Comparing Reese and CURT 16K Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitches
Question:
How does the Reese 16k 5er compare to some of the other brands Thanks in advance.

Expert Reply:
Reese is a leader in the towing industry and we sell more Reese hitches than any other brand. The # RP30047 is height adjustable from 14-1/2 to 18 inches. The jaw on the Reese hitch is a double jaw style. This is a safe and secure style. Only the single hook is considered to be better. It has a double pivot head.
Next we have the Curt E5, # C16115. It is nearly identical in specs with the exception being height adjustability. The Curt hitch is adjustable from 13-1/4 inches to 17 inches. It features a slide bar jaw, and 4 way pivoting head.
If it were me, I would go with the Reese hitch because they are a towing leader and they often put their products through additional testing above and beyond what is required.
