This Curt A16 fifth-wheel hitch is rated for 16,000 lbs gross towing weight and a 4,000 lbs vertical load limit. The sturdy steel construction and carbide powder coat finish give it the strength and durability needed for big campers, toy haulers, or RVs. It’s a solid, “built like a tank” kind of hitch that stays rock steady mile after mile, even when you’re hauling heavy loads across multiple states.
The A16’s interlocking two-piece jaws wrap completely around the king pin to deliver full 360-degree contact. That tighter connection means less rattle and better security than slide-bar models. The design cuts down on chucking and clanking so the ride feels smoother and quieter, especially on long hauls or rough roads.
No guessing if you’re hitched right. The A16 uses a three-point color indicator—red for uncoupled, yellow for ready to couple, and green when locked for towing. You can see the indicator from the cab or next to the bed without climbing in or out. The handle also locks to secure your trailer to the hitch with a padlock (sold separately) and automatically resets to the ready-to-couple position after you disconnect.
When you need your truck bed clear, this hitch breaks down fast. Pull one pin to lift off the head—a handy setup for solo removal since the head weighs 84 lbs and the legs 28 lbs. Two built-in zerk fittings simplify lubrication for smoother operation, and it even comes with a plastic lube plate so the king pin glides easily during hookup.
The torsion head pivots for controlled coupling and helps absorb road shock to keep towing stable and quiet. With 4 inches of height adjustment from 13" to 17", you can dial in your setup for level towing and proper bed rail clearance. It’s compatible with above-bed base rails from major brands, making installation straightforward with the universal kit (sold separately).

Excellent! Still working as it did on day one. Very solid, easy to use, and the unit is very quiet. Also no chucking. I highly recommend this product to anybody. We now have 2020 Cameo 12,000# unloaded weight. Pulls perfectly.

After a year I am still loving this hitch. I have had zero problems or issues with it. Hitching up and unhitching is so easy.

A year later and hitch is still great. Easy to hitch and unhitch. Much smoother ride and no bouncing within the hitch. Glad I bought it.

After a year, I love this hitch. It’s easy to hook up and unhook unlike the auto slider hitch it replaced. Paint is still good. Silver stuff is still silver. Has a small patch on the head where the camper hitch slides on. Unit performs well. It is quiet during turns. I feel safe using it. I will buy a curt hitch again if ever I need a new one.

The Curt Hitch is awesome! This hitch has made towing enjoyable. No more chucking when I am crossing bridges or hit dips.

The Curt A16 work very well all last year during extended travel time. We towed almost 7,000 miles from Texas to Florida to Seattle and Back to Texas. Everything work well but unhitching could be difficult if I used a Pivot Plate. With the Pivot Plate in place, it was hard to tell if the weight was off of the hitch in order to disconnect. I love the indicator that tells me if I am safe to tow or not, but I always test the connection before towing.

Good hitch, smoother than the Q series from Curt. You do have to lubricate it regularly. Do that and it should be trouble free.

Ive towed our 5th wheel with this hitch well over 10,000 miles. We have been to Mobile, Al twice and other places. The only thing that seems like was not designed well was access to the grease fittings. Plus I had to grind down the grease fitting on my grease gun to fit inside the holes of the hitch so that I could put fresh grease in. Other then that it has been a good hitch.
Do you have a question about this 5th Wheel Hitch?

Could not be happier with this hitch. Have never had any coupling or uncoupling problems even in odd angle situations. Does not rattle or let the trailer chuck around. Easy to move. In and out of the truck. The powder coating is fading and showing some signs of surface rust but this is most likely due to it living in the truck unprotected. I have since moved the hitch into a 2017 ram 2500 with the puck system. I bought the puck mount and every thing bolted up nicely. I keep the standard rail legs under the bed of the fifth wheel should I ever need to pull with a truck that doesn’t have pucks. This has happened once when our truck broke down. Would definitely recommend this hitch.
