• Could Curt Q25 Fifth Wheel Hitch Fit 2003 Ford F-250 for Car Hauler Towing
  As far as fifth wheel hitches go the Curt Q25 # C16265 does have a higher capacity at 25,000 lbs which would be a great option. But you'd have to consider the weight of the trailer you plan to tow plus the weight of the cars as well. This is just the hitch though. You will need to install a rail kit in the bed of your 2003 Ford F-250 as well so that the hitch has something to attach to. For that you would want the # C16443-204 which has been confirmed as a fit for your truck and would...

• Will Curt 25k Fifth Wheel Hitch Fit Same Rails as Reese 16k Fifth Wheel Hitch
  Yes, a Curt Q25 fifth wheel hitch # C16265 will fit directly into the same fifth wheel rails your Reese 16k hitch fit. Both of these hitches were designed to fit the same industry standard fifth wheel rails as what you have. You may also be interested in the Curt A25 part # C16180 instead. This is the upgraded version of the Q25 which has a nicer jaw design that provides a more solid connection to the king pin. The first picture I attached shows the A25 jaws which overlap and the second...

• Option for Raising Nose of Momentum 3975 Wheel Trailer Towed by 2019 Ford F-350
  4 inches of clearance between the bed rails of your truck and the overhang of the 2020 Momentum 397 is the very minimum amount of clearance most refer to as safe. So strictly in that regard you aren't in a terrible position. That said, 6 inches is a much more ideal amount of clearance to have and it looks like your trailer might be a little nose low so it could stand to be raised in the front. Since pin box replacements aren't really designed for offering varying height setting you'd...

• Does the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Hitch C16049 Come with Everything Needed for a 2017 Ram 3500
  The Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package part # C16049 comes with everything that you need to install on a 2017 Ram 3500 assuming you have the factory in-bed puck system (see photo). The hitch will drop into the pucks and you will then turn and lock the handles in place to secure it but there is no other hardware required for this. The puck system is a set of five holes in the truck bed, four on the perimeter and one in the center which would be pretty apparent if...

• How is the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch C16180 Different from the Q25
  According to Curt the A25 hitch # C16180 is a rebranded Q25 with a head that is made of stronger material. The A25 is the newer version. The changes made to the head address some issues with head failure associated with the Q25. The Q25 was a beefier version of the Q24.

• What Legs Fit a Curt Q25 5TH Wheel To Factory Pucks on 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 Short Bed?
  For a Sliding Curt Q25 # C16566 to keep the sliding capability you would need to use the Adapter Rails # C88KR as there are not a set of specific legs to fit the slider on your 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 with the 6'10" box. If you have a Fixed Q25 # C16265 and want to used the Fixed Legs # CU53FR just know you will need to watch your clearances when making tight turns since the short bed you have will not give you enough clearance for jack knife turns. We do have the Curt R24 Round Tube...

• Comparing Curt Q25 5th Wheel Hitch to B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch
  For your 2017 Raptor 412TH, either hitch will work well with your trailer. The differences are if you want to also have a clean bed and if a gooseneck hitch is also desired. I recommend the Curt Q25 5th wheel hitch # C16265 if you desire the above bed 5th wheel rails. This hitch is a very nice and clean looking hitch with some cool components like the 3 point indicator system, a 2 pin head removal system, and 4 inch adjustability.

• Will a Curt Q-25 Fit in a 2021 GMC Sierra 2500 with 6-3/4 Foot Bed and without the OEM Prep Package
  I have a solution for you, but there are two issues here; the Curt Q-25 # C97FR is designed to fit in the OEM prep package for Chevy/GMC trucks and typically a non-sliding hitch is only recommended for trucks with 8 foot long beds. If you've determined that your trailer is configured in such a manner that it won't contact the cab of the trailer when making turns and you've got an OEM prep package you can use the # C97FR. However, you've indicated that you don't have the OEM prep package...

