Video Transcript for Curt Fifth Wheel 16721 Review
Today we're going to review part number 16721. This is the Curt 10-inch 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Lube Plate. This will protect your 5th wheel hitch in your 5th wheel trailer when you use this Curt Lube Plate. It's a 10-inch diameter disk that will easily slide onto the kingpin of your 5th wheel trailer and eliminates any messy grease deposits and it will reduce normal wear and tear when you're towing your 5th wheel trailer with your 5th wheel hitch. Again, just to measure the diameter for you. Edge to edge it's going to be right at 10 inches and thickness on it is going to be right at about 3/16 of an inch. Just to show you, here's an example of a .. This is what the kingpin would look like on your 5th wheel trailer.
You just install this onto the kingpin itself and then when this installs into the 5th wheel hitch, it will give you a nice protection between your pin box of your 5th wheel trailer and the 5th wheel hitch itself. You remove it just like that. That should do it for the review on part number 16721, the Curt 10-inch 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Lube Plate. .

Prevent scratches on your fifth-wheel hitch's skid plate and ease trailer hookup by installing this heavy-duty lube plate. Simply slips over your trailer's king pin.by: Donald 07/29/2023
Package arrived on time. The assembly and installation was as easy as the video described. The quality of the hitch is very impressive.
Excited to hook up my new 5th wheeler and hit the road.
Very happy to buy a made in America product.
by: Brad 07/10/2023
Hitch came when expected and Alex was great when ordering hitch. It was pretty simple to install and seems to be a heavy duty hitch. My only complaint is the boxes it came in was pretty mangled up. Looked like they were drug being the delivery truck. Over all happy with this purchace.
by: Kevin11/30/2023
I bought the wiring harness to transfer my trailer electricity from back bumper to inside bed of my Sierra 1500. Everything went smooth and I loved drilling a two inch hole in the bed of my truck. Done in less than one hour.
etrailer was familiar with this product and they were very friendly and easy to deal with.

Great product and great way to protect the surface of your 5th wheel hitch
by: Kayla05/01/2023
Hi! We tried another lube plate and it was
awful! Stay with etrailers and the Curt lube plate and you wont be disappointed.
by: Douglas09/04/2023
I have dealt with etrailer on several occasions. There products have always been as described and their delivery time is great, always sooner than expected.
by: Robert 08/24/2023
As always, service with a etrailer is excellent. Item arrived ahead of schedule as often as the case. Great company to conduct business with, and I will continue to do so.
by: Timothy 04/06/2023
Wish the 5th wheel lube plate was made in the USA, not China. Other than that it looks good.
by: Greg 08/05/2023

Items were missing from original order box had been damaged and retaped replacement parts were sent out right away Very good customer service.
by: Bernard01/21/2023
Fit in truck great had my first tow this weekend and it worked great.
by: Dusty09/06/2019
Works great! I use a similar product on my tractor trailers and I like these just the same. They are reasonably priced, easy to install and last forever! It’s still very important to grease the jaws and king pin but they really preserve the plate and hitch.
by: Jon11/27/2022
Ordering was great, delivery was quick, but they dumped all the boxes in the middle of my drive and left, without letting me know. They couldve been stolen. Prices are high compared to others and previous orders I was able to get discounts. The hitch box was completely destroyed, taped and half open in transit. Hopefully no parts are missing. Something has to change. Destroyed boxes equals destroyed products.
by: Vince H12/10/2022
Great product, about an hour to assemble and install. Easy hookup & disconnect.
by: Patrick 11/24/2023
Works as it should. Sits in place nice and tight
by: Robert02/27/2023
Works great. Pretty easy to install.
Etrailer shipped the hitch promptly.
Highly recommend etrailer
by: Larry10/06/2023
I returned didn't need it after all.
by: Jason 09/26/2023
So far works great. Just started using it, so will see how it goes.
by: Dave M09/07/2023
Excellent packaging is by far the most important part for me. Boxes 100% intact, so great care is taken with box selection and sturdyness.
by: Kelly 09/06/2022
2012 Silverado 2500hd The bed rails were a perfect fit, and an easy install. Woukd definitely recommend to any one looking to install their own fifth wheel. Kudos to e-Trailers!!!

