Which 5th Wheel Hitch Will Work With My OEM Pucks and a Rotating Pin Box
Question:
Hi we are trying to choose between the curt Q25 which will also include the puck rail adapter... weighing total 216 lbs. the pullrite PUL36ZR weighs 136lbs total and no need for any adapter rail for chevy silverado 3500 2024 8ft bed with puck system. Our 5th wheel RV uses Curt turning point lippert. Question: which one would you recommend more the Curt or pullrite? Question2: will both curt and pullrite work with the current turning point kingpin/pinbox? Question3: with the Curt Q25 i have to purchase the rail adapter as well, is there any additional items that i need to make it work for our truck and the turning point pin box? Thanks for your help in advance.

Hey Steve, so between the Curt # C16265 and the Pullrite # PUL36ZR I'd go wit the Curt but not the Q25. I'd go with the A25 # C24FR, which is basically the same thing as the Q25 but does not require the # C88KR adapter.
Only the Curt is going to work out of the box with rotating pin boxes so the Pullrite would need a wedge like # RP99FR or # MR74ZR to work with a rotating pin box, but you'd have to let me know what rotating pin box you have to get you the correct wedge.
The Pullrite does have a bit more adjustment at 16 1/4" to 18 3/4" compared to the Curt at 13" to 17", but if that's not a deal breaker I'd stick with the Curt.

Hi Bryce thanks for th information and recommendations. I will definitely look into the curt on your recommendation…trying to verify how the 17.5 inch height max will do with Chevy 3500HD long bed 2021. I have attached the turning point image that is currently on our rv. So after looking at the specs for both our RV’s max GVWR for our second RV is actually 17k. Will the A20 instead of A25 work better or does it matter? Im searching your site for A20..do you not sell it? Thanks again for your help.
