Features to know about
Built to Tow with Confidence: 16,000 lbs GTW and 4,000 lbs Vertical Load Limit
The Curt E16 5th Wheel Hitch w/ S20 Slider is made for dependable towing with a 16,000-lb gross towing weight and 4,000-lb vertical load limit. Its sturdy steel construction and carbide black finish give it the strength and durability needed for heavy fifth-wheel trailers. Once hitched, the solid feel of the system inspires confidence mile after mile while keeping the ride stable and predictable.
Smooth, Secure Connection Every Time: Auto-Locking Slide-Bar Jaw with Rear Tension Bar
Hooking up is straightforward thanks to the auto-locking, slide-bar jaw mechanism. As soon as the king pin slides into place, the jaw closes automatically and is clamped tight by a rear tension bar that minimizes rattle and movement. This design gives a snug, quiet connection without fussing over alignment or secondary adjustments. A lockable option with a padlock (sold separately) adds extra peace of mind when you’re parked or on the road.
Turn Tight with No Binding: Non-Binding S20 Slider with 12" Travel
When maneuvering at slow speeds or backing into tight spaces, the non-binding S20 slider gives you up to 12 inches of fore/aft travel. Sliding the hitch toward the tailgate creates extra clearance between your cab and trailer for smoother turns. The mechanism moves easily under load without sticking or binding, so you can focus on steering rather than fighting hardware.
Set It Up for Your Trailer: Adjustable Height from 14" to 17" with Dual-Pivot Head
Getting a level towing setup is simple with four height positions ranging from 14" to 17". The dual-pivot head offers 10 degrees of lateral movement for easier hookup on uneven ground and keeps the trailer tracking smoothly once you’re rolling. Combined with the anti-rattle skid plate, you get a quieter ride and less chucking through rough patches.
Easy Install and Long-Term Durability: Complete Rail Kit Included
The hitch mounts above bed rails and comes with its base rails and installation kit for straightforward setup. It anchors securely using industry-standard rails and is protected by a rust-resistant finish for long service life. With a limited lifetime warranty backing it, this Curt E16 setup is ready to handle years of towing duty without losing its solid feel or dependable performance.

Video Transcript for Replacement Head Unit for Curt E16 Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Review
Hey guys, this is Jake here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be going over the CURT E16 replacement 5th wheel head. This is designed to replace your E16 5th wheel head. If you've already got one and you're wanting to replace it. If it got damage or if it's old and rusty this is gonna be a perfect fit. It's also gonna come with the replacement bracket.
If you'd like to swap out the head on the S20 which is their new slider base, you can put this in, mount it to the correct height and then put this hitch head right in the top of it. You are gonna get all the replacement parts that initially come with the kit so you'll get new hardware, new pins, a new handle, and this bracket. The best way to get this set up inside the S20 base is to set your head height with the bracket first and then set the head on top of it. Now with our new hardware, we can set the height of our hitch a lot easier than a lot of other hitches out there. A lot of 'em are gonna have to set it with the head attached but this bracket only weighs about 10 pounds so it's really easy to get it in place.
Now to get your new head in place, it's as simple as setting it on top of the bracket. And again, it will come with two new pins. And that's, I think that's kind of nice 'cause when you're replacing you know, new parts you'd like to put new hardware in too 'cause chances are these are gonna be pretty wore out. So some of the reasons why you would need to replace your 5th wheel head is if it's got a lot of rust on it it's gonna start to affect the integrity of the strength of the hitch itself. So if it's got too much rust you might think about replacing it.
If you've not been using enough grease or any grease at all this head can start to score and once it starts scoring you can't really go back 'cause it needs a smooth surface to slide on your kingpin base. Another reason is your grease gets dirty that can cause scoring. If you're not using a lube plate. There's a lot of different reasons of why you would need to replace this head. If your mechanism isn't working correctly anymore.
But it's good to know that you can just replace the head. But with that being said, a lot of people what they'll do is they'll, if they have an A16 or an E16 head and they have the traditional base but they get a new vehicle and they'd like to switch to the slider, you can keep your old head, get the slider, and then later on you can replace the head. So there's several different options and reasons of why you would need a new E16 head. Well, with all that being said, we've got it all installed it's ready to go, and it's ready for our next trip.

Great product. YouTube video was a big help with installation. I paired the curt custom 5th wheel mounting kit with etrailers airlift 5000 air bags and tows my 28' 5th wheel camper like a dream!

