Curt fifth Wheel Hitches
Going from a short bed with a Pullrite Super Glide to a long bed where we don't require a slide hitch. Does anyone have any comments regarding the Curt Hitch, good , bad or otherwise? Any first hadn...

Cummins, you consistently say that the B&W under rates their hitches and I can find no evidence of this fact. Going by looks is no way to judge strength. As a end user why would I not trust the ratings.
I don't say that a truck is under rated...why would I say that about a component with a very specific rating.
Again...find me the reports of the Curt hitch failure or where their strength is in proven false.
As for pics here ya go

It's pretty much the same as the 16k except the 18k's base is welded.
What's really nice about the 20k and the 24k Curts is that if you purchase a truck...Such as a Ram with the Fifth wheel prep package you just unbolt the fifth wheel rail legs and bolt on the legs that work with the Ram package. So you only have to replace a piece of the hitch, not the entire hitch. Same with the Ford package. The center section is the same...
Here is the Ram legs attached
Here is the Ford legs attached
If you have a B&W and change trucks you have to change bases if you change mounting systems.
Like I said...they are both fine hitches...not really sure what issue you have with that.
Thanks!
