The 16026 5th wheel legs from CURT make towing your RV, travel trailer, or other full-size 5th wheel trailer a dream. Specifically designed for the Nissan Titan XD with OEM puck system, these 5th wheel legs feature a three-point anchoring system that quickly and securely drops into the truck bed. They require no measuring, cutting, drilling, or vehicle-specific brackets for installation (the truck bed puck system is required for installation).

The legs feature standard, easy-access mounting holes to accommodate any CURT 5th wheel, and they boast a gross trailer weight capacity of 20,000 lb. To make towing as smooth and quiet as possible, these Nissan Titan XD legs also come with castle nuts that can be tightened or loosened as needed to eliminate any space between the pucks and the anchors.

For durability, this product is protected by a co-cured finish: a rust-resistant liquid Bonderite coating beneath a carbide black powdercoat. Together, the two create a superior shield against the elements as well as provide a barrier against rust, chipping, and UV damage. A limited lifetime warranty rounds out the protection.

Note: Requires Nissan Titan XD puck system for installation (long beds only). Compatible with CURT 5th wheel hitch heads up to 20,000 lb. Also available for Ford, GM, and Ram.

Features

  • Adapts most CURT 5th wheel hitch heads to fit the Nissan Titan XD puck system.
  • Quarter-turn anchoring system provides quick installation and removal.
  • Adjustable anchors eliminate chucking between the legs and under-bed platform.
  • Protected by a carbide black powder-coated finish and a rust-resistant liquid Bonderite coating.
  • Backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

CURT (17501): TruTrack Trunnion Bar Weight-Distribution System

CURT (17501): TruTrack Trunnion Bar Weight-Distribution System

Unlike many weight distribution hitches, which achieve compatibility through a sway-control attachment, the TruTrack system from CURT integrates the sway-control function into the design of the hitch itself to deliver a smooth, safe ride.

A unique spring and cam system accumulates pressure to actively stop sway—and then relaxes to make smooth turns. Like all weight-distribution hitches, the 17501 uses a pair of spring bars to leverage the trailer tongue weight and spread it across all axles of the vehicle-trailer combination; however, instead of using spring bar chains, the TruTrack connects to the trailer frame via adjustable, heavy-duty support brackets that hold the spring bars in place laterally and vertically. This design resists the side-to-side movement common to regular spring bars to help maintain trailer alignment.

TruTrack offers the same great quality as CURT’s other weight-distribution hitches, with the addition of hardened cam components that are less subject to wear. CURT stands behind this product with a 10-year limited warranty.

Features

  • Gross trailer weight: 10,000–15,000 lb.
  • Tongue weight: 1,000–1,500 lb.
  • Durable carbide powdercoat.
  • Hex castle nut for easy trailer swaps.
  • Two neutral bar settings: narrow and wide A-frame.
  • Fixed support brackets hold the spring bars in place laterally and vertically.
  • Pre-torqued 2-5/16″ trailer ball.
  • Cam springs build up pressure for integrated sway control.
  • Actively controls trailer sway and levels the vehicle-trailer combination.
  • Twelve-inch adjustable shank fits 2” x 2” receiver tubes.
  • Brackets use friction to resist lateral movement.
  • Trunnion-style, forged-steel spring bars.
  • Cast head and hardened cams provide solid attachment and resist wear.
  • Ten-year limited warranty.
