Secure, Interlocking Two-Piece Jaw

A20 Two-Piece Interlocking Jaw

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.


Three-Point Indicator System

A20 Color 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).


R20 Slider

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.

Like some other posts, followed instructions to the letter and hitch would not drop into rails. Loosened all the rails bolts, mounted hitch, and re-torqued everything. Puck mounting brackets were just off square a bit and twisted the rails when first installed. Either square ‘em up or alter instructions so it goes in first time. Installed in a 2022 Silverado 2500 6’10” bed. Loved the plan, set the rails first time in a few minutes (instead of waiting in a shop for four hours while someone else did the boring and cutting and such). Hitch has been in two other trucks with conventional rails and always fit. Coulda been a five star, but I am familiar with Curt and feel sure they will get it right.

Still satisfied, still recommend. Easy to move hitch in truck as one unit when I need more of the bed available, no further adjustments needed.

Great product. Bought a new F250 with puck system and this product adapted my hitch to the puck system. I did have to drop the head of my hitch because the adapter raises it 2.5 inches. Feet on my Curt A16 fit right into the rails on adapter.

Still doing a great job. I have an overhead hoist in my garage so I can remove adapter and hitch as one unit leaving me with a clean bed. unit into pucks in bed and turn four handles and we’re ready to go! Great product.

@Ron Hoists are lifesavers!


by: Floyd03/16/2024

Really wanted to give this 5 stars but it appears they didn’t try it with a hitch like mine. The flanges on the cross supports do not allow my hitch to seat down onto the support tubes. Thus the hitch holes will not line up with the tube holes and the pins cannot be inserted. I fixed it by taking a sledge hammer to the ears on my hitch until the holes aligned. I shouldn’t need to do that to something this expensive.

It is a shame that you had to use a sledgehammer to use the rails. I wanted to ask which brand of hitch do you have?



by: Randall06/29/2023

Great Hitch, very happy with this unit. Have pulled the 18K lb fifth wheel over 25K miles (Florida to Idaho, back to Florida and now Alaska). We have covered many rough roads and challenging situations, without problems and have never had a bad couple.
The hitch indicator on front of head gives a clear indication of latching condition, and the latch handle has a locking pin for added protection. This pin is the only issue I have had, which can be trapped under the slide plate if your truck is at an angle (beyond about 35 deg) from the rv. I make it a point to pull this pin prior to backing if I am the least bit concerned.

This is a great hitch! Excellent quality and it's made here in America.

After purchasing a new truck, I needed an adapter for the Chevy puck system without buying the entire 5th wheel hitch, this fit the bill. Heavily built and easy to install. The only thing I would recommend is to use larger cotter pins because the ones that came with assembly would not engage the castle nuts.



by: Patrick06/19/2023

This is very well built and operates great. Once I got the first rail positioned and mounted, everything else was very easy. The R20 slider came in a single box and was very heavy. The packaging is not suitable for the weight. As others have also reported, the package was completely demolished when it arrived. Thankfully , all the part’s made it okay and nothing was damaged. I love the product.

2020 GMC Sierra 3500

Assembly and setup was super easy and quick. Seems super stout. I was worried the added 2 1/2 inches of height added by this would require some adjustments to the pin box. However once hooking up my trailer, no adjustments were necessary. Trailer is almost spot on level, and I am still maintaining 6.5-7 inches of bed side clearance to the trailer.



by: Casey 04/11/2024

This is definitely a quality part. I've had it a year, easy to swap between my fifth wheel and gooseneck plate. It installs or comes out easily, it fits securely in my 2023 Silverado 3500. I've pull all of the 25000lbs it's rated for without issue. I highly recommend it. It allowed me to use my fifth wheel and gooseneck plate from my old truck that had rails in it.



by: James 03/21/2023

Easy assembly, fit well. Works just like it should. Put the hitch at a good level to level 5th wheel.

Frist order was wrong. Not a happy camper as I was not able to bring my new fifth wheel home the day of purchase. Talked with Joshua at etrailer, he helped me with a new order, it arrived two days earlier than expected. Assemble was easy. waiting to bring new fifth wheel home. Thanks Joshua



by: Gwen 05/08/2024

Easy to assemble and install. Love that it snaps into the puck system in the truck bed and allows me to remove the entire hitch using an electric hoist, easily.



by: Chris07/14/2022

Like everyone writes. Packaging is light for such 5th wheel heavy metal hitches. just some scuffs but everything was there (incl hardware). R20 roller box fell apart. A20 hitch head box was intact and well packed with styrofoam. Installed same day. Can't wait to camp. I've upgraded from Husky 15k slider to Curt A20 w/ R20 slider. I kept my original Reese rails for my Ram3500 puck system. Everything fit together. Ordering was easy over the phone. Delivery was quick. All nice things to say. Thanks you all around.



by: James08/15/2021

The A20 hitch and R20 slider are outstanding products.
One issue I had was the differing instructions on bolting the two together.
The A20 instructions are for bolting to stationary’leg’ base. The R20 slider instructions are what I used and worked very well.

It has been around a year since my purchase I haven’t had any problems. I’ve only had to remove the hitch once because I needed the full bed of the truck. I was able to assemble it back in the truck just as easy as the first time. The main reason for this purchase was it saved me from having to purchase another hitch and I can remove the hitch and use it in my other truck with standard rails.

I reached out to the manufacturer and they said their product page says the height should be around 2.5 inches. It sounds like your bars were installed upside down or backwards.

Directions were easy to follow and had everything hooked up quickly. As mentioned the adapter raised my hitch 2” so I dropped the 5th wheel hitch down a set of holes (2”).

Have not gotten to tow yet but everything went together fairly easy. One major disappointment was the shipping and the packages were dumped in my driveway. Also it was not clear if I should use the spacers on this while installing the A16 hitch. I tried to get them to fit but could not get the pins to fit so I removed the spacers.

  • Adapter Part Needed for Curt A20 Slider to Fit 2022 Ford F-350 with OEM Puck Package
  • Thanks for the photo! For your Ram you currently have the Curt A20 # C16541 with the Adapter Rails # C16022. To fit this on your 2022 Ford F-350 Super Duty with the 8' bed and OEM package you can either use the Adapter Rails # C88KR or the Leg Kit # C16017. The adapter rails can be adapted for Ford, Chevy, and Ram OEM pucks but if you go with the OEM leg kit it'll make your 5th wheel hitch much lighter since you don't need the whole slider kit. I recommend going with the OEM leg kit

  • Can I Upgrade Curt Hitch For 16K To A20 Without Changing Rails
  • If you have industry standard rails in the truck that match the photo I have attached and you want to switch Curt fixed Q20 part # C16130 or the Curt A20 slider part # C16541 that attaches to standard industry rails you will not need to change the mounting rails. If you are trying to a switch to a Q20 that fits an OEM puck system I would need to know your year make and model to assist with that conversion.

  • Which Is Better, The Curt A-Series Or Q-Series Fifth Wheel Hitches
  • The Curt A-Series line is the premium version over the Q-Series line and comes with a few differences. One major difference being the jaw design for the A-Series, which overlaps itself instead of just butting up to itself like the Q-Series does. This allows for a more secure connection to the king pin. The other major difference is that the head is made stronger in order to withstand the pressure from a rotating pin box. The Q-Series is incompatible with rotating pin boxes like the Reese

It would be an extra expense that isn't necessary for a long bed truck. But for a short bed, 6-3/4 foot for the 2011 Ford F-250, a slider would be the way to go.

Lubricate before each individual use and every 1,000 miles thereafter. Black graphite grease is recommended for the jaw, pins and the lower bearing assembly jaw.
