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.
R24 Slider
Most often used on trucks with 6' and 6-1/2' beds, this roller helps to eliminate clearance problems during slow-speed turns. When you are towing a fifth-wheel trailer, your hitch must be situated on the cab side of your truck's rear axle. However, at slow speeds you can use a roller to slide the fifth-wheel hitch (and the trailer) toward your truck's tailgate and past the rear axle, creating enough space between the cab of your truck and the trailer to permit less-restricted turning.
Non-Binding Design
The round-tube design of this slider allows for relatively uninhibited movement of your fifth-wheel hitch. Because your hitch can glide smoothly and easily along the rods, there is less chance of binding.
With straight, flat contact points, as found with square-tube sliders, tension can build between the slider and the hitch when your truck and trailer are somewhat out of line or are on uneven ground. As a result, it can be difficult to properly activate the slider when your truck and trailer are not in a straight line.
With a round-tube slider, there is more give between the contacting surfaces, allowing better mobility of the hitch system. Fewer corners means less tension buildup. Activating a round-tube slider is easier, and operation as a whole is smoother.

Is this right for you? Product Expert Kathleen M says:
Yes, if you:
Have a third brake light camera to see the color-coded latch indicators so you don't have to get in and out of your truck when hooking up
Tow often or for long treks over rough roads where you need something that will absorb road shock
No, if you:
Have a trailer with a rotating pin box, such as the Reese Sidewinder, Reese Revolution, or 5th Airborne Sidewinder
Carry cargo in your truck bed often and need a hitch that's easy to move
Would rather have an American-made hitch

2019 Chevrolet Silverado
I had originally ordered a 11604/11607 under bed gooseneck mount for my 2019 Silverado 2500HD, but found out during initial parts fitting that an under bed rib had been welded out of position on my truck, and the side rail brackets would not fit because of it. A phone call to Curt verified my finding and they suggested going to an in bed rail mount as an alternative. I called etrailer and spoke with Bailey B about my situation and she was very quick to understand what I needed to do. She helped me place an order for a 16411/16204 in bed rail mount kit. She then emailed me instructions and UPS shipping labels so I could return the parts I could not use. I received my new kit yesterday (one day early!!) and a quick look tells me I now have what I need. Bailey B was super helpful, and the exchange process was above and beyond my expectations. Count on me for future purchases. I had hand surgery a few days ago so it will be a while before I can install this hitch rail kit. If I can edit this review then, I'll add pictures. In the meantime, I'm going to have a spray in bed liner done and I'll be ready to go. Thanks again Bailey and etrailer!1529159

Fantastic! I was able to install the entire kit by myself as soon as my hand allowed me to. Everything went together as it was supposed to. Ive only been able to tow my 5er a few times, but getting hitched up and unhitched is a breeze, even when the truck isnt straight on to the trailer. The hitch is totally silent, with no chucking at all. I was able to set it up so I had good cab clearance that I dont need to use the Turning Point feature on my pin box. I highly recommend this hitch.

Just installed my curt 5th wheel kit,all materials are heavy duty and comes with all hardware needed. Installation is straightforward for the average DIY . The only challenge in the installation of the kit is getting the right tool to torque the rail bolts. My truck is a 2013 chevy Silverado 2500HD. I would recommend this kit.1626890
I feel that the installation video simplifies the process to much. Attaching the frame plates with the bolt fish wire was more difficult than the video showed. I am to blame for the first bolt. We started on the left side and fished the back bolt first. I did not check to see if the wire would go through both plate and bolt once threaded onto the bolt. I just placed the plate on the wire and then threaded the bolt onto the wire and pulled or tried to pull it through the frame hole. The wire was "bunched" on part of the bolt and would not feed through the frame and the plate holes. I stretched the wire to the point I thought I was going to lose the bolt in the frame. We ended up getting the bolt back out and using the other fish wire to feed this bolt through. We made sure we could fit both the plate and bolt through together before fishing it through the frame. Once we did one the other three went a lot easier but we only had one fish wire to use. I had watched the installation video several times and played it while we were working. The video is good but it makes the process seem to easy. I would like to see the video have more details about this process and have 4 fish wire instead of 2 or tell people you may want to have two more on hand for piece of mind.438361

