Curt 5th wheel hitch

After I made the top post I went to the B&w site to see what made it so much safer than the other hitches. I can't find a thing.I would like to here what safty features it has that make it such a great hitch.

Frist did they say why the super glide won't work on a long bed truck. Don't make sence to me. I would get a second opinion on that, sounds like someone wants your hitch. Reese makes a great 18k hitch with a 4 pivot head. Select serries.

So much good info here! Over whelmed ! I am going to have the bed sprayed!

Thanks for all the info

Q20 is a good hitch. Curt uses a visual positve lock system to ensure the jaws are locked around the pin. I was upset tho learning it was made 'overseas' and assembled here.

I have the same experience.
But if I were doing it again, I might look at something that leaves the bed flat.

Before pulling the trigger check out the B&W. You will see a big difference in my opinion.

I believe the Curt is the OEM hitch on the new 2013 Rams, if ordered with one. I debated between Curt and Pullrite, went with the Pullrite, but would have been happy with the Curt.

I think they are beefier than the Reese, but 1000's of Reeses out there working fine.

We have the E5 16k and love it. When not in use, it's easy for one person to remove it from the bed. The 10 year warranty was also a plus.

If yer looking for a 18K hitch ya won't find it in a Curt. I just purchased a Q20 Curt last week and they only make a 16,20 and 22K ones that I've seen.
The nice thing was at the "Hitch House" where I bought it and had it installed they had multiple others on display as well, most comparable was the Reese. With the 2 side by side the Curt was hands down the winner! It comes in a more compact but beefier design and the fact that the head still has the swivel but on a semi ridged mount made the sell. The Reese head moves in all 4 directions but just flops around banging while not hooked to a trailer. The other BIG feature of the Curt hitches is their 10 year warranty that will outlast the truck it's in!
