Average Customer Rating:  4.9 out of 5 stars   (32 Customer Reviews)

Replacement head unit fits Curt A20 fifth-wheel trailer hitches.

by:

Product is perfect, worked well with my existing puck system that previously held my A16. Some people reported damaged packaging upon receipt since the unit is about 100 lbs., however they may have changed the packaging process as mine arrived undamaged in a well constructed case within a box. It did contain the four mounting bolts with lock washers and nuts which was nice, or I would have used the ones from my A16, but I was able to add two more in the extra holes this unit had. All I had to do was put together the handle and hooked up very smoothly. If you ever work with Quinn he is awesome!



by:

Excellent product - nice & smooth operation during towing (works well in conjunction with LCI Rota-Flex pin box. Easy to hook/unhook. etrailer provides good prices and free shipping. I am very satisfied and would recommend this purchase to others.

Hitch still works as intended. Im very happy with the hitch.



by:

Legs and 5th wheel head purchased separately fit my new 2020 Sierra 2500 HD perfectly. Directions to assemble were easy to follow. Thank you etrailer



by:

Easy install works well



by:

As stated in many reviews the packaging is a farce. You can’t ship 100lbs hunk of steel in a plastic lined cardboard box and expect it to arrive unscathed. The hitch is quite and works fine in combination with my MORryde pin box. Save yourself $xxx and buy the hitch separately head and base.



by:

Arrived within the time frame expected. Quick and easy install.



by:

Was very pleased with the condition and build quality of this product. I've towed with it 1 time so far. It works great. Very easy to install and couple to my 5th wheel. My only issue is the powder coat is flaking off on the front of the 5th wheel plate. I'm going to add a photo. Right side of opening is where it chipped.

I recommend using a rust resistant paint like Rustoleum to touch up the 5th wheel hitch.



by:

Excellent fulfillment, customer service, and online support for an as-described and (so far) good functioning item. Will do business with etrailer again, when the time comes.



by:

This hitch was very easy to install. It did come missing one of the bolts to attach the head to the base. I contacted George at etrailer customer service and he sent the replacement bolt out ASAP and I got it in just a couple of days. Got the hitch completely installed and it seems to operate just fine. Haven't towed with it yet but it functions fine. I highly recommend etrailer.com for their outstanding customer service.

Received my Curt A20 Fifth Wheel Head, but have not had a chance to try it out yet. I am very pleased with the quality of its' components and from what I read of the reviews, most had nothing but praise for this F.W. Hitch. etrailer has a great product at a great price and the shipping was free. Thanks.
