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
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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

There were no parts missing! Just 4 extra 34 inch washers were needed

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: 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

This system worked perfectly, and was very easy to install.
by: Keith L.09/02/2019
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.
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.

Well built. Some bolts are a bugger to get tightened up but not bad. Didn't remove the heat shield.
by: Lonnie02/12/2020
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: 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: 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: 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.

It was easy to install and very solid, i towed my 16,000 5th wheel and it road very nice
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.
by: Justin02/08/2020
Easy install great product love the interlocking jaws I can’t wait to tow with it thank you E trailer for a great used part well worth it with one little scratch on would buy a used product from etrailer anytime

- 5th Wheel Base Rail and Bracket Kit That Fits 2013 Ram 1500
- The 5th wheel rail and bracket kit that fits your 2013 Ram 1500 which I recommend is the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16444-204.
This kit is the best for your Ram 1500 because it is a custom fit for your truck which means it is an easier install that will take less time than other kits. It is also a fit even if your Ram has the factory Air Suspension system, which is not the case with other kits.
If you also need a 5th wheel hitch I recommend the easy-to-use and secure

- There is indeed an odd issue with using the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter part # 16310 on a 2017 Ford F-350 with the B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch. That said, the Demco 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter part # DM6140 will work with the B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch on your 2017 Ford F-350 and it allows you to use the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16120 so this is what I recommend to save some cash but the B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part
view full answer... - 5th Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Silverado 2500 HD Short Bed
- First, please note that a slider hitch is recommended for your 2015 Silverado 2500 HD with 6-1/2-foot bed unless a Sidewinder pin box is installed on your 5th wheel. If you do have a Sidewinder (or Revolution) pin box then you can safely use a fixed 5th wheel hitch.
I suggest a custom-fit installation bracket kit. These reduce overall installation time and also avoid the need to drill into your new truck's frame. Universal kits cost a bit less but for a one-time effort like a 5th wheel
view full answer... - Towing Capacity and 5th-Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
- Based on my research, it looks like the maximum towing capacity of the 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 is around 11,000 pounds, however I strongly recommend checking your owner's manual, as this number can fluctuate depending on the type of engine or specific model of your vehicle. Once you find this information, you will know how much weight you can safely tow.
If you still need a 5th-wheel hitch and installation kit for your 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, I recommend the Curt A16 5th

- My favorite 5th wheel hitch and install kit for a 2018 Ford F-150 with the 5-1/2' bed is the Reese M5 # RP30928 along with custom install kit # RP56034-53. This is a very reliable and heavy duty setup for your truck.
You may also want the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness part # C57008 which will give you an in bed 7-way for your 5th wheel trailer.
Since you have a 5-1/2' bed, in order to obtain turning clearance on a 90 degree turn you will need to use a rotating pin
view full answer... - Can Curt A16 Hitch Replace Pullrite 20k ISR Hitch and Fit Same Rails
- Yes, the Curt A16 hitch part # C16120 will fit the same rails as your PullRite 20k ISR hitch. The ISR actually stands for Industry Standard Rails which is what the Curt hitch fits so it would be an easy, drop-in fit to the rails you have now.
The height range of the A16 is 13 to 17 inches but that's not counting the additional height the bed rails add which is what the dimension you took included. So this hitch will easily give you the same height you need of 18 inches from top of hitch
view full answer... - Recommended Base Rails and 5th Wheel Hitch for Volkswagen Amarok
- I have a solution for you, but there is not a custom 5th wheel base rail kit for this truck. You could use the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails with Installation Kit - Carbide Black Finish # C16200 to install the base rails on your VW Amarok. These base rails would allow you to use any 5th wheel hitch that fits in industry standard base rails, like the Curt A16 Fifth Wheel Hitch # C16120. This would provide you with a setup capable of towing a 5th wheel trailer with your Amarok.

- That is a great question!
You are going to want to go with the Camper's GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) which is the weight of the camper plus the maximum cargo weight allowed by the camper manufacturer. This will be the heaviest the camper can safely weigh according to the manufacturer's specifications.

