12 best used 5th wheel hitches
A used 5th wheel hitch is an essential component for towing heavy trailers and RVs.It's a type of hitch that's specifically designed for fifth-wheel trailers, which are typically larger and heavier than conventional travel trailers. Here are some key points about used 5th wheel hitches:
Function: A 5th wheel hitch allows for a secure connection between a tow vehicle (usually a pickup truck) and a fifth-wheel trailer. It uses a kingpin-and-jaw mechanism to provide a strong and stable attachment, making it ideal for towing heavy loads.
Types: There are different types of 5th wheel hitches, including fixed, sliding, and gooseneck hitches. Fixed hitches are stationary and suitable for standard towing setups. Sliding hitches have a sliding mechanism that allows for better maneuverability, especially in tight spaces. Gooseneck hitches are designed for those who need to tow both fifth-wheel and gooseneck trailers.
Compatibility: It's crucial to ensure that the used 5th wheel hitch you choose is compatible with both your tow vehicle and your fifth-wheel trailer. The weight capacity and mounting system should match the specifications of your setup.
Condition: When purchasing a used 5th wheel hitch, inspect it thoroughly. Look for signs of wear and tear, such as rust, cracks, or damage to the hitch's components. Make sure all moving parts, like the jaws, are functioning correctly.
Installation: Installing a 5th wheel hitch can be a complex task, and it often requires professional installation. Ensure that the hitch is properly installed to guarantee safety and reliability when towing.
Maintenance: Regular maintenance is essential to keep your used 5th wheel hitch in good working condition. Lubricate moving parts, check for wear, and address any issues promptly to prevent accidents on the road.
Safety: Safety is paramount when using a 5th wheel hitch. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and recommendations for towing capacity and safety precautions. Ensure that your tow vehicle's tires, brakes, and suspension are in good condition.
Accessories: Depending on your towing needs, you may need additional accessories like a capture plate, a kingpin stabilizer, or a trailer wiring harness. These accessories can enhance the performance and safety of your 5th wheel hitch setup.
Price: Used 5th wheel hitches can be more affordable than brand-new ones, but be sure to compare prices, consider the condition, and inquire about any warranties or guarantees when making your purchase.
In summary, a used 5th wheel hitch is a critical component for safely towing fifth-wheel trailers. Ensure compatibility, inspect the condition, and prioritize safety and proper maintenance to enjoy trouble-free towing experiences.

And now, you can use our Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection in truck beds with a large fuel tank or toolbox. Each Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection comes with a patented ball-funnel to make hook up even easier! The aluminum Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection is the lightest, strongest, most innovative 5th wheel hitch in the world! The base weighs just 35 lbs, eliminating the common struggle of getting your 5th wheel hitch into the bed of your truck. In fact, the base of this unit can be completely installed or removed in less than a minute. Andersen Hitches has truly found the solution to making life simple! Fifth Wheel Hitches for Short Bed Trucks? That's right! The Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection Toolbox Model even works in short bed trucks. So if you have a short bed truck, the Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection has you covered. And remember: every Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection is designed to give you an incredibly smooth and quiet ride. The custom ball used on the Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection has nearly 3"" of adjustable height and rides inside a greaseless coupler — which means no more dirty hands and no more mess! And since the coupler is designed to ride on a ball, you get more swivel in every direction than with any other 5th wheel hitch available, giving you the ability to couple or uncouple your trailer on uneven terrain. Now that’s convenience! Strong, robust and simple, the Aluminum Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection is the lightest, strongest, most innovative 5th wheel hitch in the world – and all at a price that won’t make you cringe.

IMPORTANT: If you are using an Andersen Ultimate Connection with a Rota-Flex Pinbox, we REQUIRE you to use a Rota-Flex Lockout Kit to prevent damage to the hitch and/or tow vehicle. It also keeps the rubber pad in your Rota-Flex pin box from shifting over time. If your Andersen Ultimate Connection (3220, or 3220-TBX) will be installed on a 2015-2019 model of GMC or Chevy Trucks with no OEM, we suggest pairing it with the Full Bed Support System. This helps prevent warping that may result from torque forces, and fastens to the frame beneath the rearward bed saver rail. If you need to change the height of your gooseneck ball, you may need a coupler tube to extend the connection of the Ultimate Connection so it can attach to the gooseneck ball.

