• Can Curt Hitch Fit Same Rails as Older Curt Fifth Wheel Hitch
  Hey Jesse, yes a standard fifth wheel hitch like the Curt part # C22ER which is a 30k fifth wheel hitch. This will work really great with your RV and since the handle does not stick up it would fit under your tonneau as well.

• Highest Capacity Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter
  The highest rated Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter we offer is 30,000 lbs, part # KPG5-Q30. It doesn't make much sense to go any higher as the highest capacity fifth wheel hitch we currently offer is also around 30,000 lbs, like the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C22ER.

• Why Doesn't The Curt PowerRide Hitch Head Pivot
  Manufacturers have found that the pivoting can lead to issues with certain pin boxes (Rota-Flex) and can actually cause an opposite effect hurting your ride quality. The Curt PowerRide # C48BR has a bit of give to it to help with coupling and ride quality but the main thing with a hitch this heavy duty is simply stability and strength to handle the load of the trailer. I've attached a short video below of the standard PowerRide # C22ER that Conner made going over the features of the hitch....

• Is it Safe to Haul Cars With the 30K Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch
  As long as you're within the 30K towing and 7,500 lb tongue weight limits of the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C22ER it will be safe for the hitch. You'll have to check the tongue weight and overall weight of the trailer though to make sure you're within those specs.

If your loaded trailer weighs in at 25,000 lbs but your truck is only rated for 21,000 lbs then the Curt PowerRide itself can handle...

• What is Difference Between Double Pivot and 360 Cushion for Fifth Wheel Hitch
  Some of those terms are phrases marketing teams decided to emphasize to how the head of the hitch is allowed to move to help with ride quality and ease of connection/disconnection. B and W calls this "double pivot" which essentially means it can pivot forward and back as well as side to side like with their Companion hitch part # BWRVK3500. Curt calls this 360 cushion which essentially means the same thing like with their Curt PowerRide part # C22ER. Both of these hitches have cushioning...

• Replacing Wear Plates On A Curt Power Ride 5th Wheel Hitch
  According to Curt, you never want to operate your PowerRide # C22ER fifth wheel hitch without the integrated lube plates installed.

• What Is The Difference Between The Curt C66HR And C22ER 30k Hitches?
  Though I do need to start by saying the highest rated fifth wheel hitch available for a 2019 Ram 3500 long bed with the factory puck system will be the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP37FR, which is rated to 27,000 pounds, I can still compare the Curt 30k hitches for you.

• Recommended Easy Operating 5th Wheel Hitch for 2016 Ford F-350 with 8 Foot Bed
  It sounds like you have industry standard base rails in the bed of your 2016 Ford F-350 so most hitches on the market will fit without any issues. For a smooth-acting hitch I recommend the 18K B&W Patriot # BWRVK3255. This has a cam-action handle that is easy to connect and release even in binding situations where your truck and trailer parking spot may not be 100% level. This has a higher rating than your 16K Husky slider so you can get a larger trailer but in all honesty a 2K difference...

I'll need to know the bolt pattern for your current pin box before I can pick out the correct replacement. There should be a white sticker that lists...