Working well, however being my first 5th wheel I am a little disappointed with the slop in the hitch. I believe it’s called chunking. I probably will upgrade to better clamping jaws next one. Also on my 2017 F150 had to modify the airbag brackets to work around the hitch mounts, didn’t see any conflicts for that in descriptions. Fortunately I have the tools and know how to have worked around it. Overall everything is worked well.

Packaging was damaged but luckily all hardware was present and nothing was physically damaged in anyway. Instructions provided were reasonable but I absolutely loved the video instructions etrailer and curt provide. I searched the part number for the custom 5th wheel mounting brackets and got perfect in-depth instructions. Made for a seamless install.

So far, this hitch has been fine to use. I had it installed by a professional installer company. The next day we went to pick up our new/used 5th Wheel. I set the hitch to receiver and backed into the king pin and checked the connection. Set the handle and connected the emergency brake carabiner. When we arrived home, I tried to disconnect and could not pull the release handle out. No matter what I tried it would not release. I finally pulled to pins that connect the head to the hitch and lifted the head with the trailer. I finally called the installer, and they did not have an answer. I then called Curt, and they told me that most likely the problem was that the release handle was probably installed 180 degrees out. I removed the handle and reversed its position, and the head released. It was an inconvenience, but no harm done. I drive a 2017 Ford F-350 Short box, so I purchased a slider hitch. I have not had to slide the hitch because the trailer has always cleared the cab of the truck.

Wow--thanks for sharing your experience with the hitch! I bet you aren't the only one this has happened to, and I think you might be saving someone a lot of time with tracking down a solution. Thanks, Juan! Congratulations on the new RV, too!

Arrived in three boxes. The largest looked as though Ace Ventura was the delivery man. However all the parts were inside. Took me two full hours to assemble, install, inspect and adjust. Clearly a formidable hitch for my '19 Silverado HD with PUCK system. Thankfully I have a pulley system in the garage to install/remove the entire hitch in one piece. The weight on this hitch is no joke. If you take the hitch out during non-use a pulley or hoist of some sort is a must. This is replacing a Husky which had a slightly different locking system but the Curt is rock solid and will be a great hitch for years to come. Excellent price, assembly was a challenge but the instructions were very good. One problem: the included (4) rubber shims were too thick preventing me from inserting any of the rail pins between the rail and PUCK adapter. So I didn't use them.

Well packed, free 5 days shipping, easy to assemble and nice looking hitch. Im extra amazed because i can remove the king pin base/head from the bridge leg assembly to easily transport them. Still not tested with the coach. Practically no lateral movement and have the suspicion bushings. Very firm and easy mechanisms. Do not leave the gate open for long term because could damage the main spring. I plan to pull a 11k 334FWFLS. Nothing compared to this hitch in this price range. I will add some extra feedback after couple travels.

Successfully installed this hitch even in a RAM Box. I did remove 2" from the handles so I have the proper clearance for the RAM box. That shortened length hasn't changed my ability to unlock the hitch for either function even being 5'-8". I do think this installation method with U-bolts that go around the frame is easier than the 1/2 ton version I installed which pulled knurled bolts through the factory frame holes to hold the support brackets.

First of all, etrailer was awesome to work with while I tried to determine what hitch I wanted, they get 5 starts. As for the hitch, installation was easy and while I feel the hitch works just fine, I would prefer one with "jaws" that lock. I would feel better if it did. That being said, I ordered this hitch simply because it was the lowest one I could find and after using it on several trip, it gets the job done. It can be locked and it easily opens and closes.

Update, I still wish this hitch locked. It seems to have some slap in it. It doesnt really hurt anything, however its very noticeable when backing the trailer up. The hitch pin feels like it kind of bounces for lack of a better word against the hitch itself because of how the retaining mechanism is designed. We camp in the summer and are not full time RVers. I would not recommend this if I was a full time RVer.

Bought this to be easier to take out or put in truck. It wasn’t long until the little catch that holds it open was worn down and no longer held it open to connect or disconnect trailer. Next it came to where I was having to hit the handle with a ball peen hammer to disconnect from trailer or to open to connect and have my wife hold it open while I back under camper. I took this one to scrap yard and bought a different brand.

We have the turning point pin on our rig so we had to get a wedge. I don't know if it was the wedge or the hitch but unless we were perfectly straight and level, we couldn't hitch up. Same with unhitching. After the 3rd time of not being able to unhitch without taking the entire head of the hitch off, we locked up the turning point and got a new hitch and do not use a wedge. Also, with only a bar going across, the pin seemed to wiggle around a lot.

