Secure, Interlocking Two-Piece 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).

High quality, heavy duty system. Bolted right in and instructions were easy to follow. I feel good about pulling our camper with this set up. Only issue was shipping, the box was damaged and was missing the pins that were ordered. But customer service quickly got thing fixed and resent.



by: Marlon05/26/2023

Nice well made with thick material. Time would tell how sturdy it is. Easy to install, clear instructions with everything you need for it. (Nuts and bolts).
This is my second mounting kit that I get for my trucks.



by: Dave06/19/2020

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: Jacob06/29/2022

Upon delivery the box was a little banged up. Everything was inside was still in good condition. To my time with install to insure proper alignment, the only thing I can say negative about it is, you need 4 additional 3/4 inch washers for the frame bracket bolts that are not included, at least I did! On both sides. In the end it was a rather easy success.

2004 Chevrolet Silverado

2004 Chevy Silverado 2500HD, installed the Custom 5th Wheel Installation kit along with the Q16 Slider Hitch. Product arrived very quickly after ordering. It was shipped in 3 different boxes. One box was a little beat up during shipping, but all of the parts were there and undamaged. I watched the installation video once, then my brother-in-law and I tackled the job which took us about 2 hours. This was not difficult to install other than trying to get the 1/2" bolt through the hole on the driver side of the frame (the frame is boxed there). The included wire guide helped, but you still have to manipulate the bolt into the right position in a very tight spot. Everything turned out to be a perfect fit, no modifications needed. Also, I removed both rear wheels before starting which gave us plenty of working room. I have purchased from etrailer in the past and will continue to use them in the future.



by: Jason11/09/2023

Installed on my 2005 Chevrolet 2500. Used install videos from your website and had no problems at all installing. Fast shipping also. Thank you for a great website!



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.



by: Keagan09/11/2022

This kit is perfect! Comes with everything you need with easy to install instructions. I’d recommend this and other etrailer products. They match all factory specs. Simple and easy

Well built. Some bolts are a bugger to get tightened up but not bad. Didn't remove the heat shield.



by: Robert11/13/2021

Excellent hitch, took two of us 10 minutes, during a rain storm lol, to put together and install! As far as towing our Redwood 5th wheel it performed flawlessly, easy to hook up and the ride was super smooth and no noticeable bucking!



by: Roger06/03/2023

great hitch.



by: Alejandro05/21/2022

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.



by: Austin 02/14/2024

Had an issue with my bank denying my order of two of the same items. Talked to Adam with customer service and he was fantastic. He got everything straightened out and received my order in less than two days

by: Brian 04/10/2024

Perfect fit and great quality.



by: Jeremiah 09/23/2016

Very strong product I would give five stars except the instructions would not be good for an every day truck owner but the E trailer video is really good the only issue with a long bed is you have to drill 4 holes in the front of the frame two on each side and be aware if you do have a long bed truck you will need a big drillbit for instants I used a 7/8 but the overall product is good shipping was great could not imagine having to install the universal brackets and this kit made it so much easier

Update I have probably put about 5000 miles of towing With this kit I have not had an issue with it still looks good no rust all the bolts are still tight



by: Karl 06/25/2023

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.



by: Harold03/18/2024

Shipping was extremely fast and all the extra information that can with the products I purchased made the entire experience that I would return for and refer friends to.



by: Martin 10/02/2022

I did call for etrailer customer board for help upgrading my ride pulling my fifth wheel . After many questions on how was ride was at the present he coke up with the curt A20 trailer hitch.
I am not a experienced driver but feels the difference now, and etrailer customer service not only got my drive better but save me money buying the right equipment.
Thank you guys

I wish I could give two ratings for this kit, one for quality of product, and one for quality of fit and instruction. The product quality, once it is installed is very nice and heavy duty.
The instructions, and the fit on my 2005 GMC one ton dually leave a lot to be desired. They say it should take about 90 minutes to install. Plan on about 8 hours if you don't have a lift, and plan on drilling 3/4 inch holes in the frame rails. You better have access to a compressor, cut off wheel, 1/2 inch impact gun, 1/2 inch drill motor and 3/4 drill or reamer. This is NOT for the average "weekend warrior" with a small set of hand tools to install.

Very heavy duty. Very secure. No problems aside from the initial installation. Nice setup.



by: David05/20/2023

Easy install,great product



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.

Do you have a question about this Fifth Wheel Hitch?


  • 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

  • Does the Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch Come with Instructions and Hardware for Installation
  • The Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16140 comes with instructions and all of the hardware needed to install on Industry Standard Base Rails. If you already have base rails installed on your 2012 Ford F-350 then you are good to go. If you have the factory rail kit then you will need to go with the A20 part # C16034. If you have no base rails or the factory rail kit installed on your F-350 then I recommend the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit for Ford # C16424-204 which is compatible

