Heavy-Duty Perfomance in a Lightweight Package
When you think of a fifth-wheel hitch, you probably think of a cumbersome, heavy-duty piece of equipment that sits in your truck bed and stays there because of the tremendous effort it takes to remove it. Well, the Curt CrossWing offers the same rugged performance and heavy-duty hauling power that you'd expect from a fifth-wheel hitch, but it's lightweight enough to be easily moved in and out of your truck. This hitch weighs just 60 lbs, which is 65-percent lighter than a standard hitch. But while it may be lightweight, no sacrifices were made in the quality of its construction. The CrossWing features premium steel and a reinforced head connection point that offers superior strength and reliability for towing loads up to 20,000 lbs.
Fast and Easy Coupling
If you've ever towed a 5th-wheel trailer, you know that the coupling process can be a hassle because of the precision required to ensure a proper connection. You have to painstakingly guide the hitch's pincer-like jaws around a small, cylindrical king pin, which is easier said than done. Coupling can be such a finicky process, that some 5th-wheel hitches even use a color-coded indicator to alert you when you're properly connected.
An improper connection can result in high pinning, which is when the king pin on the trailer looks like it's in the jaws, but it's actually sitting higher than the fifth-wheel hitch. With the CrossWing, high pinning and finicky coupling are things of the past.
This is thanks to the wedge-shaped coupler piece that bolts around your trailer's king pin and remains there, separate from the hitch base. Not only does this further cut down on the weight of the hitch, but it also ensures that you don't get the rattling that occurs when a king pin sits inside of the jaws on a traditional hitch.
When hooking up with the Curt CrossWing you can clearly see when the bolted-on pin box coupler is in place in the hitch base head from the comfort of your truck cab. The contact point of the head is a large, open-faced funnel that makes it easy to guide the coupler into place as you back into it. This funnel-shaped head also allows for fore, aft, and lateral articulation, so you can easily hitch up on uneven terrain.
This already simplified process of coupling with the Curt CrossWing is made even easier when paired with a 3rd-brake-light backup camera. The positioning of the CrossWing and the angle of its head lines up perfectly with this type of backup camera, allowing you to watch the coupler as it glides into place. Once the pin box coupler is nestled within the head channel, all you have to do is lock it into place with the easy-to-reach, ergonomic handle.
Shock Absorbing ShockDrop Technology
The CrossWing features Curt's innovative ShockDrop technology, which is engineered to suppress jerking, jarring, and chucking while you're towing. This durable, polyurethane material sits at the pivot point of the hitch head and absorbs excess shock so that it doesn't transfer from the truck to your trailer or vice versa. The result is increased control and comfort as you tow, as well as less wear and tear on your towing setup.

I am a new 5th wheel owner, who is also a 52yr old female, so I wanted/needed something that I could understand and easy to take out on my own. I just picked up my 5th wheel and my older 2005 dodge 2500 (8' bed) truck was a hard to find a good fit. I completely recommend this hitch. It has enough adjustments for my truck to tow my 5th wheel level and never once did I have to worry about the truck bed or my back window as this keeps everything up and away. To hook it up was just as easy as I could see everything just like the video shows. Very happy with this purchase.

I recently switched to the Crosswing from a Curt Q16 slider hitch. I loved the Q16 other than the weight of it. My loaded trailer weight is around 11,500 pounds. The Crosswing is a very stout hitch, and is extremely easy to hitch and unhitch, even at slight angles. While towing, I have noticed that it is quieter than the Q16 and chucking was nearly eliminated. I have to make a fairly tight turn in my Cul-de-sac, especially if there are cars parked on the street which I always slid the Q16 back while turning. I was worried about this but had no problem making the turn. The truck and trailer were close to a 90 degree angle and I still had over 6 inches between the cab and the front cap (2019 Silverado 2500HD short bed). I would definitely recommend this hitch.

The Help & professionalism of Quinn F @ etrailer.com was outstanding. He confirmed that the product was the best choice for my vehicle & purpose, his personal response & follow through impressed me (including an e-mail letting me know my parts were delivered a couple days early). I will definitely be using Quinn F @ etrailer.com for all my RV related needs.

