Heavy-duty fifth-wheel trailer hitch has a dual jaw and color-coded lock indicator for superb safety and security. Self-aligning, pivoting head and included lube plate make hookup a snap. Rails and universal installation kit sold separately.
Features:
Specs:
Note: This fifth-wheel trailer hitch is not compatible with rotating pin boxes, such as the Reese Sidewinder, Reese Revolution, and 5th Airborne Sidewinder.
Unlike slide-bar models, the rounded, 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).
Curt's unique spherical axial bearing provides a durable pivot point that allows easy, 360-degree movement of the hitch head. This ball joint is designed for smooth, quiet operation with less clunking and chucking.

I had a 16K Husky 5th wheel hitch for 12 years. It came with the RV purchase. We upgraded to a larger 5th wheel in 2015. I pulled it with the K16 but due to wear on the hitch I didn't feel comfortable. I searched the internet and came upon etrailer.com. I began researching different hitches. I settled on Curt due to it's reviews. I placed an order with etrailer and the next day I got an email with all of the shipping and tracking information. I had the hitch in 5 days. I was very disappointed when it was delivered. The shipping box was very light duty and had been reinforced with pieces of cardboard damaged. There was also a lot of heavy duty staples holding it together. I took photos upon delivery. After I opened the box I found the hitch was damaged. I immediately sent an email with photos of the box as received and the damage to the hitch. I called customer service and talked to Gina and Janice and went over the details. I was given instructions for returning the hitch and was emailed necessary papers to ship it back at no charge. I dropped it off at UPS the same day and received notification in 3 days that it was received. I was also advised a new hitch would be sent out and I received it in 3 days. At first I was very upset but after. That quickly changed after talking to the staff and receiving the new hitch within 5 days. These type things sometimes happen. I give the staff at etrailer.com an applause for their quick handling of this issue. I have since made another purchase. Give them a try. 275867

I bought a new trailer recently that weighs 16k and I just didn't feel secure using my Reese pro series 16k to Haul with. So I started looking at various hitches. I've had 3 other fifth wheel hitches in the past. All of them have been 15 and 16k models. What I never liked was the latching system. I've even had a trailer come out of the hitch due to a poor latching hook up. There wasn't an good way to lock the hitch. Some of it was my fault and some was a poor design. When I saw the Curt Q20 had a latch on the handle and also was color coded I was hooked. This hitch satisfied my want list. It arrived 4 days after I ordered it and like other comments I've read it was full of heavy duty staples. It was double packaged. There had to be over 50 staples. It was defiantly packaged securely. After dimantaling the packing I finally got to the hitch. There were a few scratches on the hitch from all the staples but a bit of black touch up paint took care of that. After all the hitch is going to be used and get scrached by me anyways. Four bolts and it was together. It fit perfictly it my existing rails. By the way it's heavier than my other hitches. I wound be apprehensive to pull my new trailer. If your looking for a great hitch at a great price you can't go wrong. 344415

I ordered a Curt 20K hitch and custom mounting kit for my 2011 2500HD Chevy on a Friday and received it the following Friday which I consider to be very prompt shipping, The box it was shipped in arrived in a very beaten up condition I expected to find damage on the hitch but other than a few minor cosmetic blemishes everything was fine. The installation instructions were pretty good I did'nt have any problem following them, I had expected pulling the side plate bolts thru the frame with a fish wire to be a problem but it turned out to be very easy to do. Putting togeather the bolts from the hitch rails thru the truck bed and tighening them was difficult but I think if I had been 40 years younger it would have been no problem, The major problem was the heat shield over the exhaust system I had to pull a couple bolts and bend it down to get my arm under it. In the instructions they say a gearwrench would help in tightning the bolts I found that to be good advice much better than trying to use a combination wrench. I'm still in the process of breaking in my truck so I haven't tried pulling with the hitch yet but it appears to be well built and designed. e-trailer was easy to work with I had absolutly no problems and would buy from them again. 8897

