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. Legs mount to Ford OEM underbed platform.
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.

This 5th-wheel hitch has worked flawlessly! When towing my 40' Keystone Montana RV, it's virtually like it's on rails at any speed. Recently, I made the mistake of turning too sharply trying to exit the parking area where it had been stored, and hit a supporting pole of a chain link fence 4" before clearing it. That tore off the rear cap of my RV, but the hitch didn't budge or bend one iota! That thing is as solid as a rock and utterly dependable! I don't believe I will ever have to have it repaired much less buy a new one. Thank you for a truly OUTSTANDING product! 699074
I received my 5 th wheel hitch today and put it in so I am a happy camper I looked all over on line and found e trailers they where one of the cheapest in price and had the direct factory hook up style there was a bit of a problem getting me the 5th wheel on time (out of stock ) but George informed me same days as order that he had ordered it direct from the factory but hurricane Irma slowed shipping once I received my truck from dealer I noticed it had the inside 7 pin connector so I asked could he remove this from my order and he did also spoke with a women and she said my shipment would arrive today and it did ! good parts (I only use reese and curt ) and better customer service I advise highly you use this company they still have good work ethic ! (rare today ) I give them a 6 stars out of 5 ! !! I will use them again thank you much donald a soon to be professional hauler ! 438826
This is one of the finest hitches I have ever had. I love the ease of operation, the strength it has, and its light weight enough that I can remove it by myself if I want to take my hitch completely out of the bed of my truck. It is a breeze to connect and disconnect by myself, which is a major plus for this solo traveler. The other bonus is the small profile in the bed of the truck, and I still have room to load all my art gear for a show. I would highly recommend it to everyone! 584507
Extremely happy with the new hitch, very easy to assemble (4 bolts, local dealer wanted $300 to assemble), even easier to attach to my factory hitch mounts (Ford). Get someone to help you lift it into your truck. 480689
This is simply the best 5th wheel hitch I have ever used!

Curt Q20 5th wheel hitch C16530-16017. Our sales contact, Adam, was very helpful in determining the correct hitch for our 2017 F-350. Order got here complete and in good time. Can't ask for more. 431200

Great service and product ! Easy and fast delivery 418277
Emailed for an update on my order cause i didnt see that it was shipped never got a response.. but on a good note received it in 6 days from the order date.. legs have a few spots where thet rubbed paint off but no big deal... bols and washers in the head unit was out of the package all over the inside of the box... instructions state its packaged in a reusable package but there is no way to reuse it after you open it with the ton of staples in it... very easy to assemble looks great havent use it yet but looks very well built 410158
Great fit perfectly got here on time very happy with the whole service if I need a new one this is where I will buy it 408975
The product is just what was expected and works great, good instructions included with it. Delivery of the hitch was earlier than expected! - 395402
Best fifth wheel hitch I have ever purchased. I wish I could of had this type of hitch for my 2003 F-350. I use to have a Reese hitch that broke and left my fifth wheel laying on my bed rails it sure cost me a small fortune to get that fixed, I have hauled my new fifth wheel over 15,000 miles with out a problem what so ever. And some times I still have to look in the rear view mirror to make sure my trailer is still there. I recommend this product to anyone that pulls as much as I do, "Great Product". Sorry don't have any pictures............... 380920
Best damn hitch I have ever bought, shipping was four days, I have hauled various trailers for other friends and with my backup camera it’s a first time every time to dam simple.
Randall B - 05/21/2018received in 3 days, went together with no issues, works great 367911
returned a slider hitch that a friend gave me it was to loud in rear of truck,purchased the Q20 to get little heavier duty hitch and to use the new style mount plate in the new F350. packaging was great everything there and fast free delivery is a plus, hitch assembly very easy ,real quite. I would suggest a note in the box telling you that this hitch has a couple mount options so as not to be confused by the bolt hole pattern.called info number and they explained it, very informative and professional ,top notch from start of order to finnish thanks 312998
This is the 2nd q20 I have purchased I have one installed on an older truck. This one I got for the ford oem 5th wheel system with a little adjustment for the locks for the legs the hitch went together easily . I would recommend the curt and etrailer shipping was quick. thanks 288120
Good but not as good as a Reese , wish I would have spent more and got the Reese . 285755
Received my Kurt Q20 fifth wheel hitch right on time! Everything was included as described on the web site. Very happy with the product and etrailer.com! 282768
The Curt Q20 5th wheel trailer hitch went together easily. Be sure to read all the instructions prior to installing the hitch in your truck. I was somewhat disappointed in that the base pieces had places where the powder coat had rubbed off. The two pieces were packaged without being protected from each other. Would have been 5 stars except for the shipping damage. I'm excited to hook up to and pull. 274015
Works great!
John W - 07/20/2017Some issues installing the unit, my first 5th wheel hitch, but info from your website really helped ( videos etc.) Worked perfectly pulling my 39ft 5th Wheel. Highly recommended. 239852
good looking hitch, pretty easy to assemble. Shipping box was pretty beat up but all contents were there and in good shape. The cam locks needed to be adjusted for my pickup (2015 F350 w factory 4 puck mount) 229928
WOW, that was fast shipping 3 days. Hitch was a perfect fit into my 2014 Ford F350 DRW with the Ford factory prep package. 228601
Hitch was shipped promy and arrive before they said it would be herer. Ver happy with service and support. 227431
Great product! 30 mins to put together and dropped rite into puck holes in bed and locked into place with no problems! Received two days from ordering it! Gave part number for the Q24 but received Q20 , but the Q20 met my minimum rating required! 215538

