Features to know about
Built to Tow with Confidence: 20,000 lbs GTW and 5,000 lbs Vertical Load Limit
The Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch with S20 Slider is built from sturdy steel and rated for 20,000 lbs gross towing weight with a 5,000 lbs vertical load limit. It’s made for serious towing—heavy campers, toy haulers, and RVs that need a solid connection. The carbide powder coat finish holds up against wear and rust, while the interlocking jaw design and torsion head give you a ride that feels stable and secure mile after mile.
Stay Locked In and Ready: Interlocking Dual Jaw + Color-Coded Indicator
The interlocking two-piece jaw wraps completely around the king pin for 360-degree contact. That tight fit cuts down on rattle and movement so your trailer feels steady and quiet behind you. The color-coded three-point indicator system shows you at a glance whether you’re uncoupled (red), ready to couple (yellow), or locked in for towing (green). You can check it from the cab or from the side of the truck, giving instant confidence that everything’s connected the way it should be.
Smooth Turning in Tight Spots: Non-Binding S20 Slider with 12" Travel
For slow-speed turns where clearance matters, the non-binding S20 slider gives you up to 12" of fore/aft travel. It automatically latches in both directions, so you can get the space you need between cab and trailer when maneuvering into campsites or parking lots. The quiet slider design keeps things stable while still letting the hitch move where it needs to during tight turns.
Easy Setup and Quick Removal: Drop-In Puck Adapter and One-Pin Head Release
Installation is straightforward—just drop the base into your factory puck receivers and pin it into place using the included rail adapter. When it’s time to remove it, pull one pin and lift off the head for easier handling. Two built-in zerk fittings make lubrication simple, and the included plastic lube plate helps the king pin glide smoothly into position during hookup. With height adjustment from 17-1/2" to 21-1/2", you can dial in your setup for a level, secure tow every time.

Video Transcript for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch Adapter Rails Review
What's up everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna checking out via Curt Adapter. Now it's for OEM puck systems in the bed. So it's gonna take the underbed puck system make it a overed puck system. That way you can attach your fifth wheel to this and use the one you have already. Let's check it out.
It's gonna be really good if you already have a fifth wheel that you used in roller truck, you wanna transfer it over to this system. It doesn't drop in the puck, or you just wanna upgrade to a different one that also works above bed. That's what this is gonna do. It's gonna convert the puck system to an above bed system and you just drop it in any of these tabs here right away. I wanna show you how easy it is to operate.
So I'm gonna pull the clip and the pen. This is a lever that's gonna turn this portion to let you lift it up and outta the pucks, and I gotta do it on all four sides, but it's really easy to do compared to some of the other adapters I've worked with. There was the Reese one that I've also used but it has the longer arms that pin here in the center and that can be kind of cumbersome to bring those all the way out here and out of the way to unlock it from the pucks. These are shorter handles, so you just push it out makes it far easier. It does clear everything right here.
You don't have to go for that long lever style. So now it's unlocked. I can just lift it up and out of the pucks. It's like our back one's stuck, so I gotta get that lever in the right spot, that easy to do. Now it's up and out of the pucks and we can take it out of the truck.
Installations just as easy. Make sure you got those levers in the correct spot. You see that this portion that goes down into the puck is lined up with it. You just lift it up. Drop it in. Now you might only get one or two of them in. Then you can come over here and adjust. Very easy to come down. I also like that there's plenty of room in between the bend and the bottom of the bar so you don't have to worry about smashing my hands when I'm dropping into place. Once it's lined up in place, you can pull the lever back over. It should go over there. That's gonna lock it in and then we'll put our pin and clip right there in the hole. The way it locks in those pucks is gonna help prevent chucking. I'm gonna try and shake it back and forth. You see it'll move a little bit, but not a whole lot. I'm really shaking the whole truck versus what's gonna move on the fifth wheel, the whole thing has a durable carbate black product oak finished. So if you leaving it in the back of the truck you don't have to worry about the elements bothering it at all. The tabs where you drop the fifth wheel legs in so this is gonna be what kind of fifth wheel spread will work with the adapter. It's gonna go from the furthest ones out. It's gonna be 29 inches center to center. The next one's in it's gonna be 21 inches center to center and then here's gonna be 10 inches center to center. So that should help you decide if your setup's gonna work with the adapter or not. Another thing to think about about is it is gonna add three inches to the bed so that means it's gonna bring your fifth wheel head up three more inches. Just keep that in mind when you're doing your setup. Overall, I really like this adapter. Like I said, it was easier to use than some of the other ones I have used. These quarter turn latches here and drop in the pucks. Make it really easy to get in into place or get it out of here when you want it out and it's gonna help convert that underbed system to an over bed system to using over bed fifth wheel. Well. I think that does it. Thanks for hanging out. I hope this helps..

I decided to order this adapter because I bought a new truck and wanted to use the 5th wheel I had. Fred at etrailer was a tremendous help. He took the time to go through everything and find the right one and explained it all very well. Believe me, I was very skeptical on ordering but Fred assured me this would work on my 2025 Ram. I was pleasantly shocked when I got it and everything went right into place. Very easy to install. Thank you so much Fred for all of your help!!

