We’ve been full time RVing for a year and absolutely love this hitch, and have had zero issues with it. We are towing a 19000 lb Riverstone with our GMC 3500HD dually, and I would definitely recommend it.



by:

Because of the design of the pick up box, this hitch is the easiest hitch. I have ever used it simple to install and completely remove from the box.



by:

Great simple installation ready for the rv now.

2024 GMC Sierra 3500

Very fast shipping, easy install, and great towing experience. Thank you etrailer.



by:

Looks like a nice hitch. I will get it installed soon.



by:

i got the 5 th wheel hitch and it was easy to assemble the only problem i have with it is the operation sticker that is suppose to be placed on the side is only printed in French . the one on the hitch and the two that came with it were not in English this was my only disappointment somebody needs to better check this how many more are like this.



by:

Fast delivery, great price from etrailer. Hitch is very well built easy to install.



by:

It is a great hitch. The only thing that would help would be a latch to hold the jaws open when I pull away from the trailer.



by:

Amazing product and great company fast shipping



by:

Absolutely luv this hitch. Minimizing the chucking and bucking noises gives ultra quiet confidence and control.
Etrailer was super EZ and amazing to do business with will not hesitate to use them again

2017 Ram 3500

Traded a 2017 Chevy 3500 for a 2022 Chevy 3500 not knowing the oem factory setup changed dimensions. Had a Reese 20k set up, decided to go with the Curt system. Hands down one of the best choices that I have made in a long time. No comparison on the quality of the Curt over the Reese. E-Trailer was great to deal with. Kept me posted with emails on the 4 days it took to receive shipment.

We will be using it soon. Installing was a great with the video to help.



by:

Solid hitch no slack in the jaws so no rattling or clunking. It’s really heavy. My husband uses our tractor to pick it up.



by:
2022 GMC Sierra 3500

This is a very nice and strong hitch. The shipping and delivery from Etrailer.com was right on time. There were no delays and it was packed well. I must say the the box with the hitch in it was extremely heavy. I have not pulled with it yet but with the design I believe that it will take most of the chucking out of process.
It has a small foot print and I really like the fact that the wear pads are built into the hitch rather than the round one that slides onto the Pin.
I will follow up with an update when we make the next trip.



by:
2021 Chevrolet Silverado 3500

Just got it. If heavy makes it good it should be wonderful lol.It looks and feels like a good product. I got it together and fits in the truck well. Should last a long time. Thank you.

  • Curt PowerRide Fifth Wheel Hitch that Fits 2021 Ford F-350 OEM Puck Kit
    For a Curt PowerRide that fits the OEM pucks of your 2021 Ford F-350 and the year range you mentioned you'd need the leg kit part # C25JR with the head part # C56WR and you'd be set with everything needed. I don't have a good reason why we don't have this as a kit though. It's probably getting put together at this point.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500 w/ the OEM Puck System
    B&W makes a great hitch and are widely known as the best brand in the towing business. For your 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500's puck system you will want the B&W Companion item # BWRVK3710.

The Companion has 1" thick dual jaws that not only provide a secure grip but also help to prevent chucking and jarring. This not only makes towing more comfortable it's also quieter than other 5th wheel hitches....

  • Why Is Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Hitch Making Clank Noise When Taking Off From Stop?
    I haven't run into this issue before with the Curt PowerRide # C36WR but my contact at Curt has and here's what he had to say: "Sound like the king pin on the trailer moving with in the jaws which is normal. Adjusting the brake controller can help some of the issue."

  • Can 30k Curt Fifth Wheel Leg Kit Fit Curt PowerRide Fifth Wheel Hitch Head
    The PowerRide head part # C56WR can't be used with the current Curt leg kit you have now unfortunately so if you wanted a PowerRide that fits the GM rail kit the solution you'd need is the complete hitch part # C36WR.

  • Comparing B&W Companion and Curt PowerRide 5TH Wheels Hitches For 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 Puck System
    I recommend using the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3715 for your 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 with the in bed factory prep/puck system. This hitch is made in the USA and B&W has great attention to detail. While the PowerRide # C36WR looks like a great hitch I have never been a fan of the integrated Wear Plates # C52WR. They are specific to the one hitch and when they become damaged they may be difficult to find on a trip. And as I have seen with other manufacturers if they discontinue...

  • How To Prevent Bed Rail Damage When Towing Toy Hauler RV
    We can help. I think I follow and correctly visualizing your situation. My first thought is if you have 6" of clearance at present time, that is in the range of the recommended minimal, the general rule of thumb is no less than 6' of clearance from the bottom of the fifth wheel to the top of a truck's bed rails. We have the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter, # CAB-C5G rated at 20K and 12" to 16" in height. This would be a direct remove and replace of what you have...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 Long Bed
    I have a few recommendations based on whether you have the OEM puck system on your 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 long bed. If you have the OEM puck system then I recommend going with the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C36WR because it is one of the nicest hitches on the market and is currently (December 2021) the only one rated up to 30,000 lbs. That weight limit is pushing it for trucks right now, but the way everything is trending you'll be able to get good use out of this hitch for...

  • Comparing the Curt PowerRide and A30 5th Wheel Hitches for a 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 w/ Puck System
    These 5th wheel hitches are extremely similar with only a couple differences. Both of them fit the factory puck systems in the 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500. I have linked a diagram below from Curt that lists the similarities. The main difference between the Curt A30 item # C16070 and the Curt PowerRide item # C36WR for your 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 is the Wear Plates item # C52WR. These wear plates for the PowerRide remove the need for using lube plates like item # C16722. The handles...

    We do carry the Curt PowerRide 30K hitch for your 2024 GMC 3500 with the factory prep. The hitch you are looking for is the # C36WR. The 30K gross towing weight and 7,500 pin weight rating make this one of the strongest hitches on the market today. You can use a lube plate like the # 16721 with this hitch, but it is not required. The built in lube plates are made to wear down and will need to be replaced over time. There are "ridges" on the built in lube plates. Once the ridges are no...

    Great question! We have definitely seen people in your situation be able to use a fixed 5th wheel hitch and still have enough cab clearance to safely make their turns. As long as the front of your trailer is angled and not boxed you should have that clearance you asked about. Since it sounds like you're still needing a 5th wheel hitch for your 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 short bed with the pucks I'll go ahead and make a recommendation for you as well.

  • Is The Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Compatible With Short Bed Trucks
    The reason the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # C36WR is listed as being compatible with only 8 foot bed lengths is because of turning clearance issues. A six foot bed typically requires a sliding hitch and a five foot bed requires a fixed hitch and rotating pin box to prevent the nose of the fifth wheel from coming into contact with the cab of the truck.
