Product Details

Universal Q24 Series 5th Wheel Hitch Head (16545) by CURT®. 24000 lb Towing Capacity. Requires CURT 5th wheel roller or legs for installation. The CURT Q24 is the heavyweight champion of 5th wheel hitches. With a gross trailer weight capacity of 24,000 lb and a vertical load limit of 6000 lb, the Q24 is capable of handling the heaviest of 5th wheel trailers, including deluxe RV and oversize campers. Something that sets the Q24 5th wheel hitch apart from competitive models is its spherical axial bearing. Instead of having a set of rods on which the hitch head can pivot, the Q24 uses a spherical bearing to allow the hitch head to pivot in virtually any direction. This means smoother turns, a quieter ride and less strain on your towing equipment and truck.

Three-position indicator clearly shows the coupling status
This CURT 5th wheel hitch features a three-position color-coded indicator that indicates the status of the connection so you’ll know when the hitch is coupled, uncoupled, or ready to tow. It’s visible from the cab of the truck, promoting faster and easier coupling.

The CURT Q24 5th wheel trailer hitch also features dual-locking jaws, a self-aligning head, single-handle operation and a three-position coupling indicator. It comes with a durable carbide powder coat finish, a 10-year warranty and meets proposed SAE J2638 testing standards. This 24K 5th wheel hitch head comes ready to be attached to the CURT R24 5th wheel roller.

5th wheel hitches are by far the most trouble-free, easiest to hook up, and sweetest-towing rig on the road. Because the hitch is centered over the rear axle instead of four to six feet behind the axle, crosswinds and pavement irregularities that affect the trailer don’t affect the pickup nearly as much. Much like receiver hitches, 5th wheel hitches use an industry-standard rail system so they can be moved to a different truck, or removed temporarily to use the bed for normal hauling.
