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.

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: Billy 03/11/2024
Does what it is supposed to do. I’ve pulled my 5th well 4000 miles with no problems since I installed it. Very happy with the product.
However, Installing it is no easy task. Every truck is slightly different, and Directions are vague but You-Tube videos help. Swivels and various lengths of extensions are necessary and even then getting a torque wrench on the bolts is tricky. Drilling is required as well as a step bit. Final alignment is very important. If you are not mechanically inclined and patient, you might consider getting it professionally installed.

2021 Ram 2500
Seems like a super high quality kit, but I will disagree with the ease of install. The instructions are super vague. It is quite difficult without putting the truck up on a lift and having several specialized tools. I consider myself sort of an average backyard automotive DIYer and I’ll have to take this in to a shop to finish. I think the page should say installation level medium or moderate.

2021 Ram 2500
Geat sturdy well designed. Pretty simple to install, only downside is on the driver side with the fuel tank. If you have a lift at home it's best to use it. Also recommend using a M12 drill and a right angle impact or equivalent to make the job a bit smoother. Very happy with overall product
by: Glen 05/01/2024
Great product great customer service. Will make my next rv purchase with etrailer.com only issue is the instructions are not very clear.
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.

Great people, great service and great products. Installation went as smooth as one could wish for with no mistakes thanks to the helpful advice given in the videos. Etrailer will be my only source for my trailer and hitch needs. A special thank you to Katherina.

Love my fifth wheel on time delivery
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: Ron 02/27/2024
I haven’t installed yet, but looks to be very good quality and good installation instructions

Before even starting the install I was sure to read the directions a couple of times to make sure this was something I wanted to attempt on my own. I hadn't installed a hitch before but had assumed since it was a custom kit it wouldn't be too difficult. The directions stated that the total install time for the diy'er was 180 mins. I read through and took note of all the tools I was going to need. What I would have REALLY appreciated was a "tools required" list at the top of the instructions. I thought I had all the tools needed but at the very end when you get to the rear rail you need a 7/8" bit for the bottom of the bed support. I advise you have one at the ready. I had to hone it out with my 9/16 which was a giant pain. Everything else went really smooth. On my particular application I had a real hard time torquing the front right bed bolt on the rear rail to spec (110ft-lbs) as the mount for a cross-bar makes it nearly impossible to fit a torque wrench in. (I ended up having to use 3/8" drive extensions to go up inside the bucket and torquing it from the bottom.
Total time:(including a couple of breaks, meltdowns, and a bunch of swearing and a 2yr old hiding dad's parts) 180 mins. Touche' Curt Mfg., touche'...
Experience level of installer: None
This is something that the average person can do. Make sure to watch all the helpful videos here on etrailer.com, read through the directions before starting, and make sure you have all the necessary tools to help ensure your installation goes as smooth as possible.

Missing lots of hardware! Previous reviews say the same, you would think they would fix the problem seeings how it appears to be a well known problem!

I am sorry that it the kit arrived missing hardware. Customer Service will be in touch.
by: Sam Smith04/01/2020
Product was great, installation instructions were well written and easy to follow.
I think after using it for about 5,000 miles of pulling our fifth wheel there must be a better system out that reduces the expected jarring from the movement of the hitch due to needed clearance to use pins.
I might have the hitch welded to the rails or find one that is not removable.
If you have a solid mount hitch, please let me know.

Hi Sam, Thank you for your review! If your truck does not have the OEM gooseneck package, then I would recommend getting the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, part BWRVK3500-5W and Part BWGNRK1384 . This setup will give you a much more solid connection to your truck and should help eliminate the jarring you are talking about.