  • Will the Curt E16 fit a 2007 Ford F-350 Super Duty with Above Bed Rails
  • A 5th wheel hitch like the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16115 will fit B&W, Curt, Demco, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, Reese, and Valley above-bed base rails. As long as you have the correct rails, you will be able to use the A20 in your 2007 Ford F-350 Super Duty. More than likely you have Curt rails from the initial installation of your Curt Sliding 5th wheel hitch. Since you have a sliding hitch, I will assume that you have the 6-1/2 foot bed.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for Smooth Ride with 2017 Ford F-250 and Reese Revolution Pin Box
  • The Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch # C16140 that you referenced is actually the exact hitch I recommend for providing the smoothest ride with the Reese Revolution pin box on your new trailer. This ride comfort starts at the A20's interlocking 2-jaw system that will completely wrap around the king pin. This not only creates an extremely secure connection with the trailer, but it also drastically reduces movement at this attachment point and allows for a really quiet ride. In addition to the

  • Removing A Curt A20 Hitch From The Bed Rails
  • The legs of the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 20,000lbs Item # C16140 have a simple pin and clip to attach to the bed rails. If the clips have been pulled and the pins are too tight to get out I recommend using some WD40 and trying to work them side to side to loosen them up and then trying to pull them out. If you used a different brand base rail system than Curt that may be the cause of the bind and I recommend switching to the correct Curt branded base rail for your

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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. It can be

  • Can Curt A20 5th Wheel Head Unit Replace Curt Q20 Head Unit for Use With Sidewinder
  • I reached out to Curt about this, and what they told me was that the Q20 and A20 use different legs with different mounting, so the Head Unit for Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16540 will not fit on the Q20 legs. Neither one will work with a Reese sidewinder, so you'll instead want to go with something like the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16115 which fits standard 5th wheel rails like you should have.

  • Weight of Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch # C16140
  • The Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16140 referenced in your question weighs in at right around 137 pounds. Keep in mind though that one of the benefits of this particular hitch is its fast 1-pin head removal that makes it much easier to remove the hitch from your truck with just one person. This allows you to remove the hitch in a couple of pieces instead of the whole unit. The head by itself weighs about 100 pounds and the legs weigh 37 pounds total. I have attached a short

  • Where are Grease Fittings on Curt A20 Fifth Wheel Hitch
  • I can help you with info on greasing the A20 hitch but we don't have a video to share at this time. 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 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

  • Which is Better Curt Q20 or A20 Fifth Wheel Hitch

Also the A20 has a limited lifetime warranty and the Q20 has a 10 year warranty for the head. If your trailer has a rotating pin box then you'll need a different fixed hitch, such as Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16115 and custom wedge # C16991 to keep the king pin from rotating inside the pin box.

  • Recommendation for Best Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2019 Ford F350 RWD Long Bed
  • The exact hitch needed will depend on whether your 2019 Ford F350 has the factory tow prep package with the pucks in the bed or not. When it comes to trouble-free performance, durability and ease of use, you can't go wrong with B&W 5th wheel hitches. When somebody asks for the best, that's where we point them. The B&W Companion offers massive 1 inch thick jaws that contact the king pin all the way around for a smooth rattle free ride. Not having full contact causes the jerking and banging

  • Fifth Wheel and Rail Kit Recommend for 2016 Chevy 3500HD Towing Trailer with Max Turn Nose
  • Normally for short bed trucks a slider hitch is needed to allow you to make tight turns, but since you have a trailer that has a narrow nose it would not be necessary. The Curt A20 hitch part # C16140 is a great hitch that would work well for you. This is the stationary hitch. For a rail kit you would want to go with a custom fit kit like the part # C16411-204 which is custom fit for your 2016 Chevy Silverado 3500.

  • From what I'm seeing in my research, the installation of the Curt # C16418-204 on a 2008 Chevy Silverado 2500 will require lowering the gas tank on the models that have the 35 gallon gas tank in order to allow you to tighten the bolts on the front of the bracket; I've seen some people say they've been able to squeeze smaller hands in there to tighten the bolts without lowering it, but it's a case by case basis. In this instance since all above bed rail kit brackets are going to attach

  • How Long Would it Take Shop to Install Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit C16418-204
  • I could see both figures being accurate depending on how familiar the shop is with fifth wheel bracket installs. We tell customers that it's going to take about 4 hours for this kit. But a shop with better tools and who is familiar with the bracket kits I could see them knocking it out in 2-1/2 hours pretty easy.

  • In order to choose a replacement pin box for your '89 Featherlite Holiday Rambler you can either look for a pin box number on your current pin box (like 1621 or 0719 for example) but if you can't locate a number the next best thing to do is take measurements of your pin box.

  • Do I Need My 5th Wheel Hitch Present to Properly Install a Base Rail Kit
  • You do need a 5th wheel hitch that fits on the industry standard rails in order to properly install the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit # C16418-204. Having your 5th wheel hitch present and available to assist with installation ensures that when you install the second rail that you've got a snug/secure fit. If your truck doesn't already have a 7 way connector in the truck bed for your 5th wheel, I recommend using the Curt # C56070 in order to make connecting your 7 way much easier.

  • Replacement Base Rail Brackets For A Curt E-16 Hitch In A 2013 GMC Sierra
  • Since you're looking at base rail kits I'm assuming you're looking the brackets that mount the rails to the frame of your Sierra. If your have Curt rails ( # C16104 or # C16204) then you'll need part # C16400 for a 1500 or part # C16411 for a 2500/3500. If you have different rails I would need to know the exact model in order to find the appropriate brackets. If you're looking for something else then just take a picture of it and send me it and I'd be happy to look for a replacement.
