Highlights

  • Custom Fit for Your Vehicle: Mounts to existing attachment points
  • Strong, Stable Towing: Rated for 20,000 lbs GTW and 5,000 lbs vertical load for heavy 5th wheels.
  • Smooth, Quiet Ride: Interlocking 2-jaw system and torsion head cut down on rattle and road shock.
  • Clear Coupling Status: Color-coded 3-point indicators show if the jaws are ready to couple, tow, or uncouple.
  • Tight Turns Made Easy: Non-binding S20 slider gives 12" of travel for cab-to-trailer clearance at slow speeds.
  • Quick Removal When Parked: 1-pin head release lets one person lift the hitch out in manageable pieces.

Features to know about

Built for Heavy-Duty 5th Wheel Towing: 20,000 lbs GTW and 5,000 lbs Vertical Load Limit

This setup is designed for big fifth wheels that demand strength and steady control. With a gross towing weight of 20,000 lbs and a vertical load limit of 5,000 lbs, the solid steel build gives you confidence pulling serious weight. The carbide powder coat finish helps protect against scratches and rust over time, while the fully articulating torsion head smooths out road shock for a quieter, more stable tow.

Locked-In Security and Smooth Hookups: Interlocking Dual Jaw + Color-Coded Indicators

The interlocking two-piece jaw wraps completely around the king pin for full 360-degree contact. That design cuts down on rattle and movement so the connection feels tight and controlled from the start. A glance at the three-point color-coded indicator tells you what position the jaws are in—red for uncoupled, yellow for ready to couple, and green for towing—so you always know you’re properly locked before hitting the road.

Extra Clearance When You Need It Most: Non-Binding S20 Slider with 12" Travel

For tight maneuvering at slow speeds, the S20 slider gives you up to 12" of front-to-back travel. That extra space helps prevent the trailer from contacting the cab during sharp turns. It automatically latches in both directions, meaning you only need to step out once to set it. The non-binding design moves smoothly even under pressure, giving you reliable clearance and a solid, quiet sliding motion every time.

Quick Bed Access Without Heavy Lifting: One-Pin Head Removal and OEM Puck System Rails

When you’re done towing, clearing your bed is simple. The fast one-pin head removal lets one person lift off the top section without tools, while the hitch base drops right into puck receivers and locks in place with quarter-turn anchors. The modular design makes storage easier on your back and keeps your truck ready for whatever comes next.

Easy Maintenance and Long-Term Durability: Built-In Zerk Fittings and Lube Plate Included

Keeping this hitch in top shape is straightforward thanks to two built-in zerk fittings that make lubrication quick and clean. The included plastic lube plate helps the king pin glide smoothly into position during hookup. Combined with its sturdy steel frame and limited lifetime warranty, this setup is built to last through countless miles of towing.

Video Transcript for Checking Out the Curt Q20 5th Wheel Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this Curt 5th Wheel Adapter Rails for your Chevrolet and GMC trucks that have the factory 5th wheel prep package. Now, this is a custom fit part, it is designed to fit the 2016 to 2019 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 trucks with the OEM prep package, and on a custom fit part like this, I do like to recommend for you to go to our website, use the fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle, and it'll show you if this will work for your application. Now, this will let you easily transfer your existing 5th wheel hitch from a previous truck to the new factory underbed puck equip trucks. This will convert the factory underbed system to the standard 5th wheel base rails. Now, they do use a quarter-turn anchoring system for quick installation and removal, wanna zoom in to show you a close up of that.

We're just gonna do one corner, but you'll do this at each corner, there's four corners. But basically, when you go to install this, what you'll do is pop off this clip, and then you'll rotate this handle out a quarter of a turn, and when you do that, if you noticed right down here, this tab is rotating also, so that'll open it up. You'll do that at each corner, and now, you're ready to drop this whole system right into the underbed factory system. Once you drop it in, the tabs will drop into place, you'll rotate this handle back just like that, and it rotates that tab to lock it in, and again, you'll do it at all four corners. Once you get it locked in, put your pin and clip back in, and that locks the handle in place, you're all ready to go.

You can also adjust the anchors right here, these can be adjusted to help eliminate any chucking between the legs and the underbed platform, right here you can put a wrench in here, there's a cotter pin that you can pull out, put a wrench in here, and tighten it up or loosen it, whatever you need to. Now, this does also include the four pins and clips that'll allow you to secure the 5th wheel to these adapter rails. Again, the specs on this, it is designed to fit the Chevrolet and GMC trucks with the 5th wheel prep package, capacity on this is 30,000 pounds gross towing weight capacity, and it has a 7,500 pound vertical load limit. But that should do it for the review on this Curt 5th Wheel Adapter Rails for the Chevrolet and GMC trucks with the factory 5th wheel prep package..

