Secure, Interlocking Two-Piece Jaw

A20 Two-Piece Interlocking JawA20 Two-Piece Interlocking Jaw

Unlike slide-bar models, the rounded, interlocking, two-piece jaw on this fifth-wheel trailer hitch inhibits rattle and movement by securely wrapping around your trailer's king pin, resulting in easier hookup and a safer, quieter ride.


Three-Point Indicator System

A20 Color Indicator System

Get peace of mind with Curt's color-coded lock indicator. Just look at the indicator - either the one on the handle or the one on the hitch itself - to determine whether the jaw is in the correct position to uncouple (red), couple (yellow) or tow (green).

Ive been using this fifth wheel set up for about 5 months now and I don't have any complaints. I pull a 2022 Heartland Cyclone 4006 toyhauler fifth wheel. Loaded down its usually weighing between 18 to 20,000 lbs depending on what we are hauling.



by:

Easy to order from etrailer with fast shipping. Ordered on Mon estimated delivery on Fri but came in only 2 days for a deliver Wed. Curt A25 hitch packaged very well good instruction easy assembly on tailgate filling installed and torqued in less that 30 mins.



by:

I could not be happier. It's solid, no sway while towing and no banging when I hit the brakes. Great product and I would highly recommend it!



by:

The hitch arrived as promised and in perfect condition. Couldn’t ask for better customer service. Looking forward to towing with the Curt A25.
I’ll amend this review after I tire with it. Super happy with etrailer!!

Packing was horrible. Smaller box inside a bigger box just bouncing around that created a big hole. All the bolts and nuts came free from packaging and were all over. Not to mention the ones that got lost.

I will send your information to our customer service team and they will be able to get you the pieces you are missing! Thank you for letting us know.



by:

Ordering from etrailer was a great decision! I got a confirmation email for my order within minutes and an email it had shipped in just a few hours. I was given an expected delivery date and it actually showed up a day early. I’m super impressed with the customer service! I bought a fifth wheel hitch and found an [online] video for my truck and hitch that was extremely helpful, especially since all the RV dealers in the area were two months out to install it. All in all dealing with etrailer has been a great experience and I will definitely be going back for any of my other RV needs!



by:

It is well built. Directions could have better illustrations. Putting handle together was the most difficult part of process. It dropped right into my existing rails. Have not hooked my fifth wheel yet, but very satisfied with the finished product.



by:

It was poor delivered and packaged. I don’t even know if all the parts are in there yet till tomorrow. There was a huge hole delivered and they even tried to patch up the box. SMH

Took me a month, but I finally got the Curt A25 fifth wheel hitch in my truck and took it for nearly 150 mile trip to see how it would work. My wife and I both were amazed at how quiet and the bouncing, snapping, popping and cussing were all gone. This hitch is absolutely amazing. Before, when I just pulled out of my driveway, the old fifth wheel would snap and pop loudly several times. It was so quiet with the Curt A25 (new one), both of us looked at each other and looked back to see if the trailer was moving with us. (It was) Thank you to Curt for building it so well and to all of the people at etrailer that recommended it and ensuring it was all right.



by:

Purchased the Curt 25 A. 25,000 lb capacity with articulating head. I pull an 18,000 lb 5th wheel camper with a 3500 diesel dually. There is lots of movement when braking and start of pull after a full and normal stop. I would not buy the articulating model again. The product seems to be well built just too much front to rear movement in the head.



by:

The only thing I wish I got was a sliding hitch as it would have been a bit easier to hitch as a perfectly straight hitch I have only a inch to spare before my tailgate hits the bulkhead. So being that I have to close the tailgate before I am totally hitched into the kingpin



by:

My 5th wheel package was robbed during shipping.
When
I received it, the box had obviously been opened and then taped shut.
When I opened it, the base of the 5th wheel hitch was gone!
I called etrailer's customer support and they were amazing.
I sent pictures of the package I took before and after I opened the package.
The customer support rep said that was all I needed to do.
And they shipped a new base two days later.
I just received the base of the hitch.
I am extremely happy that etrailer's customer support was so responsive when I had a serious problem!
Thank you etrailer customer support!

Had a Pullrite Superglide in my old F350 standard bed but when I upgraded to the 8ft bed of the dually, I went with this hitch. Hitch came in 2 boxes and although the boxes worked banged up a bit, everything was there and fine. It only took about 30 minutes to bolt everything together and install on the rails that were already in the truck. I actually had to take the hitch apart once to adjust the hitch up a little. I wanted it as high as possible in the bed, while still clearing the Roll N Lock retractable bed cover. Looks good, seems solid and well made. Hitch head comes off to make it easier to remove this hitch, but even with the head connected, I am able to move the hitch in the truck (would need to take head off for me to lift the hitch out of the truck). Also installed a BedRug at the same time to clean up the bed.

