Get the same heavy-duty hauling power that you expect from a 5th-wheel hitch, but in an easy-to-lift unit that you can remove by yourself. Innovative coupling system makes it easier than ever to hitch up, especially with a 3rd-brake-light camera.

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.
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.
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.

well packaged and well made.
Very fast delivery!
This hitch is light weight (70lbs) easy to install and connect to the trailer. It is completely quiet and has no chucking at all.
Customer service is terrible, will not buy from etrailer.
FAST SHIPPING GOOD QUALITY
This hitch has been great for me towing my 14k 5th wheel. The innovative design makes it easy to hitch up, and the 8" offset allows nearly 90 degree turns with my F-350 short bed. The lighter weight is a bonus. I had a small issue and Curt was quick with resolution.
Easy install! Haven't taken it out yet so cannot comment on performance.
This is our third hitch purchased and it is the best one we've used so far. Its fast, simple and light weight which makes it very easy to assemble and disassemble.
Excellent hitch! The only torque of 350 lbs. on a couple of the bolts. I’ve only been able to torque them to 250 lbs. It tows awesome and is an amazing hitch.
We've had the crosswing for a year now. We've towed our 38 ft 5th wheel 1000s of miles with no issues. It's a game changer. Easy installation. It's easily removed from the truck bed with one person and small enough to store without taking up a huge space. We have tons of space left in the bed for other things we take camping. There is absolutely no bucking as with our previous hitch and it makes towing easy. They really broke the mold when they made this product!
Everything seems fine but I do have a little clunk at the "V" connection point when braking from a forward movement. Otherwise easy install, lightweight and a solid connection to my Gooseball.
This hitch has worked very well. I have taken a 3000 mile trip as well as many smaller trips. It hooks up easy and tows well.
Had to replace my vehicle while on vacation. 2020 puck system was different than the 2025 puck system so I had to order a new base. Ordered the new base on a Friday and it was delivered the following Monday. Jacob was extremely helpful throughout the whole process. Package while extremely heavy arrived intact. Bolted rails together. Specs very tight on the 4 pins that hold the base to the hitch. Needed a little coaxing to get it pinned. Definitely a two person job. Would use e-trailers again in the future. Thank you for your speedy service.
I needed to move my in-laws 5th wheel trailer and didn’t have a 5th wheel hitch for my 2022 puck system. I wasn’t sure the new adapter would work on a 23 year old DrawTite hitch, It worked perfectly !!

Wow, I don't think I have ever seen a 23 year old hitch, before! That's awesome the rails worked for you. I'm impressed! You really had no issue and didn't have to finagle it at all?
Assembly and setup was super easy and quick. Seems super stout. I was worried the added 2 1/2 inches of height added by this would require some adjustments to the pin box. However once hooking up my trailer, no adjustments were necessary. Trailer is almost spot on level, and I am still maintaining 6.5-7 inches of bed side clearance to the trailer.

After a year of use, I have no complaints. It does its job just fine. I will also add for others in the market, my father and law has a 2025 Sierra 3500 that he upgraded to, and upgraded his standard 5th wheel hitch to a Andersen Ultimate for the factory puck system. I was able to compare side by side the puck style Andersen to the rail Andersenadapter I have. The height of the hitches are the exact same.

It's great to hear everything is working flawlessly for you Jon, and we appreciate your recommendation! Any fun upcoming adventures planned?
we went on a 150-mile trip it performed great. I replaced a curt A16 fifth wheel
slider hitch. Easy to hitch I will post more later after more trips
Well the package arrived on time but the box was damaged severly. Not sure if all the parts was in the box. After reviewing the items along with the instruction being ripped, all parts was present.

Hey Paul. I'm glad that Jacob got you all hitched up. What kind of 5th wheel are you towing?
