Features:
Specs:
Note: This fifth-wheel hitch is compatible with rotating pin boxes, such as the Reese Sidewinder, Reese Revolution, and 5th Airborne Sidewinder, only when used with a wedge (sold separately).
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.
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).

Heavy-duty fifth-wheel trailer hitch has interlocking jaws and a color-coded lock indicator for superb safety and security. Torsion head offers easy hookup and quiet, stable towing. Legs mount to Ram OEM underbed platform.My experience with etrailer was amazing. They helped me pick out the proper 5th wheel for my needs. RAM 3500 8’ bed dually! The product shipped and arrived earlier than I expected. The CURT A25 with the RAM prep package was an easy installation. I could not be happier with my purchase and experience with etrailer.
Rodney - 11/13/2021This is my first run-in with a fifth wheel, so I spent a lot of time researching as many of the aspects as I could. I knew I didn't want to mount bed rails, so the truck was outfitted with the factory in-bed mounts. That allowed the use of this hitch. Using this setup allows for a clear bed floor by merely unpinning and swiveling the four locks on the leg's ends, then lifting the whole mess up and away. It arrived in two separate boxes: good thing, it's heavy! Knowing that, the individual pieces were placed in the bed where it could be assembled closer to its landing place. The instructions were very clear, and, before we knew it, we had the mount dropped into place. Connecting to the trailer couldn't be easier. With the lever forward and the yellow dot showing through the status port in front, the truck slides back into place with a satisfying "chunk" as the hitch latches on. Drop the safety pin into the latch, make your connects, give one final tug with the tow vehicle so you know the hitch is properly latched, and off you go! Thanks, etrailer!
Nathan L - 03/19/2021Got my hitch on time great service I bought 4 pieces of equipment so far all high quality very easy to use and installation was very easy just a little heavy would definitely recommend as use myself again thanks for your help E-Trailer
Bob f - 08/17/2021Shipping was fast for box 2/2. I believe I placed my order on June 30th and box 2/2 was delivered on July 2nd. Unfortunately box 2/2 was the only box that I had a tracking number for so I had to call etrailer. Even though this was an inconvenience the lady was super nice and helpful and ensured me box 1/2 would be at my home by the 6th of July and it was. The legs fit perfectly into the 2021 Ram puck system and was almost to easy to believe it was done correctly. The rest of the hitch bolted directly into place as described. I am more than happy with this product and for how easy it is to use it is definitely worth the price.
Shipping was far quicker than I expected, and the etrailer shipping tracker is really nice. Installation/Assembly was pretty easy, although the Curt instructions could have been better. One tweak to the assembly process - I went ahead and inserted the legs into the pucks, unlocked, and then put the rest of the hitch together. Avoided have to lift the majority of the unit into place. As other people have mentioned, the leg assembly box takes a beating during shipping....not parts damaged. All in all, a happy purchase.
Superior. My old Reese 16K served me well, but after 10 years of service including the AL-CAN highway, it creaked and moaned when loaded and banged around when not loaded. When I got a new truck that was 5th wheel prepped from the factory I chose the Curt hitch over the Reese, if for no other reason than it displayed first on the search list. I’m glad I did. First of all, the unit arrived in two heavy boxes. The boxes had a few dings, but were in pretty good condition. The contents of each box was packed well with styrofoam. None of the pieces sent to me were bent, broken or scratched. The instructions were pretty straightforward and easy to read. I’m 66 and completed the installation without assistance. I used the formula provided in the instructions to calculate the height of the assembly and the results were pretty much to my satisfaction. I did have to adjust the locking lugs and tighten each castle nut one notch to where there was a little resistance when locking. PROS: it’s solid, no wiggle; the head has a square rubber bumper the fits in the base that keeps the head from bouncing around when unloaded; coupling and locking indicators can easily be see from the cab and provide visual status of the jaws; interlocking double jaws. CONS: none at this time. I’m a happy camper.
First off the order was super easy and what a turnaround on time. Less than a week after I ordered it and it’s on my doorstep. Good price, information was spot on and they kept me informed of the progress. Could not be happier.
This 5th wheel hitch is AWESOME!!! It was as easy as the video to assemble and install. I put it together in the living room watching to Olympics. It is easy to install in the factory RAM puck system. You should use a buddy, it is a little heavy. It took about 30 to 40 minutes to put together and another 15 minutes to install and torque all the bolts to specs.