How to select a 5th wheel hitch: What size is the truck bed?
Your truck bed length will determine the type of mounting platform you’ll need for your 5th wheel hitch: legs or a roller. 5th wheel legs are the standard option for mounting a 5th wheel hitch, but they will only fit in a long-bed truck. For short-bed trucks, extra clearance may be needed when making tight turns. A 5th wheel roller will allow the hitch to roll backward, providing enough clearance between the trailer overhang and the truck cab.
Does the truck have an OEM puck system?
If you own a truck from Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Nissan or Ram, your truck bed may be equipped with a puck system (pictured). If your truck has a long bed with the puck system, select a CURT 5th wheel hitch with the appropriate OEM puck system legs. If your truck has a short bed with the puck system, select a CURT 5th wheel hitch with the appropriate OEM puck system roller or roller adapter.
Do you prefer permanent base rails?
If your truck does not have the OEM puck system, you will need to install 5th wheel rails. The traditional method for installing base rails is to use vehicle-specific under-bed brackets. First, select the custom under-bed brackets that fit your specific make and model, as well as a set of industry-standard base rails. Next, if you have a long-bed truck, select a 5th wheel hitch with legs. If you have a short-bed truck, select a 5th wheel hitch with a roller. Remember to always abide by the weight capacity of the lowest-rated towing component.
Would you like the option to easily remove the base rails?
Another 5th wheel mounting option is a gooseneck hitch. Using the CURT Double Lock EZr or Double Lock gooseneck and X5 adapter plate allows you to have a removable set of industry-standard 5th wheel base rails. First, select the Double Lock EZr gooseneck hitch kit that fits your specific make and model. Next, select the corresponding X5 adapter plate. Finally, if you have a long-bed truck, select a 5th wheel hitch with legs. If you have a short-bed truck, select a 5th wheel hitch with a roller.

User questions & answers
Question: | Does this come with hitch pins |
Answer: | There are like 3 slots to adjust the hitch height. |
Question: | What is the required distance between mounting rails? I already have rails installed for a HiddenHitch setup |
Answer: | Not if your truck has the pucks in the bed. This one is for the rails which you would have to buy. Most people with short beds get the slider so the trailer wont hit the truck. |
Question: | Is the hitch adjustable if so whats the highest and lowest hights with universal rails |
Answer: | I'm guessing it will but you might want to ask someone who installs these items for a living. |

If your truck has a long bed with the puck system, select a CURT 5th wheel hitch with the appropriate OEM puck system legs. If your truck has a short bed with the puck system, select a CURT 5th wheel hitch with the appropriate OEM puck system roller or roller adapter.
Do you prefer permanent base rails?
If your truck does not have the OEM puck system, you will need to install 5th wheel rails. The traditional method for installing base rails is to use vehicle-specific under-bed brackets. First, select the custom under-bed brackets that fit your specific make and model, as well as a set of industry-standard base rails. Next, if you have a long-bed truck, select a 5th wheel hitch with legs. If you have a short-bed truck, select a 5th wheel hitch with a roller. Remember to always abide by the weight capacity of the lowest-rated towing component.
Would you like the option to easily remove the base rails?
Another 5th wheel mounting option is a gooseneck hitch. Using the CURT Double Lock EZr or Double Lock gooseneck and X5 adapter plate allows you to have a removable set of industry-standard 5th wheel base rails. First, select the Double Lock EZr gooseneck hitch kit that fits your specific make and model. Next, select the corresponding X5 adapter plate. Finally, if you have a long-bed truck, select a 5th wheel hitch with legs. If you have a short-bed truck, select a 5th wheel hitch with a roller.

CURT Q-Series 5th Wheel Hitches
CURT Q-series 5th wheel hitches are designed to tow your RV or other 5th wheel trailer as quietly as possible. Each 5th wheel hitch is built with around a spherical axial bearing that allows the hitch head to tilt in any direction necessary for a smooth ride.
CURT Q-series 5th wheel hitches are available in capacities of 20,000, 24,000 and 25,000 lbs., and they are compatible with a variety of mounting options.
