This hitch is built from heavy-duty steel and rated for 30,000 lbs GTW with a 7,500 lbs vertical load limit, giving it the strength to handle demanding fifth-wheel setups. The carbide powder coat finish helps it resist wear from weather and road grime so it stays dependable through the miles. It’s a solid build that inspires confidence every time you hook up for a long haul.
The rounded, interlocking two-piece jaws wrap completely around the king pin for full 360-degree contact. That tight connection cuts down on rattle and movement compared to slide-bar designs, keeping towing quiet and steady even on rough stretches. The result is a hitch that feels planted and secure when you’re covering serious distance with a heavy trailer behind you.
The 3-point color system makes it easy to see your hitch status from the cab: red means uncoupled, yellow means ready to couple, and green means you’re locked in for towing. The handle locks in place and then resets automatically once you uncouple, so it’s ready for the next hookup without extra steps. It’s a simple visual check that adds peace of mind to every start.
The cast yoke and poly-torsion inserts absorb shock loads and cut down on noise for a smoother ride. The head pivots naturally to help with controlled coupling and more stable towing over uneven terrain. Combined with the included polyethylene lube plate that lets the king pin glide smoothly into the jaws, this setup makes each trip quieter and easier from hookup to destination.
When it’s time to free up your truck bed, the Curt A30 breaks down fast. Just pull a single pin to remove the head—it’s designed so one person can handle it. The modular setup makes storage simpler without needing tools or extra gear, ideal for anyone who switches between hauling duty and everyday use.

Definitely a substantial piece of equipment, easy to install although the instructions were somewhat lacking. Quality is excellent and the unit is nice looking. Confident it can handle any 5th wheel unit.
I love this double jaw hitch. Looks good and seems to be more secure.
I've owned this hitch for about a year and pulled an 18K lb Toy Hauler nearly 5000 miles. The hitch has worked flawless, and it's easy to separate into two pieces to remove from the bed when necessary.
Great hitch! Straightforward install. Smooth operation.
Haven’t towed with it yet, but assembly was pretty straight forward. Seems well built and can’t wait to hook up to the 5th wheel and hit the road!
Awesome company...awesome service...and absolutely love the Curt A30. Overkill for our 18,000 pound trailer, but that's the way I roll.
Purchased for use in a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado. Installation was straight forward. I towed a 35 ft 5th wheel travel trailer about 12,000 miles over 3 months and never had any problems.
Our hitch arrived quickly in less than a week! Assembly was straight forward. Some larger hand tools are needed for proper assembly along with a torque wrench.
Rebecca was very helpful and considerate in helping with problem. I needed a fifth wheel hitch for a 2020 standard box silverado w/pucks. She called Curt and got the right item since it was so new. Great item and a snap to put together and so nice to have the pucks and no rails.
Love my A30 hitch. You and the rest of the etrailer team did an outstanding job delivering this part. I also bought my Flexair pin box for you. You guys have EXCELLENT customer service!!! Lewis
Great Product, Fair Price and easy to I nstall.
The hitch arrived on time. Installation went fairly well. The only drawback was with the written and video installation instructions provided by Curt. The instruction manual and video fails to provide clear guidance on the bolt washer arrangement. There appears to be a standard package of bolts and nuts that must be used with other setups that Curt has and this leads to questioning exactly what you are supposed to do: use the nut, don't use the nut, lock washer with the nut, lockwasher on the bolt side. I went with using the nut (even though the video or manual addresses this) since it provides an additional capture mechanism and torquing a bolt into a plate with the forces that will be experienced by the hitch did not make sense. The first use went great.
We received the product couple days ago. Looked at it closer this morning. Everything appears to be intact. It is definitely heavier and more solid built than I had anticipated from the pictures shown. Ordered a new truck about four weeks ago. Hopefully it comes sooner than later with the Covid delays, so that we can try this bad boy out!
Here is what I like about this hitch .... 30 K rating. Well in excess of the 21,000 pounds or so that I will be pulling. Added safety factor. The head separates from the body and legs, with one pin, which will make it easier to take in and out of the box. The fully articulating head and king pin clamp should make for a smooth operation without much noise. The legs came in a separate box. If the hitch ever goes in a different vehicle, I am thinking that legs should be able to be purchased to accommodate that set up and still use the rest of the hitch. The hitch actually has an appealing look to it. A lot or even most hitches are kind of ugly. I believe the hitch is completely, 100% USA made. I cannot give an opinion on actual use until such a time that our truck arrives. Some people said that the packaging was poor and the box basically disintegrated in transit. Ours, however, arrived in good shape. There was foam inside of the box for cushioning and a secondary box inside the main hitch box.
Perfect fit for my 2020 Chevrolet dually. Smaller than the previous one I had in the 2018. This hitch is awesome. Easy to install and works like a pro. Thank you Lori.
Absolutely love this hitch. So smooth you almost forget the trailer is back there. Had an old Curt for years think it was the Q24 that I like but this new design with added head movement is fantastic. Great hitch! And thanks etrailer for the fast shipping. Got it super quick considering covid era so great job guys!
I’ve had this hitch for a year now and I like it a lot. The indicator on the front is nice it tells you when it’s locked in and when it isn’t right. The hitch works good and I like how small it is and is easy to remove when I need the full bed.
Works as it should. Prior to installing this hitch I had never touched a 5th wheel hitch. This hitch is designed to work on GMC/Chevy with trailer prep package. Well they did a great job. I went from hitch in the crate to hitch installed in less than 30 minutes. I would caution that you may need help lifting hitch into bed of truck, hitch is heavy.
E trailer you rock!!! Right on time as always
I haven't seen the hitch because it is at the dealer being installed. What is great is the unbelievable fast delivery. From Salt Lake City to my dealer in Hemet, California in a little over two days. Wow. I have never been disappointed in etrailer for their products and fast delivery. Highly recommended.
