by:

I love the Curt A30. Bought a replacement head because my original got damaged from a trailer with after market equipment. No "pin slap" at all with this hitch. Stays tight and runs smooth. Easy to maintain.

  • Replacement Legs For Converting a Ram 30K Puck A-30 Hitch To Fit On ISR Rails
    The 30K Ram 5th wheel hitch is a Curt A30 # C64BR with the Ram branding. You will be able to Remove the Head # C16590 from the Ram Legs # C65WR and install the ISR Base Legs # C16907 to fit in your ISR Rails. Do be sure to check the weight rating of your ISR rails with your towing capacity as some rails are only rated for up to 25K. If you need heavier rails for your truck please let me know what they are going on so I can find you the stronger under-bed brackets and rails to be able to...

  • Difference Between # CU53FR and # C16024 Curt 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Legs for 2020 GM Puck System
    The Curt # C16024 fifth wheel legs you mentioned fit the A series hitches from 20k and up; the A20 # C16540, A25 # C16580, and A30 # C16590. They're technically designed for the A30 because of the legs's 30,000 pound rating but they still fit the other two. With that in mind they will not, however, increase the weight capacity of the other 2 hitches. The # CU53FR legs fit all of the same hitches plus the Q Series and E Series hitches as well. These legs even fit the A30 however they are...

  • Could Curt Hitch Head C16590 Fit Ram M30 OEM Hitch Base/Legs

  • Replacement Head for Curt A30 5th Wheel Hitch
    Unfortunately, Curt doesn't offer just the head unit of their # C66HR A30 5th wheel hitch as a separate item, it's only available as a kit with the center section which we offer as part # C16590.

  • Will the Curt M30 5th Wheel Hitch Head Fit the Mopar M30 Base
    Yes, the Mopar M30 and Curt M30 are one in the same so the Replacement Head Unit for Curt A30 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16590 will fit your Mopar M30 5th Wheel Hitch Base.

  • Highest Rated 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2018 Ram 3500
    The highest rated fifth wheel hitch available for a 2018 Ram 3500 through Curt is 24,000 lbs using the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package part # C16046. The highest rated that we offer is 27,000 lbs using Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package part # RP37FR. The Mopar M30 5th Wheel Hitch uses a Curt head and Mopar base. We do offer the head (part # C16590) but not the base as this is only obtained through the dealer.

  • Will the Replacement Legs for the Curt PowerRide Work W/ the Curt A30 Head
    Brandon, the Curt A30 head # C16590 can not be used with the Curt OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch Legs for Ford Super Duty Towing Prep Package # C25JR. These legs are only going to be able to be used with the Curt PowerRide Head # C56WR. For the A30, you'd need to use the Replacement Base Legs for Curt A25 and A30 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16907. These legs are standard 5th wheel legs so they're going to work with regular rails not the OEM pucks.

  • Will the Curt A30 Head Fit Curt Q24 Legs/Base
    I do have an option but the Curt A30 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Head part # C16590 will not work with Curt Q24 5th Wheel Legs due to the presence of a dowel pin that is only on the GM legs/base. However, you can use the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Head part # C16580. Therefore, if you have a Curt Q24 5th Wheel Hitch you can simply swap out the Q24 for the A25. The A-Series is much better than the Q-Series so even though you won't get much added capacity you will still see ride quality...

  • Which Vehicles Does The Curt A30 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Fit
    The Curt A30 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Replacement Head part # C16590 replaces the head on the Curt A30 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package part # C16070 which fits 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 8 foot beds with the OEM puck system. It also fits 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 and 3500 with 8 foot beds and the OEM puck system. Curt has not released a slider base for the A30 yet for the short bed trucks (August 2019). If you let me know your year, make and model I can recommend...

  • Will the Curt A30 Fifth Wheel Hitch Base C16590 Work With the C16025 Legs
    The Curt # C16025 legs will indeed work, but you'll be limited to the 25K capacity of the legs. Curt didn't rate the legs any higher than that, as that's what the pucks in your 2017 Silverado 3500 were rated for at that time.

  • Will Curt R16 Round Tube Slider Fit with Curt A30 5th Wheel Hitch Head
    Your Curt R16 Round Tube Slider # C16560 will work with E16 head units like your part # C16515 and A16 head units like part # C16520, but you'll need a different slider for the A30 head unit # C16590 since it has a higher weight rating.

  • Can Jaw or Spring Be Replaced for Mopar 30K 5th Wheel Hitch
    Hey Scott, sorry for the late reply. I just got word back from my contact at Curt and this is what they sent me - The customer would need to go to Mopar, but there are no replacements for the jaws or the springs. What I recommend doing is either looking through a marketplace type group to see if someone has a Mopar M30 they are piecing out, or replacing the head unit with the Replacement Head Unit for Curt A30 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16590, which is the aftermarket version of the M30...
