Tow up to 30,000 lbs with this fifth-wheel trailer hitch that's fast and easy to install and remove. Interlocking jaws and a color-coded lock indicator provide safety. Legs mount to Ford OEM underbed platform.by: Alexander02/27/2024
The ease of use and function is fantastic ! Unfortunately curt had to warranty a complete replacement after 4-5 months due to the internal main head-pivot bolts backing out and bending the retaining caps. The warranty process was fast and the people were great. I do highly recommend this fifth wheel. I combine it with my F450 and 40.5’ grand design fifth wheel.
by: Steve02/08/2024
I purchased due to the fact that you can remove the top and bottom portion separately. Totally not the case I have towed my 5th wheel thousands of miles and still can't remove the top section from the bottom even with a pry bar. I AM 63 and the whole reason I bought this was to be able to remove it with out any help. The pin lock chain broke in the box I had to replace it before I even used the hitch. It's also rusting as I have to leave it in the truck all year.

Ford F-450 Super Duty
Super sturdy for our 20,000lb 5th wheel, and 25,000lb work trailer. Very simple to install and remove. That sturdiness does come with some weight though. You'll need a strong back, even though it does come in two pieces. This is a 30,000lb hitch and would easily handle anything you could haul with any size pickup truck. When unhitching, make sure your trailer is pushed up against the front of the hitch. As with any 5th wheel, the jaws won't open up if there's rearward pressure on them. Connecting firmly to the tie down pucks in the bed of our F450, there is virtually no chucking. This is a quality item. I would absolutely recommend it.

I Purchased your 30,000 lb hitch prior to taking a 10,000 mile/26 state vacation. My Fifth Wheel loaded was 27,000 lbs and I never heard any noise nor did I have a problem hitching. Love the hitch and would recommend to anyone...

Ford F-350 Super Duty
It has performed flawlessly throughout 20,000 miles of pulling our 20 thousand pound 5th wheel. I could not have asked for a better hitch for my Ford F-350 dually

My 5th wheel hitch arrived! It was packed very well and arrived quickly. Highly recommend working with trailer.

This hitch is the best one we have had, and we have had several.Very easy to hook up to and go.
by: Nevin10/06/2023
Teflon wear plates break and lift. Hitch is noisy. The rubber isolators wear out really fast. Maybe has only 2000miles of towing. The jaw system works good and that’s about it.

I have the Curt Pin Box that came with my 5th wheel. The Hitch works great. Like many other hitches, I do get chucking; but that may be the pin box. I have F450 and the Ford puck kit fit in nice and snug.

Got here super fast less than 3 days, it was well packed and easy to assemble, now to put it to a test.
by: Dan03/13/2023
I received my hitch this afternoon, just as the shipping said. Chelsea helped me with it and so far the hitch looks great. Haven’t pulled with it yet but I am replacing a 30K pound Comfort Ride hitch that has failed on me twice. Last time the 1” bolt broke and thank the Lord my RV did not come off and kill people. I am happy with what I have seen and look forward to using it to pull my RV.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Fifth Wheel Hitch
- Weight of Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Hitch For Ford Super Duty Puck SystemThe Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ford Towing Prep Package # C48BR weighs 169 lbs total.
view full answer... - Is It Normal For There To Be A Gap Between The Jaws Of A Hitch And The King Pin It would not be normal for there to be a large amount of space between the jaws of the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C48BR and the king pin of your trailer's pin box. I recommend hooking up to the trailer and trying to pull forward a bit to see just how big the gap is and reach out to Curt to see what they consider is acceptable. It could be within tolerance but it could be an indicator that the jaws aren't fully closing as they should so I recommend taking pictures to help Curt...

Since your 2023 F-350 has the factory towing package you will want to use the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # C48BR. This 5th wheel hitch has a massive 30,000 lbs towing capacity.

view full answer... - Does The Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Hitch Have Any Front-To-Back Adjustment The B&W Companion is a bit unique with that feature and unfortunately the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C48BR does not have any front-to-back adjustment with the legs, only the height can be adjusted.
view full answer... - How Many Bolts Are Used On Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ford Towing Prep PackageIn regards to the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ford Towing Prep Package part # C48BR, you'll use four M14 hex bolts and washers (two bolts per side) to attach the head to the legs. The 1/2" pins and M14 nuts will not be used but everything else will. The pins are used for standard rail style legs. The head comes with hardware and can be attached to many different legs which is why there is extra.

