Specs:
With a dual-pivoting head that offers 10 degrees of lateral movement, the E16 fifth-wheel hitch makes hookup a snap, even on unlevel ground. Once the king pin slides into the hitch, the auto-locking, slide-bar jaw secures it in place. A unique feature of the E16 is the rear steel tension bar within the jaw that activates upon hookup to clamp down on the king pin, providing a tighter grip that maximizes security and minimizes rattle.
Specially designed for trucks with 6' to 8' beds, this non-binding slider helps to eliminate clearance problems during slow-speed turns. When you are towing a fifth-wheel trailer, your hitch must be situated on the cab side of your truck's rear axle. However, at slow speeds you can use a roller to slide the fifth-wheel hitch (and the trailer) toward your truck's tailgate and past the rear axle, creating enough space between the cab of your truck and the trailer to permit less-restricted turning.

I've only towed my camper once with my new hitch so far and it worked just fine, when i bought it, it arrived on time and in good shape, the only little problem i had was part of the steel under the release handle wasn't painted so when it rained rusty water came out the handle tube and kind of stained my rubber bed liner, but it was an easy fix. anyway i'm happy with it ! P.S. the vehicle specific frame mount makes the set-up much quicker and eaiser than the universal mount . 305663
The hitch is easy to put together as I have a 2016 2500hd I had to bolt it inn the very top holes to clear my box. There seems to be alot of plat in the king pin lock a clank and clunk starting and stopping. Id buy from etrailer again they are a great company this product was built for what I paid its a middle of the road hitch. I will upgrade at some point 377732
Myron L - 05/09/2018Thanks for your follow up Myron. I have confirmed with my contacts at Curt and if you would like you can change out the head unit of your current system and use the # C16520
Replacement Head Unit for Curt A16 and Q16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 16,000 lbs
$402.80. This head unit offers upgraded features in the coupler head, handle and adjustable height adjustability of the head to the base. If you were to switch out the heads only it would be more cost effective that getting an entire new 5th wheel hitch, and you would be able to utilize your existing underbed install kit, rails, and slider portion of your existing system. However if you would like to consider a different hitch set up, I have provided a link for your reference that includes the 5th wheel hitches that have the same capacity of your exisiting system for reference.
Rachael H - 5/9/2018Installed nice no instructions on the right rear front bolt on a 2017 3 quarter ton Ram pickup rear end mounted were they wanted you to put the bolt on the coil suspension Dodge 520008
Jim - 06/13/2019This is a great product and all the parts and hardware arrived in tact. Had a few issues with the under bed mounts due to my truck is the 2017 power wagon and more parts had to be removed to get installed and relocate harnesses. over all installation took a good day even with a mechanics back ground. Also will be installing hellwig air bags to accommodate coil springs. I really liked that etrailer customer service called me to verify my order. After that the package arrived with in a week. Really happy with the parts and etrailer service. 477054
Hitch is well made and went together without a problem. I like the slide mechanism, works smoothly. I looked at other hitches and this one seems to have the best features for the price. Shipping from etrailer was fast even with the holidays. 594120
Avoid, very poor quality. Bangs so hard back and forth seems like it will break, according to curt completely normal. Also made in china which is not disclosed before purchase 496415
Mike L - 04/15/2018Instantiation went well, for 2 70+ year old's. We were able to finish in 3 hrs. We left heat shell in place, little tight but doable. Would be a lot easier if turned around and mounted on inside of frame, you could get at nuts easier. If you wielded nuts on bracket and used hex bolts would be even better. Over all one nice hitch. thank you 862486
Nothing but happy so far. Haven't had the opportunity to open packages, but sure it will be all good. Will be in touch in near future, yinz are my go to for RV supplies now. I'll send pictures when i get it into the truck, thank you 829595
First time fifth wheel owners. Overall satisfied with this hitch. We have used the hitch and trailer multiple times in the last year. On one occasion the locking bar did not want to release the kingpin. It is rather loud (play in connection allows clanking noises). I had researched quite a bit before purchasing and still think the value is good. 822214
Great price and great delivery. Thanks. 818237
Even though this is a cheaper option, I've had zero problems, I'm sure the more expensive options have some better features, never really had to use the slider feature either. My 5th wheel is tapered enough that I can turn around in a culs-de-sac no problem. 817994
Everything as advertised easy to install and works great 816830
Quick delivery of a good product 807929
This 5th wheel hitch has been good overall. It doesn't like to release off the trailer at times. 804496
Great product installation was easy and fast. I have only pulled my fifth wheel about eight times with this hitch and it have worked wonderfuly.. 797685
The sliding 5th wheel hitch has worked great. I would order from etrailer again. 774971
Was an easy install. Product was as adv ertised. 774157
Good service from lady who I had to call because lack of internet abaility. 767773
I called and spoke to a rep on the phone. He talked me through what would be good for my set up and gave me a few options. I placed my ordered and it arrived in 3 days. Product was as described and happy with everything so far. 740183
I am a fairly advanced DIY'er. After watching a few Youtube videos several times I started to install the bed rails. I had to buy a larger torque wrench, a 22mm socket, a 19mm wrench that was open end on one end and a rachet on the other end to tighten top bolts. I spent 6-7 hours to get everything put together and mounted. The large 30 gallon gas tank on my F-150 made the drivers side front rail bolts really challenging to handle. Great quality kit. 735276
Great product all went together fast and easy delivery was fast was in my truck within 3 days of ordering Thanks E trailer 733635
Hitch works great. I tow with confidence knowing I have a solid connection between my truck and 12K lb fifth wheel camper. 730448
Can engage the hitch easily from the fifth wheel but always have to reverse and forward several times to disengage. Difficult to perform when I am solo, a lot easier with some one to crank on the lever while I dance the truck. 729980
I have enjoyed my hitch it has made hookups fast and easy. 715565