I just finished installing the bed rails yesterday (bear cat) on my 2017 Chevy Silverado 3500HD and installed the Curt (C16130) hitch. I've not towed or hauled any trailers with it yet so I don't know how it will perform. I previously used a Husky (15K) hitch which I really liked. The Husky was getting old and showing signs of wear and I didn't like the clanks and squeaks. The Curt hitch went in easily though it a fewer height adjustments.....height adjustment holes are two inches apart versus 1.5 inches on the Husky. It is a stout (and heavy) hitch. I frequently put my hitch in an out and the Husky could easily be broken down into two parts....reducing the weight. The Curt appears difficult (at least so far) to break down into two parts. I did it twice and had to use a crow bar to separate the head from the legs. It's way too heavy to handle in one piece....as are most fifth wheel hitches. Maybe it loosens up after use and comes apart easier.....I hope. I assume it will provide great service and eliminate the noise and chucking and had with my old hitch. 422859

Received hitch as ordered. Assembly and installation was simple , took approximately 30 minutes. Only issue was the shipping carton was damaged and some scratching of finish occurred during the shipping. 193294
Product works great, price was fair and tows well. Removing from the truck is siple as the unit can be removed in two pieces making the weight more manageable.

I purchased this hitch when I upgraded trucks. I now have a long bed and have no need for the old DrawTite slider I used in my shortbed. WOW what a difference in towing this hitch made. Just completed a 12 hr pull from Oklahoma to Colorado and this hitch along with my TrailRide kingpin box made the ride so smooth it was easy to forget the 5er was even there. Easy/secure connection. Absolutely NO king pin rattle or chucking like my old DrawTite. Uncoupling took me a few tries, but i figured it out. The king pin has to be at just the right height to allow disengagement. Like others have mentioned, the box it came in was trashed, but the contents were unharmed; not even a scratch. Its a heavy item for carboard and who cares what the box looks like. It just gets thrown away anyhow. Would ABSOLUTELY recommended! !!!!!! Great product. 47108

Unlike other reviews...I will say that my packages all arrived in perfect condition. (Boxes were all intact). Assembling the Q20 is a breeze and by all appearances this hitch certainly seems to be more than adequate for my needs. I haven't had a chance to actually use it yet...but from what I can tell, I certainly don't expect any issues. I like the way the hitch latches and unlatches, and that you can add a lock to prevent someone from opening the jaws while you are parked somewhere. I think the only thing I'll add is a lock in place of one of the pins...just to make it difficult for someone to remove and steal the hitch. 289612
A year later...and everything still works like a charm. Ive had zero issues with this Q20 Hitch!

Great hitch. Used several times. Love the way it comes apart into two pieces for ease of carrying when taking it out and putting it back in. Locks the trailer in tight too. Gets my trailer to were I want to with no problems. 388350
by: Craig A.09/04/2017
I have just used the hitch on some very short pulls, nothing long yet. However, I can tell it is much quitter and does not seem to chuck as much as my old hitch. Appears to be very well built. Heavier than the old 15K hitch I had before. The only down I can find right now is that there is not a good place to hook up the emergency stop brake cable. I was able to rig up a connector that works just fine. 428791

Very nice hitch. Looks way better than my old Reese. Easy to use. Doesn't rattle around when I'm driving down the road unhitched. Install was a bit challenging due to the confined spaces and the heat shield that is very difficult to remove on a GMC. It took about 7 hours, but that included a couple of trips to Lowes for tools. You will need a 3/4" gear wrench for installation and definitely should drop the spare tire on the GMC. Fishing the bolts through the frame was not as tough as I thought it would be. I would recommend this hitch and buying from e-trailer. Also, E-trailer was fantastic as they upgraded my shipping for free and had this thing to me in 2 days! Great service! 6431

I bought this hitch just over a year ago and I have been very happy with it. I'm using it to tow an 18k lb toy hauler and it does a great job. I really like the zerk fittings for lubrication, makes it very simple to keep things working smoothly. I really can't think of a single issue that I've had with it. Great hitch and I would certainly recommend Curt products to my friends. etrailer.com was also great to deal with. I got my hitch very quickly after ordering. The only minor issue was that it did not come with pins to attach the hitch to the bed rails. Since I was replacing another hitch I already had a set and didn't worry about it. Overall I am very happy with this purchase. 281340