Curt A25 fifth wheel hitch... received in record time ,box was damaged and the pull arm was bent. Called Etrailer and they sent me another pull arm immediately. Great customer service, will continue to do business here. Thanks Molly and George

etrailer sells high quality Curt products. I order Curt products from etrailer and all reasonably price, process works great, online order through physical final delivery,



by:

Worked perfect! Just installed it this Evening test it later this week! Thanks again etrailer!



by:

Great Hitch. I haven't used it to pull yet but it's heavier and seems more sturdy than the Reese I replaced. I also like the interlocking jaws. Many time hitching with the reese I'd have to use a flashlight to see that the jaws were closed but not any more. I'll update once I pull the camper with it.



by:

Packaging was tore up, expected that. The head had been dropped and bent the engagement handle. I peened it back to straight to get the black handle back on and moveable. otherwise no issue with the product so far.

I apologize for the handle being bent. I am glad that you got it bent back in place and it is working out fine for you!



by:

I have pulled a 16,000 lbs 5th wheel over 13,000 miles with this hitch and no issues. It arrived with the package damaged and the handle bent. Etrailer quickly replaced the part. The base will rust if not covered. If you remain hooked up for an over night stay, you will need to lower your jacks to stabilize and prevent rocking do to the hitch’s design. Great product.



by:

Arrived in great shape, easy to install. Can't wait to give it a try. Looks well built and easy to use. The release handle is just in a different position than my old 20K Reese so will be a little more of a reach to get to the lock pin.



by:

This fifth wheel is very noisy and a loose connection. I would not recommend it.



by:

Best hitch I have ever purchased even got my friend to switch



by:

Install never user truck was wreck before use still have the 5th



by:

I am very pleased with my purchase from etrailer. The 25,000 pound hitch and hardware was shipped promptly and received from UPS in good condition.
Thanks, etrailer!

  • Will the Curt A25 Hitch Fit in Industry Standard Base Rails
    As long as your Pullrite rail kit provides you with industry standard base rails to mount a 5th wheel hitch, the Curt A25 # C16180 will fit, since it's designed to fit in industry standard base rails. I've attached a photo of the dimensions for industry standard rails that you can compare yours to.

  • Solution for Curt Q24 Fifth Wheel Hitch that is Difficult to Unlatch
    Some hitches just are more finnicky than others when it comes to releasing the jaws. You've done everything right by keeping the hitch and jaws maintained and lubricated so there's nothing that's going to make your hitch easier to unlatch other than making sure the trailer is totally level and straight like you already have mentioned. Curt recently redesigned the Q series hitches with the A series like the A25 part # C16180 which was done to help with the jaw issues of the Q series. The...

  • Will Curt Q20 Fifth Wheel Hitch Fit Same Rails as Husky 16k Hitch
    Yes, the Curt Q20 fifth wheel hitch part # C16130 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for the rails you have now that a Husky 16k fifth wheel hitch fit into. Both fit the same industry standard fifth wheel rails.

  • How is the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch C16180 Different from the Q25
    According to Curt the A25 hitch # C16180 is a rebranded Q25 with a head that is made of stronger material. The A25 is the newer version. The changes made to the head address some issues with head failure associated with the Q25. The Q25 was a beefier version of the Q24.

  • Can Curt Q24 Fifth Wheel Hitch be Used with Rota Flex Pin Box
    If you locked out the rotating portion of the Rota-Flex pin box you could use the Curt Q24 # C16245 with it. Or if you wanted to keep using that feature of the pin box you could go with the A25 hitch part # C16180 which is a redesigned version of the Q24 that will work with the RotaFlex.

  • Will Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Fit Same Rails as a Reese 20K in a 2013 Chevy Silverado 3500
    Since your 2013 Chevy Silverado 3500 already has above the bed rails used for your 20K Reese hitch then you will not need any other parts to mount the Curt Q24 hitch # C16245. It will fit in the same industry standard above the bed rails as the Reese hitch. Given that the gross weight rating of the trailer is 24K I recommend going with the Curt A25 # C16180. Having a hitch that is rated for more than the gross trailer weight is ideal. Even if you don't plan on loading the trailer to the...

