Secure, Two-Piece Jaw

Q20 Two-Piece Jaw

Unlike slide-bar models, the rounded, 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

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).


Q20 Color Indicator System

360-Degree Pivot

Curt's unique spherical axial bearing provides a durable pivot point that allows easy, 360-degree movement of the hitch head. This ball joint is designed for smooth, quiet operation with less clunking and chucking.

Video Transcript for All You Need to Know About the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit for Chevy/GMC

Hello everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit for your Chevrolet and GMC trucks. Now this is a custom-fit part. It is designed to fit the 2011 to 2019 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 trucks with either the six and a half foot bed or the eight foot bed and without the OEM prep package. Now on a custom-fit part like this, I do recommend for you to go to our website, use the Fit Guide, put in your year, model, vehicle.

It'll show if this will work for your application. Now these brackets here are designed to mount beneath your truck bed, and they provide the attachment points for your fifth-wheel rails to attach to. Now those base rails we do sell separate on our website. Does require the base rails, part number C16104, C16204, or C16205. Those rails will bolt to these mounting brackets.

Now these brackets here will provide a custom fit. They mount to existing holes that are in your vehicle's frame. You can see the holes right here in the sides. These holes will eliminate the need for drilling. Cuts the installation time in half when compared with universal bracket kits.

Now it does include all the necessary hardware to install this. Comes with a nice set of instructions that'll describe how it all goes together. And these parts have a nice black powder coat finish on to resist corrosion. And these brackets are designed to work with the industry-standard rails that are compatible with B&W, Curt, Draw-Tite, Reese, and Husky above-bed fifth-wheel trailer hitches. But that should do it for the review on the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit for the Chevrolet and GMC trucks.

  • Best Way to Install a Gooseneck Hitch in a Truck w/ 5th Wheel Rails
    Hey Rebecca. So long as you have a set of 5th wheel rails like item # C16411-204 installed in the bed of your new 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, all you'll need is the Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails item # 16055. This will attach directly to those rails like your Reese 16K 5th wheel hitch. I have attached a picture below so you can see how the gooseneck plate looks when it gets setup. It has 3" of offset built into it for better turning clearance. You'll want...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Underbed System for 2015 Chevy Silverado Short Bed with Gooseneck Integrated
    There is only one option to help you get the gooseneck and rails you desire in your 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 short bed. The standard rails attach at the same locations as the gooseneck hitch brackets so individual options are not compatible. My recommendation is to use the Reese Elite Series Under-Bed Gooseneck Complete Hitch # RP30158-68 which will give you the underbed gooseneck hitch and the underbed rails with the pucks for a clean bed when not in use. Then you can use your current...

  • Can Demco Autoslider be Used with2015 GMC Sierra 3500 Factory Gooseneck Hitch
    Hey Nathan, thanks for reaching out! There is a bit to unpack here, but to start things off, I'm not seeing that a 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 would have had an OEM gooseneck receiver without the rest of the pucks, so I believe you have an aftermarket system. A single point attachment can't be used with an auto-sliding hitch like the Demco # DM8550034 because that feature will put too much torque on the single point and cause issues. The only way to use the Demco is if you install standard base...

  • How Many Bolts Are Used To Mount The Curt 5th Wheel Brackets To The Frame Of A 2012 Chevy Silverado
    On 2016 and newer models there's weld nuts available for you to insert two more bolts in the brackets for the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC # C16411-204. Since you have a 2012 you're good to go with just the two bolts you referenced. In the attached video below where Dave installs these on a 2013 you'll see he only uses two bolts on the side brackets when attaching them to the frame.

  • Will The Curt 5TH Wheel Hitch Rails Fit With Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch on 2018 Chevy 3500?
    The Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16411-204 will not fit your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 as you already have the Rails # C60604 for a gooseneck hitch installed where the rail brackets mount. If you have the Double Lock # C607-604 you can use the Adapter # C16210 for using a 5th wheel hitch.

  • Will the Curt Kit # C16411-204 Fit a 2011 GMC Sierra 2500/3500 with a Gooseneck Hitch
    Although the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16411-204 is a fit for your 2011 GMC Sierra 2500/3500, if you already have a gooseneck trailer hitch installed it will not fit as they use the same bracket locations. If you let me know what gooseneck hitch you have I can see if we have an adapter that will allow you to utilize a 5th wheel hitch though.