I ordered the hitch on a Sunday evening of a holiday weekend, I received the shipping information on Monday of the holiday and was able to track it all to the way to my door, couldn't ask for better order tracking. The hitch was double boxed with a lot of staples and arrived in excellent shape a package that heavy is going to have some external wear IMO from all the handling. The hitch came delivered in 3 piece which allowed for easy moving into the bed of the truck. The hitch has very nice and hopefully durable finish . I have yet to tow with it but like the indicator colors and the positive locking system. 388900
by: Bill S04/16/2014
So far, I rate working with etrailer folks as excellent. I can't say that about the package for shipping. It was a mess--think of a hard boiled egg that has been dropped and rolled on the floor. The box resembled the shell of that egg! Some minor scarring which I repainted to prevent any rust forming. The legs were literally bouncing around in the box which caused the scarring. I haven't used the hitch yet but from all appearance it will do a great job. I did hook and unhook from the 5th wheel with no problem. Bill S 125386

I ordered the Curt Q20 hitch. The unit arrived exactly when they said it would and in excellent condition. None of the parts were missing and the instructions were well written and easy to follow. I assembled the hitch in the bed of the truck in about 1 hour. It was very easy to put together even though I had never assembled one before. Unless you have some friends to help I recommend assembly in the bed of the truck since the hitch weighs 130 lbs. assembled. All in all I am very pleased with the hitch and the purchase. 247294

Package held up well considering the weight. It was roughed up a bit, but nothing missing or damaged. Good and solid hitch. I replaced an E16 with this one and the difference is unbelieveable. Had a little trouble getting the head apart, but it was just stuck in the rubber. Etrailler tech told me how to fix it and it came out easily. Did a practice hook to check the proper height of the hitch and it hooked so smooth I wasn't sure it even latched. Looking forward to our first pull to see how it feels going down the road. 334333

Absolutely Perfect! I installed this hitch the day it came (upgraded to accomodate a larger 5th wheel I bought) and could not be more pleased. I've had a number of 5th wheels over the past 25 years and this hitch is hands down the best I've ever towed with. Hitching and unhitching is a piece of cake and it tows beautifully (and quietly!). It fit my existing rails perfectly. As usual, etrailer had the best price, fastest shipping (was free shipping in this case), and top notch customer support. They keep me coming back! 1664
by: Scott T05/18/2017
Just received hitch and it is exactly what I was looking for. Have not installed in the truck yet but do not have any worries about it not meeting expectations. The team at etrailer was great. I had a slight problem at check out and was getting charged shipping (even tho site said free shipping) and they corrected order right away. Hitch was delivered to my door 3 days after it was ordered. Great experience will use them again. 381813

Hitch arrived in excellent condition. Had been backordered, but it arrived sooner than expected. As always Etrailer's staff is more than helpful and pleasant. Price match made it an extremely good deal. Haven't towed with it yet, but going this weekend and I don't expect to be anything but happy with it. Etrailer is now my go-to source for anything towing - 251788
Still very pleased with the Q20. Love the fact that the receiver plate stays flat so it is easy to see if trailer and hitch are aligned height wise - always a positive connection. Release is smooth and effortless. Would not hesitate to recommend this hitch.

Ordered the Q20 curt hitch, Great product, came as expected and installed as easy as the video described. Cost savings for the hitch and install kit was around 200.00. Priced the install it too was around 400.00! Overall savings around 600.00! Will use etrailer again and will refer others to shop etrailer for their trailing products! Thanks George! 232001