High quality, heavy duty system. Bolted right in and instructions were easy to follow. I feel good about pulling our camper with this set up. Only issue was shipping, the box was damaged and was missing the pins that were ordered. But customer service quickly got thing fixed and resent.
by: Marlon05/26/2023
Nice well made with thick material. Time would tell how sturdy it is. Easy to install, clear instructions with everything you need for it. (Nuts and bolts).
This is my second mounting kit that I get for my trucks.
by: Wagner,05/03/2024
Great Hitch. Easy to install and frees up a lot of bed space compared to the Pullrite Superglide hitch that I used in the past. Towing a 5th wheel trailer with a short bed truck is no problem with this hitch. The pivot point of the 5th wheel trailer is offset 5 inches behind the rear axle, but the king pin weigh is still directly over the axle. Plenty of clearance between the back of the truck cab and front of trailer during tight turns. The hitch is easy to remove from truck bed when extra space is needed for hauling cargo. The hitch is lite enough so that one person can easily remove and install the hitch. I highly recommend this hitch.
by: Emily 04/02/2024
Absolutely LOVE this hitch. So easy to hook up, and if you are off an inch or so the swivel head on the trailer moves right into place! It’s light enough for me, a 5’4” woman to lift in and out of the truck with ease. Wouldn’t trade this hitch for anything!!!
by: Steve02/23/2024
I purchased the Curt CrossWing Lightweight Fifth Wheel Hitch last year to replace the Curt 20k sliding hitch. The later was stored on a pallet and required that I use extended forks on my tractor to lift it into the bed of my pickup truck. I then had to muscle it in place in order to tow my Keystone Avalanche 343RS fifth wheel trailer.
I sold that trailer and now have a 5th wheel that is lighter by 4000 lbs. and 7 feet shorter. With the Curt CrossWing leightweight 5th wheel hitch, I am able to lift it into the bed myself and secure it to the bed rails in a fraction of the time the other hitch required. The CrossWing hitch has the same tow rating as the heavier hitch. I am glad I made the switch as I am 74 years old and not getting any younger.
The hitch tows like a dream, is easier to hook up to the trailer and is all around easier to use.

2016 Prime Time Crusader Fifth Wheel
This is a great kit from Curt to install your 5th wheel hitch. Installation was not to hard even while working on the ground. Tightening up the frame and rail nuts was a little difficult. You will need an Extra Long 3/4 inch Ratcheting Wrench to get to the ones near the fuel tank. The customer service from etrailer is Exceptional. I was missing a few spacers and bolts because UPS trashed the box but etrailer replaced all the hardware over night. Definitely will be using this company for all future purchases. Thank you!
by: Brian09/18/2022
Super impressed with the Curt Crosswing hitch. It’s light enough for a child to handle. Coupling and uncoupling so far has been extremely easy. Takes up far less space than a traditional sliding 5th wheel.
by: Jacob06/29/2022
Upon delivery the box was a little banged up. Everything was inside was still in good condition. To my time with install to insure proper alignment, the only thing I can say negative about it is, you need 4 additional 3/4 inch washers for the frame bracket bolts that are not included, at least I did! On both sides. In the end it was a rather easy success.

2004 Chevrolet Silverado
2004 Chevy Silverado 2500HD, installed the Custom 5th Wheel Installation kit along with the Q16 Slider Hitch. Product arrived very quickly after ordering. It was shipped in 3 different boxes. One box was a little beat up during shipping, but all of the parts were there and undamaged. I watched the installation video once, then my brother-in-law and I tackled the job which took us about 2 hours. This was not difficult to install other than trying to get the 1/2" bolt through the hole on the driver side of the frame (the frame is boxed there). The included wire guide helped, but you still have to manipulate the bolt into the right position in a very tight spot. Everything turned out to be a perfect fit, no modifications needed. Also, I removed both rear wheels before starting which gave us plenty of working room. I have purchased from etrailer in the past and will continue to use them in the future.

Well built. Some bolts are a bugger to get tightened up but not bad. Didn't remove the heat shield.

