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.

FAST SHIPPING GOOD QUALITY
Customer service is terrible, will not buy from etrailer.
This hitch is light weight (70lbs) easy to install and connect to the trailer. It is completely quiet and has no chucking at all.
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!
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.
Very quick delivery and Cassandra was awesome to work with.
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.
This hitch is so much better than the standard 5th hitch. After initial setup it can be installed or removed easily. Both take 15 minutes or less. I am 69 and I can complete everything myself.
Highly recommend.
