Secure, Interlocking Two-Piece Jaw

A16 Two-Piece Interlocking Jaw

Unlike slide-bar models, the rounded, interlocking, two-piece jaw on this fifth-wheel trailer hitch inhibits rattle and movement by securely wrapping around your trailer's king pin, resulting in easier hookup and a safer, quieter ride.


Three-Point Indicator System

A16 Color Indicator System

Get peace of mind with Curt's color-coded lock indicator. Just look at the indicator - either the one on the handle or the one on the hitch itself - to determine whether the jaw is in the correct position to uncouple (red), couple (yellow) or tow (green).


S20 Slider

Most often used on trucks with 6' and 6-1/2' beds, this slider helps to eliminate clearance problems during slow-speed turns. When you are towing a fifth-wheel trailer, your hitch must be situated on the cab side of your truck's rear axle. However, at slow speeds you can use a slider to slide the fifth-wheel hitch (and the trailer) toward your truck's tailgate and past the rear axle, creating enough space between the cab of your truck and the trailer to permit less-restricted turning.


Curt rebranded this fifth-wheel trailer hitch by changing its name from Q16 to A16 in 2016. All features and specifications remained the same.

Product was as described. Fit and price were great. Just wish shipping would treat the package as their own. First couple pictures are from damage due to shipper carelessness.

    The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit, # C16468-204, will fit your 2012 Toyota Tundra with the 6-1/2ft bed. This kit uses the industry standard above bed base rails that are compatible with most hitches from Curt, Reese, Husky, Valley and Draw-Tite.

  • Recommended Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2019 Nissan Titan w/ Factory Prep Package
    Hey Kevin! Curt doesn't make a sliding hitch with a base that attaches directly to your Nissan's gooseneck puck system so you'll need to start with the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Nissan Titan XD OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package item # DM6200. This drops down into your gooseneck puck and gives a standard base rail set up. Then you can add any 5th wheel hitch that is compatible with industry standard rails. I looked up your truck's towing capacity and I think the best Curt hitch for...

  • Curt Custom 5th Wheel Base Rails & Installation Kit That Fits 2020 Ram 2500 With 6-1/2 Foot Bed
    We do have Curt custom 5th wheel base rails and installation kits that fit your 2020 Ram 2500 with a 6-1/2 foot bed, but they are a bit different than the part number you mentioned.

  • Hitch & 5th Wheel Capacity for 2016 Silverado 2500 Short Bed, 6.0L Engine, & Prep Package
    I searched online for the owner's manual to find the capacities, and found the exact towing capacity for your 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500 with a short bed and 6.0L engine will depend on the cab size, and if you have 2WD or 4WD. From what I found, with the 6.0L engine your truck has a 5th wheel towing capacity range between 14,000 and 14,500 lbs. If you take a look at your owner's manual you can find the exact capacity for your truck. For a 5th wheel hitch then you can go with a lighter capacity...

  • Is Height of Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch For 2023 Ram 2500 From Top of Base Rails
    Hi Gary, Good question, and the height of the sliding 5th wheel hitches for your 2023 Ram 2500 short bed are taken from the top of the bed rails. So for example, the outstanding Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider # C23DR has a height of 17-1/2 - 21-1/2 inches, and that height is taken from the top of the base rails to the top of the 5th wheel hitch.
