Specs:
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).
Most often used on trucks with 6' and 6-1/2' beds, this roller 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.
Non-Binding Design
The round-tube design of this slider allows for relatively uninhibited movement of your fifth-wheel hitch. Because your hitch can glide smoothly and easily along the rods, there is less chance of binding.
With straight, flat contact points, as found with square-tube sliders, tension can build between the slider and the hitch when your truck and trailer are somewhat out of line or are on uneven ground. As a result, it can be difficult to properly activate the slider when your truck and trailer are not in a straight line.
With a round-tube slider, there is more give between the contacting surfaces, allowing better mobility of the hitch system. Fewer corners means less tension buildup. Activating a round-tube slider is easier, and operation as a whole is smoother.

Rails and universal installation kit sold separately.Very heavy duty hitch. Initially had some concerns so ordered the 20,000 lbs. instead of the 16000. Very good service from the etrailer representatives. Had some concerns on how long the delivery was going to take, however they were able to get it to me in a very short time. Thank you to the individuals who helped with my order. Danny 340534
The product arrived 1 day earlier than promised. The instructions were decent, they could of been more inclusive of the different setups, the hitch and sliders didn’t reference how to interface with the Ram puck base. The rubber gaskets for the slider base didn’t fit with the Ram base due to their thickness. You need a 100lbs torque wrench(I rented one from Orielys). All the parts were present. The bad may not of been etrailers fault, but the boxes arrived like they were dropped out of an airplane. Amazingly, nothing was damaged. 712034
Now this is what I'm talking about. This hitch is great! Very tough, rugged, dependable for all your 5th wheel towing needs. Easy smooth operation to switch from maneuverable position for those tight and sometimes hard to get into spots. Switching to towing mode is a breeze. This hitch limits that bucking and chugging effect as you tow down the highway. Easy to install and in my case I got the over kill with this 18,000 pound towing capacity. I only have a 13,000 pound RV; however I wanted that peace of mind knowing that I have enough strength and security behind me in the bed of my truck. Thanks etrailer for offering great products. 686855
The R20 Roller and the A20 Slider were both pretty easy to install. Except for the weight (Those Things Are HEAVY) It was a straight forward install. What I like is the Quality of the Curt Products. They are a very high Quality product in my opinion. I plan on the wife and I and our Two Main Coons are planning a cross country trip. So I am very excited to get out on the open Road and see where life takes us. What WAS a bear to install was the Rail Kit. It required lots of trips out from under 402224
I'm happy with the hitch operation. It arrived missing some hardware (the four bolts that mount the hitch to the slider and the handle spring), but Carol at etrailer followed up and stayed on it until I received the missing parts. I've used the slider once in a tight turn situation and it gave great clearance from the cab. The handle that allows the slider to move requires some muscle to operate - I can't do it from beside the truck, I have to stand on the tire or use a short ladder. I'm six foot tall. The hitch operates well. I'd say we have made about ten RV trips, so I have gained some experience. It couples and decouples easily - as long as there's no push/pull forces. There's no way I could take the entire hitch out (with the RAM puck adapter) as one unit. But the whole assembly with break down (without tools) into three pieces that can be removed by two people. Only important if having access to the truck bed is important. 865445
Emily was my sales person and technical expert. She was awesome in helping me determine the appropriate hitch to tow my new fifth wheel. It was challenging thinking through the selection but she stepped me through a methodical process to pick the Curt A20. It is a well design and rugged unit. Thank you, Emily. 844709
very good service 791036
Excellent equipment. I pull a heavier 5th wheel with a truck that has a 6 3/4 ft bed, and the slider works well. Equipment still looks brand new a year later, and I’ve never had a problem. Only reason for four stars is that the operating levers could be easier to use when putting it into slider mode. Might be difficult for some. Otherwise this was a great value for the money and is a solid, well built and engineered piece of equipment. 737868
Looks great and very heavy (good and bad). Instructions not great but it is not too tough to figure out. Had to tweak it a little to get it to drop in the adapter but that’s typical on most of the hitches I have had until they are used some. 737120
haven't used it yet, but went together well and slides very well. Just need picture or instruction to put handle on and where the spring goes. 732770
Don H - 12/18/2020I chose this setup for the slider option to help with clearance on my Ram 2500. Seems easy to operate and is well built. The head breakdowns with a simple removal shaft so it lightens the unit for easier transport in and out of the bed. 727499
I installed this Hitch on my 2015 F350 6.7l one year ago and absolutely love it.. I have been faithful to the Reese Pro series for ever, so this was a very tough decision to go with Curt and all I can say is that I definitely made the right decision. The hitch fits perfectly under my Pace Edward Jack Rabbit tonneau cover because the release handle lays flat. This enables me to just pull the cover closed after I drop the camper thus keeping the hitch out of sight and my bed dry/extra storage. Now on to function: The slide mechanism works flawlessly and that with a pin weight of 2800lbs. (The Reese always made me fight with the release level) The pin has Zero chuckle Release handle is fantastic, I have been at some odd angles and have never had an issue releasing the pin. What else can I say except I would buy this hitch again in a heart beat. 642137
Great hitch, best price around. Would buy another one on a heart beat. The jaws hold the pin nice and tight. 616004
Casey J - 04/03/2020I've had this hitch for a year now, and everything is working great. Excellent fit and finish. 605897

hitch was good . box was all beat to hell. some paint missing where dropped or slid on ground. hitch went together as expected and looks like it will be right. I will find out when I go to pull the RV. 553929
Perfect fit, easy installation, fast shipping, good price. Pictures attached in a 2017 2500HD Z71 Midnight Edition. 511699
I got in the A20 with slider 4 days after I ordered very quick. Came in two boxes. It is heavy to work with but I got it together by myself the directions were good. This was an upgrade and went right onto my existing rails. I needed the extra extra height of this hitch to level my camper. 503889
Erica B you are the greatest , your customer support was ABOVE & BEYOND you did more for me than most company's ever do . Keep up the good work . Only if we could get the manufactures [CURT] to do what you did. Thanks once again Erica you made my day and then some . Tom 500956
All put together it is heavy and solid. Not difficult to assemble. 494144
Great product ,straight forward install only took 4 hours on the ground, a plus that it separates to make lighter 483302
I am extremely impressed with not only my new Curt 5th wheel hitch which I expected to be perfect but more importantly with the customer service that I received from the etrailer.com staff. They took considerable time to discuss different hitch options with me to help me decide which hitch would be the perfect choice for my specific needs. This was my 1st 5th wheel hitch purchase so I had very limited knowledge and they helped educate & guide me through the process. I saved hundreds of dollars purchasing my hitch through etrailer.com and would recommend them to anyone looking to purchase any type of hitch. Great job etrailer and thank you for all of your help and guidance !!! 477544
Very solid hitch. I like the color coded indicator system, but I seldom look at it because the double jaw opens cleanly when unhitching and latches securely when hitching. I have yet to use the slider. I did have to call Curt for assistance with misalignment of the hitch head and roller base. They had the needed spacer to me in four days. Great purchase to delivery times by etrailer and Curt. 474918
Hitch is rock solid and the slide works smoothly. Shipping was very fast and packaged well, thanks etrailer. 469480
