Hey Steve,

Yes, a lube plate like the Curt # 16721 can be used with the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C48BR. If your wear plates do get worn out you can replace them with part # C52WR.

Answer 11

You do not have to use a sliding 5th wheel hitch in a short bed truck. In many cases, truck beds shorter than 8 ft do not have enough clearance between the trailer and truck to execute sharp turns. This is why sliding hitches were invented. Due to…
