Features:
Specs:
Note: This fifth-wheel hitch is compatible with rotating pin boxes, such as the Reese Sidewinder, Reese Revolution, and 5th Airborne Sidewinder, only when used with a wedge (sold separately).
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).

Today we're going to take a look at the Curt A25 Dual Jaw Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch with a 25,000 pound weight capacity. Now this fifth wheel hitch will mount in your truck bed so that you can tow your fifth wheel trailer. This uses high strength, inter-locking and a two jaw system right here, provides a 360 degree jaw to kingpin contact. The jaws will fully wrap around the kingpin to fully minimize any noise. Gives you less rattle, more security than any of the slide bar models. The head on this is a fully articulating head instead of just front to back and side to side like most fifth wheels.
This will actually fully articulate, gives you control couplings and a nice, stable, quiet ride. It will self-align for easy hookup. Also, suppresses any rood shock and reduces the bothersome towing noise. Now, it does have two built in grease zirc fittings. One on each jaw right here in the front, you can see. That gives you easy lubrication of the jaws.
You can just attach your grease gun to that and pump grease into there. Now, this will insure secure towing. It uses a three point color coded lock indicator system. What I'm going to do is swing this around to show you that. It's one if its main features on this hitch. If we swing it around, once we get it all the way around, we should be able to see.
Here's the color coded system. This will give you . What it basically does right now you can see it showing a green circle. What that's telling you is the jaws are fully locked closed, you're ready to tow. If you go to open this, let me just go ahead and pull the pin and clip and then I'm going to pull the handle, and we're opened the dual jaws.
You can see it switched to a yellow triangle. That means the jaws are open, you're ready to couple. It will also show a red octagon, which will mean the jaws are locked open, it's uncoupled. So you do not want to tow. It will self-reset. What's nice about this color coded system, these lock indicators are visible from the cab. The handles, as I showed you, it's just a simple single throw handle operation, helps open the dual jaws, has a pin and clip right here that you can drop in there to keep the handle in the closed position. It will self-reset to the ready to couple position after you couple your trailer. The hole is large enough that when you do close it, you could put a padlock through there if you want. We do sell those separately for added security. Also, you notice this big handle here, if you pull the clip off on this side, you can pull this one pin out, makes head removal really easy. It allows one person to basically take this apart and take it off the tow vehicle. I am going to swing this around. Now it does come with everything shown here on the table. Comes with a nice set of detailed instructions on how to install and how it operates. Comes with the four pins and clips. When these do drop into the rails on your tow vehicle, you can put these pins and clips in there to hold it into place. It comes with this plastic lube place. The lube plate is nice because you put that on your kingpin and it'll help that kingpin glide smoothly into the hitch during hook up and it'll prevent any messy grease buildup. Also on the side, we bolted these legs to the center cross-member. There is a range. There's about four rows of holes here. It will give you a four inch hitch height adjustment, any where from 13 inches to 17 inches. In hitch height is always measured from the truck bed to the top of the hitch head. The reason it gives you a range is because all vehicles are different. You do want to keep your fifth wheel as level as possible when it's being towed with your tow vehicle. It is a very simple installation. It installs on the base rails. Now the base rales and the installation kit . We do sell that separately on our website. What you might want to do is go to the website, use our fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle. It will show you what base rails and installation kit are available. This is compatible. It will work with B&W, Curt, Demko, Draw Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, Reese, and Valley Above that base rails. This hitch is a sturdy steel construction. It has a nice durable carbide powder coat finish to it. A few specks on this. Again, the gross towing weight capacity is 25,000 pounds. Vertical load limit or pin weight capacity, 6,250 pounds. I'd mentioned the range of the hitch height adjustment is 13 inches to 17 inches. Basically, I pull the handle back, you can see the jaws are open. It's showing yellow back here so it's ready to couple. I want to give you an idea here's what a kingpin would look like on your fifth wheel. Basically when your kingpin slides in between the jaws, you can see once it gets far enough, the jaws completely close around it. The handle goes and locks into position here. All you have to do is take your pin, drop it through the holes, clip it right into position, and the handle won't move, and you're all locked in and ready to go. Simple as that. That should do it for the review on the Curt A25 Dual Jaw Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch with the 25,000 pound weight capacity.

