The best custom rail kit with the highest capacity for your 2022 Ford F-150 is going to be the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ford - Gloss Finish item #C93WR. These custom brackets mount beneath your truck bed to provide attachment…

First of all did this problem just start happening? If the trailer has always worked fine before on the same truck then it's likely a short on the trailer's brake wiring. I would start by cleaning the connector and make sure it's free of…

Thank you for all of the information regarding your Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch #C16265 being stuck on your 5th wheel trailer. It sounds like you've got 2 things going on here; the first is that the jaws are binding, and the second is that…

The brake magnet can indeed be in direct contact with the armature surface of the brake drum, regardless of whether or not the magnet is energized. This doesn't present a problem unless the drum is worn and has grooves in the armature surface.…

If the surface on the inside of the drum where the shoe pads make contact isn't smooth then a brake shop may be able to turn the drums. If that surface or the surface where the magnet makes contact (called the armature surface) is discolored then…

Yes, this sliding bushing on the Curt Q20 #C16530 that you're referring to is a removable bushing (which is why it slides) and is completely normal. I've attached the section in the instructions where it refers to this bushing. Figure 10…

I called my contact at Curt, and he confirmed that when you take hitch out of yoke of your fifth-wheel hitch, take a look at the openings on the orbital pad. If you will see wear and tear of the openings that is a tell-tale sign that it needs…
