Question:

Have Curt’s q25 fifth wheel. If I buy the Curt OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch Legs for Ford Super Duty will they fit in Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Trailer Hitches? If not could you make a suggestion.

Expert Reply:

The Reese Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP30061 can be used with a Curt legs # C16017 and a Curt hitch like # C16520. The max capacity will be limited by the hitch head or the Elite rails which are rated for 18,000 lbs.

The Ford OEM system is the same as the Reese Elite system because Reese started that style of clean connection. Other manufacturers followed and altered the measurements so not all OEM legs will work with the Elite under-bed system, only the Ford OEM will work.

Yes. Your Q25 will work with the Curt legs # C16017 and be compatible with the Reese under-bed kit. You will be restricted to the 18,000 lb towing capacity of the under-bed rail kit # RP30061. If you let me know the year make and model of your truck, there may be an Elite system with a higher rated capacity that is compatible.
