Features to know about
Rated for Heavy-Duty Towing: 30,000 lbs GTW and 7,500 lbs Vertical Load Limit
This hitch is built for serious towing jobs with a 30,000-lb gross towing weight and a 7,500-lb vertical load limit. The sturdy steel construction and carbide powder coat finish give it the muscle and durability you want when pulling heavy fifth wheels across long distances. Every piece of this hitch—from the cast steel main body to the precise interlocking jaws—feels solid and ready to work.
Locked In Tight and Easy to Read: Dual Interlocking Jaws with 3-Point Color Indicator
The interlocking 2-jaw system wraps fully around the king pin for 360-degree contact, cutting out the rattle and movement you get with slide-bar hitches. The color-coded indicator tells you exactly where you stand—red for uncoupled, yellow for ready to couple, and green when it’s safe to tow. Both indicators are easy to see, even from the cab, so you know at a glance that you’re locked in.
Quiet Ride on Rough Roads: Fully Articulating Torsion Head with Poly-Torsion Inserts
This hitch’s torsion head flexes naturally with the trailer to smooth out bumps and dips. The poly-torsion inserts help suppress road shock and cut down on noise, giving you a stable, quiet ride even on long hauls. You’ll feel less chucking through the seat and more control through every turn and grade.
Quick Removal When You Need Your Bed Back: One-Pin Head Release with Quarter-Turn Anchors
When it’s time to clear your truck bed, the one-pin head removal makes it simple for one person to lift off the top section. The quarter-turn anchoring system drops into or lifts out of the factory receivers fast, no tools needed. The polyethylene lube plate keeps things moving smoothly so hookup stays easy every time.
Built for Practical Setup and Maintenance: Adjustable Height and Easy Grease Access
You get three height adjustment positions with up to 4" of range to dial in a level towing setup. Two built-in zerk fittings make lubricating straightforward without tearing things apart. From assembly to daily use, everything about this hitch is designed to be strong, predictable, and easy to maintain so you can focus on the drive ahead.

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.

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.

Absolutely love this hitch. So smooth you almost forget the trailer is back there.

Got it super quick considering covid era so great job guys!

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.

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.

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.

See what our Experts say about this CURT 5th Wheel Hitch
- Will Curt A30 Fixed Hitch Work Well in 2025 GMC Sierra 3500 with OEM Pucks Short BedHey Fred, so the Curt A30 hitch part # C16070 is a really solid hitch that does fit the OEM pucks of your 2025 GMC Sierra 3500 and you'll really like. Whether or not it will allow for turning clearance is going to be based on the nose of the trailer you have. If you have a trailer with a tapered nose you'll be fine but if it's a full 8 foot wide square nose then you'll need to stick with a slider.
view full answer... - Is Reese M5 Available for 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500There are a few reasons why you are having problems finding the Reese M5 hitch as a fit for your 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500. The first is that it looks like you input that you have a 6-3/4' bed with the OEM Prep Package. While that is an excellent option, Reese hasn't released a sliding M5 hitch as of yet (March 2020). We do have the 20K M5 # RP30928 that fits standard base rails but you'll need the adapter # DM6333 to make it compatible and we only really recommend stationary hitches...
view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Recommendation for 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 with OEM Rail KitThe hitch I recommend for your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 long bed is the B and W Companion part # BWRVK3715 which has a 25k capacity. This USA made hitch has the highest quality, ease of use, and overall reliability. It's also made in the USA and easily breaks down into smaller sections to make installing/removing a bit easier.

Something else you won't find on any other brand hitch is the 3-point indicator system that quickly lets you know...
view full answer... - Will The Curt A30 C16070 Work On A 2025 GMC 2500HD With 6-3/4' BedHello Robert, thanks for reaching out. The Curt A30 # C16070 can be used on your 2025 GMC 2500HD with the 6-3/4' bed. As far as turning clearance, typically the 5th wheels with the tapered noses are designed with turning clearance in mind, so a slider would not be needed. That said, every truck and trailer combination is different so I cannot give you a 100% guarantee that you would be able to make a full 90 degree turn but with the 6-3/4' bed and the rounded nose your SHOULD be fine.

The main difference between the Curt A30 item # C16070 and the Curt PowerRide item # C36WR for your 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 is the Wear Plates item # C52WR.

- Comparing B&W Companion and Curt PowerRide 5TH Wheels Hitches For 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 Puck SystemI recommend using the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3715 for your 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 with the in bed factory prep/puck system. This hitch is made in the USA and B&W has great attention to detail. While the PowerRide # C36WR looks like a great hitch I have never been a fan of the integrated Wear Plates # C52WR. They are specific to the one hitch and when they become damaged they may be difficult to find on a trip. And as I have seen with other manufacturers if they discontinue...

The built in lube plates help to ensure that you protect the hitch from getting marred up when connecting to the 5th wheel. And unlike some other manufactures the mounting location for the hardware in a good location. I would recommend keeping a spare set or 2 of the Wear Plates # C52WR in the event that they become damaged since they will not be as easily sourced as a standard lube plate. I do like...

The Curt A30 is currently the highest rated fifth wheel hitch we offer for a 2020 GMC Sierra 3500. The adjustment range of 13" - 17" should be able to level the trailer but if not there are adjustments you can make to the pin box or worse case lift the trailer.

This is not intended to be installed while driving. Another option is the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Cover, # RP30055 that is 18" x 28" and covers the hitch head only. This can be better made to cover and stay in place while driving.
view full answer... - How To Determine The Correct 5th Wheel Hitch HeightTo determine the correct height for your Curt A30 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # C16070 installed on your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500HD, you'll want to measure from the top of your truck bed floor to the ground, then measure from the plate of the pin box on the trailer down to the ground when the trailer is on level ground. The difference of those two measurements is the correct hitch height you're going to need.
view full answer... - Suggestions For Helping with 5th Wheel Chucking with 2021 Forest River 2621WS Ultra-LiteI'll start out by saying that this is going to be fairly normal with a trailer that size and there's really not a way to completely eliminate chucking; additionally there aren't adjustments on the hitch or trailer that can be made to help curb this. However, there are components that are better suited to help reduce the effects than others and if you wanted to go about trying to reduce this as much as possible there are 2 routes you could go. Without knowing the exact hitch you're using,...

- Recommended Grease For Item # C16070Your Curt A30 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Item # C16070 has a zerk fitting on each side of the jaw. A high temperature wheel bearing grease can be used for lubrication. I recommend Item # L11465.

The head unit is nearly 100 lbs with the legs making up the rest of the weight. And while it's heavy, there is a 1-pin removal system for the head unit to make it somewhat easier to remove the hitch from your truck bed, though a helper would likely be a good idea. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well of the Curt...

A hitch like the Curt A30 # C16070 is designed to fit in 8 foot beds in both the 2020 Chevy prep package and the 2021 Chevy prep package, so if you've got a hitch that fits in a 2020 Chevy/GMC OEM prep package then it will also fit in the 2021- the same is true for hitches that fit in the 6-3/4 foot beds. I've also linked all of the hitches that can potentially fit in the 6-3/4 foot and 8 foot long versions of these trucks equipped with the OEM prep package for you to look through...

The Curt A30 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch has the highest weight capacity available of 30,000 lbs so you know it will last and you never have to worry about maxing out the hitch.
