How Much Do The Components For The Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch C99DQ Weigh?

Question

Question:

I need to determine what is the individual weights of the 3 pieces puck rail, slider base, and 5th wheel hitch itself are so I will know if I can remove it from my truck myself in 3 sections without using a hoist of some sort. Again, not the total weight of all 3 items, but the individual weight of each piece so that I can remove the pins and separate the hitch plate, slider mechanism, and the puck rail base individually.so that I could possibly physically remove it myself without assistance. Thank you

Hi Dan!

The Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider for Ram Prep Package - 16K # C99DQ weighs 271.8 pounds all together, but I have the weights for each piece broken down below:

Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch - Dodge Ram Towing Prep Package # C29BR - 94.5 pounds
Curt S20 Slider for E16, A16, A20, and Q20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 12" Travel # C63DR - 109.3 pounds
Head Unit for Curt E16 Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch - 16,000 lbs # C16515 - 68 pounds

This will sound like a weird question since it's actually heavier, but have you considered the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider for Ram Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20K # BWRVK3670? It weighs 299.7 pounds together (230 pounds for the # BWRVB3670 base and 69.7 pounds for the # BWRVC3006 head), but you can also get the B&W 5th Wheel Lifting Device # BWRVXA3130 that can be hooked to a winch or engine hoist to remove it. Plus I prefer the B&W hitches as they are American made and easier to use and live with. Other than the weight, of course.

@DanH You're very welcome! Let me know if there is anything else I can help with! : )

Answer 1

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Hey Jerry, GM moved the placement of their puck systems starting with 2020 models so you are correct that the pucks would have the hitch not sit directly over the axle. GM did the math and made sure that this placement wouldn't adversely affect…

Hey Hadiya! No, the Curt E16 5th Wheel Hitch w/ S20 Slider for Ram #C85PV will not give you enough clearance to maneuver the Layton Skyline 5th wheel with your 2021 Ram 1500 with a 5-1/2' bed. This unit only moves you 12" back from the…

Since we don't carry the PullRite line I can't really speak to their quality but from what I can see from there website their 2900 model is fairly similar to the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider #DM89GV. Both hitches offer 14"…

Hey Paul! The PullRite SuperGlide #PUL43RR (2714) and #PUL73RR (2914) do weigh the same. The main difference is the capacity, which is going to come from the base of the 5th wheel hitch. Since your 2027 Keystone Cougar 316RLS has a GVWR of 12,900 lbs…
