Three-Point Indicator System
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 rebranded this fifth-wheel trailer hitch by changing its name from Q16 to A16 in 2016. All features and specifications remained the same.

2012 ram 3500 mega cab short bed! Well from all the reviews I’ve read, and the video, I gathered about 5-6 hours to install by myself, which was very accurate, directions say 90 min instal, not! It was the 5-6 hour range, regardless it went in as the directions and video said! Take your time measure it out double check everything, the kit is great, follow directions and watch the video you can do it in your driveway!

Takes a bit longer than expected. Figure in a day for the above bed install kit. I'll post back after I make a 2000 mile trip with the 40' RV. Have a great day everyone!

I purchased both the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 16,000 lbs - C16120, and Reese Pull Pin Lock Plates for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - Qty 4 - RP58093 for my F350 SD 4X4 Crew Cab Long Bed. I'm pulling a 30' Retro 5th. Wheel and at times I pull my tandem axle UTV Trailer (Double Trailers) . I already had the rails installed in my truck, this fit right in and I used the new Pins and Lock Plates for securing to truck. I have pulled all over from South Dakota and the Northwest. The Hitch has performed Flawlessly. No bucking, nor clunking. Very quiet and smooth ride. I would recommend this set up to anyone for convenience of Hook up and Disconnect, Excellent towing, quiet, and the security of the lock pins. I use Disc locks to prevent access for bolt cutters.

I was fully expecting a hitch in excess of 100 pounds to show up in a destroyed box. This did not. They had taken the Time and effort to cover the box with an additional layer of cardboard and it must have had a million staples in it. It was almost comical, you will need a crowbar or large screwdriver to get it open. However, when I did finally get the package open I found a perfectly un scratched hitch with no missing parts. I have not pulled with the hitch yet but , it does look like it is going to perform great. I'm using this in a 2006 ram 2500 4x4 short bed pulling a 2015 forest river Salem and it allows 91 degrees of turning due to the clipped corners on the front cap of the trailer. I will be curious to see how long the rubber isolators last before needing replaced and if they are readily available. Also the curt sticker on the hitch was peeling off when I took it out of the box, would be nice to get that replaced.

I had to customize some of the brackets to make them work on my truck. As well as add some spacers under the front rail so when it was tightened it would remain flat. The kit is usable if you have the ability to make it work. But when I buy something like this I expect it to go on without messing with it.

THE RAILS AND BRACKETS WERE JUST AS DESCRIBED AND CAME VERY QUICKLY AND REASONABLY PRICED. THE INSTRUCTIONS WERE VERY HELPFUL INCLUDING THE VIDEO ONLINE. INALL IT TOOK ME ABOUT 5 HOURS TO INSTALL WITH TAKING MY TIME TO DOUBLE CHECK EVERYTHING. IT FIT JUST AS IT SAYS AND FIT MY PICKUP PERFECTLY. GREAT PRODUCT AND GREAT COMPANY

Purchased this hitch, install kit, and wiring harness for a new to me 2015 F-250. After watching the installation video and reviewing the included instructions the install went smoothly. The only deviation from the instructions was instead of using a unibit to drill the 9/16" holes in the bed I used a Rotobroach hole cutter(the holes are cleaner and the bit does not drift. I hooked in to my fifth wheel for the first time on Saturday.

Installation of the Curt C16443-204 custom rail kit was a snap on my 2000 F350 dually. The instructions were pretty generic but not to hard to figure out. Once in place it was easy to line line everything up to fit the hitch in and tighten everything down.
by: Mark05/24/2024
Adam E provided invaluable assistance with part numbers, availability and compatibility. The order shipped the same day and I have now received it earlier than I had expected. Thanks
I send a product review and picture once I have completed installation.

This is a well put together package. The fact that you do not have to drill the frame makes things much easier. That said, it is still a lot of work and if you do not have all the tools needed and a lift you will be at this install for quiet some time.
The spare tire has to be removed and if there is a spare tire shield it will have to go as well. The inner fenders need to come out and at that point you will find it is easier if the tires and wheels are out of the way. It is a bit of work to get the right rear bracket in with the tail pipe in place. Also the spacers that go into the frame are also hard to get in place. Lastly, you will still have to drill holes in the bed.
With all this work required, I am very glad that I did not have to drill the frame also.
by: TSD02/28/2022
Towed with it for the first time. Had a Curt Q20 a few years ago, the A series Curt is much easier to use for hitching/unhitching. Very smooth towing, didn’t notice any chucking or loud noises in use. Very pleased with purchase. Not difficult to assemble and since I have the fixed hitch version (long bed truck) it’s manageable getting the hitch out of the bed in parts.
by: Wayne05/03/2020
Extremely pleased with the rails and hitch purchased from etrailer! The video and printed directions were very informative. One caveat though, the bolts inside the frame on the custom kit (2017Chevy 2500hd) are tough, 2 people are needed. We used magnet rods. The hitch(Curt A16) is great but the shipping was FANTASTIC. Ordered on 4/29 and received on 5/1. 2 days!!! Thank you Jane S. and etrailer!!
by: Thomas01/16/2019
The hitch was simple to install. I also purchased the custom brackets to bolt the rails to the frame. Everything lined up exactly as it should. No drilling on the frame!!! I will review the hitch once I get more use out of it. It looks great though.
by: Bob R05/16/2023
Great hitch. One year review, traveled approx 12,000 miles with it. no issues, quiet, very little chucking. Easy to hook up and unhook. Having grease fittings is a plus. I like that the head comes off making it easier and lighter to remove and store.