• Differences Between the Curt Q24 and Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch
  The Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16265 is the same as the Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16245 for the exception of weight capacity.

• Difference Between The Curt Q25, Q24, and A25 For A 2022 Ford F-350 With OEM Prep Package
  The difference in the Curt Q24, the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16265, and the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16180 is that the Curt Q24 is the only hitch out of the 3 hitches that is a sliding hitch. These hitches are seen mainly on trucks with a short bed. Reason being, is the clearance needed to make sharp turns is out of the question without impacting the cab of the vehicle due to its mounting location. The slider allows the hitch to slide back giving additional room...

• Differences Between Curt A25 C16180 and Q25 C16265 5th Wheel Hitches
  The hitch jaws that grip the 5th wheel's king pin and the suspension system (for the lack of a better term) for the hitch head are the main differences between the A25 and the Q25. The A25 like the # C16180 uses an interlocking jaw system that does a better job of holding the king pin tightly, making contact with the king pin all around its 360° circumference. This leads to less rattling and banging which makes for a more comfortable ride. The A25 use a torsion dampening system in the...

• Adding a 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch to a Flatbed on a 1990 Ford F-350
  I do have a solution for your flatbed 1990 Ford F-350 but the Curt hitch # C16265 won't work for a couple of reasons (flat bed height and lack of installation kits that work with flatbed trucks). What you can use is the Reese low-profile hitch # RP30054. It was made for flatbed trucks but will require a custom installation. Basically, one the hitch is assembled you will do the following: Using the 4 square holes in the base as template, mark, pilot drill and finish drill to 5/8” dia....

• Comparing the Curt A25 to the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Hitch
  The Curt Q25 # C16265 had some issues with the jaws that the company corrected, so you shouldn't have any issues. The A25 # C16180 came on the market with stronger materials and a different jaw design that interlocked and came with a lifetime limited warranty versus the 10 year limited warranty of the Q25. The Q25 has an axial bearing that allows head movement 360 degrees, so it is able to function differently. The Q25 has easy 2 pin head removal. The A25 has easy 1 pin head removal....

• Recommended Industry Standard Rail Adapters for Gooseneck Hitches
  Yes, but it depends on what kind of gooseneck set up you have in your 2013 Silverado. The Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # C16265 needs a set of industry standard rails and there are adapters for gooseneck receivers. I saw you were looking at B&W 5th wheel hitches. If you have one the B&W Turnover ball systems with the square receiver you will want the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches item # 16310. The Curt X5 will drop down into...

• Lowering the Front of a 5th Wheel Trailer Towed by a 2017 Ram 3500 with Factory Puck System
  You definitely want to tow your 5th wheel trailer level! Towing nose high can have a negative impact on tire and suspension wear and put too much weight on the axles. Even though you can make a relatively tight turn now without sliding your hitch back a slider is still what I recommend. Even if you can't get it down the full 4 inches even just a couple of inches lower would be beneficial. For this reason I recommend the Pro Series slider # PS30121. The lowest setting can't be used so...

• Comparing the Curt Q20 and Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches for Differences
  I measured the jaws and on both the Q25 # C16265 and the Q20 # C16130 the thickness of both is 1/2 inch. The differences are most obvious in the vertical load limit and the gross towing weight ratings. I reached out to my contact at Curt and the jaws are identical so the differences are in other metals being a slightly thicker gauge and the leg design. My contact said they are basically the same in the hitch head except for the slightly thicker gauge metal on the Q25 head.

• Can Curt 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch be Used with Reese Elite Under Bed Rail Kit
  Fifth-wheel hitches that use above-bed, industry-standard base rails like the excellent Curt Q25 # C16265 that you referenced can be used with the Reese Elite Under-Bed Rails # RP30868 but only by way of the Reese Rail Adapter # RP30156. The adapter mounts to the Reese Elite Pucks to provide industry-standard rails that are compatible with most hitches, including the Curt Q25.
