Note: Because of the size of this item, it ships via truck freight.
Most often used on trucks with 6' and 6-1/2' beds, this roller helps to eliminate clearance problems during slow-speed turns. When you are towing a fifth-wheel trailer, your hitch must be situated on the cab side of your truck's rear axle. However, at slow speeds you can use a roller to slide the fifth-wheel hitch (and the trailer) toward your truck's tailgate and past the rear axle, creating enough space between the cab of your truck and the trailer to permit less-restricted turning.
Non-Binding Design
The round-tube design of this slider allows for relatively uninhibited movement of your fifth-wheel hitch. Because your hitch can glide smoothly and easily along the rods, there is less chance of binding.
With straight, flat contact points, as found with square-tube sliders, tension can build between the slider and the hitch when your truck and trailer are somewhat out of line or are on uneven ground. As a result, it can be difficult to properly activate the slider when your truck and trailer are not in a straight line.
With a round-tube slider, there is more give between the contacting surfaces, allowing better mobility of the hitch system. Fewer corners means less tension buildup. Activating a round-tube slider is easier, and operation as a whole is smoother.

As of now I'm only giving a one star. Not because of the product is bad ( not sure on it yet).I ordered Curt 5th Wheel Round Tube Slider for Ford Super Duty Towing Prep Package - 12" Travel. It said that it would be delivered with in a few day. Well the order came in on Friday, but it was incorrect. I got just the upper hitch no rail system. So I call and talked to them to make sure I didn't order something wrong. All way ordered correctly. The following Monday I was notified that a new order was ship. Then on Wednesday was notified another ordered ship. They shipped the upper hitch agin on the second order. Now it's been 3 weeks and I'm still waiting on the 3rd order to get to get to me so I can see what's in that order. The freight company is saying it will be about another week before they can deliver it.

Excellent - works as intended. I love the fact this unit was designed to slide while under full pin load. So I don't need to lower the front levelers and take the load off to make it slide. The only down side is that the spring loaded slider bar takes a lot of strength to get it "cocked" to allow sliding in either direction. This may loosen up with some use. I would definitely recommend purchase of this unit.
by: Frank 04/23/2020
The hitch arrived in perfect condition, the packaging is excellent and protects the product very well. The directions are well laid out and easy to follow. Total assemble was less than 20 min. However I am using the Curt Q16 hitch head which is listed as a replacement and while there are bolt holes perfectly aligned for this application they are not threaded like the original mounting arms were so I had to get 4 new nuts and bolts I wanted to make sure I used the exact same hardness so I had to order them. If there had been 4 nuts in the box the entire process would have been a perfectly easily install. I would highly recommend this product

After a year the slider is still working perfectly

I have ordered several items from etrailer, the most recent this 5th wheel slider base. It was delivered promptly, the deliver company even called me to ask where to leave the hitch and if it was alright to leave it at my house with no one home. I thought that was going above & beyond. All past items have been very satisfactory as well.

- Will Old Curt Q5 Hitch Head Fit Curt 5th Wheel Round Tube Slider for 2021 Ford F-350 with OEM PucksYes, your older Curt Q5 5th wheel hitch head will fit just fine on the Curt 5th Wheel Round Tube Slider # C16020 for the OEM puck system on your 2021 Ford F-350. According to my research your Q5 has the same bolt pattern for mounting to the 5th wheel hitch legs as the newer A16, A20, A25, E16, Q16, Q20, and Q24 5th-wheel trailer hitches.

- Will The Curt Q25 Hitch Head Work With The Curt 5th Wheel Round Tube Slider C16020?Hey Chandler. Yes, your Curt Q25 hitch head will indeed work with the Curt 5th Wheel Round Tube Slider for Ford Super Duty Towing Prep Package # C16020. Just keep in mind that the slider base is rated for 24,000 lbs instead of 25,000 lbs for the head. So, 24,000 lbs will be the max towing capacity for this setup.

This will all fit together but it is worth noting that the slider is only rated for 24,000 lbs so it will remove 1,000 lbs of weight capacity to the head unit itself. I confirmed this fitment with my contact at Curt.

I still like the slider, but I have to say that the spring holding the slider handle in the lock position is so stiff that it is almost impossible to pull the handle out to allow the slider to move. I have a DRW and have to get a step stool out, crawl over the fender, and yank on the handle to get it to move. As a hitch, no problems. But as a slider, it is not perfect for me.
