CURT 16047 Q24 5th Wheel Hitch for Ram 2500/3500

The CURT 16047 Q24 5th Wheel Hitch provides a robust towing solution for Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks equipped with the factory OEM puck system. With a 24,000 lb capacity and a self-aligning head, this hitch is engineered for heavy-duty performance and ease of use.

Product Description

The CURT Q24 is a high-capacity 5th wheel hitch designed to offer a smooth, quiet towing experience. Unlike hitches with limited pivot axes, the Q24 features a spherical axial bearing that allows the head to tilt in virtually any direction. This design reduces chucking, minimizes strain on your truck, and makes towing heavy trailers significantly more manageable. The hitch comes with vehicle-specific legs designed to mount directly into the factory puck system of a Ram long-bed truck, ensuring a secure fit without complex modifications.

Features & Benefits

• Spherical Axial Bearing: Tilts in any direction to provide a smoother, quieter ride and reduce equipment fatigue.
• Dual-Locking Jaws: Fully wrap the kingpin for 360-degree contact, increasing security and reducing chucking.
• Self-Aligning Head: Simplifies coupling by helping guide the kingpin into place, reducing alignment errors.
• Three-Position Coupling Indicator: Allows you to see the coupling status from the truck cab, eliminating the need to get out and inspect the connection manually.
• Adjustable Anchors: Ensures a tight fit between the legs and the under-bed platform to eliminate noise and vibration.
• Carbide Powder Coat Finish: Provides long-lasting protection against rust, scratches, and UV damage.

Key Points & Helpful Resources

• Weight Capacity: 24,000 lbs Gross Trailer Weight / 6,000 lbs Vertical Load.
• Compatibility: Designed specifically for Ram long-bed pickups with the factory puck system.