I was happy with the transaction with etrailer. The website was very helpful in finding what I needed. The product was received ahead of the committed date. The only problem was with the packaging. Some of the boxes were pretty beat-up and the parts were scratched with the finish damaged. That was a little disappointing. 721445
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. 694140
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. 691153
This makes life real easy. The hitch works great and is a real improvement over my older model. 590416
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. 580001
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. 579604
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. 495638

I received the hitch in 2 boxes, 1 was damaged but the contents were ok. Delivery was on time. Assembly and installation went relatively well, took about an hour. I have not had a chance to tow with it yet. Will update at that point. Unit seems to be solid and well constructed. 585320
Review from a similar Curt A25 in Fifth Wheel
I got it put together and installed by myself in about 40 minuets. I haven’t hauled with it yet but it seems to be good quality. Looking forward to pulling my 36’ camper with it in a couple weeks. 472068
Review from a similar Curt A25 in Fifth Wheel
Pretty straight forward installation. Note the legs are front and back, the cam locks are different sizes front to back. Heavy as heck for and old guy but breaking it down into the 3 component pieces made it manageable . Nice job on the install video. 682516
Review from a similar Curt A25 in Fifth Wheel
I haven't used the hitch yet, but while installing it I noticed: 1) the 4 bolts which connect the hitch head to its legs, or base boxes, are a smaller diameter than the 8 bolts that hold the pin box onto my 40' 5th wheel trailer, and 2) when mounting the legs into the 5th wheel prep package on my 2019 F350, I found that a snug adjustment is not possible, because of one or both of these design choices: a) coarse thread bolts are used here (vs. fine thread), and/or b) there is only one hole through each of the 4 base mounting bolts for the cotter pin to go through, so the castle nuts can only be made tighter or looser by turning the nut 1/6th of a revolution. This means that when you lock the hitch down by rotating the handles 90 degrees, that the locked-in position either feels too loose or too tight because 1/6th of a revolution of the nut is too much. If these bolts had a 2nd hole in them (or were fine thread) that would allow a 1/12th of a nut rotation adjustment. Smaller nut height adjustment would also mean a much greater potential of being able to adjust the locking levers to a firm pressure setting. 638805

I have always had pretty good luck w Curt products! Product was was as described easy to install. Def heavy duty. Other posts were same, meaning boxes sustained heavy damage, but product inside was in great shape. Few scratches but no gonna change my review. Etrailer did price match so saved me some cash. Haven't pulled with it yet, just moved 40 ft camper around. May update later. 635841
Review from a similar Curt A25 in Fifth Wheel
Love the hitch it's rated for high strength but isn't overly big and bulky and doesn't take up a ton of room in the truck...it fits into the bed pucks easy and locks down nice and tight with no flex or loosness in the pucks or gaps to create possible vibrations or noise when towing... Thanks Derek for hooking me after being back ordered but getting it to me ahead of schedule after letting you no I had a prescheduled trip within 2 weeks and you had to me with a week...headed out next week looking forward to see how the new truck and hitch set up works... Thank you for all you help... 441469

Excellent transaction. I haven't used the hitch yet but it seems like it will do the job. Very easy install. 442840
Review from a similar Curt A25 in Fifth Wheel
This 5th wheel hitch is AWESOME!!! It was as easy as the video to assemble and install. I put it together in the living room watching to Olympics. It is easy to install in the factory RAM puck system. You should use a buddy, it is a little heavy. It took about 30 to 40 minutes to put together and another 15 minutes to install and torque all the bolts to specs. 479288
First tow with a heavy trailer went great. Easy to hook it up east to un-hook. No problems so far. Still 5 stars!
Review from a similar Curt A25 in Fifth Wheel
After talking on the phone about the Q25 or A25, I decided to get the A24. Its the new model for the Curt hitch and can’t be happier with it so far. Shipment was fast. Boxes were damaged but can’t really blam it since the two boxes are very heavy. Hitch only had a few scratches on it. Was very easy to put together. I have not towed with it yet since it is still winter here in Maryland. The hitch is build very good. Can already tell it will be way better than my old hitch. I won’t put that company’s name on this review. I highly recomemd ordering from etrailer. 475218
Review from a similar Curt A25 in Fifth Wheel
Looks great. Perfect fit. Easy assembly. The hitch is heavy. But that is to be expected for a 25 k hitch. 440398
A well made solid hitch. Easy to install and remove. I use it on a regular basis to pull a 42’ toy hauler with a 2016 crew cab F-350.
Review from a similar Curt A25 in Fifth Wheel
I am amazed at how easy it is to take in & out of my truck. And also to hook up my fifth wheel. 628820
Review from a similar Curt A25 in Fifth Wheel
Please note this review is for receiving and installing the A25 hitch. I will update this review when I have a few trips under my belt on how it performs. First, as others have mentioned, the box that housed the legs was in poor shape and was heavily taped to keep in intact. It even had a hole in one end but the legs were in excellent shape, except for a little scrape paint on the edge of one of the legs. Not a big deal and a little black paint will keep the rust away. The other carton contained the hitch head and support beam. I'm not exaggerating when I tell you it had 48 staples. 38 in the top and 5 more on the two long sides. When I removed the staples on the two long flaps each of the inside flaps had 6 staples each. Talk about over kill! A good pair of lineman's pliers is a must for removing 48 staples. Once I was able to open the hitch box, the contents were in excellent condition with no scrapes or blemishes to the painted parts. A word of warning: This hitch is heavy! I've read somewhere this hitch, fully assembled weighs around 170 pounds so beware. Putting it together is simple. Four bolts and two screws for the handle and it's done. The manual explains installation for legs used with rails. My setup was for the GM puck system. The only difference I could see you don't use the lock nuts and there are no guide pins on the support beam. The 14mm bolt heads will take a 13/16 socket/wrench and if you use the lock nuts they take a 22mm wrench/socket. I don't understand why a U. S. made product mixes Metric and English fittings. Summary: This is a heavy product, well built, with easy to understand instructions. Simple installation and adjustments. The only negative (for me anyway) is once you open the jaws, you can't close them with the handle. The only way I see is to push the jaws in as would happen when hitching. Since they are spring loaded they will snap close with authority when engaged. I'm going to use an one inch wooded dowel to close the jaws as I prefer them being closed when not in use. 502000

