Secure, Interlocking Two-Piece Jaw

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).

I have towed with the Curt A20 for a few thousand miles. I really like this hitch. The visual hooked versus unkooked indicator is awesome. It operates flawlessly. I do get some chucking over bridge expansion joints. However, it seems like most people have this problem. On normal roads it pulls great.



by: William05/06/2024

Love it. Easy to take apart and move! The instructions were very clear on how to assemble. I pull a 43ft camper and have yet to have any problems! Well worth the $$



by: Dave B09/19/2017

Hitch slid into existing rails after a very minor adjustment. Took my son and I about 25 minutes to assemble, torgue bolts and adjust rails in the bed of my truck. we have used it twice already and camper did not bang and pop like it did on old worn out receiver.
The ordering process was also very smooth. Kelsey took the time to explain the differences in the hitches before I made my decision!
I Would recommend both etrailer and this hitch if you are looking to change out!



by: Donald09/05/2020

Hitch came packed well even though the box looked banged up. Everything was still undamaged and in good usable condition, just minor scuffs. I think this unit will have more when I get done with it. Watched a you tube video from curt on installation and had little trouble installing the hitch following the enclosed guidelines. Everything lined up according to plan. I think the hardest part was getting access by the heat shield. Tough spot to work on but I had help from a younger, more adapt helper who was able to manage just fine. A creeper for underneath was super handy and a 6 foot ladder to climb in and out of the bed made it a whole lot easier. Really did not need to use a lift. Would have made it a bit harder to work in the bed. My truck is quite high which allowed nice working space underneath.

Very nice piece!Arrived sooner than expected. I have the A16 version,that I used for a 10k Lbs 5th wheel and that handle very well but now I'll be towing a 16k tow hauler so I know this a20 will do just fine. And I love the locking jaw versions. I feel these are most secured in any type of towing.

The hitch has been flawless.
To date
I have asked customer service to explain how I can separate the upper section from the lower section after pulling the connection pin with no definitive response. I have have very similar models in the passed and they have come apart with ease. Not this Curt though. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you guys



by: Donald06/21/2020

Seems like a good hitch, installed but haven't used it yet. The way the hitch is packaged is terrible. Even the bolt and bracket kit for the rails wasn't packaged very well. Heavy objects in a box flying around. Box was ripped open but luckily didn't lose any parts. Installed on a 2007 dodge 3500.

by: Steve 05/11/2023

This hitch works very well. No lurching bucking or noise when braking or accelerating. Unit is heavy but the head removes from the body easily and makes it more manageable. Overall I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

This Curt hitch A20 is by far the easiest to install and awesome to hookup and unhook. Money well spent!!!!

by: Daniel06/02/2021

Overall we are very happy with the hitch. We had a learning curve and it took a while for the product to sort of break in but it has worked well for us. The reason for 4 stars vs. 5 is: We were very unhappy with the way it was shipped. It was damaged but not so we could not use it. The packaging was destroyed and the product was dented and had to be painted due to all the scrapes. It arrived pretty beat up. Recently the safety pin chain broke and will have to be replaced. Braided cable might be a better option. The chain given was pretty weak for the abuse that it has to take.

  • Short Fifth Wheel Hitch For 2012 Ford F150 Towing 5th Wheel
  • The rails are industry standard, ISR, and will work with other units. If you need a shorty I recommend going with the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs # C16140. It has a max height of 17 inches and low setting of 13 inches. That will give you the 4 inch drop you need.

What you need to use is the Curt X5 5th-Wheel Base Rail Adapter Plate for EZr Double Lock Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # C16220 which gives you the ability to use most fifth wheel hitches such as the Curt A20 with Slider # C16541 if your '16 Silverado 2500 is a short bed, or the fixed Curt A20 # C16140 which is a fixed hitch for a long

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 with OEM Rail Kit that has Removable Head
  • Taking the head off of a Curt hitch like the A20 part # C16140 is not normally the recommended way to remove the hitch. It wasn't intended to be easy to remove to help with the install and removal process like the B and W hitches have. If you were looking for a hitch like this the B and W Companion part # BWRVK3705 would the way to go. It's head easily comes off to make the removal of the hitch a little more manageable. It also has hand holes in the base of the hitch to help as well.