Great service and very helpful finding the right part thanks Brandon
by: T Purdy05/30/2019
Haven't had a chance to use the hitch yet but I got it installed without too much trouble. It took about 4 hours to install, the frame mounting brackets and rails, at a leisurely pace. The unit seems to be very sturdy and it is certainly built heavy. I'm looking forward to testing it out soon.
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!

the no drill kit was just that,no drilling except the bed and that was not too bad. I would reccomend this kit to any one installing rail for a hitch.....
by: Tommy 05/01/2023
Everything was heavy duty and well made. The order was shipped and delivered quickly. I had the Camper dealership install the rails in my old truck so I didn't know exactly what to expect. The installation is a little more detailed than what you see in the video but that is always to be expected. it is manageable if you are a DIY'er and it helps a lot to have a second set of hands. The rails mount directly to the frame with the included hardware.

by: Rich R12/17/2020
Took about 5 hours to install but fits great using factory holes. Take your time lining up bracket before drilling. Only issue so far paint did flake and rust where hitch locks into bed rails. Will need ocassional sanding and touch up.

Little bit of rust forming around slots where Andersen mounts to rail Other than that, working well.
by: Michael08/27/2022
Works great and easy install. The kit had the wrong nuts sent but curt sent me the right ones. It needed castle nuts and they included nuts and lock washers making the bolts to short. They did not know why but it was through Covid supply issues. Had great service through both teams. Thanks.

Do you have a question about this Fifth Wheel Hitch?
- Correct Curt Q25 5th Wheel Slider Hitch for 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500
- Yes, the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16566 will be an excellent option for a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 when used with the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit part # C16411-204 which is a drill free kit (frame only). 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.
view full answer... - 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.
view full answer... - Can Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch have it's Weight Capacity Exceeded
- 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... - 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.

view full answer... - 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
view full answer... - Is Ram M25 5th Wheel Hitch the Same as Curt Q25 5th Wheel Hitch
- Close, the Ram M25 is the same as the Curt Q25 hitch. If that's the style you're wanting then we have the Q25 in 2 different configurations depending on the bed length of your 2018 Ram 3500:
6-1/2' Bed
Curt Q25 Slider - # C16566
Adapter Rails - # C29BR
8' Bed
Curt Q25 Fixed - # C16049
We recommend using the slider over the fixed for the short beds so that you know you have enough clearance between your truck cab and your trailer during tight turning situations.

- Yes, the installation kit that you current have for the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch 30051 will also work with the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16566. The kit is standardized so you can use any above bed rail mounted fifth wheel hitch without any modifications.
view full answer... - 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.
view full answer... - 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)
view full answer... - 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.
view full answer... - Are Mopar M25 Fifth Wheel Hitches Compatible With Reese Sidewinder Pin Boxes
- Your Mopar M25 hitch is actually a Curt A-25 hitch and would be compatible with your Sidewinder pin box, you'd just need to use wedge kit # C16992 to lock the king pin into the jaws of the hitch. If your new Ram has an 8 ' bed and you no longer need the extra clearance then you can lockout the Sidewinder by installing two lockout bolts in the rear of the pin box.
If you no longer have the bolts you can pick up two 3/4 inch Grade 5 bolts along with some conical washers and nuts from

- 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.

- 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... - Curt Slider R24 Slider Base Placement Dimensions To Base Rails
- 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. The front of the slider base, which could possibly interfere with the toolbox is going to sit roughly 7-1/2" past the center of the front base rail.
Rear Base Rail = Towards the cab of the truck.
Front Base Rail = Towards the tailgate of the truck.
I've attached some photos below to help show these dimensions as well.

- According to my research the Weather Guard 126-5-02 is 20-1/4" from the back of your 2016 Ram 2500's cab to the front of the toolbox though please be sure to measure to verify this.
Then, to figure out if you will have the clearance, what you can do is use the attached diagram of the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram Truck # C16427-204. You will notice with an 8 foot bed on a Dodge Ram 2500 there will be a dimension of 55-7/8" from the front rail (closest to the cab)
view full answer... - Recommended Curt 5th Wheel Hitch Mounting Bracket/Rail Kit for 2015 Ram 2500 Short Bed
- For the 2015 Ram 2500 without the OEM prep package, you'll want to use the Curt # C16427-204 rail/mounting bracket kit for a carbide finish or # C16427-104 for a gloss finish. For the 2015 model year, the # C16426-104 fits the 3500 model only.
If you haven't yet decided on a hitch, I'd highly recommend the Curt A series, due to its interlocking jaw that holds the king pin very tightly for great ride quality. The A series slider is available in a 16K version as part
