Secure, Interlocking Two-Piece 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
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.

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: Todd01/27/2024
The hitch has worked well for us . I wish it would go up 2 inches higher as it is close to the box have not had any problems though
by: Chris09/10/2021
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: James09/11/2021
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: Gary 11/08/2023
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: Mark J09/28/2023
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.
by: Mark 04/28/2024
Great customer service, thanks for the help…
by: Samuel09/16/2021
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.

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.
by: Jerry09/13/2021
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!

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
by: George 01/16/2020
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: Aaron 08/17/2022
Worked perfect! Just installed it this Evening test it later this week! Thanks again etrailer!
by: RBS06/09/2022
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: Donald09/03/2022
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: Everett04/12/2018
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: John Lyp01/23/2020
This fifth wheel is very noisy and a loose connection. I would not recommend it.
by: Clifton08/18/2019
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: Dennis K.06/07/2020
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: John11/04/2018
It’s held up great. No slack in the kingpin jaws or anywhere else. All the products bought work just the way they were advertised.

I’ve pulled my fifth wheel a little over 10,000 miles and still works great. No problems with any of it.
by: Steven 09/17/2021
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!

- Converting Curt A25 Fifth Wheel Hitch for Ram Prep Package to Fit Reese Above Bed RailsTo adapt your Curt A25 fifth wheel hitch designed to fit Ram pucks all you'd need is the Curt Leg Kit part # C16907 which will convert your hitch to fit the above bed rails you have now and would essentially convert it to the A25 part # C16180. This hitch fits the Reese rails as well as several other brands of rails since they all make them to the same dimensions.
view full answer... - Highest Rated 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500 Without PucksThe highest rated fifth wheel hitch available for a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 without prep package is the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16180 which is rated for 25,000 lbs. In order to install the Curt A25 you will need to use the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit part # C16429-204. The Curt A25 is a great setup, one of my favorites actually due to the secure interlocking dual jaw design which limits movement. Unfortunately, you will be stuck with rails in the truck...
view full answer... - Comparing the Curt A25 and Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer HitchThe main difference between the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16180 and the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16265 is the hitch head. The head on the A25 is far superior to the head on the Q25 because it has an interlocking jaw system that grips the kingpin tightly so very minimal movement is allowed, it offers a one pin head removal system. The overall feel of the head is just much smoother on the A-Series when compared to the Q-Series. I have attached a photo to show...

- Solution for Needing Replacement Head for Curt A25 Fifth Wheel HitchFor the Curt A25 fifth wheel hitch # C16180 the only solution for a replacement head would be with the Replacement Head Unit part # C16580 that you mentioned as just the head is not available.