  • Best Lightweight Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2018 GMC Sierra 2500HD To Use With Sidewinder
    We have exactly what you need to use a lightweight fifth wheel hitch and Sidewinder in your 2018 GMC Sierra 2500HD with a short bed, and though we do not carry the aluminum Andersen hitch we do know you cannot use rotating pin boxes with this hitch. Instead I strongly recommend the Demco Recon 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550043 because it is compatible with a Sidewinder and has a head unit which weighs 50 lbs and a base unit which weighs 50 lbs; this means you can easily remove it from...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Rails for a 2016 GMC Sierra 2500 w/ a Curt R20 Slider
    Hey Kenny. So long as your 2016 GMC Serra 2500 Denali has a set of 5th wheel rails the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R20 Slider C16541 is indeed compatible. If you need a set of 5th wheel rails, I recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC item # C16411-204. This set of rails is industry standard which means it will work with most 5th wheel hitches on the market including your Curt A20. The brackets are custom fit and install in pre-existing holes in your...

  • Can a Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch Be Used With a Long Bed Truck
    You absolutely can put a slider 5th wheel hitch in your 2015 Chevrolet 3500 long bed; it's more than likely you won't need the sliding function to make turns so it could stay in the forward travel position. The only downside to it is there is more moving parts with slider hitches, which means there's going to be more noise when you're towing. Not to mention they are bigger and weigh more than stationary hitches so removing, and installing them is a little more difficult. To put your existing...

  • How Does The PullRite Super 5th Wheel Hitch PUL48RR Attach To My Truck?
    Hello Joe, thanks for reaching out. The PullRite Super 5th Wheel Hitch # PUL48RR is designed to work with the industry standard 5th wheel rails, so it would not hook into a gooseneck. I see that you were looking at parts for a 2016 GMC 2500. If you intend to use the PullRite Hitch with this truck, the correct rail kit is the following: - Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC - Carbide Finish # C16411-204

Not sure if you need both the brackets and rails, but if so you can use the following: - Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC # C16411-204 But if you have the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails # C16204 you'll just need the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit for...

  • Puck Spacing for the Curt A16 5th Wheel Kit for Chevy/GMC Pucks
    Hey Joanne, the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16520-16025 is designed to fit into the factory pucks on 2016-2019 GMC / Chevy Silverado 2500 & 3500s which have a spacing of 27" from left to right and 22" from front to back; so the legs have the same spacing since they drop into the pucks. Since it looks like you have a 2011 GMC Sierra, you'd actually need to install the base rails # C16411-204 first, and then you'd be able to use the Curt A16 # C16120. If you have anything else...

  • Can Curt Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Work with Pullrite Superglide Fifth Wheel Hitch
    If the Pullrite Superglide is an ISR style fifth wheel hitch which is designed for the rails that the Curt kit part # C16411-204 provides this will work. But there are two types of rails Pullrite designs their hitches for with one of them being for standard rails like what the Curt provides and the other only fits their rail designs. The easy way to know is if the name of the hitch from Pullrite has "ISR" at the end of the name. Or you can get me the number of the hitch and I can verify.

You can see these measurements in the diagram I grabbed from page 2 of the installation instructions. You can see the instructions by clicking the provided link.

You can simply change out the side plates with # DM6003 for that fit.

  • Recommended Fifth Wheel Hitch for Un-Level Terrain
    For hitching and unhitching on uneven terrain, the Curt Q24 you mentioned, part # C16245 would be ideal for you. The hitch features a spherical axial bearing that allows the hitch a full 360 degree tilt, not just side-to-side and front-to-back. This will lessen the chance of the hitch binding on the king pin. The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Hitch Install Bracket Kit you mentioned, part # C16411-204 would be the correct install kit for your truck. In order to install the fifth wheel hitch,...

  • Can 5th Wheel Rails be Installed Over a Plastic Bed Liner on a 2012 GMC Sierra 2500HD
    Since you have a plastic bed liner in your 2012 GMC Sierra 2500HD you will have to trim the liner in the foot print of the bed rails in order to install the kit, # C16411-204, in the truck. Plastic bed liners do not provide a stable surface which is why they have to be trimmed. All you will do is follow the instructions, linked for reference, to place the rails. Then trace around the rails, and then you can trim it with a rotary tool or similar. I recommend taking the liner out of the...

