Two new tray-style bike racks from CURT add the security of ratcheting vertical arms, which keep bikes locked down during travel over sharp curves and bumps in the road. The mechanisms are also key operated, deterring tampering while unattended.

CURT has launched two part numbers for this model: 18085 for two bikes and 18087 for four bikes. Additionally, the supplemental 18091 cradles accommodate wider tires. As with other entries in CURT’s hitch-mounted bike rack lineup, these products feature an ergonomic design for easy loading/unloading and padded arms to prevent bike-frame damage.

Features

  • Ratcheting arms lock down frames and will not loosen during travel.
  • Tray-style cradles provide three points of contact to keep bikes secure.
  • Key-operated ratchets deter theft.
  • Adjustable cradles accommodate various bike sizes and styles.
  • Padded arms protect the frames from scratches.
  • Tray-style design allows for easy loading and unloading of bikes.
  • Threaded anti-wobble shank prevents sway during travel.
  • Tilts away for convenient rear-vehicle access.
  • Sides fold up when not in use for compact storage.
  • Durable black powder-coated steel.
  • Warranty: 1 year limited.

Use This Post Clip for Email

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 (60700): OEM-Style Gooseneck Hitch for 2017 Ford Super Duty

John Arnaud Leave a comment
Use This Post Clip for Email

Ingenious design and reliability don’t just describe the Ford Super Duty—they also inspired CURT’s OEM-style gooseneck hitch for Ford. This hitch is built to excel in two key areas: ease of installation and safe, reliable towing performance.

The 60700 hitch can be installed by a single person thanks to a design that uses fewer, more-compact components that can be handled without a buddy. CURT also eliminated several steps from the process to speed up installation time and reduce the number of required modifications. For example, the hitch does not require the exhaust or spare tire to be lowered, nor does it demand any welding, temporary truck bed removal, or even bed-flange trimming. Best of all, it mounts using preexisting factory holes—meaning the only drilling necessary is for the gooseneck ball hole and safety chains in the bed.

This OEM-style gooseneck hitch for Ford is SAE J2638 rated to safely tow up to 30,000 lb. GTW (7,500 lb. tongue weight). Instead of a side-handle mounted under the wheel well, it uses a patented, latch-locking 2-5/16” trailer ball, which easily drops into the gooseneck head from above the truck bed and is secured with a simple quarter-turn of the latch. Finally, heavy-duty 5/8” safety chain anchors are included for security.

Features

  • Easy, one-person installation.
  • No exhaust or spare tire lowering or drilling required (except the truck bed holes).
  • Patented 2-5/16” ball quickly installs with 1/4-turn latch-locking system.
  • Retention balls lock the ball in place, eliminating the need for a side handle.
  • Heavy-duty 5/8” safety chain anchors offer a secure hold for large trailers.
  • Protected by a rust-resistant liquid A-coat.
  • Meets proposed SAE J2638 testing standards.
  • Backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
  • Made in the USA.