360-degree tilt
The Q-series spherical axial bearing allows the 5th wheel hitch head and coupling point to tilt in any direction necessary to ensure a smooth, quiet ride.
Dependable connection
Each Q-series 5th wheel hitch comes with dual jaws to fully wrap the kingpin, reduce chucking noises from the trailer and enhance towing security.
Easy coupling
The wide, self-aligning Q-series 5th wheel head helps eliminate errors when backing up to the trailer, allowing for less stress and reduced time for the coupling process.
Simple operation
All Q-series 5th wheel hitches are equipped with a lockable, short-throw handle that automatically engages with the kingpin to simplify coupling even further.
How to select a 5th wheel hitch: What size is the truck bed?
Your truck bed length will determine the type of mounting platform you’ll need for your 5th wheel hitch: legs or a roller. 5th wheel legs are the standard option for mounting a 5th wheel hitch, but they will only fit in a long-bed truck. For short-bed trucks, extra clearance may be needed when making tight turns. A 5th wheel roller will allow the hitch to roll backward, providing enough clearance between the trailer overhang and the truck cab.
Does the truck have an OEM puck system?
If you own a truck from Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Nissan or Ram, your truck bed may be equipped with a puck system (pictured). If your truck has a long bed with the puck system, select a CURT 5th wheel hitch with the appropriate OEM puck system legs. If your truck has a short bed with the puck system, select a CURT 5th wheel hitch with the appropriate OEM puck system roller or roller adapter.
Do you prefer permanent base rails?
If your truck does not have the OEM puck system, you will need to install 5th wheel rails. The traditional method for installing base rails is to use vehicle-specific under-bed brackets. First, select the custom under-bed brackets that fit your specific make and model, as well as a set of industry-standard base rails. Next, if you have a long-bed truck, select a 5th wheel hitch with legs. If you have a short-bed truck, select a 5th wheel hitch with a roller. Remember to always abide by the weight capacity of the lowest-rated towing component.
Would you like the option to easily remove the base rails?
Another 5th wheel mounting option is a gooseneck hitch. Using the CURT Double Lock EZr or Double Lock gooseneck and X5 adapter plate allows you to have a removable set of industry-standard 5th wheel base rails. First, select the Double Lock EZr gooseneck hitch kit that fits your specific make and model. Next, select the corresponding X5 adapter plate. Finally, if you have a long-bed truck, select a 5th wheel hitch with legs. If you have a short-bed truck, select a 5th wheel hitch with a roller.
Product description
Knowing that your 5th wheel trailer hitch is properly mounted in your truck bed is vitally important to the success of your towing. Without a firm attachment point, a 5th wheel hitch is rendered useless to your tow vehicle. When you choose a 5th wheel hitch for your pickup, install it with confidence with a CURT 5th wheel bracket kit and a set of CURT 5th wheel base rails. CURT 5th wheel base rails are universal, meaning they can be used with any 5th wheel trailer hitch and in virtually any truck bed able to accept a 5th wheel hitch. They are compatible with all CURT and competitive 5th wheel trailer hitches and 5th wheel rollers, and their universal design also allows them to accommodate gooseneck adapters and Spyder gooseneck hitches. Installation with CURT universal 5th wheel base rails is quick and simple. They mount with sturdy zinc-plated bolts, providing a solid mounting place for a new 5th wheel hitch. 5th wheel base rail bolts and other hardware can also be purchased separately to aid in reinstalling used rails. To protect our 5th wheel base rails from corrosion, scratches and UV damage, we coat each one in either a gloss black powder coat or a black carbide powder coat, depending on the model. This gives them the tough skin they need for hauling that RV, flatbed or other heavy-duty trailer and gives you the confidence to tow wherever the horizon leads.This set of industry-standard 5th wheel base rails is rated to 25,000 lbs. GTW and comes with a highly rust-resistant finish of co-cured liquid A-coat and durable carbide black powder coat.