Last summer I made purchase of the A16 sliding 5th wheel hitch along with rails.the install took about six hours working by myself .following the enclosed instructions is important and saves time if you do it exactly as shown.I was very pleased with the delivery,it was prompt and no charge.that was great.the hitch is a slider which I think is important on a shortbed,could save damage to truck during maneuvers.my experience with etrailer has been really good and would recommend this company to anybody shopping for trailering equipment634294
Excellent product, perfect fit for my vehicle, arrived a couple days before it was supposed to. I did not want an "aftermarket" look, which is why I ordered a kit designed specifically for my vehicle. I did take the time to remove the heat shield to gain better access to the installation bolts. The biggest challenge was installing and tightening the bolts that go through the bed; there is not a lot of room between the trucks frame and the bed of the truck. The most challenging bolts were the ones on the driver side closest to the cab of the truck due to the placement of the gas tank. Trailer wiring was plug-and-play, hardest part was drilling the 2" hole in the side of my truck bed.486736
Whew! Installing that Rail kit about kicked my butt! The reason why is all the trips I made from underneath the truck and back. The Rail kit is a very high Quality Product from Curt that fits perfectly in the bed of my truck. The hardware is also high quality. One downside is there isn't a lot of room to work as the gas tank on one side and the exhaust on the other side prevents easy access (gas tank in particular). It was very hard to get a wrench on the nuts unless you used a Gearwrench. After the install they are torqued to 110 ft-lb. The only way to do that was to put a 1 inch adapter on the torque wrench then put that in the open end of the gearwrench in the adapter. Then using a formula on line, convert that to what you have to ft-lb. Anyway It was worth it because I know I have a good product that will stand the test of time. 402242
This is the second one of these that I ordered from e trailer. The first one I got at the same time as the fifth wheel hitch. I install on my 2015 Silverado 2500HD. I traded that Silverado for a 2018 Silverado 3500 Z71. Kept the hitch had to leave the rails. Great product and not bad to install. Took about 2 hours. If I trade again, I will get third.678884
The products have worked flawlessly no problems and thank you for checking back with me its nice when a company cares about there costumers. Next time I need any trailer products I will definitely be contacting etrailer.

Overall very happy with my Curt 5th wheel 24k hitch. I’m happy it came in pieces because of the weight totally assembled. Release spring for the slide is pretty stiff but I wouldn’t want it disengaging while driving down the road. Thanks for all your help Justin and your prompt service.1039717

Box was delivered with a little damage and the contents of the hardware bag was loose in the box. After going through the parts list and realizing I was missing 1 block, we contacted etrailer and they shipped the replacement part immediately, we got it within 3 or 4 days. Install was a breeze after watching the video and fishing the bolts and blocks in the frame. Only took a couple hours total.874656
Received the product yesterday and began my install. Spent a few minutes looking the directions over, which are pretty good to me at least. Took about 40 minutes due to the fish holes on the frame being difficult but over all a good product. I didn't think to get any pictures.1751182
by: Sean12/06/2023
Heavy duty and construction seems good. The slider handle will be tuff to use since the bed wall is so close and the spring is strong, not to mention the lack of room once a trailer is on there (possible re-design needed). Also wish it came with a few varying rubber shims that go under the assembly. The ones that came with it wont fit and without anything, it is metal to metal and a little sloppy. Other than that, I think it will work good and last a long time...1699123

Very disappointed with the quality of parts I received from etrailer. I got parts for my 2015 GMC Sierra 2500 they look like they came out of the scratch and dent section. Like I understand that the item is heavy and it’s hard for it to stay prefect in shipping but for the amount paint missing and how beat up the parts are for [XXXX] dollars shocks me. I bought a new with wheel not a used one. This is a few photos of the many more I have hope this helps with your experience.1129352

This is a great product, but the install time estimates are way off. I have been a mechanic in my own shop for 19 years and I didn’t remove the rear wheels or the spare tire (because) it wasn’t necessary on my truck. I have a lift in my shop and it still took me 6 hours to install it! Trying to hold the spacers while trying to get the nuts installed on the 8 outer through the bed bolts was ridiculous! Terrible place to get to, lots of bad words! I’m thinking that buying the custom kit versus the universal was a bad idea, I have installed both and it was no quicker with this kit and it was almost a hundred dollars higher. My install was on a 2013 2500hd. 729381