Easy to install, took me about 45 minutes. Be sure to put your hitch in place before tightening the 8 bolts. It does sit pretty high so will need to adjust 5th wheel hitch to accommodate the extra height when compared to the older style bed rails.
I have a Curt A16 5th wheel hitch and a Curt gooseneck plate. Both of these fit perfectly. Definitely much cheaper than having to buy new 5th wheel hitch and new gooseneck ball for the puck system. Saved me about $1400

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.

I bought a 2023 Ram 3500 that had the factory pucks in it, so I needed this adapter so I could continue using my B&W Patriot hitch. This fit my truck perfectly and my hitch fits this adapter perfectly. Even better than it fit the rails in my old truck, actually. This does raise the hitch probably an inch higher that it was, so be aware of that. One part of the instructions is out of order. How to adjust the locking mechanism is at the very end. You need to adjust each one as you go. Other than that, it was very intuitive and easy to put together. I did use a little blue Loctite on the nuts, but that's me. This thing is beefy. I'm sure it will last a long time.

it fit perfectly in my RAM 2500 2022 , it reduce the height by 3.5 inch from my original roller Curt set up, since I have air suspension in the back I will simply said be careful when you disconnect because the back of the pick up spring upward when load is removed. The reason I switch was the high of the roller sytem and the puck was way too high for my fifth wheel.

Not very happy with this product. With the hitch mounted to this rail, you could feel the play between the rail and the hitch every time I braked or accelerated I ended up selling it at a severe loss. It will get you out of a bind, but if you are looking at this for long term, just buy the hitch made for the puck system.

Heavier than expected (95#) shipping weight. Which is a good thing. The description probably said that but I didn’t pay attention. The only warning I would give I’d that this with add 3.25” or so of height to your hitch. If you don’t have the adjustment in your set up you may want to look for something a little lower profile. I’m happy with the purchase and very happy with etrailer. Very fast shipping and good prices.

view full answer... - Recommended Anderson Ultimate Hitch for a 2018 Ram 3500 w/ the Factory Puck System Hey Sam! If your Ram truck has the factory puck system you won't need a set of rails to install an Anderson Hitch. The Andersen Aluminum Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection 2 Gooseneck version item # 3220 will attach directly to the gooseneck ball. If you're looking at one that attaches to 5th wheel rails you'll have to use the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch item # C29BR. This adapter connects to the factory pucks and provides a platform to attach a 5th wheel hitch. What kind of 5th...

First we have the Adapter Rails # C29BR which fit into the pucks and give you the ISR mounting points. Do note this will raise the hitch 2" so you will likely need to lower the height of the hitch. The next option is replacing your ISR Base # C16907 with the Ram Base # C16021 so you can install the hitch directly into the factory...

If you have the PullRite 2900 that fits the GM puck system there's no adapter available that will make it work in the Ram puck system. Additionally, the bases are not interchangeable so you would need to purchase the PullRite SuperGlide 5th Wheel Hitch for Ram Factory Prep Package item # PUL28RR you were looking at. If your 2900 PullRite SuperGlide our item # PUL63RR fits industry standard rails there is an adapter that will make it fit the Ram factory...

You will start by adding the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch # C29BR which mounts in the puck system. Then with the adapter rails, you will be able to use the Curt Spyder Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails # 16085. This setup will avoid any drilling to add a standard gooseneck hitch or 5th wheel rails to mount an adapter. What are you towing with the Ram?

I’m assuming you have an 8' bed since you were looking at a stationary hitch rather than a slider (if it’s a 6-3/4' bed, it’s usually recommended to go with a slider hitch to help with sharp turns). It sounds like you might already have the hitch and are looking to install it in the truck. If that’s the case and you do have the puck system, you’ll...

- Will a B&W Companion Slider Work w/ a Round Gooseneck Hitch?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. If you could get...

view full answer... - Is Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch Needed For 2021 Ram 2500 6-1/2 Foot Bed & Puck SystemHi 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...

The hitch included in the Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch w/ S20 Slider for Ford and Chevy/GMC Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20K # C58ZJ will fit standard rails, but this kit also includes an adapter that will allow it to fit Ford and Chevy/GMC pucks (the # C88KR). With that being said, if you are only needing the hitch and not the adapter, we do have that with the following part: Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs # C55DR If you don't already have rails...

view full answer... - Lighter Weight Slider Fifth Wheel Hitch Solution for 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 Short BedHey 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.

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...
view full answer... - Curt A20 Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch or Convert-A-Ball Adapter For HeightHi 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...

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...
view full answer... - 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...

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...

view full answer... - 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".

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...
view full answer... - 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 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 2500At this time, the Curt # C16429-204 above bed rails are the only confirmed fit for the 2023 GMC Sierra 2500.

For an underbed system, it may be possible to use the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1020.

You would want to use a hitch with a slider base like the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider # C55DR.

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.

view full answer... - Tips for Choosing the Best Truck to Tow a 5th Wheel TrailerStarting 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...