I have a short bed truck, and using the Curt 16516 system Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R16 Roller, will give me the added clearance I will need for tight turns and maneuvering. Curt's instructions were fairly clear, and parts were well defined. These products are extremely well-made.
Once again, etrailer shipped quickly. Their communication and customer service are great. Thank you etrailer team. I am now ready to get my rig on the road.

Received hitch as promised, assembly was not too difficult but since I chose the universal mounting kit I needed a 17/32 drill bit which wasn't easy to get ahold of (etrailer should include this with the kit) assembly took about 5 hours but was not working on hitch the whole time. Used for the first time this weekend to pull my 35' camper... no issues, as of now I am happy with my purchase but may look into upgrading the head unit in the future

You'd then want to use the hitch to place the front rail so that everything matches up perfectly. This is actually same dimensions to use regardless of truck bed length.

I don't think a lot of people are towing with these electric trucks, at least not enough to justify any of our manufacturers making a 5th wheel install kit for it.

It looks like to get what you're after you're going to need to swap your hitch out with something like the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider # C95DR which has an adjustment range of 14" to 17" so you'd be right where you need to be height wise.

- Base Rails and Installation Kit Recommendation for 2017 Ford F-250 Super DutyYou can easily mount a fifth wheel hitch in your 2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty and to do that I strongly recommend the B&W Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit for Ford # BWRVK2402 because they do not require any drilling into your truck's frame to install and include galvanic isolators that are going to prevent corrosion in your Ford's aluminum bed. Not having to drill into your truck's frame is not only good for your truck but also reduces the amount of time it takes to install the rails....

- 5th Wheel Base Rail Kit and Hitch Compatibility with 2013 Toyota TundraThe 26 inch on center brackets do not make sense to me. The standard 5th wheel base rails are 22 inches by 20-1/2 inches where the majority of hitches fit and in some cases are 22 by 29 inches. The 26 inches makes me think you may have a different style or are measuring in a different location as there aren't hitches I'm aware of with a 26 inch base. My recommendation for your 2013 Toyota Tundra is the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches...

- Towing Capacity and Recommended Hitch to Tow a 5th Wheel Trailer with a 2014 Toyota TundraThe towing capacity of your 2014 Tundra is determined by Toyota, not either dealership. I recommend checking your owner's manual with your truck's specifics. Or you can contact Toyota with your VIN and they should be able to tell you how it came directly from the factory. I looked up a copy of your truck's manual but I'd still look at a printed copy if possible because as you said it has the tow package and 5.7L V8 but the capacity also depends on the bed length and cab style. From what...

Since you have a short bed truck you will need a slider hitch, for that I recommend the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider # C95DR.

view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Hitch and Installation Kit Recommendation for a 2013 GMC 2500HD Crew Cab 4X4 Short BedUnless the trailer you plan on towing has either a Sidewinder or a Reese Revolution pin box I can't safely recommend you install a B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3200 in your 2013 GMC 2500HD that has a short bed because this is a non-sliding hitch that would not give you enough clearance to make 90 degree turns no matter how it is installed in the bed of your truck. For more information on Sidewinders I attached an FAQ article on them. In that article it will detail how to...

If you have a 6-1/2 foot bed you'd need a slider hitch like part # C95DR, if you have a long bed you'd want a stationary hitch part # RP30047.

This will work well with your Forest River 240RE as the specs online show it to be a hitch weight of 1,350 lbs. with a GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) of just under 13K.

Since you don't think you have this package you are looking at a 5th wheel towing capacity of 8,700 pounds. Since there are so many variables (as you have seen) I also recommend visiting a local Ford...
view full answer... - Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch and Install Bracket/Rail Kit for 2020 Chevy 1500 4x4 Short BedFor a Reese 16K sliding 5th wheel hitch and the install bracket/rail kit, you could go with the # C95DR 16K sliding 5th wheel hitch and the # RP56015-53 install kit. However, I'd recommend the Curt A16 hitch, part # C16521 over what Reese offers. Unlike the Reese hitch, the Curt A16 offers a torsion articulating system for the hitch head which helps isolate the tow vehicle from road shock and noise. The interlocking hitch jaws hold the king pin much more tightly around its circumference...

Glad it's working well for you, Mike! Sorry to hear about the chucking though. The E16 does have a fairly basic style of jaw and something with a nicer one (like the B&W, which are my favorite hitches) would solve that issue. What kind of camper are you towing?