If you do this yourself, definitely remove the wheel well liners and remove 3 of the 4 bolts holding the heat shield with one loosened to move it out of the way. Top front four nuts are the hardest to get started from under the truck. Start to finish 3 hours. Saved myself $500 for install939091
Bought this rail setup over others because of price and that the profile is smaller than other models out there. Rails only stand 1-1/8" tall. I installed on a 2017 silverado 2500hd with an 8' box. I thought going in this would be an easy installation, but I was wrong, I feel like I had an easier time with the universal rails on my previous pickup. The shape of the brackets that bolt up to the frame make it so you can't get a wrench at the nuts anywhere but the inner side of the frame rails. The rear rail wasn't too bad to torque hardware, but the front rail hardware was a real pain to torque. Be sure to lower the spare tire. The driver side has the gas tank in the way, the passenger side has the heat shield. I found it a little easier when I removed the 1 bolt on the top of the frame holding the heat shield down, it made it so I could reach both hands up there to get the washer and nut on. Would highly recommend having a 3/4" crows foot socket to tighten the nuts that secure the rails down. I was not able to get a socket on them at all (love how the install video shows torquing the easiest nuts). I also had trouble bolting the brackets to the frame with the existing threaded holes (no fault of the manufacturer, the threads were just gunked up). The bolts that secure them are M16 (install video says 14), may want to have a tap that size on standby incase those threads are gunked up. I wish I would have spent the extra money on the Reese outboard rails (didn't because of the extra money and the large profile of the rails).1544633

You should be lubricating your Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R24 Slider # C16566 through all four seasons. Doing this will also give you the opportunity to inspect your hitch 4 times a year as well.
The jaw pin and the lower bearing grease fitting will receive grease through the grease fitting.
You can use the LubriMatic Mini Grease Gun Kit with Multi-Purpose Grease # L30132 to do this.
The spiral cam and the skid plate will get grease like # L11316 applied to the surface. view full answer...
From your picture I can tell your 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 is a short bed so you'll need a slider hitch to allow you the clearance needed to make tight turns. Since car haulers can be pretty heavy you'll want a higher rated hitch like the Curt Q25 part # C16566 which has a 25k capacity.
For a rail kit to install in the bed of your truck you'll want a custom install kit like the part # C16420-204 which will install in less time than a universal kit and will minimize drilling.

We do offer slider kits for Reese hitches like the Reese Square Tube Slider for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30048 that works with 15K, 16K, or 20K Reese 5th wheel hitches.
However, unfortunately your Reese 22K Fifth Wheel Hitch # 30034 is not a compatible hitch for these sliders.
If you need a slider hitch for your Silverado, I recommend the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch # DM8550037 with the rail kit # DM8551010. This awesome hitch is capable of towing a maximum of 21,000 view full answer...
For a Reese 16K sliding 5th wheel hitch and the install bracket/rail kit, you could go with the # C95DR 16K sliding 5th wheel hitch and the # RP56015-53 install kit.
However, I'd recommend the Curt A16 hitch, part # C16521 over what Reese offers. Unlike the Reese hitch, the Curt A16 offers a torsion articulating system for the hitch head which helps isolate the tow vehicle from road shock and noise. The interlocking hitch jaws hold the king pin much more tightly around its circumference view full answer...
Hey Alex, so the Curt Q Series of fifth wheel hitches aren't known for terrible chucking, but I am not shocked to hear that you are experiencing it. Especially with a slider hitch as they are more prone to chucking due to more moving parts.
Going to a fixed hitch with a tighter jaw design is your best option. This will do the best job at eliminating as much of the chucking as possible. The B and W Patriot fixed hitch part # BWRVK3255 will make a huge difference and is the hitch I recommend. view full answer...
Yes, the Draw Tite hitch part # 76226 that you referenced does fit your 2023 BMW X4. This only has the hitch opening that hangs below the rear bumper so it's mostly hidden as well. view full answer...
We've got a few options that would work for you.
The B&W Companion with slider, part # BWRVK3775 would be a solid choice. The hitch uses 1 inch thick jaws that hold the king pin in a 360° grip for a superior ride. The slider is manually operated, but the rails that the hitch slides back and forth on are round, instead of the older rectangular bars that liked to bind up if you were parked anywhere that wasn't flatter than a pool table.
This being said, I think you'd be happier with view full answer...
Since we can't ever recommend exceeding the towing capacity of a fifth wheel hitch we'd have to recommend a hitch with a higher towing capacity like the Curt Q25 part # C16566 with the Ram OEM Rail kit part # C16022 which has a 24k capacity. view full answer...
The highest capacity slider hitch solution for your 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 short bed with the OEM rail kit is the Curt Q25 slider part # C16566 and the rail kit adapter part # C88KR which would have a 24k towing capacity. view full answer...
If you consider your setup for your travel trailer as a complete system, you already have parts in place on your trailer's suspension, pin box, and airbags on your tow vehicle to help reduce road chatter and chucking. The last item in this system is the 5th wheel hitch itself.
If this is something you wish to explore, I recommend going with a 5th wheel hitch with built-in cushioning like the

In regards to the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R24 Slider part # C16566, there are grease zerks on the head and jaw that need lubricated as well as the skid plate and lock bar on the slider base. These will need to be lubed before each use and again after 1,000 miles per the manual. It is recommended to use black graphite grease for all lubrication, a few pumps should be good. There are no service procedures for the slider wheels.

