Heavy-duty 5th-wheel hitch has interlocking jaws, a torsion head, and a color-coded lock indicator for security. Non-binding slider ensures proper clearance during slow turns. Includes adapter rails for Chevy/GMC 5th-wheel towing prep package.
Features:
Specs:
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).
Most often used on trucks with 6' and 6-1/2' beds, this roller helps to eliminate clearance problems during slow-speed turns. When you are towing a fifth-wheel trailer, your hitch must be situated on the cab side of your truck's rear axle. However, at slow speeds you can use a roller to slide the fifth-wheel hitch (and the trailer) toward your truck's tailgate and past the rear axle, creating enough space between the cab of your truck and the trailer to permit less-restricted turning.
Non-Binding Design
The round-tube design of this slider allows for relatively uninhibited movement of your fifth-wheel hitch. Because your hitch can glide smoothly and easily along the rods, there is less chance of binding.
With straight, flat contact points, as found with square-tube sliders, tension can build between the slider and the hitch when your truck and trailer are somewhat out of line or are on uneven ground. As a result, it can be difficult to properly activate the slider when your truck and trailer are not in a straight line.
With a round-tube slider, there is more give between the contacting surfaces, allowing better mobility of the hitch system. Fewer corners means less tension buildup. Activating a round-tube slider is easier, and operation as a whole is smoother.

Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at the Curt A20 Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch, with the R20 Slider for the Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package, and it has a 20,000 pound weight capacity.Now, this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 2016 and newer Chevrolet Silverado, and GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 trucks with the 6-1/2' bed and the factory rail kit. And on a custom fit part, I'd always like to recommend for you to go to our website, use our fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle, and it'll show you if this will work for your application.Now, this fifth wheel hitch will mount in your truck bed, so that you can tow your fifth wheel tailor. It's mounted on this non-binding slider to provide clearance that's required for your short-bed pickup to turn safely at slow speeds. It'll give you a slider travel of 12 inches front to back. That extra clearance will prevent your trailer from hitting the cab of your pickup during sharp, slow-speed turns.
And it slides smoothly on the rounded non-binding rods.This is designed for use on trucks with beds shorter than eight foot, and it's not recommended for use on truck beds shorter than six foot.The head on this uses a nice two-jaw locking system here. Provides a 360-degree jaw-to-king-pin contact, because of that it'll give you less rattle, more security than the slide-bar models.Does have two lube points, with easy to access grease zerk fittings, one on each jaw. Right here, very easy to get to. You put your grease gun right on there and lubricate the jaws.Also, has a fast one-pin head removal, makes it easy for one person to remove the hitch from your truck. Right here, if you just pull this pin, slide this large pin out, you can take that out of the cross member and then take it apart.
So one person could remove it.Now, when you do bolt your cross member to your slider here, it does give you a four-inch hitch height adjustment. So range of anywhere from 18-3/4" to 22-3/4". And hitch height is always measured from your truck bed to the top of the hitch head.And hitch height adjustment is critical, because when you tow your fifth wheel, you do want to make sure it's as level as possible with your tow vehicle. So when you do mount this on it'll give you that four-inch hitch height adjustment.Also, a nice feature on this is the three-point indicator system. It's a color-coding on the handle ...
Oh, actually right here underneath the hitch head. And it's color-coded. It'll tell you if the hitch is ready to uncouple, it'll show red. If it shows yellow, that means you're ready to couple. And if it shows green, like it does now, it means the jaws are closed, you're ready to tow.And what's nice about this, if your cab's right here, you can turn around and look and see the color.
So just by it's visible from your cab, you can turn around and see what position your jaws are in.It does have a nice lockable handle, lets you easily secure the trailer to the hitch. Basically it comes with a pinning clip, but if you wanted extra security, the hole is large enough you could put a padlock through there. We do sell those separately. It is a very short-throw single-handle operation. I'm going to show you that here in a minute.Does come with this included plastic lube plate. The lube plate is nice. That'll go onto your king pin on your fifth wheel. And when you go to hook up, it helps it glide smoothly into the hitch during hook-up.Now to install this into your vehicle, it is a very fast, easy installation. Basically you just drop this into the floor receiver pucks that are built into your factory underbed rails. Right here you just go to each corner, pop the pinning clip, rotate your handle here out 90 degrees, and that'll rotate the tab. You do that on each corner, and once they're all open, all you have to do is drop it right into the pucks. The four pucks that are built into your factory rails. Once they drop in, turn that handle that'll rotate the tab to lock them into the pucks. And then put your pinning clip in to hold your handle into place. Very simple to install and simple to remove.This is built with sturdy steel construction. Has a nice durable carbide powder coat finish to it. Again, the three specs on this, the application we mentioned is 2016 and newer, Chevy/GMC trucks at the Factory Installed Towing Prep Package. Gross towing weight capacity is 20,000 pounds. Vertical load limit, or pin weight capacity is 5,000 pounds. And we measured the slider travel is 12 inches front to back.So, what I'm going to do now is we're going to demonstrate the jaws, and I'm going to demonstrate the slider, how it operates. So for the jaws, here's an example of a king pin, what the king pin would look like on your fifth wheel.So, what you want to do first is pop your pinning clip on your handle. And you can see it's tethered here with the lanyard so you can't lose it. And then you just take your short-throw handle, pull it out, rotate it back, and your jaws you can see pop open. You're ready to hook up.And we mentioned the color-coding. Now if you look at it, it's showing a yellow triangle, which yellow means you're ready to couple. If it showed red, it means it's uncoupled, you're not ready to couple yet.So basically what'll happen is you go to couple, your king pin will slide in between two jaws. Once it gets in far enough you notice the jaws completely close around there. The handle slides up, the holes line up.Let's look at the color-coding. It's showing a round green circle. So you're already ready to tow. Take your pinning clip, drop it through, clip it. Your handle's locked into place. You're all ready to go.And again, just to remove it, pop your pinning clip. You want to hold onto this so it doesn't pop it off, but you just pull your handle, rotate it back, and it shoots the king pin right out.Now, if you get into your camp ground and need to make some tight turns, you want to gain that extra 12 inches of clearance on the slider, the way you would do that, just go over here to your slider, got your slider handle. Right now it's locked in the towing position. It'll say right here, towing position, so that's closest to the cab.So, when you get to your campground, you want to slide that extra 12 inches to the maneuvering position. Just take your handle and pull it out and then turn it away from the maneuvering position. So turn it towards the cab. And when you do that it'll automatically slide to the maneuvering position. And you can see once it gets there, the handle automatically rotates and locks it into place. Now you can do all your maneuvering.Then when you're done camping, you're ready to get back out on the road to tow, just pull this and do the same thing. Turn it away from the position you're going to, or away from the cab. And then it'll slide right into the towing position. Again, lock right into place. Good, simple movement.But that should do it for the review on the Curt A20 Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch with the R20 Slider, for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Packages. And has a 20,000 pound weight capacity.

