• Solution for Curt Q20 Fifth Wheel Hitch with Loud Clunking from Jaws
  
• Since the jaws of your Q20 can't be adjusted or replaced your best solution is going to be a new hitch like with the Curt A20 part # C16140 which is the newer version of what you have now which has a much tighter jaw design that will be quieter and last longer. Instead of the two jaw pieces coming together and just touching each other in the middle the A20 jaw has two pieces that lock together.

• Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation to Use with Curt Turning Point King Pin 2021 Ford F-250
  
• Hey Timothy, basically almost every hitch ASIDE from the Q series Curt hitches like the part # C16130 that you referenced can be used with the Curt Turning Point pin boxes. That's actually one of the reasons Curt updated that line of hitch with the A series. So like the A25 part # C16036 would be a really great option if your 2021 Ford F-250 has the OEM prep package or the part # C77PV for if you do not have the prep package. With either of these you'd need the correct wedge which we

• Comparing the Curt Q20 and the Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitches.
  
• As far as height adjustability and weight capacities the Curt Q20 # C16130 and the Curt A20 # C16140 are identical. They both have a Gross Towing Weight of 20,000 lbs, a Vertical Load Limit of 5,000 lbs, and a height range of 13-17 inches. When it comes to choosing which one is better, even though they are both excellent choices, I recommend going with the A20 because it has more features. Right off the bat the A20 has interlocking jaws to secure your king pin as opposed to the Q20 jaw

• Where Does Curt Q20 Fifth Wheel Hitch Have it's Grease Fittings
  
• For the Curt Q20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16130, Curt does recommend that "black graphite grease" be used for the jaw before initial use and every 1,000 miles thereafter. Black graphite grease can usually be obtained at a local auto parts or hardware store and will probably just be labeled as "graphite grease." You can use the grease fitting that is centered in the cast base plate to grease the lower bearing assembly. The fitting is visible while looking down through the jaws in their

• Recommended 5th Wheel Base Rails for a 2024 GMC Sierra 3500
  
• To add a set of 5th wheel rails to your 2024 GMC Sierra 3500, I recommend the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails item # BWRVK2505.

• Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500
  
• I would be happy to help you. There are two big differences in options for towing a 5th wheel trailer with your 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500.

• Will Curt Q20 Work With Lippert Turning Point Pin Box
  
• There is a great option for a Curt 5th wheel hitch you can use with your Lippert Turning Point pin box, but the Curt Q20 Fifth Wheel Hitch # C16130 is not compatible. The reason is the head of the Q20 has what is called a "spherical axial bearing" which is really a fancy way of saying it pivots 360 degrees. This means it is not stable enough to work with a rotating pin box such as the Turning Point or a Sidewinder. A very similar hitch that will work with your Turning Point pin box is

• To uncouple the Curt Q20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16130 you'll first want to get the trailer as level as possible with the truck in-line with the trailer. Next you'll need to pull off the handle lock (pictured below) to allow the handle to pull out. You may need to lift up your trailer just a bit to take some of the pressure off of the hitch head to prevent it from binding up. Being brand new you shouldn't have any issues with it needing grease already so it's most likely just bound

• Can Reese Elite Hitch Install on Curt Adapter Rails for More Height on a 2021 Ford F-450 Puck System

Your Reese Elite Series Hitch (discontinued part 30143) has a height range of 14-1/2" - 17" and is only able to secure to the OEM puck system on your 2021 Ford F-450 Super Duty, so we either need to get you a taller hitch that mounts directly to the pucks or you can use the Curt Adapter Rails # C88KR with a different hitch to gain more height like what you said.

We do not have any information stating that the Curt Crosswing cannot be used with the Curt Helux pin box, but if Curt specifically told you not to, then I would have to take their word for it. So unless you can get them to put a different pin box on your 5th wheel, we will need to go in a different direction for the 5th wheel hitch. There are other slider hitches available, but they are going to be considerably heavier than the Crosswing. For example

The fixed base Patriot would be a compatible option with # C88KR.
