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. I helped hitch the Curt two times and it is NOT near as easy to get the jaws closed around the kingpin as the B&W. 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.
And our Trucks are made in MEXICO....
You might want to check your data. Curt is Made in the USA.

"The company offers American-made, custom-fit receiver hitches and wiring harnesses for nearly any vehicle on the road. They also market a broad range of trailer hitches, towing systems and related accessories."
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.