User questions & answers
Question: | Will this also fit "eaz lift" 5th wheel's as well |
Answer: | They should as long as it is a standard plate |
Question: | will these work with a valley hitch |
Answer: | I don't believe I ever answered any questions about these rails. However, I bought them in 2015 along with the mounting kit for the frame as well as the hitch I don't remember. It's always best to call the manufacturer. |
Question: | Will these rails work for my Spyder 16085 gooseneck |
Answer: | I have been using this hitch for 3 years with a 2015 Shortbed Ram, have always had enough clearance to back my 5th wheel into any campsite we have been too. IN 3 years we have been to more than 20 different campsites. I also have a truexdo trucksport tonneau cover on my bed with no clearance issues |
Question: | one answer in your Q & A section says the hardware kit comes with the rails and other answers says it doe'snt, so which is it |
Answer: | If you go to the Anderson Manufacturer sight, they show you how. For me, it works great and is easy to do. It works great for my 35ft. 5th wheel. It is great if you use your gooseneck hook up for other trailers (which I do) and do not want the standard large 5th wheel hitch in the back of your truck. This whole setup is awesome, lightweight with easy install and easy removal for dailyu full use of the bed of your truck. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Will this kit work with a airlift air bag set up on a 2017 ram 3500 DRW |
Answer: | I'm not sure. I have air bags on my 2013 Ram 2500 4x4 with these brackets mounted. There was a change in the frame on 2016 Ram 2500. Check with a reputable RV dealer before buying. |
Question: | Will this fit my 2012 2500 long bed |
Answer: | It can be used, but may require slight modification |
Question: | anyone install this on a 3500 drw |
Answer: | I installed on my '13 Ram 2500 (I know you asked about a 3500, I assume a Ram too). Doubt the duals would make any difference. Take the spare down out of the way and the heat shield for it too as you will need all the room you can get for the torque wrench. The directions were easy to follow, just measure twice. Torquing to the 100 or so foot pounds sucks up under the bed as you have no leverage laying on your back but it gets done eventually. The only trouble I had was the bolt on the rail closest to the cab on the very far right. The hole ended up over a brace and there wasn't enough room for the nut under the bed so I had to move that bolt outward 2 slots. Now I have an extra hole. The directions might mention that but I missed it. Took me about 3-4 hours in my garage with regular tools. Good luck, hope this helps. |
Question: | Will these fit my 2018 2500 dodge short bed |
Answer: | Sorry just getting back to you! Not really sure, we bought them for a 2013 2500. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Does this fit a 2019 f250 superduty with an 8 ft. Bed |
Answer: | They came in the package that I received. Just keep in mind that "16k" is likely an exaggeration as far as weight rating is concerned. I have hauled heavy weight with my trucks for years and have used other brands of similar weight ratings with zero issues. I have had GREAT concerns with this hitch. i.e., pivot bolts have sheared THREE times and have had to be replaced, as well as the spot wielding on the "guide" for the king pin lock has just fallen out during use. I've had to pretty much rebuild this hitch to make it "safe" ad opposed to other brands that I have used for hundreds of thousands of miles without issue. Hope this helps. |
Question: | Is the mounting hardware included? Ie: rails,bolts and brackets to bolt to frame |
Answer: | The hitch is for a standard 5th wheel, Each truck takes a different adapter kit to mount it to your truck. You need to look to see if the sell an adapter kit for your truck. If your truck is not heavy duty enough they probably won't. The hitch it's self is strong enough to carry a big trailer. |
Question: | Do under bed brackets come with this fifth wheel hitch |
Answer: | No. It was just the hitch that you set into existing rails. I already had rails for 5th wheel installed. |
Question: | Is this compatible with 2001 dodge dakota slt 4.7l |
Answer: | I have a 2016 ram 2500 and if you have the rails in your truck bed, it works great. |

CURT E-Series 5th Wheel Hitch
The CURT E-series 5th wheel hitch is designed to provide an economical 5th wheel option for budget-conscious customers. It features a dual-pivoting head with up to 10 degrees of lateral movement to promote comfortable towing. To help provide a quiet ride, the hitch head also has an anti-rattle skid plate and rubber stoppers.
The E-series hitch is available in a 16,000-lb. capacity only. It is compatible with a variety of mounting options, including OEM puck system legs and rollers, industry-standard base rails and the CURT X5 gooseneck adapter.