by: Jkclassics09/04/2023
Hitch arrived two days after I ordered it! It was a breeze to assemble and install. Coupling and uncoupling is much simpler and the red-yellow-green indicators are a real plus. The first time I used it to tow, I was amazed at how much less movement there was of the kingpin in the jaws compared to my previous hitch.

Excellent entry level hitch for the novice camper. Versatile with sliders and puck applications.
by: Joe P10/07/2016
Unit appears solid and well built. Unit feels and appears well built. Nothing about the craftsmanship seems cheap or shoddy. Everything that moves is crisp and tight. There are no rattles or loose components. I feel confident towing with this hitch. If I have not towed with it yet. The hitch has a sleek strong appearance as opposed to my Superglide on a previous truck that took up a lot of bed space.
I had to assemble the unit. Instructions seemed unclear in regard to the handle assembly. With deliberate inspection, I was able to figure it out. Legs were easy to bolt on with assistance. I am happy with this hitch. Website said I needed to purchase a line plate separately. I forgot to get one but it didn't matter because one (plastic disk) was included with the hitch.
I paid for the shipping upgrade to ensure the hitch arrived before hurricane Mathew. I placed my order at night and eTrailer provided me with a tracking number the following morning. Shipping time said 3-5 days. I ordered late night on a Monday and unit arrived on Thursday afternoon. I'm very satisfied with my purchase and experience with this website.

2005 Ram 2500 Quad Cab Short Bed. Xlnt kit, easy install. The installation instructions could have been better. I suggest watching the video on youtube and setting up the rails and hitch on the garage floor first. Take measurements between rail hole rows (row 2 to row 3 - 17 3/4") and add 3/4" for front bed support clearance - 18 1/2". Looking over a rear tire and measuring from the front bed support, My row 2 needed to be rear of center by 1/2". This puts my rear rail at 26 1/4 instead of 26 3/4" from the tailgate. Then everything lined up perfect. The fish wire provided really works great ( threads on to the bolt like a nut). My only problem was the spacer that gets fished with the carriage bolt was to wide for the large hole in my frame. I cut a 1/4" off the spacer and that was the only modification I made to this kit. Not all trucks are the same. XLNT kit, I was impressed !

This is a little confusing. Is the correct measurement 26 34 or 26 1/4 ??I installed a Curt rail kit a couple years ago. I do recall that if you use the instructiondimension...things line up better on a Dodge front rail if everything would have been about a 1/2 inch further rearward. Is there any way this can be clarified? I am starting on another install today. thanks.

The hitch worked great, hooked and unhooked with ease.

Do you have a question about this Fifth Wheel Hitch?
- Will the Curt A16 Hitch Work With the Curt Turning Point Pin Box?
- Yes, the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ford - Gloss Finish # C93WR and the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16120 will work with the Curt Turning Point Pin Box.
The custom install kit # C93WR is going to work great with your 2016 F-150 short box and will minimize drilling by bolting directly to your vehicle's frame.
Attached is an installation video for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Is The Curt Q-16 Compatible With Lippert Rota-Flex Pin Boxes
- While the Curt Q-series of fifth wheel hitches are not compatible with the Rota-Flex line of pin boxes, the Curt A-Series line of pin boxes are compatible. The head of the hitch and the pin box actually work against each other so that's why you've been experiencing a lot of bouncing.
I recommend switching over to Curt A-16 Fifth Wheel Hitch # C16120 to alleviate this issue.
view full answer... - How to Reduce Chucking when Towing 5th-Wheel Trailer without Replacing Trailer Pin Box
- There are a couple of ways other than replacing the pin box on your trailer that can help to reduce the chucking you are experiencing.
First, I simply recommend checking to make sure the tongue weight of your trailer is around 10-15 percent of its total loaded weight. If the tongue weight is too light, this can lead to chucking issues. You can simply redistribute some of the cargo in the trailer in order to put more weight up front.
Another option is the fifth-wheel trailer hitch

- For a 2021 Ram 2500 with 6-1/2 Foot Bed and the OEM Prep Pkg (puck system) the Curt # C16120 will not be the best choice. While this is a good hitch it is a low setting hitch, needs rails and not a slider type that is needed for short bed trucks. The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider for Ram Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20K, # BWRVK3670 is the possibly the best hitch for your Ram with 6-1/2 Foot Bed with OEM Prep Pkg.

