vehicle; the only down side is it is a larger truck. But provided that the truck you choose has the capacity for the trailer then single rear or dually rear would be fine. I definitely recommend a long bed because short bed trucks will require additional equipment to be able to make tight turns. Otherwise you are right on the money looking at 1-ton diesels.
