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.


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.

Showed up just in time to install and cross a few states to pick up our 1st new 5th wheel. Easy installation and showed up a few days early.



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.

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: 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.



by: Keagan09/11/2022

This kit is perfect! Comes with everything you need with easy to install instructions. I’d recommend this and other etrailer products. They match all factory specs. Simple and easy

Love my fifth wheel on time delivery



by: Jim05/17/2021

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.

THE Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R24 Slider - Dual Jaw - 24,000 lbs. WAS EASY TO ORDER AND CAME PROMPLTY. INSTRUCTIONS WERE VERY EASY TO READ WHICH MADE INSTALLATION SIMPLE AND EASY.



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...



by: Austin 02/14/2024

Had an issue with my bank denying my order of two of the same items. Talked to Adam with customer service and he was fantastic. He got everything straightened out and received my order in less than two days

Great product, fits like a glove



by: Brian 04/10/2024

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

Update I have probably put about 5000 miles of towing With this kit I have not had an issue with it still looks good no rust all the bolts are still tight



by: David05/20/2023

Easy install,great product



by: Paul01/22/2019

Three concerns/issues. One, is that my truck sits so high up in the air, (Dodge Power Wagon) that when I was hauling the trailer I had so many issues with swaying. If you tow behind is not fairly level this will happen. It took a long time to figure this out. Might want to pass this along to other customers

Two. Should the white disc go between the hitch and the tow behind as a protective disc?

Three. on pull behinds there are chains or cables in the event that the trailer unhooks from the hitch ball. There are no safety cables or chains for a fifth wheel. How come? Just inquiring.



by: Dennis08/19/2020

Like most customers the box was in really bad shape when it arrived. Everything was still together and not damaged. Received 2 of 3 boxes, contacted customer service since I needed the rail system for the rest of the assembly to mount on and they promised the rails would arrive the next day. I'm trusting they will get here. The Curt fifth wheel slider hitch is built substantially well and is impressive, cannot wait to hook up!



by: Jeff M.06/23/2014
2005 GMC Sierra

I wish I could give two ratings for this kit, one for quality of product, and one for quality of fit and instruction. The product quality, once it is installed is very nice and heavy duty.
The instructions, and the fit on my 2005 GMC one ton dually leave a lot to be desired. They say it should take about 90 minutes to install. Plan on about 8 hours if you don't have a lift, and plan on drilling 3/4 inch holes in the frame rails. You better have access to a compressor, cut off wheel, 1/2 inch impact gun, 1/2 inch drill motor and 3/4 drill or reamer. This is NOT for the average "weekend warrior" with a small set of hand tools to install.

by: James07/04/2020

Just received this and haven't installed it yet. I plan to add it to my truck in about 2 weeks. This is exactly the same as my last truck which was a perfect fit. It also worked great pulling my 35-foot fifth wheel RV. I look forward to the same quality as before, perfection.

Very satisfied with the 5th wheel hitch and the kit I received to install onto my 2002 GMC Sierra. The online videos really helped I will recommend this set up to anyone I know who is considering a 5th wheel tow package



by: Kenton 06/03/2023

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.



by: Steven 09/07/2021

The installation kit had everything I needed & fit perfectly as it should have. I would have given a five star rating but neither the instructions nor the video mentioned lowering the gas tank which was neccessary on my 2009 Chevy dually with the 35 gal tank. Aside from that the install went smoothly. I would have no problem recommending this kit & etrailer to anyone

  • Fixes For Rough Riding 5th Wheel Trailer If I Have EZ Flex Equalizer And Trailair Air Ride Pin BOx
  • 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 Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R24 Slider - Dual Jaw - 24,000 lbs, part # C16566 Adapter

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch and Rail Kit Recommendation for 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 Short Bed
  • 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.

  • Recommended Curt Sliding Hitch for a 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 W/ A Standard Bed
  • If by "standard" bed you mean a 6-1/2' bed then yes you'd need to use a sliding hitch. Since you're already interested in the Curt Q25 or Q24 hitch I'd recommend going with the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R24 Slider # C16566 with the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch # C88KR. This is the same hitch as the Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # C37FR that you're interested in, but has a sliding base instead of a fixed base.

  • How Often And What Type Of Grease Should Be Used On The Curt Q25 5th Wheel Hitch
  • 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.

  • Recommended Curt Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2024 Chevy SIlverado 2500 w/ the Factory Puck System
  • Since your 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 has the shorter 6-3/4' bed, I recommend the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # C16566. The Q25 Slider has a 24,000 lbs capacity and will give you 12" of travel for making tight turns and backing. Curt's sliding 5th wheel hitches do not mount directly to the puck system so you will need to use the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch item # C88KR. This adapter connects directly to the pucks in your Silverado's bed and provides an industry standard

This kit uses bolts to secure to the brackets to the frame and the rails to the brackets. I also recommend the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness part # C56070 to complete your setup.

  • Fixed Hitch To Replace Curt Slider that Was Chucking Recommendation
  • 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.

  • Benefits of Using Higher-Rated 5th Wheel Hitch
  • 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)

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.

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

  • 5th Wheel Hitch for 2002 Silverado 2500 HD with 6-1/2-foot Bed
  • 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

  • 5th Wheel Base Rail Kit for 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Short Bed Using Pull-Rite SuperGlide 3300
  • Your Pullrite hitch model 3300 is a type that uses industry-standard above-bed base rails that will accept a compatible 5th wheel hitch from any brand. I recommend a custom-fit install kit since this will reduce drilling requirements and overall installation time. You can use Curt kit # C16418-204 in your 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 short bed. For an in-bed 5th wheel wiring harness you can use kit # C56000 which installs simply by plugging in at your existing 7-way.

  • 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. For your application, I recommend the Curt rail kit #

  • Recommended In-Bed 7-Way Connector For A 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500
  • Chevy lists a Curt wire harness (part number 19352640) on their site but has used Pollak as the standard for many years and would be the same size. The Pollak 5th Wheel / Gooseneck T-Connector with 7-Pole # PK11893-11932 is a confirmed fit for your vehicle and should fit the hole without drilling, if it is in fact for a 7-way connector.

  • Is Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit # C16418-204 Compatible with Draw-Tite Hitch on Sierra
  • Yes, your Draw-Tite 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch attaches to industry-standard, above-bed base rails like the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16418-204 so it will work perfectly.

  • 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,

  • Recommended Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit For 2001 Chevrolet Silverado
  • 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.