  • Is Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Compatible with Reese Revolution Pin Box
  • Yes, the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16140 referenced in your question is compatible with the 16K Reese Revolution Pin Box on your trailer. I do just recommend adding the Custom Wedge # C16992 to prevent the Revolution king pin from pivoting in the hitch. This will bolt right onto the Revolution and provide a much better fit for the Curt A20 than the universal wedge that may have come with the trailer. I have attached a couple short video demonstrations on both of these products

  • Grease Fitting Locations for Curt A20 Fifth Wheel Hitch
  • The zerk fittings for the Curt A20 hitch part # C16140 are located on the front of each jaw.The jaws must be in the closed and locked position for the zerks to be accessible. They are kind of hard to see but I attached a picture that points them out. Curt recommends high pressure grease like the part # L11465. If you need a grease gun we have part # L30200.

  • Is The Curt Q20 5th Wheel Hitch Compatible With The Reese Sidewinder?
  • The Curt Q-Series hitches are not compatible with rotating pin boxes, unfortunately. The Q-Series hitch heads are not rated for the stress that the Sidewinder would put on it, which is why it is not compatible. In fact, there are no Curt hitches that are compatible with the Sidewinder. You would have to upgrade to new hitch like the Reese M5 # RP26FR. This hitch, similarly to your Curt Q20, is rated for 20,000-lbs. If you let me know the size of your bed and if you have the OEM prep

  • Is Curt Q20 Head Compatible With Curt A20 Legs
  • I checked with Curt for you, and the head unit of the Curt Q20 is not compatible with the legs of the Curt A20 as they mount differently. So what you would need instead is the head unit of the A20, which is the Replacement Head Unit for Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16540. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well if you'd like to take a look.

  • Recommended Equipment to Tow 5th Wheel Trailer With 2018 Ram 2500 With 8 Foot Bed
  • The best towing setup for your 2018 Ram 2500 with an 8 bed is going to consist of all the parts you mentioned - a fifth wheel hitch, base rails, suspension enhancement and a transmission cooler. The right fifth wheel hitch is going to be crucial and I highly recommend the Curt A20 # C16140 because it has a jaw system that is extremely secure and is simpler to use than many fifth-wheel hitches because of its color-coded indicator system. This color-coded system, which you can check out

  • Recommendation to Tow 5th-Wheel Trailer with 2016 Ram 2500 with Ram Box
  • I may have a solution for you, however the issue with the Ram Box on your 2016 Ram 2500 is that is that it puts the rails of the bed too close together and it causes interference with the pin box of the trailer when turning corners. While Sidewinder has not officially said that you can use a Sidewinder with a Ram Box, we have talked with several customers that state that with a Sidewinder pin box they were able to tow a fifth wheel trailer. Sidewinders move the pivot point higher so

  • Loose Connection Between Curt A20 Hitch and Curt Base Rails
  • Since you mentioned the cotter pins which are used to secure the feet inside the rails, that makes me that you are referring to the connection point between the rail and foot on one of the four corners of the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16140. If that is the case then you will want to inspect the hole on the foot, the hole inside the rail, and the pin that connects these together. If these holes have become misshapen then this could very well cause the loose connection that

  • Why Recommend Fixed Hitch Over Sliding Hitch for 2016 Ram 2500 Short Bed and Trailer with Sidewinder
  • While you can use a sliding fifth wheel hitch with a Sidewinder or Turning Point Pin Box, recommendations are made to try and provide the best solution for our customers. For someone with a short bed and a rotating turret, a fixed hitch is going to offer the best towing experience. Fixed hitches provide a better ride than sliding hitches and there is also the consideration of the hitch and what else it provides. For example, on a 2016 Ram 2500 short bed with the factory prep package,

  • Replacement Fixed Legs For A Curt A20 And Curt A25 5th Wheel Hitch

If you need any other components for your hitches I'd be happy to assist you further, just submit another question and it'll get filtered back to me.

  • What Capacity 5th Wheel Hitch Do I Need for Trailer with 15,500-lbs GVWR
  • To tow a nearly 16000-lbs GVWR 5th wheel trailer you'd want at least a 16k 5th wheel hitch, but I think there's a lot of good reasons to go up to an 18k or even 21k hitch; it'll give you a little extra peace of mind that your hitch us up to the task of hauling your trailer, and allows you some flexibility to use the same hitch should you get a bigger trailer in the future. The Curt A20 # C16140 that you were looking at will give you that extra capacity that I mentioned since it's rated

  • Does the Curt A20 Fit the Ford Factory Puck System?
  • Yes, there are a couple of ways to make a Curt A20 work in the Ford factory puck system. The easiest way is to use the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # C16034. This 5th wheel hitch comes with the legs that mount inside the Ford puck system. If you already have the Curt A20 item # C16140 you were looking at, you can add the Curt OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch Legs item # C16017 or just use the Adapter Rails item # C88KR. Both options will work and not reduce the capacity.