Just pulled my Voltage 3950 yesterday with this hitch and I cannot be more satisfied! The whole process from start to finish with etrailer.com was awesome. Yes, a little damage to the box but hey, if it means I get a quality hitch at a lower price then so be it. I'd rather them not overspend on shipping. Can't thank y'all enough. 303158

i have not got this installed yet because i am waiting on missing parts.looks great and high quality. Curt mfg. needs to put this in a better box, by the time it got to my location the box was torn and parts were missing . the outside of the box said that the box is reusable, mine is not. just need a stronger box for shipping 194318
by: Shawn M.01/28/2017
I have not actually used the product yet, but know it will be great. The service from ETrailer was phenomenal! I ordered on Monday and it was delivered on Friday afternoon without having to pay an extra fee. The price saved me $900 compared to the price the RV store was quoting me. I am thoroughly pleased. 336332
by: Mike D.05/07/2017
Arrived in great condition, fast delivery, great price. I had no problem taking out my old 5th wheel and putting the new Curt in its place. We have pulled only once since getting it but could feel a big difference in the smoother pull with no noise, no bucking and chucking, just a much smoother ride. 377510
by: Greg05/03/2017
Great hitch at awsome price. Bought used with slightly bent release handle that was described in the listing. Doesn't affect how it works and was able to save almost 200$. Hitch works great, overkill for what I'm pulling but definitely way better than entry level hitch would be for same price. 375565

Curt fifthwheel hitch Q20 it came like scuffed but nots no big deal the hitch is well built but two of the main bolts wasn't very much leeway to tourqe the bolts down to [specs] I could of been a little wider area or I could just have a older tourqe wrench lol. I would recommend this to anyone 347498
by: Lanny06/02/2016
Ordered during etrailer's free shipping promotion. Got my order quicker than anticipated. The box that tries to contain the hitch is pretty humble, but all the parts/pieces seem to be here. That is what is important. As other's have said, we didn't order the box, but the contents. 256105
Good to go!
Lanny - 06/02/2017 by: Steve S03/11/2017
I bought a Curt 5TH wheel hitch and it took a bit longer to install then I planned for but It has worked great the customer service is fantastic! I have told my friends about Etrailer and two of them have bought their hitches from Etrailer you will not find a better price. 355377

Product was received today, like most responders I found the packing ripped and torn. Everything was there however and it appears to be in unmarked condition. One of the plastic bags containing bolts etc had broken open but all parts were inside the largest packing box. 218486

It jaws are hard to lock I am trying to use this hitch with a Trailair Air Ride Pin Box, the only way I can get the jaws to lock onto the pin is to use two teflon disk, I know this is a Trailair problem but this pin box locked into my Reese 6K hitch with no problems. 302

THE Q20 CURT 5TH HITCH WAS DELIVERED IN GOOD SHAPE, PACKING HELD UP WELL. IT WAS EASY TO ASSEMBLE,RECEIVED THE HITCH IN 4 DAYS EXCELLENT!!!! SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT, VERY PROFESSIONAL STAFF ANSWERD ALL MY QUESTIONS WITHOUT HAVEING TO ASK SOMEONE ELSE GOOD JOB. 278942
by: Dale M06/02/2017
Product was delivered in a few days, and well packaged. Instructions were very clear, and instalation was simple as the rails were already in the truck I removed a Valley Fifth Wheel, and this went right into where it was. Great product. Very happy with it. 387971

Best hitch yet couldn't believe the improvement over the hijacker I had before so smooth, also I required a low profile hitch and this one was the lowest with both movements. I would recommend this hitch to anyone 3081
by: johns08/19/2015
Very easy install for me. The Q20 is replacing an older hitch so the rails are already installed. The Q20 was very easy to assemble, but if you need the lowest position, tightening the bolts can be a challenge. 220313

Installed by GMC dealer where truck was being purchased and it has been very easy to work with when connecting and disconnecting my 5th wheel. The color coded handle bar is easily read. Almost works itself! 361123

Theese guys r on the ball. I screwed up and ordered 2wire harnesses and i called to get it changed and Dillon straightened it out with a cheaper alternative. Hitch Came The Next Day! I am very satisfied. 244034

Quality Hitch I tow RV's for a living. I have 70,000 towing miles on my Q5. I have had no problems with this hitch. I tow many 15,000lb 5er's. I love the fact its light weight and greaseable. 1661
by: Jim B.08/20/2017
Upgraded to this hitch to get more capacity, and another feature that has come in handy is the hitch is in 2 pieces so it is not too heavy to install and remove from the back of my truck. 422938