Review from a similar Curt A20 in Fifth Wheel
I purchased this hitch because I have used a Curt Q16, with my fifth wheel and it has performed well. I have a new truck with long bed, and I no longer need the slider. My truck has the factory 5th wheel prep package. I decided to order the new Curt A20, rather than just adding the legs to the Q16. The Q20 was shipped and delivered as scheduled. It was packaged well, and the hitch looks perfect. The installation instructions were easy to follow, and the entire process went in without any problems. Katrina answered my questions, on the phone, about options, and helped me with the order process. eTrailer.com has the products I need, with great prices and quick shipping. When I need towing accessories, this is the place I'll shop. 464648
I am very happy with the Curt. I have towed my fifth wheel approximately 4,000 miles with the Curt with no problems. I appreciate your email.
Van - 01/03/2019Review from a similar Curt A20 in Fifth Wheel
I had a reese slide bar hitch that was worn out. I decided to do with the A20 over the B&W mainly because of the cost. After enough research I found out my old rails wouldn't work because they didn't have the extra slots for the wider base. Etrailer had the complete universal kit that worked great. Was easy to unbolt old rails and replace with the new ones. I was able to reuse my original brackets mounted to frame which I liked better than the universal ones. Took maybe an hour to put everything together. I like the smoothness of the latch opening and closing the jaws Hitch looks well built and I guess the 140lb it weighs says so. Etrailer shipped quickly. 481260
Love the hitch. I see other people fight their hitch and just happy I bought this one. Wouldnt recommend any other to anyone.

Review from a similar Curt A20 in Fifth Wheel
Very solid hitch. I like the color coded indicator system, but I seldom look at it because the double jaw opens cleanly when unhitching and latches securely when hitching. I have yet to use the slider. I did have to call Curt for assistance with misalignment of the hitch head and roller base. They had the needed spacer to me in four days. Great purchase to delivery times by etrailer and Curt. 474918
Review from a similar Curt A20 in Fifth Wheel
Mixed reviews. I think I picked out a great hitch (Curt A29, part # C16140. Haven't installed it yet. Turns out the mounting system for my 2006 Chevrolet 2500HD 8' long bed isn't the right one (holes don't match up to the frame, only the one in the back for the lower bolt hole). Part number 16418. Emailed information to sales & this was the part recommended for my truck... Still can't install the part... Will have to drill holes both front holes (large & small...)... Doesn't math the video of the 2005 Chevrolet 2500 HD... Appreciate the videos, better than the written instructions included. Once done, hope to give it a 5 star. Will see what is recommended... 454980

