Is this right For you? Product Expert Kathleen M says:
Yes, if you:
Struggle to see if your king pin is fully latched - color-coded system makes it easy to see from your cab
Go down washboard roads to get to your favorite campgrounds and need a little extra shock absorption to keep from feeling every bump
No, if you:
Have a hard time lifting heavy stuff by yourself - even though the head comes off, the base is still about 100 lbs on its own
Prefer the most heavy-duty option, even if it's more hitch than you really need
Would rather have an American-made hitch

Curt has always been my go to for any thing I needed. I bought a 2018 GMC. I bought a Curt Q25, it did not have the puck system, so I had to buy the mount. I have a 2017 Montana 37ft 5th wheel. the hitch was very easy to use, just back in and it was connected. I replaced the original pin box with a Reese air sidewinder pin box. This added 17 inches to the length. The 18 was a 3/4 ton, I decided to buy a 19 1 ton which had a puck system. I installed the Q25, but after using it, I found out the Reese pin box was not compatable with the Q series. I purchased the A series witch is the proper one.
I have not installed it yet, will be installed this coming week. I called Curt and talked with Alison. She is very knowledgeable abot the Curt line. I ordered it Tuesday, the 21st and received it that Friday afternoon. I want to thank Alison and Curt for all they have done to correct my problem. Thankyou!

I bought the A20 hitch witch is the correct one for my pin box. It was very easy to assemble. It fit right into the GM puck system. Hooking is very easy and fast. It locks with a double claw, once it is connected, the release handle goes back and locks. In the front, there is a green, yellow and red sticker. when it is hitched, it will show green. all you do after is a light pull test, put the pin in the hole, put another pin in that pin, raise your landing gear legs and you are ready for your next adventure.

Excellent service, I ordered my hitch Wednesday around noon, Monday at 3:30 it arrived at my door in good order and was put together and put in my truck very Quickly!
I bought a Chevy 3500 with the new puck system for hitches and that is the reason I ordered the new Curt 20A 5th wheel hitch and it works great !
I have bought from etrailer several times and will order from them again if and when I need trailer products !

I pull a 34 foot Rockwood Signature Ultra Lite 5th wheel with this hitch. It works fantastic. Easy to see from inside the truck when engaged with the kingpin. A little heavy lifting in and out of trailer, otherwise easy to set and lock into bed of truck.

The hitch was everything I expected and exactly as advertised! I have used it for nearly a year pulling a 41’ Keystone Montana and have had zero issues! It is very simple and easy to operate and to take in and out of my truck.

Review from a similar A20 5th Wheel Hitch in Fifth Wheel Hitch
Two boxes del by UPS in good shape for the weight, I installed this myself, while still boxed I lifted into my Ram 2500 to handle easier, installed into my pucks then assembled the rest, went very well, the label they want you to put on driver side you can’t even read, let alone while holding in hand, we will be heading to the mountains of Colorado soon, we’ve always had a bumper pull till now, I’m sure this will work very well, this is 20K double jaw, thank you

Review from a similar A20 5th Wheel Hitch in Fifth Wheel Hitch
Very nice piece!Arrived sooner than expected. I have the A16 version,that I used for a 10k Lbs 5th wheel and that handle very well but now I'll be towing a 16k tow hauler so I know this a20 will do just fine. And I love the locking jaw versions. I feel these are most secured in any type of towing.

Review from a similar A20 5th Wheel Hitch in Fifth Wheel Hitch
I have towed with the Curt A20 for a few thousand miles. I really like this hitch. The visual hooked versus unkooked indicator is awesome. It operates flawlessly. I do get some chucking over bridge expansion joints. However, it seems like most people have this problem. On normal roads it pulls great.

Review from a similar A20 5th Wheel Hitch in Fifth Wheel Hitch
Excellent hitch, took two of us 10 minutes, during a rain storm lol, to put together and install! As far as towing our Redwood 5th wheel it performed flawlessly, easy to hook up and the ride was super smooth and no noticeable bucking!

Review from a similar A20 5th Wheel Hitch in Fifth Wheel Hitch
The A20 hitch and R20 slider are outstanding products.
One issue I had was the differing instructions on bolting the two together.
The A20 instructions are for bolting to stationary’leg’ base. The R20 slider instructions are what I used and worked very well.