  • How to Adjust Curt A20 Hitch Head Height for Trailer that has Front Tires Showing Wear
  • If you are talking about adjusting the height of your 5th wheel hitch like the Curt A20 # C16140 then you will simply need to move the hitch head to the appropriate adjustment holes (see attached picture). Loosen the nuts on the bolts holding the hitch head in place and then either put them in a higher or lower adjustment hole. Wear on your tires can be the result of a few different things. Your trailer not being level is definitely one of them. You can also adjust the height of your

  • How To Choose the Correct Weight 5th Wheel Hitch for a 16K Trailer
  • In regards to choosing the correct weight fifth wheel hitch, you'll need to be rated for at least a few thousand lbs above the fully loaded weight of the trailer. For example, if the trailer weighs around 16,000 lbs then you'll need a fifth wheel hitch rated for at least 20,000 lbs. For this, the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16140 is one of the best bang for your buck options. It has a dual interlocking jaw design for a tight grip and an easily removable hitch head.

  • Is a 16K 5th Wheel Hitch Enough for a 16K GVWR Trailer
  • The gross vehicle weight rating or GVWR is the most the trailer can weigh fully loaded. In regards to choosing a fifth wheel hitch for a trailer, you'll need to be rated above this figure. For example, if the trailer has a GVWR of 16,190 lbs then a 16,000 lb fifth wheel hitch won't be a wise choice. I recommend a 20K, the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16140 is the best for the money and will work with Reese rails if that is what you have. This allows you to load the trailer with

  • How To Increase Ground Clearance for Front Jacks on a 5th Wheel Trailer
  • In order to achieve more ground clearance for the landing gear legs on your 5th wheel trailer, the only real option you have is to raise the trailer. The reason for this is that the more you raise the nose, the more unlevel your trailer will be which will then cause sway issues. Therefore, you will need to raise the trailer that way you can obtain more clearance for your landing gear legs while also still staying level. In order to raise your trailer I have a few options for you but

  • Can Demco FWH24PA 5th Wheel Hitch Be Cut and Welded to Fit ISR Base Rails on 2008 F-350
  • Your Demco FWH24PA 5th wheel hitch is an older model that required specialized rails to be installed on the tow vehicle. Unfortunately these rails aren't made anymore and I can't recommend cutting and re-welding the tabs on your 5th wheel hitch to align with industry standard rails as that introduces an unknown variable in the weight capacity. For a setup that works with your 2008 Ford F-350 Super Duty I recommend the following: - Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16448-204

These fit 2WD and 4X4. These have a 5,000-lb weight capacity. The air bags reduce the strain on your rear suspension, increase safety, and compensate

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Mounting Brackets For 2006 Ford F-250 4x4 Short Bed with SuperGlide 4100
  • I do have a mounting bracket option for your SuperGlide 4100 5th wheel hitch, but unfortunately there are no below-bed rails compatible with that hitch. To get it installed in your 2006 Ford F-250 short bed you'll need standard above-bed rails like the Curt # C16448-204. This will work fine with most air bag kits for your truck such as the Firestone # F2400. If having a completely empty bed when not using the hitch is important to you then you'll need to sell your current hitch and

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Mounting Bracket/Rails for 2011 Ford F-250
  • The correct Curt Bracket/Mounting Rail kit for your 2011 Ford F250 is # C16424-204. The # C16448-204 you'd checked out is a fit for 2005-2010 Ford F250, F350 and F450 trucks and wouldn't be compatible with your 2011 model. If you'd like to install a 7-way trailer connector in the truck bed, you can do so using part # C56000. I've linked you to install videos for the hitch bracket/rail kit and the wiring harness I recommended.

  • Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit for 2008 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty With 8 Foot Bed
  • The Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit, part # C16448-204, is available if you already own a 5th wheel hitch, like the Q20 part # C16130 and need to install above bed rails in your 2008 Ford Super Duty's truck bed. The kit does include the brackets, rails, and the hardware that is needed. These same rails are used for the Curt 5th Wheel hitches rated for 16,000 lbs and 24,000 lbs, and they are also compatible with Draw-Tite, Reese, Valley, and Husky 5th Wheel Hitches that use industry

  • Recommended Custom 5th Wheel Rail Kit for a 2005 Ford F-250 With Rear Bags
  • Since 5th wheel rails and your air bags aren't installed in the same place, a custom kit like the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ford # C16448-204 would work fine. You could also use a universal set, but I wouldn't recommend it since you'd be doing a lot more drilling.