This hitch has worked OK for me thus far, but not without some issues. The Ram puck mount dogs did not line up perfectly with the mounts on the frame of the truck - they were off by a small amount, maybe 1/4" or less. I wound up putting some washers as shims between the side pieces of the frame and the center part of the frame in order to get the spacing right. This problem may not be completely with the hitch, as I measured the spacing of the mounts on the frame of my truck and they are slightly off from what the specs say. However, my truck was a new 2020 3500 at the time I bought this hitch and there's no adjusting those mounts on the frame. A better solution would be for Curt to make some form of adjustment in their hitch mount to allow for slight variations in mount dimensions. The other issue has to do with the fact that I'm using a Reese Sidewinder pin box on my 5th wheel. Those have a wedge that goes in the crotch of the 5th wheel hitch plate to keep the pin box straight in the hitch. Where that wedge contacts the angles on the rear of the hitch plate is showing some wear. Nothing serious at this time but I suspect that over time I may need to replace the hitch plate. One thing I do like about this hitch is that it is easy to remove the top part and latch mechanism from the frame, and by doing that I can remove the hitch frame from my truck by myself - it's still heavy but it is within my capabilities to pick up.
We could not be happier with our hitch and etrailer.com. I did *extensive* research (spreadsheets were involved) before deciding on a hitch AND where to buy it. A year later, I'm still very happy with both of those decisions.
Just got it and it is a thing of beauty. Took over 1.5 months to get but I do not need it for another month anyways. Also weighs like 200lbs when all put together. Be prepared...
We love our Curt A25 fifth wheel hitch. It’s easy to install in the puck staton our Ram 3500. Very quiet,smooth and easy to hitch and unhitch!
The hitch is exactly what i wanted. But just as important is the service i got from etrailer! My order was delivered sooner than promised - but i panicked only getting box 1 of 2. I called Donna to verify status and within 2 hours box 2 was delivered. Was able to put hitch together, get it installed in truck, and bring my 5th wheel home a week before i thought possible. Works like a dream. AWESOME PRODUCT AND SERVICE.
I sold this unit and installed a B&W companion. While the curt was a decent hitch there is no comparison to the BW. The curt made alot more chucking than the BW.
I have always had pretty good luck w Curt products! Product was was as described easy to install. Def heavy duty. Other posts were same, meaning boxes sustained heavy damage, but product inside was in great shape. Few scratches but no gonna change my review. Etrailer did price match so saved me some cash. Haven't pulled with it yet, just moved 40 ft camper around. May update later.
Installed it in my 2020 Ram 3500 with the rambox option (I added the fifth wheel prep pucks). Fit perfectly. The hitch is very heavy.
I did a product review but have since had some wonderful help from your staff , primarily Nicole R. Who was a great help and solved some shipping problems we had. I am very satisfied with the product and the service.
Sierra K - 10/28/2021Well made and shipped out fast. I just bought a 21 ram 3500 and couldn't use my 25k Reese withe tracks so this one has the puck system for the truck. Can't wait to get it together and use it.
Great product, excellent service. Impressed with the shipping tracking status and map. The packaging was outstanding. The hitch assembled easily, even for me. Thanks
Shipping was quick, system was easy to put together and install. Works great with my Tonneau cover.
Real nice hitch. I installed this in a short box Ram 2500. I didn't want the expense or extra weight of a slider. I get between 55 and 60° of turn. Hitch is solid. Very satisfied with the product. Etrailer was out of stock so it was drop shipped to my house in Wisconsin from the plant in Wisconsin. Truck had a lift gate so driver wheel hitch to my garage with pallet jack. All the boxes were shrink wrapped to the pallet.
Easy install. Works great in conjunction with my 2020 Ram 3500.
Installed in just 30 minutes give or take a couple minutes. I will hook up my 5th wheel this weekend and see how well it works.
Pretty straight forward installation. Note the legs are front and back, the cam locks are different sizes front to back. Heavy as heck for and old guy but breaking it down into the 3 component pieces made it manageable . Nice job on the install video.
This is a great hitch. It helps as knowing what your hitch is doing. Color coded let's you know. Love that they did this. I also like the fact it stays open ready to receive your 5 th. I have in the past with my old hitch not had it opened all the way almost bent the clasps. Last thing I like is is spreads out low on the bed giving me room to put items on top of the legs. Great design. Love this hitch.
