Secure, Two-Piece Jaw

Q20 Two-Piece Jaw

Unlike slide-bar models, the rounded, 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).


Q20 Color Indicator System

360-Degree Pivot

Curt's unique spherical axial bearing provides a durable pivot point that allows easy, 360-degree movement of the hitch head. This ball joint is designed for smooth, quiet operation with less clunking and chucking.

This product has worked perfect for me using with my 2012 Wildcat Sterling 5th wheel. Customer service is the best at etrailer.com. Just love doing business with them!



by: Dave E02/22/2017

I bought a new trailer recently that weighs 16k and I just didn't feel secure using my Reese pro series 16k to Haul with. So I started looking at various hitches. I've had 3 other fifth wheel hitches in the past. All of them have been 15 and 16k models. What I never liked was the latching system. I've even had a trailer come out of the hitch due to a poor latching hook up. There wasn't an good way to lock the hitch. Some of it was my fault and some was a poor design. When I saw the Curt Q20 had a latch on the handle and also was color coded I was hooked. This hitch satisfied my want list. It arrived 4 days after I ordered it and like other comments I've read it was full of heavy duty staples. It was double packaged. There had to be over 50 staples. It was defiantly packaged securely. After dimantaling the packing I finally got to the hitch. There were a few scratches on the hitch from all the staples but a bit of black touch up paint took care of that. After all the hitch is going to be used and get scrached by me anyways. Four bolts and it was together. It fit perfictly it my existing rails. By the way it's heavier than my other hitches. I wound be apprehensive to pull my new trailer. If your looking for a great hitch at a great price you can't go wrong.



by: Richard P08/31/2016

Unlike other reviews...I will say that my packages all arrived in perfect condition. (Boxes were all intact). Assembling the Q20 is a breeze and by all appearances this hitch certainly seems to be more than adequate for my needs. I haven't had a chance to actually use it yet...but from what I can tell, I certainly don't expect any issues. I like the way the hitch latches and unlatches, and that you can add a lock to prevent someone from opening the jaws while you are parked somewhere. I think the only thing I'll add is a lock in place of one of the pins...just to make it difficult for someone to remove and steal the hitch.



by: Craig A.09/04/2017

I have just used the hitch on some very short pulls, nothing long yet. However, I can tell it is much quitter and does not seem to chuck as much as my old hitch. Appears to be very well built. Heavier than the old 15K hitch I had before. The only down I can find right now is that there is not a good place to hook up the emergency stop brake cable. I was able to rig up a connector that works just fine.



by: Richard03/16/2024

Arrived in the time identified, and all materials included. Box was damaged during shipping but packaged well enough that no damage occurred. Installed and got me out a jam caused by a height issue with original hitch installed by dealer causing the trailer to ride nose high. Leveled out and still maintaining the proper clearance between the bed and trailer.



by: Garry12/30/2023

Is difficult to get the jaws to lock- sometimes have to manually push one jaw to get it to spring closed. Any idea why?



by: Paul01/15/2022

Couldn't give it anymore stars after I took the hitch out of the box and it was all scratched up. Always good when you spend xxx on a hitch to receive it in that condition



by: Richard01/13/2018

Got my 5th wheel double boxed and in good shape. Took 2hrs to install outboard base rail kit. Everything finger tight. This Morning it took me 2hrs to drill the 4 center holes, I put 2 in the center on each rail, remove spare tire and torque everything down and replace spare tire.
The outboard base rail kit was a snap to install and I love the Curt Q20 with no floppy 5th wheel plate.



by: Rich F.06/03/2017

Great hitch. Used several times. Love the way it comes apart into two pieces for ease of carrying when taking it out and putting it back in. Locks the trailer in tight too. Gets my trailer to were I want to with no problems.



by: Glenn11/27/2017

I placed my order on Tuesday evening and it arrived early Friday. Very fast shipping!!! The hitch installed easily using etrailer custom rail kit. Hitch itself seems way to use. Can't wait to pickup new camper next week! Thank you etrailer for such awesome service!!!



by: Daniel 01/02/2024

Easy installation and I loved the fact everything you needed came in a package deal!



by: Craig -07/25/2023

This product was easy to assembly. Very clear instructions and it took less then an hour to install. I was impressed with the packaging. The cardboard box the rails came in had steel inserts in the corners to keep the rails from breaking through. The box also had 1/8" plywood in the top and bottom for rigidity. It fit perfectly in the puck system in my Silverado. By purchasing it from "Etrailer" and installing it myself, I saved $1,600 by not having the RV Dealership install one for me. Only tools I needed was a socket wrench and a torque wrench.



by: Robert 08/09/2023

Excellent customer service and great pricing from e-trailer. The Q20 is an extremely heavy duty and well made hitch.



by: Justin C.09/01/2017

The product shipped and was received in a timely manner. The installation went very good, took me about 3 1/2 hours to install. Instructions were easy to understand. The installation kit came with many extra parts so I wasn't worried about missing parts. Items are very heavy so be careful lifting. The drillbit needed for the holes is 17/32 which is an uncommon bit to find at a hardware store. It would've been nice if the drillbit was included in the kit. I did find one at a local hardware store for $6.35. By the time I was done drilling my last hole the drillbit is now useless, burned the tip out and last hole was hard to finish. When I first started my measurements I didn't realize the truck model at the top of the page and initially measured for a GMC, but I own a tundra. I was thankful my wife came in and was talking with me and disrupted the job. After she left is when I realized I measured for the wrong vehicle. Double check everything before drilling. Very good product and would definitely recommend it to another person.