Representative very helpful with the order to make sure I was getting the right part of my truck. Order package well and ship on time and receive in the 3 day delivery window.
Thank you



by: Dalton 06/14/2023

The shipping was fast. Ordered late Sunday and got it by Wednesday with the free shipping.



by: Gregory06/03/2024

Don't really know how this works since the base was lost in shipment and I had to send the head back because I actually needed something that I could hook the fifth wheel to. Ended up spending quite a bit more money to resolve the matter out of town with no options.



by: Gale 12/06/2023

Installation went smoothly, havn't hooked up to trailer yet but everything seems to work smoothly. Hitch delivery was a day early.

Beefier than I needed but now I have room to grow!



by: Tom10/16/2022

Easy to assemble and install. Item is heavy gauge steel and very well constructed. Only downside is the removal and re-install of the cotter pins for adjusting the hold down locks. Small hitch pin clips would make adjustment easier.



by: Steven04/21/2024

I'll post back after a 2000 mile haul with the 40 RV. Looks good so far...
Have a great day everyone!



by: Carlos 01/23/2025

Amazing product fit perfect with no issues whats so ever being that this kit is for a none fifth wheel truck option and was able to easily install with no problems, We have owned it over a year and still looks new and works perfect we tow a 44 feet RV very often with no issue and really recommend this product hands down !!!!!



by: Joseph07/22/2023

The product worked just like it was suppose to. The only problem I had is when I took off from a stop there was a looseness. I could not tell if it was from the 5th wheel or the puck adapter. I will have to research it more.

Very easy to install Alex at etrailer is too notch

The hitch has worked very well. It is very sturdy, and I have had no problems. I would recommend this to someone with a short bed for the ability to slide the hitch.

Exactly what I ordered. Free shipping and only less than a week and it's in hand.

My hitch is working great still. Easy to use no issues.



by: Harvey04/08/2025

I previously owned the Curt A16. We needed a larger tow capacity so we purchased the A20 and decided to buy the S20 slider base as well. Too many sharp turning issues with our 6’8” Chevy standard bed HD3500 during maneuvering. The S20 slider should eliminate this issue. Also I love the design of both the A20 and S20.

  • Reese Hitch and Sidewinder Recommendation for 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 Short Bed with OEM Rail Kit
    Since we know you have a Rota-Flex pin box on your trailer we also know that there is a Sidewinder that can fit as a replacement. We do need to know more info though to determine which specific Sidewinder you need. You'll need to look for an LCI number like 1621, 1116, 1716 etc. and we'll know which is the correct fit. If you have a Lippert 1621, 1621HD or 0719 you'd want the part # RP34FR. If you have a Lippert 1116, 1716 or 0115 you'd want # RP77FR. So the other part of this that gets...

  • Adapter to Fit Curt 5th Wheel Hitch to 2019 GMC Sierra 2500 OEM Pucks
    Hey Bryan, if you have the factory gooseneck hitch in your 2019 GMC Sierra 2500 that would indicate you have the factory underbed rail kit for fifth wheel hitches too as the two rail kits are the same thing. So since you have a Curt fifth wheel hitch currently that is designed to fit above bed rails what you'd want is the Curt rail kit adapter part # C47BR which fits the OEM pucks you have and provides the type of rails your Curt hitch needs.

    Hi Nick; if you're looking for fixed legs the # CU53FR fits the 2020-2025 models while the # C16025 fits the 2016-2019. For the slider you can use the Curt S20 Slider for E16, A16, and A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # C63DR along with an adapter. If you have the 2020-2025 you need the # C88KR and if it is a 2016-2019 the # C47BR.

Instead of these models, you can use something like the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16115. If you have the prep package then you'll also need Adapter rails # C47BR. If you don't have prep package then you'll instead need Rail Kit # C16411-204.

    Yes, the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Hitch item # C16069 will fit in the factory puck system of a 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500. The base of this hitch will drop right down into the factory pucks. This hitch is recommended for trucks with the longer 8' beds or shorter bed trucks using rotating pin boxes. If you have the shorter 6-1/2' bed you will want the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Hitch w/ R24 Slider item # C16566 and the Adapter Rails item # C47BR.

Do note that these items used together will raise the height of the ball 4" between the 2-1/2" height of the Adapter and 1-1/2" of the offset ball.

