• Solution for Curt Q20 Fifth Wheel Hitch with Loud Clunking from Jaws
  Since the jaws of your Q20 can't be adjusted or replaced your best solution is going to be a new hitch like with the Curt A20 part # C16140 which is the newer version of what you have now which has a much tighter jaw design that will be quieter and last longer. Instead of the two jaw pieces coming together and just touching each other in the middle the A20 jaw has two pieces that lock together.

• Does the Curt Helux Pin Box Work w/ a Anderson Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch?
  No, I am sorry it does not. I just spoke with Lippert and none of the Curt Helux Shock-Absorbing 5th Wheel Pin Box like item # C73RJ are compatible with gooseneck adapters like the Anderson Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch. You would need to use a standard 5th wheel hitch like the Curt Q20 item # C16130. If you would like to upgrade your 5th wheel hitch, I would need to know whether or not you have the puck system, your truck's bed length, and the total weight of your 5th wheel trailer. Feel free...

• Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation to Use with Curt Turning Point King Pin 2021 Ford F-250
  Hey Timothy, basically almost every hitch ASIDE from the Q series Curt hitches like the part # C16130 that you referenced can be used with the Curt Turning Point pin boxes. That's actually one of the reasons Curt updated that line of hitch with the A series. So like the A25 part # C16036 would be a really great option if your 2021 Ford F-250 has the OEM prep package or the part # C77PV for if you do not have the prep package. With either of these you'd need the correct wedge which we...

  B and W makes their Companion hitches which were designed to fit directly to their gooseneck hitches like the # BWGNRK1314 you have installed in your truck.

• Comparing the Curt Q20 and the Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitches.

• Where Does Curt Q20 Fifth Wheel Hitch Have it's Grease Fittings
  For the Curt Q20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16130, Curt does recommend that "black graphite grease" be used for the jaw before initial use and every 1,000 miles thereafter.

• Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500
  I would be happy to help you. There are two big differences in options for towing a 5th wheel trailer with your 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500. The first and easiest would be if you have the prep package. What that is is a from the factory option that puts four holes in the bed of your Silverado for mounting a 5th wheel hitch (See picture below).

• Comparing The Curt A16 And Q20 Fifth Wheel Hitches
  With the Curt A16 # C16120 being a lower rated hitch than the Q20 # C16130 it's going to be a bit smaller.

The A16 is compatible with rotating pin boxes unlike the Q20 so you have a bit more versatility if you ever traded out your trailer. The A16 will also come with a limited lifetime warranty whereas...

• Will Curt Q20 Work With Lippert Turning Point Pin Box
  There is a great option for a Curt 5th wheel hitch you can use with your Lippert Turning Point pin box, but the Curt Q20 Fifth Wheel Hitch # C16130 is not compatible. The reason is the head of the Q20 has what is called a "spherical axial bearing" which is really a fancy way of saying it pivots 360 degrees. This means it is not stable enough to work with a rotating pin box such as the Turning Point or a Sidewinder. A very similar hitch that will work with your Turning Point pin box is...

• Comparing Curt A20 and Curt Q20 5th Wheel Hitch for 2020 GMC Sierra 3500
  The difference between the Q20 # C16130 and the A20 # C16140 is the design of the head. The A20 is the newer design that has the more standard dual pivoting head allowing front to back and side to side movement. The Q20 has a spherical axial bearing that allows 360 degree movement for a quieter ride. Customers have also at times had issues with easily connecting to their trailer because the head can move in all directions. My recommendation for you is the A20 and if you have the factory...
