Where is the Height Range of a Fifth Wheel Hitch Measured From
Question:
Already have the Curt universal rails and the Curt mounting kit on the truck.. On my old truck I used a 16000 pound Hijacker that measured 18 1/2 from the the garage floor to the plate level.How is the height measured on the hitch? Looking for a sliding hitch I can get on off easy. I tow two 5th wheel trailers, small 24 1/2foot and 34 foot about 13,500 pounds. What about the Curt 16521?. What is your best price on the hitch?

Expert Reply:
The height range of the Curt Slider Fifth Wheel Hitch part # C16521 is from the top of the install rails to the top of hitch with the head sitting level. Most rails are about 1-1/4 inches in height. So the maximum height the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16521 that you referenced would sit in the bed of your truck would be 18-1/4 inches.
Slider hitches are usually pretty heavy and this hitch is no exception as it weighs 193 lbs.
The price for this hitch is available at the link below.
