Secure, 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).
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.

Video Transcript for Curt Fifth Wheel - Fixed Fifth Wheel - C16049 Review
Today we're going to take a look at the Curt Q 25 Dual Jaw fifth wheel trailer hitch for the Ram towing prep package. This has a twenty five thousand pound weight capacity. Now, this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the Dodge Ram and Ram 2500/3500 series trucks with the factory rail kit starting in the year 2013. And this will fit both long and short bed models. Now this hitch has the two jaw locking system which will provide a nice three hundred and sixty degree jaw to kingpin contact.
Because of that it will give you less rattle, more security than the sidebar models. The head itself is sitting on a unique spherical axel bearing and allows easy pivoting of the hitch head. It will give you a smooth three hundred and sixty degree movement, not just front to back or side to side tilting.And it also has built in cushioning to absorb any road shock. The head is also a self aligning head and pivots for simple hookup. The handle is a lockable handle, it'll let you easily secure the handle to the hitch.
Comes with this pinning clip or you can actually even use a padlock if you'd like. Now padlocks we do sell separately. If you need extra security you can put a padlock on there. Now the handle itself is a short throw single handle operation and I'm going to show you in a minute how that operates. Now there are three lube points on this right up here by the head.
They give you easy access grease fittings on the jaws for easy maintenance. There's one right here under the dual jaws and there's an arrow that points to it. There's a zerk fitting. That one is to grease the lower bearing. And then there's one on each side.
Again there's an arrow pointing to each zerk fitting. One on each side. The two on the sides are to grease the jaw pins.Now this hitch does use a three point indicator system right here and it's color coded. And it tells you if the hitch is ready to uncouple, couple or tow just by looking at it and seeing what color is showing. And that lock indicators are visible from the cab. So if the cab is right here you can turn around and look at the handle and it will tell you by the color what position the jaws are in. So what I'm gonna try to do right here is we're gonna try to turn this around, just so you can see the color coded indicator I'm talking about. Let's just spin it all the way around so you can see. There you go. Right here is the color coded indicator. There is a circle and you can see it tells you what the colors mean.Green would be tow, ready to tow. And as you can see it's showing green in there right now. So if you turn around and see the green that means the jaws are completely around the kingpin. You're ready to go. Yellow means coupled. So if it's showing yellow that means the jaws are open ready to be coupled. And red means uncoupled. So if it does show red in there you want to make sure you get out and check to make sure where the problem might be cause you don't want to go anywhere with it showing red. You want it to be showing green to be able to tow.So basically what'll happen . Lets pop the pin and clip off, we'll pop the latch off. And then I'll show you here's that sharp throw single handle operation. You can see as you pull it just like that you hear that both jaws open up and it's showing yellow which means it's ready to be coupled. So both jaws are ready to accept the kingpin. To give you an idea here's a sample of what a kingpin would look like on your pin box. So you'll notice as you're backing in to hookup. As it goes all the way in both jaws close. You'll notice the handles slides over to lock in place. You can see it's showing green which means you're ready to tow. All you have to do is flip this back, put your pin and clip in - that looks the handle in - and then it's all ready to go, just like that.So it's a very quick, easy way just by looking from the cab what color is showing what position the heads are in. Also another thing I want to mention. You'll see the two pins and clips right here. This is to allow you to take the head out of the cross member. So if you pull these clips out, pull these pins out, one person could lift this out of the cross member and you could take the cross member out and then the legs out. So it actually makes it very easy by pieces for one person to remove this hitch from the truck bed. So lets go ahead and spin this back around.Now this does include a plastic lube plate. Get it situated. There we go. Now I have that sitting right here. This plastic lube plate will let your kingpin glide smoothly into the hitch during the hookup. You put this onto your kingpin and as you're hooking up it will help you slide in. And also as it's installed it will give you a nice lubrication between instead of having your pin box on top of your head "metal/metal" contact. This will be between it to eliminate that metal to metal contact. Now there is a four inch hitch height adjustment. Now your hitch height is measured from your bottom of your truck bed to the top of your hitch. You wanna get that as correct as possible because you want your trailer and tow vehicle to be as level as possible.So when you attach the legs . For this video you'll notice I've got everything put together. But when you attach these legs to the cross member there's rows of holes. And by bolting them to whichever hole it'll give you a four inch range of hitch height adjustment. Anywhere from about fourteen inches to eighteen inches. Now the custom feet are designed to mount to your Rams underbed hitch platform. And just to show you how those operate you'll notice there's a pin and clip right here you just pop out. Let's see if we can get it. Pop out the pin and clip just like that. That'll release the lever. You can rotate that lever out ninety degrees. If you notice it rotates the tab right here. There yeah go. This tab will rotate ninety degrees. You'll do that in each corner and once they're open that'll allow you to drop it into the factory underbed rail kit on your vehicle. Once it drops into place rotate it back the ninety degrees. That'll rotate the tab and lock it into place and then you just put your pin and clip right back in there. Just like that to hold that in. And again you'll do that on each corner so it makes it really simple to install into the factory rail kit on your Ram.Now this is made of a sturdy steel construction. It has a nice durable carbine power coat finish. The application again is 2013 and newer Ram trucks with the factory installed towing prep package. Gross towing weight capacity is twenty five thousand pounds. Vertical load limit or pin weight capacity is six thousand two hundred and fifty pounds. Then as I mentioned you have a hitch height adjustment range from fourteen to eighteen inches. Now what I want to do is just show you how this works again from looking from the other side. Right now you see the kingpin in it so you just pull the handle and as you do that it'll release the kingpin from there. You notice the jaws stay open. Again look at the color. It's showing yellow means you're ready to couple.So when you go to do it what you'll do is go ahead an put your . Make sure your lube plate is all the down onto your kingpin and then this will be hooked to your pinbox. And as you're coming in to connect you can see as it goes back in all the way both jaws come around, handle slides in, the lock in place shows green which means you're ready to tow. Flip that up and put your pin and clip right back in place. And that'll lock everything there and you're all ready to get on the road.But that should do it for the review of the Curt Q25 Dual Jaw Fifth Wheel trailer hitch for the Ram Towing Prep package. And it has a twenty five thousand pound weight capacity.

