Needed to have a hitch that I could adjust to sit lower and this Curt 30k was perfect. Of course I ordered it from etrailer with free shipping and best price around. I love the fact that you can track your order every step of the way. UPS delivered it a day early. Whole process was 5 star1263240

Review from a similar PowerRide in Fifth Wheel Hitch
Traded a 2017 Chevy 3500 for a 2022 Chevy 3500 not knowing the oem factory setup changed dimensions. Had a Reese 20k set up, decided to go with the Curt system. Hands down one of the best choices that I have made in a long time. No comparison on the quality of the Curt over the Reese. E-Trailer was great to deal with. Kept me posted with emails on the 4 days it took to receive shipment.1295842

Solid hitch no slack in the jaws so no rattling or clunking. It’s really heavy. My husband uses our tractor to pick it up.1501681

Review from a similar PowerRide in Fifth Wheel Hitch
This is a very nice and strong hitch. The shipping and delivery from Etrailer.com was right on time. There were no delays and it was packed well. I must say the the box with the hitch in it was extremely heavy. I have not pulled with it yet but with the design I believe that it will take most of the chucking out of process. It has a small foot print and I really like the fact that the wear pads are built into the hitch rather than the round one that slides onto the Pin. I will follow up with an update when we make the next trip.1294587

See what our Experts say about this CURT Fifth Wheel Hitch
We only have one fifth wheel hitch that has a high enough capacity for your trailer that has a loaded weight rating of 25,900 lbs. For that you'd want the 30,000 lb Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C22ER. view full answer...
You should be fine towing with your Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 30,000lbs Item # C22ER but you'll want to check the weight capacity rating of the rails you're using as there are currently no rails rated for 30,000lbs. If you need help finding out the weight capacity you can reply back with the brand you have and I can confirm the weight capacity for you. As long as your loaded trailer weighs less than your capacity you should have no problems. view full answer...
As long as you're within the 30K towing and 7,500 lb tongue weight limits of the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C22ER it will be safe for the hitch. You'll have to check the tongue weight and overall weight of the trailer though to make sure you're within those specs.
Another thing you need to keep in mind is the weight capacity of your tow vehicle. If your loaded trailer weighs in at 25,000 lbs but your truck is only rated for 21,000 lbs then the Curt PowerRide itself can handle... view full answer...
We do have a 30k fifth wheel hitch from Curt with the Curt PowerRide part # C22ER for a fixed hitch that fits standard above bed mounted rails. This hitch has an excellent jaw design that's very quiet, a cushioned head, and also a head plate design that does not require grease. view full answer...
It sounds like you have industry standard base rails in the bed of your 2016 Ford F-350 so most hitches on the market will fit without any issues.
For a smooth-acting hitch I recommend the 18K B&W Patriot # BWRVK3255. This has a cam-action handle that is easy to connect and release even in binding situations where your truck and trailer parking spot may not be 100% level.
This has a higher rating than your 16K Husky slider so you can get a larger trailer but in all honesty a 2K difference... view full answer...
If your loaded trailer weight is 25,900 lbs then you will want to use a gooseneck hitch rather than a 5th wheel hitch. The highest rated 5th wheel hitch that we have to offer is the Curt # C22ER rated for 30,000 lbs. You won't find too many 5th wheel hitches anywhere else that will be rated much higher than this.
You will also want to check the towing weight capacities of your 2014 Ram 3500 to make sure that you do not exceed what your vehicle can do. Using a suspension upgrade like the... view full answer...
The Reese Titan 5th wheel hitch was discontinued by Reese and they currently no longer have the handle bushing 58492 available. In the event you are not able to find this bushing in a dealers left over inventory or want to go ahead and upgrade to a new 5th wheel before more parts break, I recommend the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C22ER. This hitch is similar to the Reese Titan as it also has removable Wear Plates # C52WR so you will not need a Lube Plate # 16721. It will fit... view full answer...
There is a way to mount the 30k capacity PowerRide to your 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 with the puck system, but you are right that it doesn't mount directly to the pucks, so you will need an adapter for your truck; what you can use are the following:
- Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C22ER
- Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch - Ford and Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # C88KR
The only caveat is that the adapter rails have a 25,000 lb capacity, so you would need to abide by that... view full answer...
In order to use the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C22ER on a 2015 Ram 3500 you'll want to use the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram part # C16430-204 if you don't have the factory prep package or the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C74BR if you do.
Please note, the installation kit does not have a weight capacity, this comes from the fifth wheel hitch which will be the weakest component of the system since the install kit attaches to the frame. view full answer...
The Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # C22ER mounts to your bed using bed rails such as the Curt Semi-Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Dodge Ram 2500/3500, # C16301-200. Or the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Dodge Ram, # C16420-204. The attached image shows that you have a gooseneck hitch mounted although you do not identify what model, that may interfere with installation of the base rails I listed. Please note that the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch,... view full answer...
The Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Rails will include the the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C22ER and the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails # C99JR. You will need the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Bracket Kit # C99BR to attach to your frame and provide a mounting point for the above bed rails in the back of your 2022 Ford F-350 Dually.
The Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness # C57010 will allow you to add a 7-way connector inside your bed. This will protect... view full answer...
I may have a solution for you, but it looks like you've got the a Curt Q20 sliding hitch and # C16022 adapter for your Ram OEM pucks, which won't be compatible with a Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 30,000 lbs # C22ER. The issue you'll run into though is that the highest rated adapter for your pucks that will provide you with industry standard rails is the # RP30154, which has a 25,000-lbs capacity.
The highest capacity hitch available that will fit in the 2013-20... view full answer...
Though I do need to start by saying the highest rated fifth wheel hitch available for a 2019 Ram 3500 long bed with the factory puck system will be the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP37FR, which is rated to 27,000 pounds, I can still compare the Curt 30k hitches for you.
First, the Curt A30 # C66HR. The A-Series fifth wheel hitches have been around for quite some time and the second is the Curt PowerRide # C22ER. This is Curt's brand new fifth wheel hitch. There are a lot of similarities... view full answer...
If you have the Curt Fifth Wheel Base Rails in either the Gloss Black # C16104 or Carbide Black # C16204 those are only capable of supporting up to 25,000lbs. This would allow you to switch from the Q16 # C16120 to the Curt Q25 # C16265. Otherwise you will need to change to the Dark Gray Rails # C99JR and under bed mounts to use the larger 30,000LB Curt A30 # C66HR or PowerRide # C22ER 5th wheel hitches. Curt does not currently manufacturer a Q30 5th wheel hitch. If you can let me know... view full answer...
Yes, we do have the parts you need to convert your Big Tex trailer over to a 5th wheel hitch. You will want the Ram Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter item # KPG5-R30IP. It has a 30,000 lbs capacity.
The Ram Adapter item # KPG5-R30IP replaces the inner tube only and can be bolted on to your Big Tex 25GN's existing outer tube. This adapter has a 4" diameter so it should fit but you will want to confirm before ordering.
If you end up needing to replace the entire coupler and... view full answer...
B&W currently only has the standard Companion # BWRVK3500-5W in 20k capacity for the turnoverball design. The higher capacity 25k Companion # BWRVK3715 is only available with the puck mounted design.
If you're needing the extra capacity we do carry the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - 30,000lbs # C22ER or the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - 27,000lbs # RP46FR. Both of these hitches would require you to remove your B&W turnoverball hitch from the bed and install base rails in... view full answer...