I have 4 stars for one reason. The locking handle is too short. I have dually and am 6'4!" And need to use a step platform to reach the lock pin and handle.
by: Jason 11/20/2023
Fantastic hitch that is heavy duty enough for our 5th wheel but still lightweight enough to remove easily. The hookup and disconnect process is also much easier than our previous traditional kingpin 5th wheel sliding setup

Perfect fit and great quality.
by: Jeremiah 09/23/2016
Very strong product I would give five stars except the instructions would not be good for an every day truck owner but the E trailer video is really good the only issue with a long bed is you have to drill 4 holes in the front of the frame two on each side and be aware if you do have a long bed truck you will need a big drillbit for instants I used a 7/8 but the overall product is good shipping was great could not imagine having to install the universal brackets and this kit made it so much easier

- If you're referring to the Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch Connection you'd actually need to reach out to Andersen directly as we don't carry this. That said, Lippert, the trailer frame manufacturer for most new trailers on the road today does not actually endorse this product and it will actually void the warranty if used. That said, we do have a similar type of fifth wheel hitch that won't in the Curt CrossWing Lightweight 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C86JR which uses a funnel style
view full answer... - Does Curt CrossWing Have a Tripod Adapter
- At this point in time (August 2023) Curt doesn't have anything in the works for a tripod to work with the Curt CrossWing # C86JR so you'll need to remove the adapter if you'll be using a tripod like part # UF19-950001 to further stabilize the front of your 5th wheel trailer.

That said, as you mentioned you can move items inside the trailer to the back to lighten the pin weight. This can also be done by adding water to your fresh water tank if it's located further back on the trailer as that would then transfer some of the weigh to the rear and off the pin. That

view full answer... - Recommended 5th Wheel Rails and Hitch for 2002 GMC 2500
- According to the towing guide from the manufacturer that I found online, your truck is rated to tow up to 9,900 lbs total. That means you will be able to tow this trailer, but only with limited additional weight. The maximum loaded weight of the trailer will be too much for your truck to tow, so you will need to stay under the 9,900 lbs loaded capacity giving you just 745 lbs of additional cargo from the unloaded vehicle weight.

If your have Curt rails ( # C16104 or # C16204) then you'll need part # C16400 for a 1500 or part # C16411 for a 2500/3500. If you have different rails I would need to know the exact model in order to find the appropriate brackets.
If you're looking for something else then just take a picture of it and send me it and I'd be happy to look for a replacement.

- Yes, when installing the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit Item # C16418-204, the section of the heat shield on your 2008 GMC Sierra attached to the bottom of the bed does have to be cut out because it would interfere with the center section going in place. The center section, when placed under the bed sits almost up against the bottom of the bed and the heat shield is attached to the hat channels. You would only need to cut out the section where the center section is being installed,

- From my research I found the BD3 fifth wheel hitch you said you have will fit standard rails for a fifth wheel.
I recommend going with the # C16418-204 kit. This will provide a standard base rail setup on your 2001 Silverado.
If you only need an installation kit and no rails for the bed then you can use part # C16418.

- RBW hitches will typically have the same footprint as a Reese hitch so you'll want to verify the connection point spacing to ensure it would fit a standard ISR rail kit. I've attached a diagram below showing the spacing of the rails. For a 1999 Chevy Silverado 2500 you would need the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC # C16418-204. These custom-fit brackets will make installation a million times easier since they'll use the factory holes in the frame instead of having

- The best type of truck to pull a larger 5th wheel trailer such as a 39-foot Jayco is a 1-ton long-bed. Long beds avoid the issue of too little turning clearance and 1-tons will have the power needed to pull a heavy trailer without strain. They also avoid the need for slider hitches which usually require you to get out of the truck to release the slide before making a tight turn in a campground. Trucks with a 6-1/2-foot bed will require you to use a sliding type hitch unless the trailer

- Thanks for reaching out!
To tow a 5th wheel trailer with your 2008 GMC Sierra 2500HD short bed you'll need a base rail kit and the 5th wheel hitch itself. I also recommend picking up wiring like the Pollak # PK11893-11932 to install in the bed of your truck for easier access than at the bumper.
For base rails I recommend the Curt Custom Install Kit # C16418-204 because the brackets line up with holes in the frame of your truck so you won't have to do any drilling into your frame which
