A 5th wheel trailer hitch is designed to mount into a pickup truck bed and receive a kingpin from a 5th wheel trailer. Much like the design of a semi truck, a 5th wheel hitch features a large, generally flat coupler head that latches onto the kingpin using a set of locking jaws. Being mounted in the back of a pickup, between the axles, this type of hitch can handle much more weight than a standard trailer hitch, up to 24,000 lbs. 5th wheel hitches also provide a wider turn radius and overall smoother ride. Though a 5th wheel takes up more room in the truck bed when installed, it mounts to the vehicle using a set of brackets and rails that allow the main 5th wheel assembly to be removed whenever necessary, without much effort.

CURT 5th wheel trailer hitches are built and tested to be highly functional, soundly constructed and safe to use. Like all CURT products, our 5th wheel hitches are put through strenuous testing to ensure they can perform at their listed capacities. We offer 5th wheel hitches and hitch brackets for nearly every make and model of appropriately sized vehicle and provide a number of accessories and adaptive products to make both your towing equipment and experience something you can take pride in.

The CURT Q-series leads the way in our 5th wheel line, offering hitches that are high in towing capacity and low in noise and maintenance. Something that sets the Q-series apart from the competition is its spherical bearing. Most fifth wheel hitches today use a dual-pivoting head that allows for movement in four different directions. The CURT Q-series shatters that concept by utilizing a spherical bearing that allows the head to move in any direction necessary. Not only does this mean a smoother ride on the road, but it also allows for easier coupling and reduced noise while towing.

CURT products are designed to make your towing experience easier, not more difficult. To achieve this goal, we have designed our 5th wheel installation kits to precisely fit the vehicle for which they were intended. When it comes to heavy-duty towing, we believe there is little room for the idea that “one size fits most”. That is why CURT offers custom and semi-custom 5th wheel bracket kits to ensure that your vehicle receives a proper fit. Our custom 5th wheel brackets, like our trailer hitches, are engineered for specific makes and models. This provides an exact fit and faster installation time. Similarly, our semi-custom 5th wheel brackets are made to work in combination with our universal 5th wheel brackets to provide the right fit for your specific vehicle.

Another one of our goals at CURT is make sure we are offering you options and a line of products that is flexible enough to meet your needs. The CURT 5th wheel hitch rollers come in 16K, 20K and 24K gross trailer weight capacities. A 5th wheel roller mounts to your 5th wheel brackets, taking the place of 5th wheel legs. When a shorter truck bed or extended RV cab cover requires it, a 5th wheel roller allows the 5th wheel hitch to be moved back toward the rear axle to provide the additional space needed for turning. CURT 5th wheel rollers are true rolling units, not just sliders. They feature non-binding rods and can travel up to 12 inches instead of only 10 as is common. CURT 5th wheel rollers easily mount onto a set of industry-standard rails.

Our line of 5th wheel accessories includes safety chain loops, lube plates, sound-dampening pads, pins, clips, and more. We have a number of adaptive parts, including 5th-wheel-to-gooseneck adapters, that allow you to maximize the potential of your 5th wheel installation by converting it into a gooseneck hitch whenever necessary. We also carry replacement parts for CURT 5th wheel hitches and brake controls for RVs, livestock trailers and other larger trailers.

Whether it is that dream trip you have been planning for a lifetime or just another weekend getaway, 5th wheel towing is a great way to explore the world around you and to remain comfortable while doing so. CURT is proud to offer 5th wheel towing products that exceed expectations and push the limits to help you Bring It

Class 1 and 2 trailer hitches are light-duty receivers generally found on small to mid-size passenger cars and smaller crossovers and SUVs. They can typically haul motorcycles, personal watercraft and other small trailer loads. Class 1 hitches have a 1 1/4 IN receiver tube and a maximum gross trailer weight (GTW) rating of 2,000 lbs. Class 2 hitches also have a 1 1/4 IN receiver tube but feature a GTW rating of 3,500 lbs.

Class 3 hitches are the most common trailer hitches found on vehicles today. They have applications on everything from full size sedans to full size pickup trucks. They are perfect for handling a boat or pop-up camper for a weekend getaway or simply hauling a utility trailer to the city dump. Class 3 trailer hitches have a 2 IN receiver tube and a maximum gross trailer weight rating of 8,000 lbs.

Class 4 hitches are the go-to hitch for those towing larger trailer loads such as heavy construction equipment, campers and boats. Similar to class 3, class 4 hitches are designed for larger vehicles such as full size pickups and SUVs. Class 4 trailer hitches have a 2 IN receiver tube and a maximum gross trailer weight rating of 12,000 lbs.

When a 6-ton gross trailer weight rating is not enough for your full size pickup, CURT offers the class 5 trailer hitch line. The class 5 hitch line is broken into two subcategories: the Xtra Duty series and the Commercial Duty series. Xtra Duty hitches have a 2 IN receiver tube with a maximum gross trailer weight of 17,000 lbs. Our Commercial Duty hitches have a 2 1/2 IN receiver tube and a maximum gross trailer weight of a whopping 20,000 lbs. These hitches are strong enough to handle many of the largest non-5th wheel and non-gooseneck trailers out there. All CURT class 5 trailer hitches come with a rugged carbide finish for scratch and fade resistance.

For certain applications, having a trailer hitch receiver at the front of your vehicle may be necessary. For example, a front-mounted hitch allows you to easily use a boat ramp by maintaining close control of your trailer. They are also excellent for holding cargo carriers and winches, though their gross trailer weight rating is typically restricted to 5,000 lbs. A front mount hitch may be of any class and can easily be installed on most full size pickup trucks, vans and SUVs.

RV trailer hitches are specially designed to mount onto a recreational vehicle in order tow a bike rack, cargo carrier or even a small vehicle on a tow dolly. They range from 3,500 lbs to 5,000 lbs in gross trailer weight capacity and come with 2 IN receiver tube.

Designed for light-duty towing, a bumper hitch bolts directly onto a vehicle’s bumper and provides a 2 IN ball mount receiver. Bumper hitches are excellent for lightweight loads such as bike racks and cargo carriers. A vehicle’s bumper rating is not increased by a bumper hitch.

For certain applications, the use of a weight distribution hitch may be beneficial or even necessary for proper control of your vehicle and trailer while towing. A weight distribution hitch is a towing component that mounts into the receiver tube of your trailer hitch and lifts up on the back of the vehicle using two spring bars. This lifting function actually helps even out the weight of a heavy trailer such as an RV or flatbed and allows for a more level ride across the entire rig. While weight distribution hitches do not fit all classes of trailer hitches, they are compatible with class 3, 4 and 5 as well as xtra duty, commercial duty and RV hitches. In most cases, the use of a weight distribution hitch will actually increase the gross trailer weight capacity of a trailer hitch. This, however, does not automatically increase the towing capacity of the vehicle.