I’m rating the hitch as a great product. The instructions left something to be desired. Happy with the A25 and this particular one works with my Reese Sidewinder pinbox. 722766
Review from a similar Curt A25 in Fifth Wheel
Now that I have used my new hitch several time I feel I can give a honest review. This hitch is great. I really like the way the release handle works, no pulling on a handle, just slight pull then slide toward cab, very easy. This hitch is a little heavy but worth it. Very solid and well made. Easy to adjust the cams that fit into the "PUCK" system on my 2019 Chevy 3500. I got the Q25 to make sure I had a hitch that could easily handle my 40ft. Montana fifth wheel, overkill but gives me a piece of mind. I called in my order and worked with Tim, he was great. He verified that this hitch fit my truck. Order was processed and I received it in a couple of days. Thanks Etrailer 722279

To date, I have not yet used my hitch in the application I purchased it for, specifically, but what an amazing result to this point! The shipping was early, packaged well, and I am VERY pleased with what I've encountered to this point. thomas grimm 717275
Review from a similar Curt A25 in Fifth Wheel
My former 2005 Dodge 2500 diesel used a Curt hitch also. My new 2018 Dodge 3500 came with the factory installed hitch package. This new Curt hitch is mounted more securely then the former truck due to there is no more rails for hitch to mount to, and no movement between the rails and hitch. I would claim the new hitch has reduced the amount of chucking I used to have. GREAT hitch no problems recommending it! 717256
Review from a similar Curt A25 in Fifth Wheel
The hitch is exactly what I was wanting... even though it is heavy, it was easy to assemble and adjust to the truck bed pucks. I will be trying it out in the next week when I hook up to the 5th wheel. 717068
Review from a similar Curt A25 in Fifth Wheel
I backed up truck to ups and he put in bed of truck. I installed in about 15 minutes. Good instructions but not needed for it is very simple to assemble, just 4 bolts attach the legs to the main hitch assembly. 2 more screws attach the handle then drop into the pucks of my Sierra 1 ton Curt base plate That I ordered from GMC factory which they installed when I ordered my new truck. This hitch will be used for our new 2019 Keystone Montana 3791RD that is 40 feet long, this hitch will allow a comfortable towing experience. Thank you for the simplicity, 715946

We use this hitch to pull a 16k camper, or our 20k car hauler. I really like the symbols on the front of the hitch - so I can tell if I'm locked, before I get out of the truck. I have not had any issues with this hitch, it's been great! Had it around 1 year now. 612300
Review from a similar Curt A25 in Fifth Wheel
The hitch was pretty easy to set up and use. Hooks up easy. The only thing I do not like about it is the stickers seem to fall off all the time. Manufacturer needs to paint the different colors on instead of using stickers. 609965
Review from a similar Curt A25 in Fifth Wheel
received product and it was scratched up from shipping but we will work with it. this is the first hitch we have purchased in many years and was glad to get it and not have to redo the inside of the truck bed. fits in to the slots and is ready to pull our newest camper on many adventures. Can't wait for it to warm up and get started. 604957
Review from a similar Curt A25 in Fifth Wheel
This is a very good hitch. I have had it for one year now and it is very easy to unhook when you are not level or on uneven ground. My old hitch I would have to fight to unhook when the trailer and truck were not on level ground. This one is Great ! Hookup is also quick and easy. I leave it in all the time but with the puck system was simple to install. 596576

Very impressed. Ordered online. Was Leary after bad experiences with other suppliers. Next morning received a tracking number and delivery date. I was out of town and when I returned home on the afternoon of delivery there set my packages in great shape. Easy to assemble and install. I'm totally satisfied and would definitely use them again. 545245

Product arrived as promised. No more than 30-40 minutes to install. A big issue could be the packaging. UPS tossed the boxes around and the packing material (styrofoam) was pretty well pulverized! Not a scratch on the hitch though! 512570
Review from a similar Curt A25 in Fifth Wheel
This is everything I need and more for hauling my 3 car trailer. It is well made and it comes with good instructions. It takes about 45 minutes to assemble from the time you open the box. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because there is not a way to lock it in a ram with the pre prep package to prevent theft. 500803
