Curt Hitch
Thanking about treading my 2008 Dodge short bed for a new 2015 Dodge 3500 short bed. I've got a SuperGlide in the 08 but the new 15 has the 5th wheel prep. kit from the factory and the SuperGlide won'...

When you are hitching to the Curt hitch, I have found it is best to elevate the trailer pin so that the hitch plate is almost at the same height as the truck hitch plate – within ½”. Most other hitches are a little more forgiving on the height because they will elevate the trailer 1-3 inches with the “Ramp”.
The bottom line is this – the Curt hitch is a little more finicky when hitching; but, once you get used to it, it’s no more difficult than the others, and the benefit is better damping and a smoother ride.
I'll second this statement. I have a Q20, and when I first started using it, I was trying to ramp the trailer on. It wouldn't latch. Then I found out to set the trailer pin even, + or - a bit, to the plate. Now it latches so easy, you don't have to bang the trailer, just back to the pin, and it snaps shut. It works great, once you figure out how to hitch it.

It is different. My Husky wasn't finicky about the height, just run it up the ramp and it locked. The Curt won't work that way and if your TV is not level with the RV it's worse. I'm going to have to re-think how I hook up. Maybe the "level with pin" will work. I'll try it. The learning curve continues....
