The CURT E-Series Universal 5th Wheel Hitches are designed for customers who want dependable 5th wheel towing capability in a practical, rail-compatible hitch setup. Built around CURT's E16 platform, this hitch family gives pickup owners a strong connection point for compatible fifth wheel campers, RV trailers, toy haulers, and recreational trailers. It is a smart choice for customers who want straightforward 5th wheel towing performance with the flexibility of a universal above-bed rail style mounting system.
The E-Series design is built for customers who need proven towing function without stepping into a more complex premium hitch platform. With a 16,000 lb. gross trailer weight rating and a 4,000 lb. vertical load rating, the E-Series is well suited for many RV and camper towing setups when properly matched to the truck, trailer, mounting system, and lowest-rated towing component. This makes it a strong option for customers who tow on weekends, travel seasonally, or need a reliable 5th wheel hitch for recreational use.
A dual-pivoting head helps the hitch move with the trailer connection during normal towing. The head provides 10 degrees of lateral movement, helping the hitch respond to uneven pavement, campground roads, driveway transitions, fuel stations, and other real-world towing conditions. This movement helps create a more controlled towing feel than a rigid connection while keeping the hitch design simple and easy to understand.
The E-Series also includes an anti-rattle skid plate to help reduce unwanted movement and towing noise. That added control can make a difference during longer drives, especially when towing over changing surfaces or through areas where the truck and trailer experience frequent motion. Single-handle operation helps make hitching and unhitching more straightforward, giving customers a practical setup that does not feel overly complicated at the campsite or storage lot.
Four height adjustment settings allow customers to better match the hitch position to the truck and trailer combination. Proper hitch height helps support bed rail clearance, trailer stance, and a more level towing position when the system is installed correctly. The carbide powder coat finish helps protect the hitch inside the truck bed while giving it a clean, durable appearance that pairs well with other towing equipment.
The universal rail-compatible design makes this hitch family especially useful for customers building a traditional above-bed 5th wheel towing setup. Selected configurations may include base rails and installation components, while other versions are designed for trucks already equipped with compatible industry-standard 5th wheel rails. Whether customers are upgrading for RV travel, camper towing, toy haulers, weekend camping, seasonal trips, or dependable fifth wheel trailer support, the CURT E-Series Universal 5th Wheel Hitches deliver practical towing strength with straightforward operation and rail-compatible flexibility.