Review from a similar Curt Q20 in Fifth Wheel
Just want to give some kudos to the folks at etrailer. Descriptions and videos are on the money. Awesome shipping along with tracking , received my curt Q20 on time and installed per manufacturers instructions. The one issue I had with installation was torquing the 4 bolts. The 2 in front went easy, but the ones in back the torq wrench did not fit so had to take the hitch head off and pull hitch out of truck and turn over to torq the bolts. Little pain but not to bad. Etrailer keep up the good work. Scott 302418
Review from a similar Curt Q20 in Fifth Wheel
After watching a YouTube video, assembly wasn't a problem. Hitch seems ok, haven't used it enough yet. The one problem I Have at this time is the Curt decal on the hitch head was installed crooked . It looks like a kid put it on. If I can't get another one I'll tear that one off and repaint if needed 634939
Review from a similar Curt Q20 in Fifth Wheel
Just installed today, all parts are very heavy. I will need a crane to take it out. Had to go to hardware store because of some wrong parts in sealed bags. Handle was bent my guess was during shipping. Maybe a little to early for a complete review. Looking forward to hooking up the trailer and testing hitch. 670303
Review from a similar Curt Q20 in Fifth Wheel
This 5th wheel hitch fits OEM hitch mount provisions perfectly on my 2017 Ram 3500. Connecting and disconnecting works well. This hitch is heavy for one person to manage, but a hoist set-up makes for easy installation and removal. Tows well with no play between trailer pin and truck. Great product. 625666

Review from a similar Curt Q20 in Fifth Wheel
Thank-you etrailer for the fast free shipping! Ordered on Sunday evening and received hitch, mounting kit, and wiring package on Friday!!!! 5 boxes in delivery and all were received at the same time, great job. already tow 5th wheel with this hitch and it is great. Better than my old reese. Hook-up is easy and positve. Will say it does take all evening to install and measurements are extremly important to a good installation. Measured and checked square several times prior to any drilling and the mounting brackets are perfect. Thanks again for the fast, complete, and quality shipment. The only comment regarding shipment is that the hitch box had some damage when received and 5th wheel had a couple of same scratches, no big deal!!! The shipping box is not very durable based on product weight! 192850
Have pulled my 38 foot toy hauler on 9 different trips now with absolutely no problems. Great fifth wheel. previously had a Reese and this on is a just as good if not better.
Mark S - 06/19/2016Review from a similar Curt Q20 in Fifth Wheel
Received product from ETrailer in a very timely manner. All went well with no hitch, play on words, that is what I purchased. Sandy was helpful beyond belief and answered all my questions. Some speak of the damaged boxes when these Curt Hitches arrive. Mine too were damaged but the product was unscathed. Shipping the 100 lbs products I didn't expect the boxes to last. ETrailer did a great job stuffing the shipping boxes all was well. I would recommend ETrailer just on how professional the employees are. I will being purchasing other items again. Thanks again Sandy! 328914