- The Curt Custom 5th Wheel Install Kit part # C16443-204 which is a fit for your 2003 Ford F-250/F-350 will use three bolts to secure the base rail to the frame bracket and one bolt to secure the base rail to the bed floor on each side. Therefore, you will only be using three bolts per side that go between the base rail and frame bracket but there are a total of four bolts per side securing the base rail. The 5th wheel install kits will all use four bolts per side to secure the base rail

- 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,

- Rotating pin boxes, like your Curt Turning Point, require four points of contact so you wouldn't be able to use a Turnoverball hitch to keep a clear bed unless you locked out the rotating function. If maintaining a clear bed is the top priority then you'll want to lock out the Turning Point and use a sliding hitch to help with tight turns and prevent the trailer from hitting the cab of the truck.

- Yes, the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16120 and Curt A16 Slider 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16521 fit industry standard above bed rails like Reese rails. As long as you have industry standard above bed rails in the truck bed the Curt is compatible. You can compare your rails to the photo I have attached to be sure they are industry standard but most Reese rails are.
view full answer... - Replacement Recommendation For Husky 16k 5th Wheel hitch
- 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.

- Any of the 5th wheel trailer hitches that we carry will work well with your MOR/ryde king pin. The cushioning feature on the Reese Titan hitches and the Curt Q Series hitches isn't significant enough to interfere with the cushioning features on a king pin.
Between the Reese TItan and Curt Q Series, I recommend the Reese Titan 20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30867 with the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Outboard Installation Kit # RP56001-53. The head on the Titan is much larger

I'd recommend the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Single Jaw - 20,000 lbs # RP30928. This will fit industry standard rails and also be compatible with a sidewinder when also using Sidewinder Wedge # RP44FR.
To install the hitch, you'll need the vehicle specific bracket and rail kit. If your F150 is a 2015-2020 model, you'd use the # RP50087-58 bracket/rail kit.

- You will most likely need to remove the B and W hitch in order to install the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit, # C16418-204.

- 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.

- We can't recommend the mixing of fifth wheel brackets and rail manufacturers. If you have Reese rails you would want a set of Reese brackets. Without knowing what vehicle you have it would be hard for me to recommend the correct brackets to go with your rails.
If you have Curt brackets and need rails you would want # C16204.

I also recommend adding the 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Plug # 50-97-410 to the bed of your truck. This is going to make hooking and unhooking your 5th wheel so much easier and

- Reese above bed rails will work with the custom brackets or the universal brackets that attach to your truck frame. We recommend sticking with the same brand brackets and rails for the sake of compatibility, but we know customers have interchanged them without any known issues. When installing the above bed rails like # RP58058 if you have the rails but not the hardware you will need the Replacement Hardware Kit for Fifth Wheel Base Rails - 10 Bolt # RP58430.

- There can be differences in base rail installation bolt patterns between manufacturers so it is important to make sure that you get some that are compatible.
From the dimensions that you gave in your picture it looks like the previous owner had a Curt base rail kit installed. I went down to our Customer Service area and measured the base rails that we have and they had the exact same mounting bolt pattern that you referenced.
If you did not already have the brackets installed on

- The Curt Customer Fifth Wheel installation Kit # C16418-204 is compatible with Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Reese, Valley and Husky 5th wheel hitches. I recommend going with The Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R24 Slider - Dual Jaw - 24,000 pounds # C16566. This slider hitch will connect directly to your Curt rails. It has a 2-jaw locking system which provides 360-degree jaw-to-king-pin contact .

- 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.

- Thanks for reaching out!
To tow a 5th wheel trailer with your 2008 GMC Sierra 2500HD short bed you'll need a base rail kit and the 5th wheel hitch itself. I also recommend picking up wiring like the Pollak # PK11893-11932 to install in the bed of your truck for easier access than at the bumper.
For base rails I recommend the Curt Custom Install Kit # C16418-204 because the brackets line up with holes in the frame of your truck so you won't have to do any drilling into your frame which
