A20 Two-Piece Interlocking JawA20 Two-Piece Interlocking Jaw

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.


Three-Point Indicator System

A20 Color 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).

Video Transcript for What to Know About the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails

Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the CURT Universal Carbide Black Finish Fifth Wheel Base Rails. Now, these base rails will install in your truck bed. And they provide the necessary attachment points for your fifth wheel hitch installation. Now, when these rails are used with the CURT's Custom Mounting Brackets, which we sell separate on a website, these rails will cut in half the time it takes to install your fifth wheel trailer hitch.

We mentioned the finish on this. I'm gonna zoom in and sort of show it. It's a carbide black finish, sort of like a matte black finish, so it matches the finish if you use it on the CURT Q5 20K Fifth Wheel Hitch. Now, these rails are universal, so they will work with the following fifth wheel hitches. They work with the CURT brand, the Draw-Tite, the Hidden Hitch, the Reese, and even the Husky.

This part here will include the two base rails. Now, we mentioned the mounting brackets, the custom mounting brackets, the hardware, and an installation kit is all sold separately. The length on these rails, if we put a tape measure on them from one end to the other, right at 43 inches long. But that should do it for the review on the CURT Universal Carbide Black Finish Fifth Wheel Base Rails.

  • Recommended 5th-Wheel Hitch that is Easily Removed on 2014 Ram 1500
    Choosing the right 5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch for your 2014 Ram 1500 will depend first on the weight of the trailer you plan on towing. You will want to make sure the truck and hitch have weight capacities that exceed the trailer's loaded weight. Since your Ram 1500 has a short 5-1/2 foot bed, the safest way to tow a trailer is to use a stationary 5th-wheel hitch and replace the pin box on the trailer with a Sidewinder, if it does not have one already. The Sidewinder will be required to add...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch and Rail Kit for 2016 Ram 1500
    The Jayco Eagle Superlight is rated at GVWR of 10,200 lbs. There are only certain combinations of a 2016 Ram 1500 4x4 with 5.7L Hemi that will pull that much weight. Here are the 4x4 combinations that work: Quad cab 6ft 4 inch box with 3.92 axle ratio Standard Cab 8 foot box with 3.92 axle ratio If you are 10 lbs light of complete capacity fully loaded, you can also use the Crew Cab 5 ft 7 inch box with 3.92 axle ratio. For a 5th wheel rail kit and hitch, I recommend the Curt Custom...

    While the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter w/ Offset # CAB-C5GX1216 is compatible with the 4" Offset Ball # BWGNXA4685 do note this will void your chassis warranty and possibly any other warranties on your 5th wheel camper.

  • Curt 5th Wheel Hitch Install Kit Frame Brackets for a 2017 Ram 1500
    Let's first make sure you have the correct frame bracket kit for your truck. Brackets # C16420 will fit 2003 to present Ram 2500/3500 STD and Quad Cab models including duallies with overload springs as well as 2006 to 2008 MegaCab 1500 models with 6 foot bed and 2500/3500 models. If you have a 2017 Ram 1500 then it would not fit your truck. You will instead need # C16444 if you need the brackets and hardware only. Or # C16444-204 for the complete kit that also includes the rails.

  • 5th Wheel Rail Kit for a 2014 Ram 1500 w/ Air Suspension
    The Curt 5th Wheel Rail Kit item # C16444-204 does fit multiple models of the 2014 Ram 1500 and is compatible with aftermarket air suspension kits. To make hooking up your 5th wheel easier I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector - 7' Long item # C56070. This harness plugs into your Ram's OEM port to provide you with a 7-way connector in the bed of your truck. You will also be able to keep the one at your bumper.

    I have another option for you, but unless the rails you are looking at are out of 2017 Ram 1500 you will need different rails. Assuming that the hitch is the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Single Jaw - Above Bed - 13,000 lbs # DM8550040 that uses the above bed industry standard rails I recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit - Carbide Finish # C16444-204 which are confirmed to fit your 2017 Ram 1500.

    The Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter - 20,000 lbs # AM3200 will work on your 2018 Ram 1500 with industry standard bed rails. For your bed rails I recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16444-204. This is a custom fit for your truck and is compatible with or without factory air suspension.

    For your Husky 5th wheel hitch and 2018 Ram 1500 with 5ft 5 inch bed, I recommend you use the Curt Custom fit 5th wheel rail kit # C16444-204 which will help you to install the rails in the correct location. The rear rail's back edge will be 29 inches from the rear edge of the truck bed (not tailgate edge). I've attached a photo from the attached installation details to assist. The combination of the rails, your hitch and the Sidewinder will work well together for your application. I...

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Ram 1500
    There is a great option to tow a fifth wheel trailer with your 2017 Ram 1500, and I highly recommend the Curt A20 because it is extremely reliable and easy to use. The correct hitch will depend on if you have a short bed or a long bed; if your '17 Ram 1500 has a 6-1/2 foot bed you will need a sliding hitch, the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R20 Slider # C16541 or if you have a long bed you will need a fixed hitch, the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16140. The A20 has an interlocking...

    I do have options for you but they do not make any under-bed mounting kits for your 2015 Ram 1500 with the 5-1/2' bed. I recommend taking a look at the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16120. This hitch has a 16,000 lb weight capacity for heavy duty towing, a two jaw locking system for maximum jaw to kingpin contact, and a fully articulating torsion head for easy hookups. It also has built-in zerk fittings which allows for easy lubrication. In order to install this hitch in the...