Pivoting hitch head
To help promote a smooth, stable, quiet ride, the E-series 5th wheel hitch has a dual-axis head that allows for up to 10 degrees of lateral movement, pivoting with the trailer.
Single-handle operation
Operating with just a single handle, the E-series 5th wheel hitch automatically locks, making the coupling process easier and more secure.
Versatile design
The E-series 5th wheel hitch mounts to all industry-standard base rails and has four height adjustment positions, allowing it to adapt to various truck bed wall heights.
How to select a 5th wheel hitch: What size is the truck bed?
Your truck bed length will determine the type of mounting platform you’ll need for your 5th wheel hitch: legs or a roller. 5th wheel legs are the standard option for mounting a 5th wheel hitch, but they will only fit in a long-bed truck. For short-bed trucks, extra clearance may be needed when making tight turns. A 5th wheel roller will allow the hitch to roll backward, providing enough clearance between the trailer overhang and the truck cab.
Does the truck have an OEM puck system?
If you own a truck from Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Nissan or Ram, your truck bed may be equipped with a puck system (pictured). If your truck has a long bed with the puck system, select a CURT 5th wheel hitch with the appropriate OEM puck system legs. If your truck has a short bed with the puck system, select a CURT 5th wheel hitch with the appropriate OEM puck system roller or roller adapter.
Do you prefer permanent base rails?
If your truck does not have the OEM puck system, you will need to install 5th wheel rails. The traditional method for installing base rails is to use vehicle-specific under-bed brackets. First, select the custom under-bed brackets that fit your specific make and model, as well as a set of industry-standard base rails. Next, if you have a long-bed truck, select a 5th wheel hitch with legs. If you have a short-bed truck, select a 5th wheel hitch with a roller. Remember to always abide by the weight capacity of the lowest-rated towing component.
Would you like the option to easily remove the base rails?
Another 5th wheel mounting option is a gooseneck hitch. Using the CURT Double Lock EZr or Double Lock gooseneck and X5 adapter plate allows you to have a removable set of industry-standard 5th wheel base rails. First, select the Double Lock EZr gooseneck hitch kit that fits your specific make and model. Next, select the corresponding X5 adapter plate. Finally, if you have a long-bed truck, select a 5th wheel hitch with legs. If you have a short-bed truck, select a 5th wheel hitch with a roller.
Product description
When you purchase a 5th wheel trailer hitch, you expect it to be capable of towing your RV, flatbed or whatever other 5th wheel trailer you own. While a 5th wheel hitch does offer an impressive amount of towing strength, it cannot get far without the proper installation equipment. Engineered for specific makes and models, CURT custom 5th wheel brackets provide the ideal solution for complementing the power of your 5th wheel trailer hitch. A custom 5th wheel bracket features a shape that contours to the frame of your truck and uses pre-drilled holes in the frame wherever possible to make installation quick and easy. Depending on your model of pickup truck, they also reduce or eliminate the need for drilling. These particular custom 5th wheel brackets offer a custom fit for certain model years of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500 HD and 3500 HD (except cab and chassis) (see application info to verify fitment). Finished in a durable liquid A-coat, CURT custom 5th wheel brackets are made to last.

User questions & answers
Question: | Will this fit a 2009 gmc seirra 2500 hd |
Answer: | No, these brackets are designed for trucks with the boxed frame (late 2010 to current year). |
Question: | I have a reese fifth wheel hitch! will the hitch sit down into the curt rails just fine? and does the curt bracket fit a 2012 chevy |
Answer: | I also have a Reese, I used it as a template to fasten the curt rails and brackets on my 2016 gmc. It fits fine. The rails are heavier than the Reese. Curt has a number you can call to make sure you get the right brackets for your 2012. They were pretty easy install |
Question: | Will these brakets and rails work with a pullrite |
Answer: | These work too mount standard mounting rails in the bed. I used them on a 2015 Silverado Duramax and they mounted the rails perfect. Just depends on how the pullrite hitch mounts. |
Question: | I see you say it comes with all the mounting hardware just to be clear the is to the frame and for the rail installion also. Thanks |
Answer: | I don't think it had the frame bolts just the rail bolts, nuts, and spacers. I'm pretty sure I had to buy the frame bolts. it's been awhile since I put it in .. sorry. |
