I just love seeing all the replies when this comes up. There are so many people out there that say they loved their Curt hitch...."But we upgraded" LMAO
I had a Curt Q16 and I upgraded to the B&W Patriot. I went with the Patriot because I didnt have to change the rails to make the upgrade.
The Curt Q16 was the biggest POS I have ever seen. There was no provision to latch the slide bar and every time I would get to the campground the bar would be slid out and wedged at an angle. It got to the point where i was putting a ratchet strap on the handle to secure the hitch. Any company that would come up with a dangerous system like that will never see another dime of my money no matter how "good" the rest of their products are.
There seems to be a lot of negative comments along with how after they fixed or figured it out it worked fine comments on here about the Curt hitches.
A hitch should be simple to use without any indicators or fancy anything. It should be solid and simple to use no matter the brand.
