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.

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: Terry06/17/2022

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: James09/11/2021

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: Todd01/27/2024

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: Gary 11/08/2023

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: Mark J09/28/2023

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.



by: Samuel09/16/2021

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

Great customer service, thanks for the help…



by: John08/26/2019

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.

Poorly designed kit.
I've installed several
rail kits over the years in other trucks and this is the worst one I've had to deal with. I watched their inline video and tried to follow their instructions. It is supposed to take between 1 and 2 hr. to install, try 5 with 2 people. The worst thing is the way it is attached to the the frame rails. They use U bolts around the frame and a 1/2" bolt in a current 1" oval hole. The only thing bearing the load of the hitch shifting from front to back is the holes drilled in the thin sheet metal of the box. Spot welding it to the frame or drilling an other hole is the only way I see to guaranty it doesn't shift. I should have bought the competitors universal kit.



by: Nolan11/03/2021

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.

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: Jerry09/13/2021

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.



by: George 01/16/2020

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: Donald09/03/2022

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: RBS06/09/2022

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: Aaron 08/17/2022

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



by: Everett04/12/2018

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: Clifton08/18/2019

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: Dennis K.06/07/2020

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: John Lyp01/23/2020

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



by: William 09/23/2020

Solid and well built. Installation instructions could have been a little better. I would purchase this again.

  • Converting Gooseneck To Fifth Wheel In 2004 Dodge Ram 3500
  • The highest capacity fifth wheel hitches are made is 25K so you would need the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs # C16180. You can use your Reese rails as long as they are Industry Standard Rails (ISR). I will attach a photo to show you what the ISR looks like. If they are the same you can use the Curt Custom, No-Drill Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit for Dodge Ram # C16420 to mount them to your 2004 Dodge Ram 3500. The capacity on the rails is not an issue. If they

  • Comparing Curt A-25 and Q-25 5th Wheel Hitches
  • There are a few differences between the Curt A25 part # C16180 and Curt Q25 part # C16265. The most notable is the jaw design. The A-Series has a dual interlocking jaw system which forms a much tighter grip on the kin pin therefore provides a smoother ride. The Q-Series has dual locking jaws but they don't interlock. The A-Series also has a one pin head removal system which helps when frequently installing or removing the hitch. The dampening mechanism built-into the head is different as

  • Will the Curt A25 Hitch Fit in Industry Standard Base Rails
  • As long as your Pullrite rail kit provides you with industry standard base rails to mount a 5th wheel hitch, the Curt A25 # C16180 will fit, since it's designed to fit in industry standard base rails. I've attached a photo of the dimensions for industry standard rails that you can compare yours to.

  • Recommendation Between Curt A25 and Q25 for 5th Wheel Towing with a 2020 GMC Sierra 3500
  • Congrats on the new vehicle purchase! The main differences between the A25 # C16180 and Q25 # C16265 are that the A25 has a fully articulating torsion head and a 2-jaw system that overlaps while the Q25 had a spherical axial bearing for 360 degree head movement and an older 2-jaw system where there is a little space between the jaws. I recommend going with the A25 as it is the upgraded Q25 and the overlapping jaws provide a much more secure connection to the king pin. Since you don't

  • Best Way to Adapt A25 to Ford F-250 Prep Package
  • It is possible to still use the Curt A25 part # C16180 in a 2016 F-250 8 foot bed with a Ford prep package. 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. You can switch the legs of the A25 to fit into the factory holes in your bed with part # C16017. The new legs fit

  • Is It Ok To Replace A Curt A25 5th Wheel Hitch With A Curt Q25 5th Wheel Hitch
  • The only difference between the Curt A25 # C16180 and Curt Q25 # C16265 is the head. The Curt A25 features a stronger head unit with better materials that's going to hold up better over time. The jaws have also been upgraded to provide a more secure connection with the trailer and allow for a smoother ride. The head on the A25 can also be easily removed from the base by pulling just 1 pin, making it a simple 1 person job. The Curt Q25 requires you to remove a couple pins and the head itself

  • Lowest Profile 5th Wheel Hitch for 2017 Ford F-250 without OEM Prep Package
  • The lowest profile fifth wheel hitch option we offer for a 2017 Ford F-250 without OEM Prep Package is the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16180 (long bed) or Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # 16516 (short bed) which measures 13" and 15" respectively from the base to the top of the skid plate at the lowest setting.

  • Yes, the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16180 will fit on your 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 but it typically not recommended unless you have a pivoting pin box like the Reese Sidewinder # RP34FR since you have a short bed. First you will need Rail Kit # C16429-204 if your truck did not come with the factory in bed hitch prep or you will need the Adapter # C88KR if your truck does have the in bed mounting system.

  • Weight of Curt C16180 A25 5th Wheel Hitch for 2022 Ford F350 With OEM Puck System
  • The Curt A25 5th wheel hitch you'd looked at, part # C16180 weighs about 120 lbs, and the necessary # C88KR base rail to puck adapter weighs right at 70 lbs. The hitch is a bit heavy, but its weight can be significantly reduced by removing the hitch from the head, which is done by pulling one clevis pin. This breaks the hitch down into two pieces that are more easily handled. If you'd like to install a 7-way in your truck bed so you don't have to run the trailer connector up over

  • 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.

Both will provide a 25,000 pound towing weight capacity, an interlocking 2-Jaw system for a secure connection, and a 4 inch height adjustment. The primary difference between the two models is that the A25 # C16180 is essentially an upgraded version of the Q25.

  • Difference Between Curt A25 and Q25 5th Wheel Hitches
  • The difference between the Curt A25 part # C16180 and the Curt Q25 part # C16265 is the jaw system. I have attached a photo for your reference. The A25 is an upgraded version of the Q25 because of it's interlocking jaw. The A25 interlocking jaw results in full contact with the king pin on the fifth wheel which reduces the rattle and chucking you may experience with a looser king pin connection. Although both options are great fifth wheel hitches with 25,000 lbs of towing capacity, the A25
