Secure, Interlocking Two-Piece Jaw

A16 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

A16 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).


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

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.

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.



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.

Great easy installation



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.



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.

Not too hard to install holes lined up. Had to make the hole in the frame toward the front larger. After measuring the rails perfect hole placement to installed the rails. Took about 4 hours total. Very good help from the customer service at etrailer to match up the item and also save me a few dollars.

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: Pat11/26/2020

It was easy to install and very solid, i towed my 16,000 5th wheel and it road very nice

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.



by: Raymond07/29/2021

The hitch worked great, hooked and unhooked with ease.



by: Peter C09/11/2016

Customer service for product selection and order entry were excellent and focused on my interests and needs. The hitch, custom installation kit, and harness were shipped very quickly and arrived sooner than expected. Everything arrived in excellent condition. Assembly and installation instructions were very clear and specific, and I was able to assemble and install everything with no problems and in a very reasonable amount of time. Total cost was roughly half of what it would have been if I had purchased the products and had them installed by a dealer. I am very satisfied with my experience dealing with etrailer.com, and would highly recommend them to anyone shopping for towing products.



by: Revbucco01/05/2017

The only problem I encountered was with UPS. First, they ignored a request not to deliver early and second they left my hitch on the porch where it was rained on....

The Curt Hitch was exactly as promised and the earliest installation I have done in a long time. It was simple and quick to install and fit my existing rails without a hitch (no pun intended). It will be a couple of weeks before I will be able to test it but it is a great looking hitch and looks like it will live up to all the reviews.

etrailer shipped this quick! I received notification that it would be delivered the next day and I did not purchase one day service and assumed it would not be delivered until after the holidays. The is the reason I contacted UPS and paid to have the service date changed, which UPS ignored and delivered anyways. I strongly recommend etrailer and will be using them again in the future.



by: Joe 12/16/2022

got a really good deal its still new but paid used price



by: Sid10/01/2022

I think it's strong enough, however with my Curt Turning Point hitch (which came with my Reflection 150 series fifth wheel rv) it's many times a bear to get unhitched. If I had it to do over I'd go with the B&W Patriot.

  • Curt A16 5th Wheel Hitch Coupling Issue Troubleshooting
  • It sounds to me like the Curt A16 hitch # C16120 may need to be lubricated. You might also have a spring or some other internal component that is about to fail. 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. High-pressure wheel bearing grease is preferred for the skid plate. NOTE: In severe cold temperatures a lighter grease, such as white lithium, may be substituted for

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 w/ a Short Bed
  • Since your 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 has a short bed, you would need either a rotating pin box, if your bed is 5-3/4' in length, or a sliding fifth wheel hitch, if your bed is 6-1/2' in length. These options would allow for enough turning clearance to prevent the nose of the trailer from coming into contact with the cab of your Silverado when making tight turns. If your 2017 Keystone RV Cougar X-Lite 29RES comes with a Lippert Turning Point or Reese Sidewinder pin box then you'll need

  • Best Easy To Use 5th Wheel Hitch with the Lippert Tuning Point on a 2019 Ford F-150 Short Bed
  • For starters, we do not carry the Lippert Tuning Point Pin Box or the Anderson Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection 2 Gooseneck Mount so if you need exact advice on their compatibility it would be best if you reach out to each manufacturer directly. However, generally speaking a rotating pin box like the Lippert Tuning Point cannot be used with any sort of gooseneck to 5th wheel adapter like the Anderson Ultimate. The reason for this has to do with the added stress on the single connection point

  • Curt A16 5TH Wheel Hitch Rattles in Bed Rails When Doors and Tailgate are Closed
  • It is not strange that the one leg of the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16120 sits higher than the other. As the Legs # C16920 are bolted to the Head # C16520 with the Hardware Kit # C16125-SK4 you can loosen the bolts to level the legs and even them all out. We also have the Fifth Wheel Rail Sound Dampeners # 16900 that you can place between the 5th wheel rails and hitch to help eliminate the rattling you are getting.

  • Adapter Rails For 2018 Ram 2500 With Puck System For Curt A16 Fixed 5th Wheel Hitch

  • 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.

  • 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

I recommend taking a look at the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16120. This hitch has a 16,000 lb weight capacity for heavy duty towing, a two jaw locking system for maximum jaw to kingpin contact, and a fully articulating torsion head for easy hookups.

  • 5th Wheel Hitch Recommendation for Ford F150 w/ Aluminum Bed Compatible With Rotating Pin Box
  • I'd be happy to help with that. 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. If you wanted to install a 7-way trailer connector in the truck bed, you could do

  • What Does Curt A 16 Fixed Hitch Weigh
  • Fixed hitches are quite a bit lighter weight than slider hitches. The Curt A16 fixed hitch part # C16120 weighs 116 lbs. For comparison the slider version part # C16521 weighs 196 lbs so the weight savings is significant. Also fixed hitches have less moving parts so they are quieter and smoother overall as well.

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.

Both of these hitches were designed to fit the same industry standard fifth wheel rails as what you have. You may also be interested in the Curt A25 part # C16180 instead. This is the upgraded version of the Q25 which has a nicer jaw design that provides a more solid connection to the king pin. The first picture I attached shows the A25 jaws which overlap and the second

  • Difference Between Curt 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation Kits for a 2008 Ford F-450 Super Duty
  • There are actually 2 possible Curt 5th wheel installation kits that will fit your 2008 Ford F-450 Super Duty. The only difference between them is the finish. The Carbide finish on the installation kit you have reference, # C16448-204, is more of a matte (not shiny) finish. The other option is the Glossy finish, # C16448-104. As the name suggests it is shiny. Both of these kits are compatible with the Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # C16245. This hitch has the more matte finish so

  • 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 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation Kit for a 2013 Ford F-150 4x4 Crew Cab Short Bed

  • Do you have a suspension lift or body lift for your 2006 Ford F-250 Super Duty? If it's a suspension lift then that means the distance between your truck frame and body won't be any different and I recommend installing the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ford # C16448-204 and using the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16180. This is a stationary hitch with the 25K weight rating you're looking for. Please be sure you aren't exceeding the weight capacity of your truck. If

  • 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

  • Air Bag helper Springs for a 2007 Ford F-350 Dually with Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit
  • The issue with the Air Lift systems, custom 5th wheel brackets, and the 2007 Ford F-350 is that the upper brackets for the Air Lift systems for this truck bolt on in several places and the 5th wheel brackets block them. You can install an air bag set up though by using a Firestone kit. Use # F2400 for a 4-wheel drive model. The upper brackets for these kits use a large, single bolt that will go through that center hole in the sides of the 5th wheel brackets you have. If you want to