Review from a similar A20 5th Wheel Hitch in Fifth Wheel Hitch
I use this on a 2020 ram 2500, and love it! Hook up is easy and secure, making truck and trailer feel like one! I have not experienced any chucking, since I started using this! Only con is the weight like any 5th wheel hitch, once on truck, I leave installed for season.

Review from a similar A20 5th Wheel Hitch in Fifth Wheel Hitch
Only had one issue with the A20 and that was probably my fault. After the hitch had been installed about six months, when the jaws would not close. Sprayed the lock and spring assembly with some WD40 and it has worked fine ever since. If I'm in a lot of rain, I'll spray it down every couple of weeks. Great hitch and would hesitate to buy it again.

Yes, the head of the Curt A20 part # C16064 can pivot from left to right to help with connecting and disconnecting on ground that isn't perfectly level.
If you check out the review video I attached for this hitch you can see that the head can pivot left to right. view full answer...
Sounds like the jaws of your Curt A20 fifth wheel hitch # C16064 are in need of lubrication. I attached a chart that has the maintenance schedule for the hitch.
If you are still having issues after following that chart let me know and we can go from there. view full answer...
The best option for a fifth wheel hitch for your 2019 GMC Sierra 2500 long bed with the factory prep package is the Curt A20 # C16064.
The A20 will fit directly in your '19 Sierra's pucks and has a handy indicator system which will let you know if the jaws on the hitch are ready to couple, uncouple or tow. This color-coded system, which you can check out in the accompanying photo, makes the process of hooking up or disconnecting your trailer much simpler.

The additional bolt holes on the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16064 are so you can adjust the height setting of the hitch. You only need to use the included four M14 hex bolts, and you will simply select a set of mounting holes that will allow for sufficient clearance between the 5th wheel trailer and the sides of the tow vehicle. You will use two hex bolts for each hitch leg, using the outermost bolt holes on the hitch. I do not recommend using the additional bolt holes to set the... view full answer...
The height setting for your Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # C16064 will depending on the difference between the height of your bed and height from the ground to the king pin plate while the trailer is level. For example if your bed height is 40" and the king pin plate height is 55" then you would have a 15" difference and would want to place your hitch at 15" tall.
When setting the height of your 5th wheel hitch you also need to keep in mind that you'll... view full answer...
If the jaws on the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16064 are not uncoupling when you pull the handle on the hitch as indicated by indicator(see image) you may have to much weight pulling against the jaws. If you are on a hill you will want to chock the wheels on your trailer to prevent the trailer from rolling. You can then take some of the weight off of the truck using the landing gear. Have a 2nd person in the truck who can then place it in neutral and let the truck slide freely and... view full answer...
The puck system layout for the 6-1/2' and 8' beds on a 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500 are the same so you can use the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16064 for your short bed truck.
Please note your 5th wheel trailer needs a V-Nose for you to be able to make tight turns without hitting your truck cab.

I do have a great option for you, however the Draw-Tite Hi-Rise 5th Wheel Hitch Adapter # 9480 is not compatible with the factory gooseneck hole that will be on your 2019 GMC Sierra 3500. The included post with this hitch will only work with specific hitches from B&W and Draw-Tite/Reese and simply won't allow for a secure enough connection with what GMC uses on their factory rail kits.
Since your Sierra will have the factory pucks I strongly recommend a 5th wheel hitch that's designed... view full answer...
It sounds like you have the factory rail kit on your 2017 GMC Sierra 2500 and you are referring to popping out the covers for the 5th wheel pucks that surround the center gooseneck ball hole. If this is not correct please just let me know.
If this is the case though then you absolutely can just remove the gooseneck ball, take those covers out, and drop in a 5th wheel hitch that is designed for the rail kit on your truck to pull a 5th wheel trailer. If you have the 8 foot bed I recommend... view full answer...
Yes, the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16064 is a fit for your 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 as long as you have the factory prep package and will allow you to tow your 2019 Forest River Flagstaff Classic Super Lite 8529IKBS with a Sidewinder pin box so long as you also use the Sidewinder Wedge for Curt A Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # C16992.

