Quietest Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Ford F-250 with Factory Rail Kit
Question:
Hi guys, Will the start /stop clunking noise between King Pin and hitch jaws be better on the Q20 vs A16? I only really need the 16,000 lber but would go bigger if it was better on noise on start stop? Other than the capacity rating, is the Q20 better in any way? Thanks!

The A series of Curt fifth wheel hitches are actually an upgrade from the Q series and have a tighter grabbing jaw system so if anything going from an A16 to a Q20 would add more noise.
The quietest option we have that fits the factory pucks of your 2019 Ford F-250 with the factory rail kit is going to be the B and W Companion Slider part # BWRVK3370. The Companion hitches have a reputation as being the best on the market due to how quiet they are (best jaw design), how well they are made and how easy they are to use. This hitch is also made in the USA.
