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.

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.
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: Daniel 02/09/2024
The Crosswing hitch arrived promptly from etrailer. The hitch is of good quality and functions well. Etrailer customer service has been great throughout! Highly recommended.
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

Not too hard to install holes lined up. Had to make the hole in the frame toward the front larger. After measuring the rails perfect hole placement to installed the rails. Took about 4 hours total. Very good help from the customer service at etrailer to match up the item and also save me a few dollars.

No issues, no problems
by: Chuck M10/08/2022
Why didn't I do this sooner!. This has been the best investment in quite some time. I am totally impressed with this hitch (and Ram adapters for the puck system). I swapped out a Curt A20, heavy son of gun, but good hitch. Just couldn't use my bed. At 67 years old, hard to remove the thing. This hitch I can lift with one hand. Hitching and unhitching are a breeze. And removal is as simple as 4 levers or 4 pins. We've put over 6000 miles pulling a Grand Design Reflection 320MKS, about 13K loaded. No issues with the hitch at all. I highly recommend this hitch. What a difference.

Put these on my 2006 F250 about a year ago, they have pulled my 10,000 lbs 5th wheel RV like a champ and also a 14,000 lbs skid steer and attachments using the gooseneck adapter like a champ. Only thing that gave out was a tire on the trailer!

Pro: The team at etrailer.com. They are very helpful and know their products. Fast shipping. Good prices. The kit seems to be of good quality.
Con: Had to drill 2 holes into the frame. Was hoping for a no drill custom application. Only 4 bolts total into the frame, but 10 bolts into rails through box. I would have liked more bolts into the frame.
I had wanted to use Reese for my 2006 F-250, but the two kits I wanted were on nationwide back order. I settled for #3, the Curt kit. I couldn't wait.

- I do have some advice and options for you but there isn't anything you can do to increase the payload capacity of your vehicle which is the weight in the bed and pin weight of the trailer while loaded. 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

Since you have a 6-1/2' bed you will not be able to make a full 90 degree turn with the Crosswing. This will not be able to replace a sliding hitch.
If you do not have a sliding hitch I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer

- I can certainly help shed some light on the situation. I also am not aware of any app that calculates turning clearance. If only it were so easy right? If you have the option to purchase a long bed truck, that would be preferred. That way you will never have to worry about clearance. Also, GMC offers an OEM 5th wheel prep package, which would make your life a lot easier. Otherwise you will need to install a rail kit like the # BWRVK2505.

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 might end up being a thing later down the road but as of right now they haven't pursued this as of yet.

- Unfortunately, there currently isn't a 5th wheel tripod stabilizer that's compatible with the head of the Curt CrossWing # C86JR, so you would have to remove the head from your king pin in order to use a stabilizer like the Ultra-Fab 5th Wheel King Pin Tripod Stabilizer # UF19-950001.

This is a true custom kit meaning there is no drilling required to install the frame brackets from the kit. The less drilling the easier the installation and the less time it takes to install.

The # C16448-204 you'd checked out is a fit for 2005-2010 Ford F250, F350 and F450 trucks and wouldn't be compatible with your 2011 model.

- Since 5th wheel rails and your air bags aren't installed in the same place, a custom kit like the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ford # C16448-204 would work fine.
You could also use a universal set, but I wouldn't recommend it since you'd be doing a lot more drilling.

- I do have a mounting bracket option for your SuperGlide 4100 5th wheel hitch, but unfortunately there are no below-bed rails compatible with that hitch.

- The issue with the Air Lift systems, custom 5th wheel brackets, and the 2007 Ford F-350 is that the upper brackets for the Air Lift systems for this truck bolt on in several places and the 5th wheel brackets block them.
You can install an air bag set up though by using a Firestone kit. Use # F2400 for a 4-wheel drive model. The upper brackets for these kits use a large, single bolt that will go through that center hole in the sides of the 5th wheel brackets you have.

- Your Demco FWH24PA 5th wheel hitch is an older model that required specialized rails to be installed on the tow vehicle.