Ordered and arrived quickly and exactly what I wanted Thanks Ron

- Do Fifth Wheel Hitch Lube Plates Still Require Use of GreaseLube plates like the Curt # 16721 do not require the use of a grease.
view full answer... - Recommended Lube Plate for Demco Hijacker Ultra Slide 16k 5th Wheel Hitch The Curt 10" Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Lube Plate, Item # 16721, would be a splendid choice for your Demco Hijacker hitch. I've attached a review video of this plate for you.
view full answer... - Availability of a Lube Plate for a B&W Model 3500 5th Wheel HitchThe Curt 10 Inch 5th Wheel Hitch Lube Plate, # 16721, is made of a durable nylon and measures 10 inches in diameter and 3/16 of an inch thick. This Curt lube plate will work nicely with your B&W 5th wheel hitch. All our pricing is located on the product page on our site.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Gooseneck Hitch Adapter and Revolution Pin Box on Chevy 3500 Long Bed TruckYou are correct that there is a conflict in using any gooseneck adapter with a Revolution or Sidewinder style pin box. The rotating turret being further back creates too much movement and torque for the gooseneck hitch. You can simply lock your Revolution pin box by using conical washers and torqueing the 3/4 inch bolts to 210 foot lbs and removing the wedge. That will allow your system to pivot at the hitch and work with your gooseneck and adapter, you just won't have the Revolution's...
view full answer... - Which Lube Plate for Curt Q20 Sliding 5th Wheel HitchIf you'd purchased the hitch new, it would have came with a 10 inch lube plate like # 16721, so that's what I'd recommend using.
view full answer... - Which Side of Curt Lube Plate 16721 Faces Pin BoxLube plates like the Curt part # 16721 will have a side that says which is supposed to face the pin box. Sometimes it's on a sticker or sometimes it's stamped into the plate. On this plate it's the top side, or the side with the label and UPC on it.
view full answer... - What Lube Plate Should I Use With A Pullrite 5th Wheel Hitch?It looks like you are already on the right track. A 10" lube plate like the Curt # 16721 would work great with your Pullrite 5th wheel hitch. According to the folks at Pullrite you can also use their dry lubricant graphite spray, but a lube plate will basically do the same thing with no greasy mess.
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement Head for a Reese Signature Series 18k 5th Wheel HitchThanks for the pictures! You are correct the 20K Select Plus Fifth Wheel Head Kit item # 58292 will work with your Reese 18k 5th wheel hitch. If you aren't already, I recommend using a lube plate. The Lube Plate for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches item # 16721 will prevent scratches and eventual rust on your new Reese head's skid plate and ease trailer hookup.

- Best Lube Plate for Pro Series 5th Wheel HitchAccording to the manufacturer, the best lube plate for a Pro Series fifth wheel hitch will be 10" in diameter and no more than 3/16" thick. With that in mind the best lube plate for a Pro Series hitch - because it has the exact dimensions mentioned above - is the Curt 10" Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Lube Plate # 16721. I have added a link to a video review of the lube plate for you to check out as well.