Heavy duty is an understatement for this hitch it is extremely well built. I chose the free shipping since originally I was not in a rush but as normal thing came up I called etrailer customer service and explained my situation they put a rush on the order and it was here in two days great customer care. One tip I would suggest since this hitch is heavy. I assembled it on the shop floor and then placed it in the bed of the truck only to find out that all the pucks were not level and one would not lock down. It was a simple fit of losing the bolts and allowing it to level out then retighten. I could have avoided this extra step by assembling it in the bed of the truck. 396505

Hitch was easy to install. Be sure to assemble in the truck bed, because the hitch is very heavy. The product is very well made, and easy for camper hook up. The color indicators are very helpful. The pucks fit right into my 2017 3500 RAM. 415494

Had a great experience with a great product. So refreshing to see something actual works as advertised. The site said it would fit my truck, be under the rail line and that was exactly the case. It takes about thirty minutes of real work to install. Working alone, it took me an hour - counting all the breaks. The GREEN/RED/YELLOW indicator on the handle makes it simple to know when it's locked, unlocked or ready to lock... Looking forward to hooking up the Toy Hauler. 410979

I really like the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch that I installed on my Ram 3500. Makes hooking up and disconnecting so easy. The solid latching mechanism lets me know when i am locked up or when I am unlatched. How simple can it be to look at the indicator bar and figure out what the red, yellow, or green mean to me. No complaints after a year of using and the bottom line is - Yes, I would buy it again. 617465

Received product 4 days late due to UPS truck breakdown. Lots f scratches on paint especially on edges. Product is not packed in plastic covering inside cardboard. Has styrofoam packing but apparently not enough to prevent rubbing together. Have not yeast ass mbled it because I intend to mask off and apply paint and clear coat to cover scratches and apply an extra coat to edges. Otherwise this would be a rust bucket in a couple of months in the Pacific Northwest weather. Will update after assembl8ng and usage. 616135

Product arrived the day after I ordered it. I now have it installed but have not used it yet. I feel it is a quality piece of equipment. Pretty heavy but needs to be for the load it will carry. A winch from the ceiling may be best if you want to remove often. None issue for me as I have a tractor with pallet forks. Great product so far. 608711

Arrived on time. Product is great and was easy to install. Like this new hitch as it comes in two parts so we did not need an extra person to help lift it. Husband at age 64 was able to handle on his own. Fits nicely under his truck tonneau cover with 1/2 clearance. Price was reasonable is why we shopped on line. Came by UPS with tracking, liked that feature also with this more of an expensive item. It was placed in 2016 Dodge Ram 2500. Liked that it also came with a white disk like plastic guard that goes between the hitch and 5th wheel attachments. That was a nice suprise and did not have to purchase that seperately. Thank you for customer care on that feature. All attachments needed to install where on point. No stress from start to finish. Thank you etrailer.com 482873

