Features:
Specs:
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.
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).
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.

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..
It was a very easy install, only took about 20 min. Easy setup to my campers and worked very well while towing.
Easy to install and remove, i wish the clamp down levers moved a bit easier as i catch mu knuckles sometimes.
Other wise its great
Nice hitch
Works well on my 2021 3500HD crew cab standard bed. I have never had any issues with turning clearance. All in all I am pleased with it and would buy it again.
It is installed in my pickup but due to my wife's illness I have not taken the trailer out, but soon
The hitch came in two separate packages, the legs and the head unit. The head unit was not In any type of box and had shipping label taped to it. I did not receive and hardware and was missing the pull handle. I am sure that this was a failure on UPS and not etrailer. I called customer service and they got the matter resolved.
VERY POOR DIRECTIONS BUT I GOT IT DONE
I called to the technician line for help my hitch had to be set after disengaging. I have to pull the handle back and hear a click or I cannot get a proper lock. The technician said to lube it and was not very professional. He didn't suggest it could be anything other than that. His remedy didn't work so I have to set the lock to hook up.
Received rails and hardware packaged very well
