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 An In-Depth Look at 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 the Chevrolet and GMC trucks. Now, this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 1999 to 2010 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500, 2500 and 3500 models, with either the six and a half foot bed or the eight foot bed. 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. That'll show you if this will work for your application.

Now these brackets right here, they are designed to mount beneath your truck bed to provide the attachment point for your fifth wheel rails. Now those fifth wheel rails, we do sell separately on our website. They go by part number C16104 or C16204. And just give you an idea what those rails look like, they come in a set of two, and again, they'll attach to these mounting brackets on your vehicle. This provides a custom fit by mounting to the existing holes in your vehicle's frame.

That will minimize the amount of drilling that's required to install these, and it'll cut the installation time in half when compared with universal bracket kits. If you notice, it does include all the necessary hardware to install it. It does even come with this nice extra bracket for relocation of the electrical box. And it comes with a nice set of instructions with pictures that'll describe how these parts install. The finish on these brackets is a nice black powder coat finish to resist corrosion.

And these will work with the BMW, CURT, Draw-Tite, 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..

  • What is The Maximum Towing Capacity of a 2006 Chevy Silverado
    To determine the maximum trailer weight capacity you can tow with your 2006 Chevy Silverado, you will need take your Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) and subtract that by the the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of your truck from the (GCWR) that will give you the maximum Gross Trailer Weight (GTW). This can all be found on the information tag located inside the driver door jamb. As long as the maximum towing capacity of your truck is higher than the gross trailer weight of your 5th wheel,...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch Base Rails for a 2004 GMC Sierra 2500
    Hey Austin! The correct set of 5th wheel rails for a 2004 GMC Sierra 2500 are going to be the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC item # C16418-204. This set of rails is industry standard which means it will work with most 5th wheel hitches on the market. The brackets are custom fit and install in pre-existing holes in your Sierra's frame. I have linked an installation video below so you can see how to get them installed. To make towing with a 5th wheel easier, I recommend...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch and Rail Kit for 2001 Chevy 2500HD
    For your 2001 Chevy 2500 HD, your towing capacity for a 5th wheel is based on the Gross Combined Weight Rating. Your truck will have a sticker in the driver's door frame that states the GVWR of your truck. For your 5th Wheel, I recommend beginning with the custom rail kit # C16418-204. This kit will give you custom brackets to allow you to mount the brackets to your frame with only the need to drill one hole in the frame on each side. The other holes are already in the frame that...

  • How to Increase Cab Clearance When Towing a 5th Wheel Trailer with a 2004 GMC Sierra 6-1/2 Bed
    In order to choose a replacement pin box for your '89 Featherlite Holiday Rambler you can either look for a pin box number on your current pin box (like 1621 or 0719 for example) but if you can't locate a number the next best thing to do is take measurements of your pin box. If you can measure the width, distance from the center of the king pin to the first set of installed bolts, and then the distance between bolt holes horizontally and vertically I can use the table from the linked helpful...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel and Rails for a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Dually
    Henry, it sounds like you're looking for something like the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16180 with the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC # C16418-204. This hitch has a 25k capacity, is made by Curt, and will work great with your toy hauler. Ideally I'd say you do no drilling to install the rails but for what you're looking for the best we can do is the semi-custom install kit which will require less drilling than a universal hitch but still some drilling....

  • Slider Base Recommendation to Convert Curt E16 Hitch to a Slider
    Sounds like you are looking for a slider base to fit the Curt E16 hitch that you have. For that you'd want the part # C16560 and you'd be set. You'd just need to remove the head off of your current hitch and bolt it to this slider base.

    Hey Eric. To add a set of 5th wheel rails to your 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500, I recommend the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC item # C16418-204.

    The Reese universal installation kit # RP30035 will accept your 14K Reese 5th wheel trailer hitch. This kit does fit your 2002 Chevy Silverado unless it is a 1500HD long bed but we do not have a video on that particular truck. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view. If you do have a 1500HD you can use a custom installation kit like # C16418-204. Even though this is a Curt brand installation kit it is still compatible with your Reese hitch.

    Hey Hunter! I am really curious what those 5th wheel rails are attached to that you say are already installed. To answer your question though, the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit item # C16418 is what you'll need for your 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500HD. They are custom fit for both the 6-1/2' and 8' bed lengths. These are part of the Curt item # C16418-204, which is the full 5th rail kit.

    The rails are all made to the same specs for the most part as far as how the hitches fit into them but as far as how they attach to the brackets under the truck bed they are different enough that they are not interchangeable. The two most common kits for your 2008 Chevy Silverado 2500HD are the Reese part # RP50064-58 and the Curt # C16418-204 which you can check out and let me know if either brackets match what you have.

  • Is There a Sidewinder Available for a Leland 7930 Pin Box
    I do have a possible solution for you but there is not a rotating pin box available like a Reese Sidewinder for the Leland 7930. Therefore, your only option if you want to tow said trailer is to use a sliding 5th wheel hitch with as much travel as possible. The Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16521 is a good option for this as it offers 12" of front to back travel. In order to install this on a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 you can then use the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation...

These rails are compatible with Husky 5th wheel trailer hitches. I have included a link to the installation details below.

I've attached a diagram below showing the spacing of the rails. For a 1999 Chevy Silverado 2500 you would need the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC # C16418-204.

If your 2008 GMC Sierra is a 1500 or a 2500 Light Duty then you can use Curt installation kit # C16400-204. If it is a 2500HD or a 3500 then use # C16418-204. Custom installation kits are preferred because you won't have to drill into the truck frame for installation. They also take less time to install.

    We can't recommend the mixing of fifth wheel brackets and rail manufacturers. If you have Reese rails you would want a set of Reese brackets.

Looks like lowest configuration is 9,600 lb towing capacity and highest 13,000 lb. I'd recommend confirming this with your owners manual or local GM dealer though.

    The towing capacity for your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and your 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 are going to vary greatly depending on options but can be as high as 8,900 lbs. The best way to find out what the exact towing capacity is for either Chevrolet Silverado is to compare the options that you have to the chart listed on page 4-70 to 4-75 of your owner's manual.

    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...

  • 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...