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 have a long bed truck you'd instead want the fixed version of this hitch part # BWRVK3500.

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.

Black graphite grease can usually be obtained at a local auto parts or hardware store and will probably just be labeled as "graphite grease."

These legs will replace the ones your currently have and allow you to install your Q20 hitch in the Ford factory puck system.

That's actually one of the reasons Curt updated that line of hitch with the A series.

Since you have a 5 3/4' bed, you'll need either a sliding hitch or a fixed hitch with a rotating pin box to ensure proper clearance.

Since there aren't any custom-fit mounting brackets for your 1988 Ford F-350 you'll need a universal kit like the B&W Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVR3200.

This will add standard rails to your truck via the B&W gooseneck hitch. However, unless you're using a rotating pin box you will need to switch to a slider for clearance with that 6-1/2' bed.

    Yes, it will Greg! I'm going with you having a 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 based off of the information you gave me. If that's incorrect please comment your year make and model below and I'll adjust my recommendations. If your Silverado has the factory puck system, you'll need to install the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch item # C88KR. These drop right down into the pucks and provide a base rail set up that works with the Curt Q20 item # C16130 you referenced. If you do not have...

  • 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. That being said, the A-Series does come with the wraparound jaws and a fully articulating torsion head to provide better cushioning from road shock and easier coupling than the Q-Series. 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...

  • 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). This is a factory option only and there is no way to add this with aftermarket parts. With this system on your truck you have two options to install...

  • Popping Noise Coming From Curt Q20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch
    There are several parts on the Curt Q20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16130 that need greased regularly; one zerk on each side of the head, one zerk in the center of the jaw, and the cam on the locking jaw mechanism. I have attached a photo that shows each of these points for you but also make sure you are using the appropriate grease type as this is important as well. If the issue is still not fixed once you have greased all of the above components then the next thing you will want...

  • 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...

  • Compatibility of Curt Gooseneck Hitch with B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch
    To install a fifth wheel hitch that would be compatible with your existing Curt gooseneck hitch, I'd recommend using Curt X-5 adapter, part # C16210. This adapter will lock into a Curt Double-Lock, Flip and Store gooseneck hitches (C-60 and C-600 series). The adapter provides bed rails for a fifth wheel hitch that uses industry standard bed rails like Reese, Curt, Draw-Tite, Valley or Husky. The Curt Q20, part # C16130 would be a good choice. The hitch has a 20,000 lb capacity and a dual...

  • 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...

  • Are Carriage Bolts used In Center Of Rails For Curt Fifth Wheel Installation Kit
    I have attached a drawing from the installation instructions for the rail kit part # C16430-204 you can check out. As you can see in the attached drawing I noted the carriage bolts and where they are located on the rails when installing. Please note the front rail uses 2 longer carriage bolts and the 8 shorter bolts are used in the other rail mounting locations.

  • 5th Wheel Hitch Install Kit Rail Location for 2017 Ford F-250
    The actual position of the bed rails can vary according to which manufacturer's frame bracket you're using. Since most folks tend to order the brackets from the same manufacturer as the hitch, I'll assume unless told differently that you're using the Curt # C16428 frame brackets with your Curt bed rails (you always want to ensure that the frame brackets and bed rails are from the same manufacturer so the capacity of the installation isn't compromised). The rails for this kit mount so that...

  • Will The Curt Q20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Work With The Trailair Rota-Flex 5th Wheel Pin Box
    No, the 20K rated Curt Q20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # C16130 will not work with the Trailair Rota-Flex 5th Wheel Pin Box, # LC328330. The manufacturer notes state "the Trailair Rota-Flex is not compatible with Curt E-Series or Q-Series 5th wheel hitches".

  • Will A Curt Q20 5th Wheel Hitch Fit A 1988 Ford F-350 DRW Long Bed
    Yes, you'll just need some base rails for the Curt Q20 Fifth Wheel Hitch # C16130 to mount to. Since there aren't any custom-fit mounting brackets for your 1988 Ford F-350 you'll need a universal kit like the B&W Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVR3200. If you don't have an in-bed 7-way connector then I highly recommend also picking up Draw-Tite 7-Way Pre-Wired Car Connector # 20023 to splice into your 7-way and run up to the bed for an easier...
