Features to know about

Built for Heavy Loads and Long Hauls: 25,000 lbs GTW and 6,250 lbs Vertical Load Limit

This hitch is made for serious towing with a 25,000-lb gross towing weight and a 6,250-lb vertical load limit. The steel construction and carbide powder coat finish give it the strength and durability to handle heavy fifth wheels over long distances. It also keeps the connection solid and reliable mile after mile, so you can tow with confidence knowing the hitch won’t flex or rattle under weight.

Quiet, Locked-In Towing: Interlocking Dual Jaws with 360-Degree Contact

The interlocking 2-jaw system wraps completely around the king pin for full 360-degree contact. That design cuts down on rattle and movement you get with slide-bar models, giving you a quieter ride and a more secure hookup. The torsion head further smooths out road shock and reduces clunking or chucking, so both truck and trailer stay calm even on rougher stretches of road.

Stay in Control When Hooking Up: Color-Coded 3-Point Indicator System

Before you pull away, just check the color indicator—red means uncoupled, yellow means ready to couple, and green means you’re locked for towing. Both the handle and hitch show the color clearly, so you can verify from the cab or beside the truck without guessing. The handle self-resets to ready-to-couple after you disconnect, saving time when re-hooking later.

Tight Turns Made Easy: Non-Binding S25 Slider with 12" Travel

The S25 slider provides 12" of front-to-back travel to give your trailer extra clearance during slow turns. It automatically latches in both directions and slides smoothly without binding, so you can maneuver confidently without worrying about cab contact. Designed for beds shorter than 8' (not under 6'), it’s built to make tight backing situations more forgiving.

Clear Your Bed Fast: One-Pin Head Removal and Drop-In Rail Adapter

When you’re done towing, a single pin releases the hitch head so one person can lift it off easily. The included rail adapter drops right into the puck receivers and secures with quarter-turn anchors for quick setup or removal. Built-in zerk fittings make lubrication simple, while the included plastic lube plate helps the king pin glide smoothly during hookup.

Video Transcript for Checking Out the Curt Q20 5th Wheel Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this Curt 5th Wheel Adapter Rails for your Chevrolet and GMC trucks that have the factory 5th wheel prep package. Now, this is a custom fit part, it is designed to fit the 2016 to 2019 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 trucks with the OEM prep package, 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, and it'll show you if this will work for your application. Now, this will let you easily transfer your existing 5th wheel hitch from a previous truck to the new factory underbed puck equip trucks. This will convert the factory underbed system to the standard 5th wheel base rails. Now, they do use a quarter-turn anchoring system for quick installation and removal, wanna zoom in to show you a close up of that.

We're just gonna do one corner, but you'll do this at each corner, there's four corners. But basically, when you go to install this, what you'll do is pop off this clip, and then you'll rotate this handle out a quarter of a turn, and when you do that, if you noticed right down here, this tab is rotating also, so that'll open it up. You'll do that at each corner, and now, you're ready to drop this whole system right into the underbed factory system. Once you drop it in, the tabs will drop into place, you'll rotate this handle back just like that, and it rotates that tab to lock it in, and again, you'll do it at all four corners. Once you get it locked in, put your pin and clip back in, and that locks the handle in place, you're all ready to go.

You can also adjust the anchors right here, these can be adjusted to help eliminate any chucking between the legs and the underbed platform, right here you can put a wrench in here, there's a cotter pin that you can pull out, put a wrench in here, and tighten it up or loosen it, whatever you need to. Now, this does also include the four pins and clips that'll allow you to secure the 5th wheel to these adapter rails. Again, the specs on this, it is designed to fit the Chevrolet and GMC trucks with the 5th wheel prep package, capacity on this is 30,000 pounds gross towing weight capacity, and it has a 7,500 pound vertical load limit. But that should do it for the review on this Curt 5th Wheel Adapter Rails for the Chevrolet and GMC trucks with the factory 5th wheel prep package..

Works really well and easy to install. My only gripe is the cam lock adjuster. The nut has holes in it for a cotter pin but they are at 1/4 turn intervals so its either really tight or kinda loose nothing in the middle. Also to get the cotter pin out is an absolute pain in the butt inside the rails. Once all put together and mostly adjusted its easy in and out works great good quality. Oh and if you use the outside most slot in the rail be sure to put the pin in from the inside and the spring clip facing out or the cam lock will hit the pin and wont open all the way.

The product worked just like it was suppose to. The only problem I had is when I took off from a stop there was a looseness. I could not tell if it was from the 5th wheel or the puck adapter. I will have to research it more.

The Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with S25 slider worked perfectly on my 2024 GMC Sierra 2500HD Denali. Install was a breeze. Great pricing as well at etrailer.com.

Easy to assemble and install. Item is heavy gauge steel and very well constructed. Only downside is the removal and re-install of the cotter pins for adjusting the hold down locks. Small hitch pin clips would make adjustment easier.

Tracking is showing that it has finally arrived. Can you please let me know if the tracking is correct or not? Sometimes, packages will deliver to the wrong address, so I also recommend you contacting your neighbors if you still have not received it to see if they got it in your place.
