I have never had a curt hitch and saw that some of there hitches fit the ford puck system and are lower I price. I am just wondering what you guys think of this hitch and is it still good quality.

I own a Curt Q20 and have used it without issue for 4 seasons. The hitch is well made albeit in China (assembled in the USA). The hitch is heavy duty and a well thought out construction with lube zerks on moving points to keep things moving smoothly. As others have stated, it's a good hitch for the price.

On a dealer's recommendation I purchased a Reese for my F350. It was my first hitch.

After talking with experienced FW owners and looking at many different hitches since that time I probably could have been just as happy with a B&W.

Just from my own experience and what I have read on this forum and other forums, I suspect that Reese and B&W are pretty reliable.

I have the curt Q20, what a great hitch. It has preformed without problems for 6 years.

I have a Curt 16K in my 2500 Chevy and love it. No problem. As someone said, it is easy to see when it is locked.. Very easy to unhitch. Will recommend it.

I have the CURT 16K E5 Fifth Wheel Hitch With Slider. The E5 hitch has a flat bar that locks the pin to the hitch. It is very easy to see if the hitch is locked and fully closed. The head also has 10 degrees lateral (sideways)movement. A lot of other hitches only had 5 degrees. It also has a 5 year warranty.
I recently had a problem with the slider part of the hitch, their technical support personnel sent me a new base unit right away. They were really easy to work with.
Overall, I am happy with my Curt hitch.

I have had several Curt hitches. I have the one now for the Ford puck system. It is an AWESOME hitch. Curt makes some great hitches for the price.

We had one put on our 2015 Chevy. It didn't work so we took it back. It froze on the 5th wheel. My FH had to take it apart to get unhooked from the truck. The dealer replaced it and we insisted that they show us that it worked. It froze partially on their 5er. They ended up ordering us a Reese hitch at no cost to us.
