Here is a visual comparison of the B&W RVK3600 and Curt/RAM 25K hitch, I believe it's the same as the Curt 24. B&W is Made in USA Curt is made in China.

Another thing that would concern me is the hitch is only attached to the base with 4 bolts that I don't know what grade they are compared to the B&W with 4 bolts on each side that are grade 8. The whole slide bar with the flip oner latching mechanism seems very flimsy.
Yes I am a B&W FanBoy but I am giving a honest report between the two. Anyone in the market just compare them side by side.
You might want to check your data. Curt is Made in the USA.

A receiver hitch is NOT a 5th wheel hitch, very clever wording on their part. Again, ALL Curt 5th wheel hitches are Made in China.