- Since the pin holes of your rails are 27" apart you do not have industry standard rails and the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16120 will not work on them. You would need to install some new base rails in your truck for the hitch to attach to. Rail kits are vehicle specific so if you reply back with the vehicle you're using then I can find the correct fitting rails for you.

- Any time you run into a issue with jaws like this the safest bet is to replace the head or to just completely replace the hitch before the jaws fail and the trailer disconnects while towing. We no longer carry Husky brand hitches so in it's place I recommend the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 16,000lbs Item # C16120.
view full answer... - How to Tow a Fifth Wheel Trailer with a Truck that has a Bed Shorter than 6 Feet
- Since your truck bed is shorter than 6 feet your only option for towing a fifth wheel trailer will be to replace the pin box of your trailer with a Sidewinder pin box and use a stationary hitch. Check out the FAQ article I attached on Sidewinders.
With Sidewinders a slider hitch is not necessary as the clearance to make sharp turns is there already. When towing with a standard king pin, the fifth wheel trailer turns or pivots where the king pin is connected to the hitch. With the sidewinder,

- Yes, you can use a fixed hitch with your 2022 Chevy Silverado's 6 3/4 foot bed, you will just need to change your pin box to a rotating pin box for superior clearance. I recommend using the Reese M5 hitch # RP26FR and the 5th Airborne Premium 5th Wheel Air Ride King Pin w/ Sidewinder and Turret - 16,000 lbs item # RP61422. This pin box moves your 5th-Wheel trailer's pivot point back an extra 22" toward the rear of your tow vehicle so that you can easily make 90-degree turns, even with

- There are adapter rails you can use for your 2018 Ram 2500 with the factory puck system that will allow you to mount the fixed Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16120 though the part number you mentioned is only for sliding Curt hitches, and won't allow fixed hitches to mount.

view full answer... - What Clearance Is Needed When Towing Fifth Wheel Trailer
- I have attached a drawing that shows how much clearance is needed when you are towing a fifth wheel trailer. You will want at least 5 or 6 inches between the overhang of the trailer and the bedrails. You also want to make sure your trailer is being towed level.
You can make the adjustment by raising or lowering your hitch in the bed of your truck or bu raising or lowering your trailer pin box.
view full answer... - Parts Needed To Tow a 5th Wheel Trailer With a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
- There are many variables that determine the towing capacity for any particular vehicle; engine size, gear ratio, drive type etc. If you look on page 9-91 of your owner's manual you will see the listed towing capacity based on these variables. I cannot recommend you exceed the towing capacity of your vehicle but I would think you will be alright only moving the trailer a few short blocks.
In order to tow a 5th wheel trailer with your 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, I recommend the Curt

view full answer... - Compatibility of Curt A16 C16120 Hitch with 5th Wheel with 14.5K GVWR
- If the 5th wheel you're purchasing has a 14.5K GVWR, it means that the maximum allowable weight of the trailer cannot exceed 14,500 lbs. This is well below the 16,000 lb capacity of the Curt A16 # C16120 5th Wheel hitch, so you can use it with no worries. For a 20K capacity, use # C16140
There's really no 'rule of thumb', just be sure that the capacity of the hitch exceeds the GVWR of the 5th wheel.

- The Curt Q16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch similar to part # C16120 was designed to fit industry standard in bed fifth wheel rails.

view full answer... - Curt A16 Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2000 Ford F-350
- The Curt A16 fifth wheel hitch part # C16120 is a really solid hitch. It's very easy to use, has a wide height range, has a pivoting head, and a jaw design that holds the king pin tightly. You get a lot of hitch for the money with this which is also really great since it's not too expensive.
Then for a rail kit a custom kit like part # C16443-204 is the way to go as it will minimize drilling and install time.

- First I would check to ensure all bolts holding the head of your HT31326-31314 are in tight. There are two rubber pads that go between the head and the feet and those could be worn out. We no longer carry Husky hitches or their parts so you'd have to reach out to Husky for replacements.
If you can't get those pads or would just like to switch to a newer model hitch I recommend the # C16120.

view full answer... - Finish Difference Between the Curt Custom Install Kits for the 2012 Ram 3500
- The difference between the Curt rails # C16420-204 and the # C16420-104 is in the finish of the rails. The # C16420-204 has a carbide finish which is more of a matte finish whereas the # C16420-104 has a gloss finish.
Either will work fine for you, the choice comes down to which finish you would rather see in the bed of your 2012 Ram 3500 Laramie.
