Description
The CURT PowerRide 30K 5th wheel hitch is designed for ease of use while having the capability to tow the largest 5th wheel trailers. It begins with a self-resetting handle and coupling indicator. The sophisticated handle self-resets after uncoupling your trailer, making it ready to couple again, without an extra step. The handle is also easier reach and operate from the side of the truck. The color-coded indicator shows the coupling status, giving you better eyes on the towing connection without having to frequently climb in and out of the truck bed (verify connection before towing). The head of the PowerRide 5th wheel trailer hitch is comprised of a cast steel yoke that tilts in multiple directions — not just front to back — promoting a smoother ride and quieter connection. The hitch has a cast steel body for exceptional strength and operating precision, and it uses two interlocking jaws to fully wrap the kingpin for less chucking. To ensure long-lasting use, the 5th wheel plate is equipped with wear indicator plates. These indicators also contribute to smoother towing and eliminates the need for messy grease. Installing the PowerRide and relocating it for storage is made easier with several unique design enhancements. The head assembly is attached with a single pin, allowing you to quickly dismantle the hitch into smaller, lighter-weight components for easier handling. The hitch is also equipped with strategically placed grip points for a comfortable, confident hold when lifting. Installation requires no welding and no fabrication. This PowerRide 5th wheel hitch comes with a set of CURT OEM puck system 5th wheel legs designed to be mounted on select models of the Ram 2500 and 3500 with 8-foot bed and with the truck bed puck system (year range specific). The legs mount directly into the four-point mounting system, allowing the hitch to be installed quickly and easily. This CURT 5th wheel hitch is rated for 30,000 lbs. gross trailer weight and 7,500 lbs. tongue weight. It is tested according to SAE J2638 specifications. It includes the hitch head and puck system legs.