  • Comparing the Curt Q25 to the Curt A25 5th Wheel Hitch
    The Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs # C16180 is the newer model of the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs # C16265. The A25 has an interlocking dual jaw for increased security. The A25 also has built in grease zerk fittings to make maintenance just a little easier. It also has a 1 pin head removal compared to the 2 pin option of the Q25. They are both nice 5th wheel hitches, but the A25 has those couple of really nice features as an upgrade....

  • Is There Curt A25 Fifth Wheel Hitch that Fits OEM Pucks of 2015 Ford F-450
    Curt has a version of their A25 fifth wheel hitch that fits directly to the OEM Ford pucks in the bed of your 2015 Ford F-450 with the part # C16036. There would be no need for any additional rail kits or install hardware. The A25 you mentioned is designed for a different rail kit and would not be the way to go.

    For your 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD Dually with the factory prep package, you are actually going to want to use the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package part # C16066, not the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16180 which is for above bed base rails that you don't have.

  • Difference Between Curt A25 and Q25 5th Wheel Hitches
    The difference between the Curt A25 part # C16180 and the Curt Q25 part # C16265 is the jaw system. I have attached a photo for your reference. The A25 is an upgraded version of the Q25 because of it's interlocking jaw. The A25 interlocking jaw results in full contact with the king pin on the fifth wheel which reduces the rattle and chucking you may experience with a looser king pin connection. Although both options are great fifth wheel hitches with 25,000 lbs of towing capacity, the A25...

  • Options to Upgrade Reese 20K 5th Wheel Hitch On Truck With Reese Above Bed Rails
    It sounds like you are looking for a higher rated fifth wheel hitch that will work with Reese above bed base rails on your truck. If that is the case then I have plenty of options for you because the Reese above bed base rails use an industry standard pattern which will accept most fifth wheel hitches from brands such as Reese, Curt, Husky etc. That said, I recommend the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16180. The Curt A20 has a set of dual interlocking jaws which form a tight...

This will give you an outstanding 5th wheel towing set up with the cushioned pin box of the Air Ride and the interlocking dual jaw system of the A25 combining for a much smoother, more comfortable towing experience than a standard pin box and lesser 5th wheel hitch.

This is an excellent hitch that features an interlocking 2-jaw system and a fully articulating head that both contribute to a really smooth ride when towing your trailer. The head in particular is what sets this hitch apart from a lot of alternatives as it will do a great job of actually suppressing road shock and reducing a lot of that standard towing noise.

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch with Higher Weight Capacity than Curt E16 Hitch
    Since your Curt E16 hitch now that means you have industry standard fifth wheel rails and can easily install a hitch with a higher weight capacity like the Curt A25 part # C16180 which has a 25k capacity. This has a much nicer jaw design than what your current hitch has so it will be much smoother and quieter as well as easier to operate.

  • Can Reese Elite Fifth Wheel Hitch be Adapted to Fit Above Bed Rails
    The Reese Elite hitches do not have a set of legs that can replace what they come with to allow them to fit above-bed rails like you mentioned. If you wanted a similarly rated fifth wheel hitch that does fit above bed rails I would recommend the Curt A25 part # C16180. This hitch holds the king pin tighter than the Elite hitch so the ride quality would be smoother, the hitch is lighter, and overall very high quality and easy to use.

    You are correct, the Lippert Tri-Glide has since been replaced with the Lippert Trailair Flex Air in favor of a more streamline design with less moving parts. In regards to comparing the Trailair to the MORryde, the Trailair uses an airbag with shock absorber and the MORryde uses a rubber spring. The Trailair will provide a smoother ride and have more adjustments but the MORryde will be a bit more durable. They are both great options for you but it really just depends on preference. With...

  • What is the Weight of Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # C16180
    The shipping weight of the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # C16180 that you linked to is 130 lbs. Obviously a portion of that is packaging material. If you do not already have the needed base rails installed in your 2016 Ram 1500, 5-1/2 Foot Bed with EcoDiesel engine, I suggest the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit, # C16444-204. The shipping weight for this item is 74 lbs. I have linked an installation video of this product being installed on a 2016 Ram.

  • Differences Between Curt A25 C16180 and Q25 C16265 5th Wheel Hitches
    The hitch jaws that grip the 5th wheel's king pin and the suspension system (for the lack of a better term) for the hitch head are the main differences between the A25 and the Q25. The A25 like the # C16180 uses an interlocking jaw system that does a better job of holding the king pin tightly, making contact with the king pin all around its 360° circumference. This leads to less rattling and banging which makes for a more comfortable ride. The A25 use a torsion dampening system in the...