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Compatibility With A 2017 Ram 1500 8 Bed
    The fifth wheel hitch will fit as long as you have an industry standard base rail in your new truck. If you're needing to get rails for your new truck I recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit - Carbide Finish Item # C16444-204. They are compatible with B&W, Curt, Demco, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, Reese, and Valley 5th-wheel hitches and since they are a custom fit the brackets will mount to the existing holes in your vehicle's frame.

    Because of obstructions where the rear frame brackets would mount, the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit, part # C16100 won't work on your 2015 Ram 1500. You'd need to use a kit with rear brackets to fit around the obstruction, part # C16306-204. The kit uses industry standard bed rails, which are compatible with Reese, Curt, Valley, and Husky hitches, among others. You will need to drill into the frame for this installation.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch For 2015 Ram 1500 With Eco Diesel
    When towing a 5th wheel trailer with a truck that has less than an 8 foot bed, clearance issues can arise. Since your Ram has a 6 1/2 foot bed I recommend using a hitch that has a slider base. Whenever you need to make a tight turn it will allow you to slide the hitch back towards the tailgate and give you the clearance needed so the nose won't come in contact with the cab. Since the Reese # RP30047 doesn't have a slider, I wouldn't recommend using it on a short (less than 8') bed truck. I...

    As long as your Pullrite rail kit provides you with industry standard base rails to mount a 5th wheel hitch, the Curt A25 # C16180 will fit, since it's designed to fit in industry standard base rails. I've attached a photo of the dimensions for industry standard rails that you can compare yours to.

  • Does Curt A25 Fifth Wheel Hitch Ride in the Center of the Rails on a 2008 Ford F-250 or F-350?
    Yes, the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16180 will sit in the center of the rails. If you take a look at the diagram I've added you can see where you would need to install the Curt Brackets and Base Rails # C16448-204 on your 2008 Ford F-250 or F-350 and where the center line of the hitch is in relation to the brackets.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2020 Ford F-250 with and without Factory Puck System
    I can absolutely make a 5th wheel hitch recommendation for your potential 2020 Ford F-250, whether you get it with the factory puck system in the bed or not. Starting with my recommendation for the factory puck setup, I really like the Curt A25 5th Wheel Hitch # C16036. This will drop right down into those pucks and it features an interlocking 2-jaw system that will completely wrap around the trailer's king pin. What this does is not only provide an extremely secure connection with the...

  • Correct Curt A25 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD Dually with Prep Package
    For your 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD Dually with the factory prep package, you are actually going to want to use the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package part # C16066, not the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16180 which is for above bed base rails that you don't have. The cost can be found on the product page using the link above. The Curt A25 is an excellent choice and one of my favorite 5th wheel hitches on the market. The reason for this...

  • Fitting A New 5th Wheel Hitch On A Truck With Older Style Rails
    I do have a solution that will allow you to keep the Demco Hijacker Premier Series Mounting Brackets # DM8552027 that are already installed on your vehicle. You will have to change your existing older style rails for universal rails that will fit newer style hitches. The Universal Above-Bed Base Rails for Demco # DM6071 will work great, as this will bolt up to your current brackets. For the 5th wheel hitch itself, I recommend either the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16120 or the...

  • Comparing Goose Box to 5th Wheel Pin Box and Hitch Regarding Articulation and Capacity
    The Reese Goose Box # RP94720 has an integrated air back and shock system that will help on rough terrain. It works very much the same as some pin boxes like the Trailair Flex Air- 21,000 lbs # RP85FR. The issue you will find is that your trailer weight given is greater than the pin boxes we carry. The Goose Box is only rated for 20K and our pin boxes max at 21K. For the capacity you are seeking, I recommend the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch- 25,000 lbs # C16180 which has a fully...

  • Can Curt Q24 Fifth Wheel Hitch be Used with Rota Flex Pin Box
    If you locked out the rotating portion of the Rota-Flex pin box you could use the Curt Q24 # C16245 with it. Or if you wanted to keep using that feature of the pin box you could go with the A25 hitch part # C16180 which is a redesigned version of the Q24 that will work with the RotaFlex.

  • Can You Add 5th Wheel Pucks To a 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500
    I do have an option for you but if they were not installed from the factory, there is no way to add pucks to a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. Therefore, if you want to install a fifth wheel hitch you will need to install a set of above bed base rails like the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit part # C16429-204. I have attached an install video I did on this kit if you'd like to give it a watch. These rails will work with pretty much any hitch so long as said hitch is designed to...

  • Difference Between Curt A25 and Q25 5th Wheel Hitches
    The difference between the Curt A25 part # C16180 and the Curt Q25 part # C16265 is the jaw system. I have attached a photo for your reference. The A25 is an upgraded version of the Q25 because of it's interlocking jaw. The A25 interlocking jaw results in full contact with the king pin on the fifth wheel which reduces the rattle and chucking you may experience with a looser king pin connection. Although both options are great fifth wheel hitches with 25,000 lbs of towing capacity, the A25...

  • Is The Curt Q25 Fifth Wheel Hitch Compatible With Rota Flex Pin Boxes
    The whole Curt Q-Series line like the Curt Q25 # C16265 you referenced is not compatible with the Rota Flex pin box line like the # LC328330, nor are they compatible with rotating pin boxes. The pivoting system of the pin box works against the pivoting system of the hitch head and can cause the components of the head to deteriorate, ultimately leading to the hitch head failing. The only option is to either replace the pin box with one of the same bolt pattern or to replace the hitch....

  • Comparing the Curt A25 and Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch
    The main difference between the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16180 and the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16265 is the hitch head. The head on the A25 is far superior to the head on the Q25 because it has an interlocking jaw system that grips the kingpin tightly so very minimal movement is allowed, it offers a one pin head removal system. The overall feel of the head is just much smoother on the A-Series when compared to the Q-Series. I have attached a photo to show...
