OE Puck System

Expert Take

A 16K E-Series puck-mount fifth wheel with a single-pivot head that drops into factory bed holes. It's the budget pick that tows lighter trailers fine, just with more noise and less articulation than the step-up Curt lines.

About This Product

This fifth wheel hitch drops directly into factory OE pucks. No adapter needed. If your truck came with the fifth wheel prep package, you have pucks in your bed ready to accept this hitch.

Simpler head design than the A-series. Still pivots and works, just through a roller mechanism instead of torsion inserts.

Good choice when budget matters and your trailer is under 16K.

SAE J2638 certified.

9.0 /10 Stupid Simple Score

The 20K Companion offers the same cushioned, fully-articulating head as the bigger 25K, just rated for lighter fivers. It drops into factory pucks and tows about as smooth and quiet as a fifth wheel gets.

Another 25K puck-mount Companion with the trademark cushioned head that soaks up road shock and stops the back-and-forth chucking. It installs without rails and comes out in pieces light enough to handle solo.
