- SandSOrrellExplorerIt is the hitch I have been using for the last year or so. This is my first fiver so I don't have experience with any other hitches. my trailer weighs about 14,000 fully loaded and we pulled it about 16,000 miles since buying it. IMO the Curt is a good solid hitch. It is also easy to check for a secure hitch-up. The jaws are visible from the rear of the hitch and you have the visual safety indicator on the hitch release handle. I like it!
- Texas_FlashExplorerI've had a Curt Q20 for five years, three fulltime. The manual says to lube it every 1000 miles. There are three zerks, easy to do. I've followed that instruction and had no problem at all.
- 12th_Man_FanExplorerVery pleased with my Q5. When you hitch up you can easily see if the hitch is locked.

How good are the Curt 5th wheel hitches?
Compare one side by side with a B&W then decide. - jerem0621Explorer II

They are very good. Even up against the B&W. Very secure and easy to see if the pin is secure.
Thanks!
Jeremiah - rastonExplorerI've got the 20K with slider. Have used it 2 seasons so far and just put it back in the truck last week for this up-coming season. The head is a one person lift, but the body and slider is a two person job, at least for me it is :) So I get my son in-law to help since I store it for the winter in his garage anyway.
I think it's a great hitch. Very positive lock-up and easy to to visually check when it is locked up. Have found it smooth on the road (ie: no chucking) except in some really nasty spots that I'm sure would shake anybody's setup.
As far as the slider goes, I use it occasionally... rather be safe than sorry kind of approach. I pull a 2005 Travelaire (9500 lbs) and it isn't as 'contoured' on the front corners as some of the newer models seem to be.
Highly recommend the Curt. - vietvet66-67ExplorerI've had mine for 2 years and LOVE it. Great hitch for the money. Good positive locking jaws, and not much looseness at all.
- LoubaExplorerIt's the only fiver hitch I've had but I'm happy with it. The head can be removed from the base to ease removal. If you plan to get one check out the price on Amazon. I got mine there and then had the dealer install it for me.
- John_BridgeExplorerI'm in my 7th year with the Curt Q5. The only problems I've had result from not lubing as often as I should. :)