The Curt hitch has more bells and whistles with some updated designs such as a three point indicator system, integrated skid plate, interlocking jaw design, and easy one-pin head removal to name a few. They will both provide a smooth...
view full answer... - Why Doesn't The Curt PowerRide Hitch Head Pivot Manufacturers have found that the pivoting can lead to issues with certain pin boxes (Rota-Flex) and can actually cause an opposite effect hurting your ride quality. The Curt PowerRide # C48BR has a bit of give to it to help with coupling and ride quality but the main thing with a hitch this heavy duty is simply stability and strength to handle the load of the trailer. I've attached a short video below of the standard PowerRide # C22ER that Conner made going over the features of the hitch....
view full answer... - How To Install The Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Hitch In The Bed Of A Truck While we don't currently have an installation video available the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for GM Towing Prep Package # C36WR is super simple to install. The legs of this hitch are specifically designed to drop into the puck system in the bed of a GM truck. Each foot has a lever that you'll slide outwards from the hitch after removing the retention clip to turn the feet of the hitch into the unlocked position. Once they're unlocked you can drop the hitch into the pucks and...
view full answer... - Recommended Heady-Duty 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2024 Ford F-450 Super Duty OEM Puck SystemI actually really like the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C48BR over the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP68FR because it's easier to separate the head unit for installation and removal to your truck, and the jaw system has interlocking dual jaws that center the king pin which gives you a great ride quality when combined with the multi-directional cast yoke head and integrated wear plates.
view full answer... - Does The Reese M5 # RP30922 Fit A 2022 Ford F-350 With OEM Puck System As it stands right now (Dec 2022) there is a tech note from Reese stating there's fitment issues with the # RP30922 in 2022 Ford F-350's with no known date for a fix. In place of the M5 I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3305. B&W is known for quality and a top tier option that is confirmed to fit the OEM puck system in the bed of your F-350. This hitch is rated for slighty less than the # RP30922 at 25,000lbs, so if that's an issue and you need the extra capacity...
view full answer... - Replacement Wear Plates For Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch on 2022 F-350 8' Bed Puck SystemWe do carry the Replacement Wear Plates # C52WR for the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C48BR that fits your 2022 Ford F-350 long bed with the factory prep/puck system. Unfortunately, there is no estimated life span for these as there are to many factors such as trailer weight, pin box surface size, and any other dirt that can affect the life of the plates. Having the wear plates installed on the receiver does have its benefits over a traditional Lube Plate # RP83002. First you...
view full answer... - Recommended 5TH Wheel Hitch For a 2021 Ford F-450 With Factory Puck/Prep Hitch SystemI recommend going with the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3305 on your 2021 Ford F-450. This hitch has the quality of being made in the USA unlike both the Curt # C48BR and Reese # RP68FR. I've never been a fan of Reese as they like to come out with a new hitch and completely discontinue any parts for the old hitch forcing you to have to get a new 5th wheel. B&W also has a great warranty department who prefer to work directly with their warranty claims to determine what went wrong...
view full answer... - Will Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Work with Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Hitch AdapterIf I were you, I would change the connection point on the trailer back over to the gooseneck ball but if you have something like the Ram Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter part # KPG5-R30IP then yes, you can use this with the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ford Towing Prep Package part # C48BR. If you can give me details of the coupler on the trailer, I'd be glad to see if we have an option to convert you back to gooseneck.
view full answer... - Comparing B&W Companion and Curt PowerRide For 2023 Ford F-450 With Factory Puck/Prep Bed MountsPersonally I prefer the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3305 over the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C48BR. With that said the Curt is rated for 30,000lbs while the B&W is only rated up to 25,000lbs so if you need to tow a trailer weighing over 25,000lbs you will want to go with the Curt. I prefer the B&W as it is made in the USA and has the quality B&W is known for. While Curt does not have a bad reputation I do not like the Wear Plates # C52WR on the Curt and if they...
view full answer... - Will Curt 30K PowerRide 5th Wheel Hitch Fit 2022 Ford F-350 Super DutyYes, the Curt PowerRide 30K 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C48BR is designed to fit your 2022 Ford F-350 Super Duty if you have the factory prep package. If you don't have the factory prep package then all you need to be able to use the PowerRide is the Reese Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit # RP87FR. This is the aftermarket equivalent of the factory kit so the puck locations will all be the same. You might also consider installing a 7-Way like part # 50-97-410-010 in the bed of your truck...
view full answer... - Best Towing Parts for Gooseneck and 5th Wheel Towing for a 2022 Ford F-350 Super DutyThank you for the details! I recommend installing the Reese Under-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # RP39FR on your 2022 Ford F-350 because it gives you the Ford OEM puck system. This means you have the 4 pucks for adding a 5th wheel as well as the center receiver hole for a gooseneck hitch ball. When you aren't towing the truck bed will be clutter-free so it's easier to load up the bed for hauling cargo. To tow a gooseneck trailer I recommend picking up the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit #...