  • Can B and W Patriot Slider be Adapted to 2018 GMC Sierra 2500 with OEM Pucks
    The B and W Patriot Slider hitch is an oddball hitch as it's the only one that can't be used with any of the rail kit adapters. There won't be any way to adapt it to your 2018 GMC Sierra 2500 with an OEM to fit this hitch so best option would be a new hitch like the Companion slider part # BWRVK3770.

  • Curt Fifth Wheel Hitch Installed in Bed of 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 Short Bed with OEM Rail Kit
    It's not uncommon for people to install fifth wheel hitches in the bed of their trucks like the Curt A20 for GM Rail Kits part # C16064 that you referenced. This is a solid hitch, but since your truck is a short bed you'd instead need the slider versions part # C55DR with Rails # C47BR to give you the clearance to make tight turns without the cab of your truck hitting the nose of the trailer.

    No, David I am sorry there is not. It sounds like you're describing a standard gooseneck hitch. The B&W Companion Slider item # BWRVK3400-5W can only be used with the Turnoverball system or have the base swapped out to fit in the factory puck systems with item # BWRVB3670. This base fits the Ram OEM puck system that has four mounting holes in the truck bed. The only solution I would potentially have is going to depend on what kind of gooseneck hitch your Ram truck has.

  • Is Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch Needed For 2021 Ram 2500 6-1/2 Foot Bed & Puck System
    Hi Nic, Generally yes, for a truck bed under 8 feet long like on your 2021 Ram 2500 you do need a sliding 5th wheel hitch. That said, there are 5th wheel trailers that have a tapered nose designed to allow the use of fixed 5th wheel hitches as they won't contact the cab on right turns, so if that's the type of trailer you have, then a sliding hitch isn't needed. With that in mind, the hitch I love for your 2021 Ram 2500 with the puck system is the Curt A20 due to its ease of use and...

    Hey Douglas, the Curt A20 with slider part # C55DR weighs 211 ls and the GM adapter part # C88KR weighs 88 lb. The B and W Companion Slider part # BWRVK3775 weighs 250 lbs so it weighs a little less in total. The head of this comes off pretty easy too to save weight by making a couple trips to split up the weight. The head weighs 70 lbs. Based on this it would be the easier to install and remove solution.

  • 5th Wheel Hitch for 2024 GMC 3500 AT4 Crew Cab Standard Bed 6’9”
    Hello SR. For your 2024 GMC 3500 AT4 Crew cab standard bed 6’9” with OEM Prep Package it is recommended that you have a slider hitch to ensure clearance on those tight turns. I recommend B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20K # BWRVK3775. It is rated for up 20K and has a Limited Lifetime Warranty, they have excellent customer service, and is USA made. If you are looking for something in the Curt brand another excellent option would...

  • Curt A20 Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch or Convert-A-Ball Adapter For Height
    Hi Tony; that's a good question and unequivocally the better option is the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider # C55DR. This will not only give you extra height, but won't void the warranty on your trailer frame like the Convert-A-Ball adapter does, gives you better turning clearance, and is just a more secure overall set up than what is essentially two different adapters. The # C55DR is also just a really good hitch overall with a superb interlocking jaw system for a tight...

  • 5th Wheel Rails for 2022 Ford F-350 With Curt A20
    Hi Brian; the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ford # C26ZV will fit your 2022 Ford F-350. With the rails installed you will be able to use the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C55DR. However, if you aren't 100% set on the A20, and you don't need that 20k capacity, I would consider a different hitch. I recommend looking at the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider for Ford Super Duty # BW25QR. The Patriot will give you a much better towing experience that is hard...

  • Will the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC Work w/ a Curt A20 Slider?
    Hey Darren, that's quite the gift. The Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package item # DM6333 will fit any 5th wheel hitch that attaches to industry standard rails, including the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider item # C55DR. The only exception to this is the B&W Patriot Slider item # BWRVK3270 because it sits too low and hits the adapter when sliding. Please note that the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter item # DM6333 only fits the GMC puck...

  • Recommended Base to Use a Curt 20K Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch in a Ford Factory Puck System
    Hey David! Sorry to hear about your accident. If you can salvage your Curt 20K slider, like item # C55DR, you'll need the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch item # C88KR. Most if not all of the Curt 20K's mount to industry standard rails and do not have a base option that mounts in the puck system. Now if you have the Curt A20 or Q20 slider you can use the Curt 5th Wheel Round Tube Slider for Ford Super Duty Towing Prep Package item # C16020. These are the only exceptions for the...