view full answer... - Will Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Fit Same Rails as a Reese 20K in a 2013 Chevy Silverado 3500Since 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...
view full answer... - Replacement 3 Inch Goosneck Ball for Unknown Gooseneck Hitch on 2008 Ford F-350 Long BedGooseneck hitches typically use a 2-5/16 inch ball, but occasionally you'll see a 3 inch. Without knowing the manufacturer and model or part number of your gooseneck hitch, I wouldn't be able to speculate on a replacement ball. You can look at the underside of the hitch and see if there are any part numbers or manufacturer info, and reply with any info you can find and I'd be happy to see if anything we offer would be compatible. Lacking that information, my best recommendation for you...
view full answer... - Difference Between Curt A25 and Q25 5th Wheel Hitches for 2017 GMC Sierra 3500The Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16180 and the Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16265 are both fantastic hitches and extremely similar to each other. Both will provide a 25,000 pound towing weight capacity, an interlocking 2-Jaw system for a secure connection, and a 4 inch height adjustment. The primary difference between the two models is that the A25 # C16180 is essentially an upgraded version of the Q25. The head on the A25 hitch is constructed of stronger material and addresses/resolves...
view full answer... - Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2020 Ford F-250 with and without Factory Puck SystemI can absolutely make a 5th wheel hitch recommendation for your potential 2020 Ford F-250, whether you get it with the factory puck system in the bed or not. Starting with my recommendation for the factory puck setup, I really like the Curt A25 5th Wheel Hitch # C16036. This will drop right down into those pucks and it features an interlocking 2-jaw system that will completely wrap around the trailer's king pin. What this does is not only provide an extremely secure connection with the...
view full answer... - Recommended Gooseneck-to-5th-wheel Adapter For A 2013 Ram 3500 Short BedThere is an adapter that you can use with your 2013 Ram 3500, however there is not an adapter that will work with your existing gooseneck setup and provide pucks. Instead, you'd be adding industry standard above-bed rails. The Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Trailer Hitches - 20,000 lbs # C16210 will work for you if you have a standard gooseneck ball hole, and # 16310 will work if you have the square B&W Turnoverball square ball hole. Since these rails...
view full answer... - Recommended Aftermarket Puck System For A 2013 Chevy Silverado 2500 For a 2013 Chevy Silverado 2500 you would need the Elite Series Under-Bed Gooseneck Complete Hitch # RP30158-68. This aftermarket underbed puck system follows Ford's puck spacing so you would need to swap out the base of your Curt A25 # C16180 with part # C16017 in order to mount into the pucks.
view full answer... - Weight of Curt C16180 A25 5th Wheel Hitch for 2022 Ford F350 With OEM Puck SystemThe Curt A25 5th wheel hitch you'd looked at, part # C16180 weighs about 120 lbs, and the necessary # C88KR base rail to puck adapter weighs right at 70 lbs. The hitch is a bit heavy, but its weight can be significantly reduced by removing the hitch from the head, which is done by pulling one clevis pin. This breaks the hitch down into two pieces that are more easily handled. If you'd like to install a 7-way in your truck bed so you don't have to run the trailer connector up over the...

You can see where the base rails are placed based on your truck's bed size from one diagram, while the other shows the dimensions between the base rails. The horizontal holes that measure 20-1/2 inches are where you will place the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16180. So overall, the A25 # C16180 itself...

- 25k Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 Long BedIn the 25k capacity we only have the Curt hitches for your 2015 GMC Sierra like the A25 part # C16180. This is a really great hitch though with a recently redesigned and improved jaw that is very quiet and smooth. To install it in your 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 long bed you'd want the custom install kit part # C16411-204 and you'd be set.
view full answer... - Comparing Curt A-25 and Q-25 5th Wheel HitchesThere are a few differences between the Curt A25 part # C16180 and Curt Q25 part # C16265. The most notable is the jaw design. The A-Series has a dual interlocking jaw system which forms a much tighter grip on the kin pin therefore provides a smoother ride. The Q-Series has dual locking jaws but they don't interlock. The A-Series also has a one pin head removal system which helps when frequently installing or removing the hitch. The dampening mechanism built-into the head is different as...
view full answer... - Is There Curt A25 Fifth Wheel Hitch that Fits OEM Pucks of 2015 Ford F-450Curt 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.

These legs will allow you to convert the rail mount to the puck system on a 2020+ GM truck.

For your 2012 Ram 3500 dually long bed the similar system that is a confirmed fit is # C16420-204. This is a custom fit and I've attached a couple videos to assist. If you don't yet have a hitch, I recommend the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs # C16180. This hitch is an easy to use option with significant capacity...

The B&W OEM Companion # BWRVK3715 and the Curt A25 # C16180 for the factory pucks on your 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 represent the very peak of fixed 5th wheel hitches on the market. Between the two options though I do recommend the B&W Companion # BWRVK3715 and I will go over my reasoning below. Both hitches feature a dual jaw design that's built to provide a really secure connection with the trailer as well as a smooth ride during travel. The B&W Companion...

I've attached a photo of the dimensions for industry standard rails that you can compare yours to.

If you install it yourself it will take about 80 minutes, and if you have a professional install it will take about 40 minutes.

Since it mounts to standard base rails, all you need is the Curt R24 Round Tube Slider # C16570. Though it says it is for the Q-Series, Curt has confirmed for us that the A25 head unit has the same bolt pattern and that it will fit this slider base.