Since your 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500 has a short bed and has the factory prep package then the Curt A20 5th wheel trailer hitch you need is actually # C16669. For the 2017 Chevy trucks the short bed models have a different factory puck spacing than the long bed models and that is why hitch # C16064 will not work. view full answer...
It's not uncommon for people to install fifth wheel hitches in the bed of their trucks like the Curt A20 for GM Rail Kits part # C16064 that you referenced. This is a solid hitch, but since your truck is a short bed you'd instead need the slider versions part # C16669 to give you the clearance to make tight turns without the cab of your truck hitting the nose of the trailer.
I attached a review video for this hitch for you to check out as well. view full answer...
I recommend the Curt A-Series over the Curt Q-Series because the Curt A-Series is actually the new and improved version of the Curt Q-Series. The Curt A-Series has a new hitch head that contains interlocking dual jaws which grip the king kin tighter than the dual jaws of the Curt Q-Series therefore provide more security and less chucking/jarring. The tilting mechanism has also changed to further improve ride quality and ease of use. Lastly, the Curt Q-Series should not be used with rotating... view full answer...
I wish we had something, but we do not have any gooseneck hitch extenders we can offer for the factory gooseneck hitch of your Chevy Silverado. In general it's pretty hard to tow a gooseneck trailer with a short bed truck for this reason. If the trailer happens to have a tapered nose you should be just fine with a standard ball like the part # C60692 which fits the GM rail kit goosneck hitches and also comes with safety chain loops. view full answer...
Curt has an A20 hitch that fits the factory Ford rail kit with the part # C16034 but the # C16064 that you mentioned would only fit GM trucks. view full answer...
The A-Series Curt hitches are the way to go over the Q-Series from what you mentioned. The A-Series has an updated head and jaw design that allows the king pin to be held tighter which translates into a smoother ride qualify. So since your trailer has a 17k GVWR I'd go with the Curt A20 part # C16064 which fits your 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500 OEM rail kit directly and you'd have 3k of extra capacity.
If you think you'd end up towing a heavier trailer at some point the A25 part # C16066... view full answer...
If the legs of your Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # C16064 got torqued down even slightly crooked this could be the cause of the 1/4" interference. I also complete installs on video here and when it comes to torqueing down components if you don't get them placed exactly right when tightening them down they will fight you to the death.
I recommend taking the issue leg off and realigning it and retightening it down, alternating between the bolts to prevent... view full answer...
The only manufacturers with a hitch available to fit in the puck system of your 2016 Chevy Silverado 3500 are Curt and B&W. That is not a bad thing however, because many people find the B&W Companion # BWRVK3700 to be among the highest quality fifth wheel hitches available. It has a towing capacity of 20,000 lbs, which is more than enough for a trailer with a GVWR of nearly 17,000 lbs. The Companion also uses dual jaws which are a full 1" thick to create contact with the king pin, a head... view full answer...
You can take some measurements to determine whether or not you'll need a sliding hitch. You will measure from the center of the hitch jaws forward to the back of the truck cab and then you'll want to measure the width of the trailer nose.
Using the formula: (A+B)-C= Clearance
A= distance from center of hitch jaws to cab
B= sliding hitch movement (in this case it's 0")
C= width of trailer nose divided by 2 (so 1/2 the width)
As long as this number is +4 or greater, you'll have the clearance... view full answer...
The total weight of the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16520-16025 is about 150 lbs and the total weight of the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16064 is about 160 lbs. The great thing about the A-Series is that it can be broken down into two pieces for easy removal, the head and the center section/legs. I would go with the A20 for your Grand Design Solitude 310GK due to the extra capacity. view full answer...
We do have exactly what you're looking for. You're looking for the Curt A20 for the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 # C84FR, which is a confirmed fit on the 3500 models with an 8 foot bed and the OEM Prep package. The Curt # C16064 you were looking at is designed for older models of the GMC/Chevy OEM prep package, but the pucks were re-positioned.

For your 2017 GMC Sierra 3500 with 8' bed and OEM prep package, I recommend going with the Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # C16545-16025. This is a an excellent hitch that will simply lock into the factory puck system on your vehicle. It has an impressive gross towing weight of 24,000 lbs and max vertical load of 7,000 lbs.

For your 2017 GMC 3500 with factory prep package, the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # C16064 will work great for the size trailer you will be towing.

You may also want to consider the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector # C56000 to add a second working trailer connection to the bed of your truck for easy access and connection.