I bought the 5th wheel to haul trailers and, it's been a great hitch and has been maintained but it's starting to breakdown, parts are failing , but if used for a personal trailer, it will be a great hitch 264239
Review from a similar Curt Q20 in Fifth Wheel
Shipping was little quirky the factory shipped it via freight and i had to go pick it up from the freight company about 30 minutes away. Once i got it home it was packaged well, installed was very strait forward, it is heavy though so make sure you have two people to lift it into the truck. Have yet to pull a trailer with it so we will see how that goes. Overall assembly height is when installed onto the ram oem rail system adapter is fairly high roughly 57" in the back of 2016 ram 2500. seems like a great product, time will tell. 339057

Review from a similar Curt Q20 in Fifth Wheel
The slide portion of this hitch works very well with very little effort from truck. I have hooked and unhooked several times at our permanent campground lot and have not had any problem with the jaws locking or releasing . We have not taken the 5th wheel camper down the road for any distance, so I cannot comment on hitch rattle or ride. The only issue I have had and it is negligible. It was hard for me to insert and remove the rail pins to remove the hitch from the truck because the rear pins are under the hitch frame.( and yes I mounted the rails perfectly square). If you're not going to remove the hitch often than its a non issue. The rubber dampeners just make the pins tight. I would recommend this hitch for sure just can't give it an excellent if we haven't taken it down the road for a distance. 383206
We have taken our Fifth wheel to Arizona and back and the hitch performed perfectly. I make sure to keep the hitch lubricated properly. It is definitely quieter and less jerky. I would give the hitch a 5 star as I have not had a problem with this hitch.
Scott M - 05/22/2018Review from a similar Curt Q20 in Fifth Wheel
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
Review from a similar Curt Q20 in Fifth Wheel
The Curt Q20 with R20 slider hitch arrived just as promised in 3 days after placing the order. The Q20 head box was totally destroyed. The manufacture packaging was not made to ship individually using small package carrier such as UPS. Upon inspection I discovered that the bolts and washers were missing. I contacted Bill at E-trailer and told him. He explained that the replacements would have to come from the manufacturer and would take several days. I told him that I already scheduled an install and really needed those bolts and washers. He was able to round some up for me and shipped them out next day and they arrived on Monday just as promised. I also spoke with Bill about not being able to remove the head unit for the hitch. It needed to be removed to be able to install it on the slider. It seemed to be stuck and I could not budge it. I assumed that it may have been damaged in shipping, especially after receiving it in a demolished box. He explained to me that since it was new its tolerances were tight and I might try taking a pry bar to it. Well that did not make me feel real good. He was totally correct. Just a little more effort with a pry bar moved it just enough for the bushing to squeak loose and the head came right out. I am disappointed in the jaws on this unit. They look like they were forged by a 3rd grader. Not smooth and somewhat pitted. They are not machined jaws for sure. Had it all installed using the new Reese rail brackets for the 2017 F250. Everything went smooth. An added plus is the quiet ride when not connect to trailer. Can’t even notice the hitch is back there. My other hitch rattled and clanked all the time and was so annoying. I just hooked my 38ft 5th wheel for the first time. It was smoother and easier than any other hitch I have ever used. I bought the sider unit which is recommended by all for the short bed. However I cannot use the slider as the king pin box slides too close to the tall tail gate. The new 2017 F250 is taller and the bed is deeper so I needed a hitch that would go up to 19 ½ inches. I will update after a my first run with trailer later this month. Everyone at E-trailer was outstanding. 5 Star. I will keep using them in the future. 303415