I recommend using a Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R24 Slider # C16566 for transporting 5th wheel RVs with your 2015 Chevrolet Silverado.

The rear portion of the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R24 Slider # C16566 slider base is going to sit just past the center of the rear base rail.

Curt's 24K-rated 5th wheel hitch # C16566 is a slider type that will fit into any industry-standard above-bed 5th wheel base rails from any manufacturer. Since this is a slider hitch is it ideally suited to a short-bed truck application like your 6-3/4-foot bed F-250 where extra clearance is needed to avoid trailer-to-cab contact when making tight turns. Long-bed pickups do not need this slider feature so they can use fixed-type hitches that do not slide. Very short beds (under 6-feet) view full answer...

Only the 3500-series of the 2007 Chevy trucks has a towing capacity up at the 20K+ range you need for a new trailer that weighs 18K dry. Towing capacities vary based on engine, rear axle ratio, cab style, bed length, etc. The online Chevrolet towing guide notes the maximum 5th wheel towing capacity for a 3500 HD with 6.6L Duramax as 23,000-lbs.

The Curt fifth wheel rail kit part # C16411-204 that you referenced is a fit for your 2011 Chevy Silverado 2500HD short bed and the Reese hitch part # RP30047 will fit it, but unless your trailer has a tapered nose designed for short bed clearance you'll need a slider since your bed is short.

There isn't currently an aftermarket puck system available for a 2021 Chevy Silverado 3500 so you would be limited to installing above-bed base rails or a B&W gooseneck hitch and using a Companion 5th wheel hitch for an underbed option.

The Curt Install Kit with Rails, # C16411-204, that you referenced is designed to fit all hitches that are designed to fit industry standard fifth wheel rails. So yes, your Reese 14k hitch will fit this kit.
However, this rail kit isn't designed to fit your 2012 GMC Sierra with a 5-1/2 foot bed, instead you would want the part # RP50064-58. This is a very similar custom install kit that will work on your vehicle.

In order to mount a standard 5th wheel hitch on a truck that already has a B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch installed you are going to want to use the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter part # 16310. The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit part # C16411-204 will not work nor will one like it which is why you need the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter. view full answer...

I have a solution but the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Dodge Ram part # C16411-204 is not a fit for your 2017 Ram 2500.
Instead the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram Truck part # C16427-204 is the correct fitment for your truck.
This will require you to drill 5 hole through your bed for each of the two rails. This is very common in above bed rails. The frame brackets do not require you to drill any holes as it uses holes already existing in the frame. view full answer...
Fifth wheel rail kit manufacturers all state that the weight capacity of their rails like the # C16411-204 is the weight capacity of whatever hitch is installed in them. So what that means for you is that you'd only ever have to worry about the capacity of the hitch you have. view full answer...
The center of a fifth wheel hitch jaw needs to be either directly above the axle center or slightly forward. So either kit still works fine. Having the jaw center slightly forward of the axle helps distribute a small portion of the trailer weight to the front axle as well, but you have to be careful not to go too far forward as that reduces clearance between the cab of the truck and the nose of the trailer. So that's why typically right over the rear axle is used. You don't want to load view full answer...
If you only ever plan to tow your 2017 Montana High Country with the max turn tech nose then you would not need a slider hitch. A stationary hitch would work well and would be preferred since they are lighter weight and have less moving parts which means less movement.
For a set of fifth wheel rails confirmed to fit your truck you would want the part # C16411-204 which will minimize drilling and install time when compared to a universal kit.
For a hitch the Reese M5 part # RP30928 view full answer...
Yes, your Reese slider fifth wheel hitch will fit perfectly into the Curt fifth wheel rail kit part # C16411-204 that you referenced.

For a custom 5th wheel rail kit that fits your 2016 GMC Sierra 2500 I recommend the Curt # C16411-204 which fits both a 6-1/2' bed and an 8' bed. This custom kit keeps you from having to drill into the frame of your Sierra and it provides you with industry standard base rails that your Q5 16525 and R5 roller are compatible with.
If your 2016 Sierra doesn't already have a 7-Way wiring connector in the bed then you may also be interested in the Curt # C56070 to make connecting and disconnecting view full answer...

Fantastic! I was able to install the entire kit by myself as soon as my hand allowed me to. Everything went together as it was supposed to. Ive only been able to tow my 5er a few times, but getting hitched up and unhitched is a breeze, even when the truck isnt straight on to the trailer. The hitch is totally silent, with no chucking at all. I was able to set it up so I had good cab clearance that I dont need to use the Turning Point feature on my pin box. I highly recommend this hitch.
