Secure, Interlocking Two-Piece Jaw

A20 Two-Piece Interlocking JawA20 Two-Piece Interlocking 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

A20 Color 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.



by:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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.

I will send your information to our customer service team and they will be able to get you the pieces you are missing! Thank you for letting us know.



by:

Great customer service, thanks for the help…



by:

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



by:

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.



by:

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:

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!



by:

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:

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:

Worked perfect! Just installed it this Evening test it later this week! Thanks again etrailer!



by:

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:

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:

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:

This fifth wheel is very noisy and a loose connection. I would not recommend it.



by:

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:

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:

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.

John

I’ve pulled my fifth wheel a little over 10,000 miles and still works great. No problems with any of it.



by:

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!

  • Fitting A New 5th Wheel Hitch On A Truck With Older Style Rails
    I do have a solution that will allow you to keep the Demco Hijacker Premier Series Mounting Brackets # DM8552027 that are already installed on your vehicle. You will have to change your existing older style rails for universal rails that will fit newer style hitches. The Universal Above-Bed Base Rails for Demco # DM6071 will work great, as this will bolt up to your current brackets. For the 5th wheel hitch itself, I recommend either the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16120 or the...

  • Recommended Gooseneck-to-5th-wheel Adapter For A 2013 Ram 3500 Short Bed
    There 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...

  • What Is the Weight Capacity of the Curt Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for a 2019 Ram 3500
    For starters, the fifth wheel install kit I recommend for a 2019 Ram 3500 is the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit part # C16430-204 which does not require any drilling into the frame. The Curt Semi-Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kits does save money but is not a good option because it requires drilling into the frame. In regards to weight capacity, there isn't one for the base rails or frame brackets because this will come from the fifth wheel hitch. In other words, the weight...

  • Highest Capacity Fifth Wheel Hitch and Gooseneck Solution for 2006 Dodge Ram 3500
    The problem is we don't have any gooseneck setups that have a 36k capacity at all, and the options that allow for both gooseneck and fifth wheel have considerably lower capacity than you'd need.

  • Will Curt 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Install Brackets Fit 2015 Ford F-350 with DEF Tank
    Yes, the Curt fifth wheel trailer hitch bracket kit # C16424-204 will fit in your 2015 Ford F-350 that has a DEF tank. The kit will mount industry standard rails in your truck's bed for a hitch like the Curt A25 # C16180. If you'd also like to install a 7-way trailer connector in the truck's bed you can use # C56000. I've linked some videos on each product for you as well.

  • Will Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Fit Same Rails as a Reese 20K in a 2013 Chevy Silverado 3500
    Since 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...

  • Replacement 3 Inch Goosneck Ball for Unknown Gooseneck Hitch on 2008 Ford F-350 Long Bed
    Gooseneck 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...

  • Converting Curt A25 Fifth Wheel Hitch for Ram Prep Package to Fit Reese Above Bed Rails
    To 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.

  • Recommended Custom Fit Base Rails and 25K 5th Wheel Hitch on 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500
    For your 2020 Silverado 2500, if you don't have the factory pucks then I recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC Truck - Carbide Finish # C16429-204 which are the custom fit for your truck. If you install it yourself it will take about 80 minutes, and if you have a professional install it will take about 40 minutes. If you don't know the weight of your trailer or think you may upgrade in size at some point, I recommend going with the 25K. Most trailers are...

  • Recommended Fifth Wheel Hitch With 25000lb Towing Capacity For 2021 Ford F-250 With OEM Prep Pkg
    I have another option but currently there are no Curt Fifth Wheel hitches with a towing capacity of at least 25000lbs that work with the OEM Prep Package on your 2021 Ford F-250 Short Bed. Since your Grand Design has a turning point rotating pin box you will be able to use a Fixed Hitch instead of a slider which is commonly needed for short bed trucks.

  • How to Convert Curt A25 5th Wheel Hitch to Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch
    You can absolutely convert your standard Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16180 to a sliding 5th wheel hitch. 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. I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well.

  • Differences Between Curt A25 C16180 and Q25 C16265 5th Wheel Hitches
    The hitch jaws that grip the 5th wheel's king pin and the suspension system (for the lack of a better term) for the hitch head are the main differences between the A25 and the Q25. The A25 like the # C16180 uses an interlocking jaw system that does a better job of holding the king pin tightly, making contact with the king pin all around its 360° circumference. This leads to less rattling and banging which makes for a more comfortable ride. The A25 use a torsion dampening system in the...

    Reese base rails like the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit with Base Rails # RP50074-58 that fit your 2017 Ford F-350 are known as industry-standard base rails, which means yes, you will absolutely be able to use the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16180. This hitch mounts directly onto industry-standard base rails so you will be able to mount it and get the full capacity of the hitch.

    Typically you'll only want to use 80-85% of any item's total capacity to keep a buffer safety zone so that you never risk having a product fail. You're correct that the only Companions at 25k capacity are for OEM puck systems. B&W is a great brand and is my favorite as well, but in this case they're not going to have anything compatible with with the # BWGNRK1116-5W that's going to have over 20k capacity, so you'll have to look at another brand.

    Yes, in order to install a Curt Custom 5th Wheel Bracket Kit (or any other 5th wheel bracket kit) on your 2017 Ram 2500 your existing gooseneck hitch would need to be removed as both systems require the same mounting space on the frame rails. The correct Curt Rail Kit for your Ram is actually the part # C16427-204. The kit you were looking at is designed for earlier model years of the Ram 2500.

    The Reese Goose Box # RP94720 has an integrated air back and shock system that will help on rough terrain. It works very much the same as some pin boxes like the Trailair Flex Air- 21,000 lbs # RP85FR. The issue you will find is that your trailer weight given is greater than the pin boxes we carry. The Goose Box is only rated for 20K and our pin boxes max at 21K. For the capacity you are seeking, I recommend the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch- 25,000 lbs # C16180 which has a fully...

The Curt A25 is designed to fit industry standard fifth wheel rails with its original legs. You can either switch the legs of the hitch to fit into the factory holes or use a gooseneck to fifth wheel adapter. The best way to adapt the A25 is to switch out the legs.

The 18k from B&W is the Patriot not a Companion, therefore the # BWRVC3006 would not fit on the Patriot base. The best and easiest way to increase your 5th wheel hitch to 25k would be to use the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16180 which will attach directly to your industry standard base rails.

Not only does the A25 come with a 25,000 pound maximum towing capacity and a 6,250 pound maximum vertical weight capacity, it comes with a dual-jaw design which has a better king pin connection and quieter ride than sliding jaw models.
