Curt 24k vs B&W 25k Fifth Wheel Hitch

I'm about to buy the fifth wheel hitch for our 2017 North Point 375bhfs. Either of these two hitches will have more than enough payload and towing capacity to go with our Ram 3500 dually.

I wanted to see if anyone has a preference for Curt or B&W before making a decision.

Thanks!

I have a Curt q20 slider

I haven't needed to slide it yet, but have been impressed with the ease of hooking up compared to my dads Reese hitch(he bought the cheapest one offered and is looking to upgrade). With the rubber insert and pivoting head there is not a lot of banging around. It is quite heavy and I took advice from others to mount a winch in my garage to lift it out of the truck. The only time it has not hitched up was when I was too high, there is no mistaking when it shuts with a thud. Always remember to look at the jaws and give a tug before raising Rv legs

Very happy with the B&W. You will not regret getting this hitch except for the weight. Good hitch and good customer service.

Love my B&W too, but it is heavy.

I'm sure they'll both do the job. I ended up with a curt 20K hitch after talking to a few. Still well within capacity and the darn hitch is still heavier than I would like. Half the cost of the B&W.