We've been using the Curt A20 5th wheel hitch for about a year now. It is a dream! it hitches easy and smooth. When pulling, it is smooth and does its job well, keeping us both safe and comfortable. 463488
Review from a similar Curt A20 in Fifth Wheel
Received this hitch about 1 week after ordering. Item arrived in packaging which maybe had more staples in it than required but everything was intact. Assembly took about 15-20 minutes and hitch just dropped right into Ford factory prep package. Hooking and unhooking trailer is a breeze and everything slides very smoothly. Pulling trailer is smooth due to dual rubber pivots and eliminates most hitch chatter. All in all, would definitly recommend and purchase again. 441092
Review from a similar Curt A20 in Fifth Wheel
The hitch works great. After 15000 miles of towing, the only issue is the height adjustment. We do a lot of national forest/bml camping. Sometimes the roads are a little rough to say the least. The lowest adjustment point allows the 5th wheel to ride fairly level. But at times in very sharp turns or on some of the rougher trails, the trailer has hit the bedrails. If we move the hitch to the next adjustment, it rides nose high. On the highway, it causes a rougher ride. If we move it to the lowest, it rides very smooth. Although it is only 4 bolts and only about 30 minutes to switch the adjustment, it is somewhat annoying. In the end the hitch is great with easy maintenance. 548927
Review from a similar Curt A20 in Fifth Wheel
The assistance I received with identifying the right hitch and then getting it ordered and shipped was fantastic. The hitch arrived in perfect condition sooner than originally expected (Thank you Nicole). Assembly was easy although I did get a little assistance from my 7 year old son G. Within 30 minutes assembly was complete. Connecting to trailer was seamless and I would highly recommend this hitch. Again thank you to Nicole for all the fantastic help. 397831
Still functioning flawlessly 1 yr later and I have had a lot of hook-ups........

Brett M - 07/03/2018Review from a similar Curt A20 in Fifth Wheel
I recently purchased a fifth wheel hitch for my new truck but wasn't sure I ordered the correct one after hitting the "enter" key! I called etrailer the following morning and found out I had, in fact, ordered the wrong hitch. The young man I spoke with was incredibly helpful - he canceled my initial order, explained what I really needed and why and then placed the order. I went on line the next day and found that the order had somehow been cancelled. I then spoke with LEAH G. She is the bomb. She corrected everything and did her best to expedite shipping including personally making certain that MY shipment was on the last truck of the day. What more can I say. Etrailer.com and Leah G are unbelievably awesome from beginning to end! Thank you for a great experience Conrad 371744
Everything is still working great!
Conrad C - 04/19/2018Review from a similar Curt A20 in Fifth Wheel
Very heavy duty hitch. Initially had some concerns so ordered the 20,000 lbs. instead of the 16000. Very good service from the etrailer representatives. Had some concerns on how long the delivery was going to take, however they were able to get it to me in a very short time. Thank you to the individuals who helped with my order. Danny 340534

Review from a similar Curt A20 in Fifth Wheel
This hitch was extremely easy to install! Although the locking handle maneuvered slightly different than the Curt videos I saw online, the intuitive design made it a breeze to set up. As a first time 5th-wheeler, this product has exceeded my expectations so far. I have not towed yet with this unit, but I feel confident that this product will be able to tow my 16k lb 5th wheel. 452620
Review from a similar Curt A20 in Fifth Wheel
This product review is for a Curt A20 fifth wheel hitch for a 2017 Nissan Titan XD with the puck system. The hitch was ordered in late March and received May 10, the status of my order was followed up by Helen M. at etrailer, she was very informative and responsive to my inquiries. The hitch arrived by UPS in two packages. The packaging was in great shape and very substantial. All parts were secure in the package. Be advised this hitch is very heavy so help with installation may be necessary. The hitch base frame is cast iron and very sturdy. The base fit perfectly in the factory puck system. Grease was applied to the pucks and receivers to reduce future corrosion. Unpacking will take about 30 minutes and the installation is very easy and with help will require about one hour. The hitch is installed but at present has not been used and tested under a load, so be advised there will be a follow up to this review in the future. Thanks etrailer for a great shopping experience. 510021

The R20 Roller and the A20 Slider were both pretty easy to install. Except for the weight (Those Things Are HEAVY) It was a straight forward install. What I like is the Quality of the Curt Products. They are a very high Quality product in my opinion. I plan on the wife and I and our Two Main Coons are planning a cross country trip. So I am very excited to get out on the open Road and see where life takes us. What WAS a bear to install was the Rail Kit. It required lots of trips out from under 402224

hitch was good . box was all beat to hell. some paint missing where dropped or slid on ground. hitch went together as expected and looks like it will be right. I will find out when I go to pull the RV. 553929
Review from a similar Curt A20 in Fifth Wheel
The hitch is great . The only problem was shipping. When the order arrived the outer box was extremely beat-up. Upon opening, the inner box was so damaged it was not reconizable...the styrofoam was in pieces and the hitch paint was scratched-up. It was treated VERY badly in shipment...I took pictures and was going to forward to you but my phone crashed and that's when I learned my cloud back-up did not include my photos. I needed the hitch immediately for a trip, so I just installed it and chalked-it up as bad luck. With all that said, I owned Reese before but the Curt just seems more substantial 544700