I am very happy with this 5th wheel hitch and etrailer Corporation. I originally had ordered a different hitch but was advised that there was a back order on that particular hitch so after contacting etrailer and speaking with Pat C we were able to work out a deal on the Q25 hitch. I have not gotten to tow with it yet but have installed it in my truck. This hitch is very heavy duty and you will probably need some assistance putting it together but with that said I am confident that this hitch will do the job I need it to do. I am very pleased with the customer service of etrailer and the quick delivery. I will definitely do business with them again. 452638

This is a very well made hitch.It waas easy to assemble and install. I havent used it yet but can't see any reason it wont preform as it should. It has metric bolts, I would have prefered sae bolts as I have a better selection of sae tools. I wish it had a lifetime warrantee bet it is only 10 years. The hitch was shipped fast and arrived quickly and when they said it would. Thank you Etrailer. 448824

Awesome hitch, very heavy duty. Customer service with etrailer is great. Contacted me keeping me updated on the status of the hitch even when on back order. I recommend them 100%. Lowest price around and free shipping. This hitch is the exact same one you can order from Mopar except it would say Ram on it. If you want to save money use etrailer. Retail from Mopar is $1200 plus you pay shipping. 422147

Ask the Experts about this Curt Fifth Wheel
Do you have a question about this Fifth Wheel?
- Differences Between the Curt A25 and Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for a 2017 Ram 3500
- The Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16046 and the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16049 are both a confirmed fit for your 2017 Ram 3500. The Curt A25 hitch is the newer version of the Curt Q25 hitch which features a stronger head unit made of a more durable material in addition to an easier removal process. The Q25 requires two pins to be pulled in order to remove the head from the legs whereas the A25 only requires one pin to be removed to separate the head from the legs....
view full answer... - All 5th Wheel Hitch Options for Factory RAM Towing Prep Package
- There are several 5th wheel hitches that will fit the factory RAM towing prep package hole pattern. I'll list out the options we offer below along with a few recommendations. The article you found was likely an old article. RAM sort of botched the release of their OEM 5th wheel package back in 2012/2013 and they started selling trucks with the factory mounting kit before a hitch was actually designed and released. The trucks were sold for about 6 months before a hitch was actually released....

view full answer... - Truck Recommendation for Towing a 20,000 Pound 5th Wheel Trailer
- What I recommend is any of the big 3 1-ton trucks that have a long bed and a factory 5th wheel prep package. This will limit the amount of equipment you will need to buy in order to tow a 5th wheel trailer and the trucks with the factory tow packages will also have the upgraded equipment, for the most part, for greater towing capacities compared to ones without tow packages.
Right now Ford and Ram are ruling the roost. I have not been all that impressed with the Fords so I would lean...
view full answer... - Difference Between Curt A25 and Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches for 2018 Ram 3500
- The Curt A25 # C16046 and Q25 # C16049 are both excellent 5th wheel hitches however there are a few upgrades on the newer Curt A25 # C16049 that make it the superior hitch and my personal recommendation.
The primary difference between the two models is with the head. The Curt A25 features a stronger head unit with better materials that's going to hold up better over time. The jaws have also been upgraded to provide a more secure connection with the trailer and allow for a smoother ride....
view full answer... - Can a Reese Sidewinder be Used with a Curt Q25 5th Wheel Hitch
- The information that you have received about the Curt Q25 # C16049 not being compatible with a Reese Sidewinder, like your part # RP61411, is true. Adding too many pivot points to any towing setup can be dangerous and result in damaging scenarios. I recommend getting a 5th wheel hitch that is compatible with your Sidewinder and selling your Q25 to help offset the cost.
Since the Sidewinder that you will be using is rated for 19,000 lbs I recommend using the Reese Select Plus 20K # RP30081...

- The height adjustability for the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package # C16049 that you have installed in the bed of your truck is 14 to 18 inches. The height you want to use is the height that allows your trailer to set as level as possible when loaded as well as still gives you at least 6 inches of clearance from the trailer overhang to the bed rails. I can't tell you which setting will work since I don't know the height of your truck bed relative to the pin box...

view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Height for Clearance Between Bed Rails and Underside of Trailer
- It sounds to me like you're right about your trailer not sitting level. And you'll have about 7 inches of clearance between the truck's bed rails and the underside of your trailer. If you go with a hitch that sits lower, like the Curt # C16049 a minimum height of 14 inches, you still can only gain about an inch before you start to sacrifice clearance because you'll want about 6 inches.
Unfortunately, there isn't a great option for you to have your trailer level and keep the trailer...
