Fifth Wheel Hitch that Allows for Easier Connection/Disconnection When Not Perfectly Level

Updated 03/04/2019 | Published 03/02/2019

Question:

Is there any fifth wheel hitches that are not so sensitive to being level in order to release? This has been extremely irritating.

Fifth wheel hitches in general like to be as level as possible when connecting/disconnecting, but the hitch we offer that offers the most flexibility and pivoting ability in the head is the Curt Q20 part # C16130. If there was a hitch that was the easiest to connect/disconnect on unlevel ground it would be this one. This hitch has a spherical axial bearing which allows easy pivoting of hitch head more than any other hitch out there.

Check out the review video link I attached for this hitch to see more info on how easily the head of the hitch can pivot.