- Lube Plate Recommendation for Use with B and W Companion Fifth Wheel HitchFor a B&W Companion hitch I recommend using a 10 inch diameter lube plate. We have the Reese Lube Plate, # RP83002, which is my top choice, and the Curt 10 inch Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Lube Plate, # 16721, both of which will work nicely with your Companion hitch. B and W recommends the use of a lube plate so we also recommend it.
view full answer... - Is it Possible to Adjust Jaws on Curt Q16 5th Wheel HitchI spoke with my contact at Curt about your Curt Q16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, part # C16120, and he said a little play is to be expected in order for the pin to rotate freely. So the jaws should not fit too tightly around the king pin. The jaws are operated by springs. The first time you used your 5th wheel hitch the springs may have been a little stiff. By the second time you used the 5th wheel you likely loosened up the springs and the jaws, resulting in the play you noticed. Also if...
view full answer... - Excessive Movement Between the Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch and 5th Wheel Trailer King PinFirst, make sure that the jaws are fully closing around the king pin and that they are locked into place. If not then that would be why you are experiencing so much movement. If they are fully closing and locking then it is possible that the movement is actually coming from somewhere else such as at the connection between the head and the center section or the feet and the OEM Ford mounts. There are some things you can look at on the hitch to determine if the jaws are not fully closing....
view full answer... - Material of 10 Inch Lube Plates for Fifth Wheel HitchesEach of our 10 Inch lube plates for fifth wheel hitches are made from nylon, which is going to just as good a job as the graphite lube plates so you don't have to use any grease. The 10 inch lube plates we offer are: - Curt 10" Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Lube Plate # 16721 - Lube Plate for Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10" Diameter # RP83002 I have added links to video reviews of each of these lube plates for you to check out.
view full answer... - Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a Rotating Pin Box on a 2023 Ram 3500 w/ Puck SystemThe best 5th wheel hitch for your 2023 Ram 3500 that is compatible with the Lippert Turning Point and all rotating pin boxes is going to be the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch item # BWRVK3600. This hitch will drop right down into your factory puck system for an easy install and removal for when you're not towing. I really like this hitch because the Companion's 1" thick dual jaws will give you a 360-degree jaw to kingpin contact. This system minimizes the chucking, jarring, and noise...

- Lube Plate Recommendation for Use with B and W Companion Fifth Wheel Hitch For a B&W Companion hitch I recommend using a 10 inch diameter lube plate. We have the Reese Lube Plate, # RP83002, which is my top choice, and the Curt 10 inch Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Lube Plate, # 16721, both of which will work nicely with your Companion hitch. B and W recommends the use of a lube plate so we also recommend it.
view full answer... - Can an 11 inch Fifth Wheel Lube Plate be Used with a Curt Fifth Wheel HitchSounds like yesterday you were recommended the use of the Curt 10 inch disc part # 16721 with your Curt Q20 fifth wheel hitch and now you want to use the # LC286160 instead. There really is no reason you couldn't use the # LC286160. It has the same thickness as the Curt and would just be a little bit larger in diameter.
view full answer... - Lube Plate Recommended for B&W Companion 5th Wheel HitchFor their Companion series of 5th wheel hitches, B&W recommends using a 10 inch lube plate. I'd recommend the # 16721 from Curt. The lube plate would protect the skid on your hitch from getting scratched up, and would eliminate the need to use grease on the skid plate so you won't have a huge mess with grease everywhere.

- Lube Plate to Use with B&W 5th Wheel Trailer HitchI suggest a 10 inch lube plate on your B&W Fifth Wheel Hitch. The Reese # RP83002 is a great choice. There's also a Curt # 16721. Both will work just fine with your hitch.
view full answer... - Is Grease Needed When Using A Lube Plate?You do not need to use grease if you are using a lube plate like # 16721. The lube plate is designed to offer you a grease-free king pin slide into your hitch.
view full answer... - Why Is My 5th Wheel Hitch Chucking - Making Noise at Start/Stop?On all hitches, in all brands, there will be some play forwards and backwards, side to side, and even up/down. If there was not you would hear the awful screeching of metal on metal, similar to weight distribution systems on bumper pull travel trailers. This cannot be avoided. Some people report improvement with lubrication and/or a lube plate, but I do not understand why that should work. I suspect that the capture jaw design may not hold the king pin as tight as other designs. Since...

The Companion Slider has a 20,000 lbs capacity and will give you 12" of travel for making tight turns and backing. I really like the Companion because of its 1" thick dual jaws that provide a 360-degree jaw to kingpin contact.