  • Recommended Curt Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2015 Toyota Tundra
    Hey Ron, great question. So basically unless you have a puck system in your bed which it sounds like you don't, you're going to want to steer clear of those style hitches because those are not going to work with regular 5th wheel rails. For regular rails, I'd recommend going with the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider # C55DR instead. This hitch is identical to the Q20, has the same weight ratings, and has an adjustable hitch height of 17-1/2" - 21-1/2".

  • How Can I Get My Pin Box Higher and My 5th Wheel Hitch Lower so I Can Have Level Towing?
    Hello Mike, Let’s get you level so your towing experience can be much more enjoyable. Since you have the Curt A20 slider, it’s important to note that it should not be used in combination with the Reese Revolution. You want either a sliding hitch or a rotating pin box, not both, as combining them can create unsafe towing conditions. You're on the right track with the Curt Flex Air 5th Wheel Pin Box - Lippert 1621 - 18,000 lbs # LC328492. Replacing your Revolution with the Curt will likely...

  • Comparing the Curt A20 and B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitches Jaw Systems
    Hey Heath, thanks for reaching out! The Curt A20 # C55DR and the B&W Companion # BWRVK3670 you're looking at are both excellent 5th wheel hitches, but I have to go with the Companion in this case simple because it is more robust and has a better build quality. It's true that the Companion uses dual jaws, but those guys are 1" thick jaws so they will still hold the king pin nice and securely. The Curt has the interlocking jaws (which I really like) but it just doesn't have the same quality. Please...

  • Options For Installing 5th Wheel Hitch In 2019 Ram 3500 without OEM Puck System
    They do not make an aftermarket puck system kit for your 2019 Ram 3500, so you have a few options to get a 5th wheel hitch installed. The standard way is installing above bed rails # C16430-204 to use a sliding 5th wheel hitch # C55DR if you have a 6-1/2' bed, or a fixed 5th wheel hitch # C16140 if you have an 8' bed. If having the permanently installed above bed rails is a buzz kill for you, then another option is installing the B&W Turnoverball # BWGNRK1320-5W will allow you to install...

  • 5th Wheel Rails Needed to Use a Curt Sliding Hitch on a 2019 Ford F-250 Short Bed
    The exact part that you need to use your Curt sliding 5th wheel hitch, like part # C55DR, in the short bed of your 2019 Ford F-250 depends on if you have the OEM prep package or not. If you do have the OEM prep package then you simply need the Elite Series Underbed Rail Adapter # RP30156 which drops into your puck system. If you don't have the OEM prep package you need a base rail kit like part # RP50074-58 which doesn't require drilling for the install. Both of these options give you...

  • Availability of Aftermarket Puck System for 2023 GMC Sierra 2500
    At this time, the Curt # C16429-204 above bed rails are the only confirmed fit for the 2023 GMC Sierra 2500. This would allow you to use a 5th wheel hitch like the # C55DR if you have a short bed or # C16140 for a long bed. For an underbed system, it may be possible to use the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1020. However, B&W only has reports of some customers and dealers successfully installing the hitch so we cannot guarantee it will fit. This would allow...

  • Can The Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch Fit In The Bed Of A 2023 GMC Sierra 2500
    The Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter # AM3200 would technically fit in the bed of your 2023 GMC Sierra 2500 if it had base rails, but with the bed not being a full 8' you might run into some turning clearance issues. You would want to use a hitch with a slider base like the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider # C55DR. This hitch can slide back 12" in the maneuvering position to allow for more clearance during tight turns so that you don't...

  • Can A Curt A20 Be Used In Both Long And Short Bed Trucks With OEM Ford Puck System?
    This is basically just the way our fit guide is set up. We will always recommend a fixed hitch (non slider) like the Curt A20 # C16140 for trucks with an 8' bed. We recommend a sliding hitch like the Curt A20 slider # C55DR for the 6-3/4' bed like yours. The Ford puck system will be identical for long bed and short bed models. We just recommend the slider for short bed, and fixed hitch for long bed. We recommend sliders for short bed to gain additional clearance on tight turns. In many...

  • Tips for Choosing the Best Truck to Tow a 5th Wheel Trailer
    Starting with the truck series itself, I would go with a 3/4 ton or 1 ton. Ultimately a 1-ton would be better. Between gas and diesel I would choose a diesel if it were me. They are capable of more power and torque than gas motors. The cab style does not matter all that much but the bed size does. You will want to avoid a step side bed and a Dodge model that has a Rambox feature because they cannot have a 5th wheel hitch installed. Long beds are the way to go. A short bed can cause issues...