by: Bill03/10/2018

Bought the Q20 Curt hitch to replace the 16,000# Curt hitch we used for our previous 5th wheel trailer. The new trailer is heavier, so I wanted to upgrade. I like the Curt products and wanted to continue with them. The dual locking jaws were the real selling point.
etrailer and Lisa D are a joy to work with. We had a problem with another product and Lisa handled it perfectly and professionally.



by: Ralph10/16/2018

Just got back from a two-week road trip out west, the new trailer hitch performed without a snag! Easy docking and undocking, very nice to have a nice smooth ride. We are very impressed and thankful for an excellent product.
The package in which the hitch arrived was in pretty rough shape, but all the pieces arrived. There is one place on the deck itself where it took some scuffing of the paint from whatever it was banged on during shipping. We are going to have to touch up that place to keep it from rusting in the elements.
All in all, this was a great buy. Thanks



by: David10/10/2023

I have not received my hitch yet ups told me it was damaged and would let you..I called you yesterday to have you reship it I will give you a review when I get my hitch



by: David 11/07/2019

Arrived on time with everything as promised. I have purchased multiple times from etrailer with outstanding results every time

This 5th wheel hitch was just 4 bolts to put together. Easy - peasy

This is a replacement hitch for a previous Curt Q20. I am very happy with the product and the service provided by etrailer. A great product at a fair price.



by: Jim L.07/24/2016

I had a 16K Husky 5th wheel hitch for 12 years. It came with the RV purchase. We upgraded to a larger 5th wheel in 2015. I pulled it with the K16 but due to wear on the hitch I didn't feel comfortable.
I searched the internet and came upon etrailer.com. I began researching different hitches. I settled on Curt due to it's reviews.
I placed an order with etrailer and the next day I got an email with all of the shipping and tracking information.
I had the hitch in 5 days. I was very disappointed when it was delivered. The shipping box was very light duty and had been reinforced with pieces of cardboard damaged. There was also a lot of heavy duty staples holding it together.
I took photos upon delivery. After I opened the box I found the hitch was damaged. I immediately sent an email with photos of the box as received and the damage to the hitch.
I called customer service and talked to Gina and Janice and went over the details.
I was given instructions for returning the hitch and was emailed necessary papers to ship it back at no charge. I dropped it off at UPS the same day and received notification in 3 days that it was received.
I was also advised a new hitch would be sent out and I received it in 3 days.
At first I was very upset but after. That quickly changed after talking to the staff and receiving the new hitch within 5 days.
These type things sometimes happen. I give the staff at etrailer.com an applause for their quick handling of this issue.

I have since made another purchase. Give them a try.



by: Henry 12/29/2023

The product is sturdy and fits.



by: Fernando02/10/2023

My 5th wheel attachment got here the day etrailer said my Oder will arrive !!!, Thank you etrailer can’t wait until I Oder from etrailer again , Have a great day etrailer !!.



by: Kevin G 06/05/2017

I ordered the hitch on a Sunday evening of a holiday weekend, I received the shipping information on Monday of the holiday and was able to track it all to the way to my door, couldn't ask for better order tracking.
The hitch was double boxed with a lot of staples and arrived in excellent shape a package that heavy is going to have some external wear IMO from all the handling. The hitch came delivered in 3 piece which allowed for easy moving into the bed of the truck. The hitch has very nice and hopefully durable finish . I have yet to tow with it but like the indicator colors and the positive locking system.

  • Recommended Non-Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for 2012 Ram 3500 with Ramboxes
  • For your 2012 Ram 3500 with Ramboxes, since you don't need a sliding hitch I recommend using the Curt Q20 # C16130 and base rails # C16301-200. This hitch has a 20,000-lbs capacity and the base rail kit is a custom installation for your Ram 3500, so it will limit any drilling into the frame that might otherwise be required on a universal base rail kit. The Q series hitches are a nice value option that provide you with a fully pivoting, 360 degree movement, hitch head to help give you a

  • Recommended Fifth Wheel Hitch and Air Helper Springs for 2012 Ford F250 Diesel
  • Let's begin with the air helper springs. Firestone offers the Ride Rite Air Helper Spring system, part # F2597. This system is compatible with Diesel engine equipped trucks and will not interfere with fifth wheel frame brackets. If you'd like to be able to adjust the air pressure in the springs with an onboard compressor without needing to leave the cab, you might be interested in the Firestone Level Command, part # F2097. I've linked you to install videos for both the springs and the compressor

In order to access the grease fitting inside the head you will need to have the locking jaws closed. It does not matter what position the jaws are in when greasing the two side grease fittings.

  • Installing Fifth Wheel Hitch in 2014 Ford F350 Dually w/ Factory 5th Wheel/Gooseneck towing Prep Pkg
  • Since you have the pucks pre-installed, you won't need the install kit or anything else. You would simply remove the covers over the pucks in your truck bed and drop in an M5 Series fifth wheel hitch like the # RP30921 for an 20K capacity. B&W also offers the Companion, part # BWRVK3300 which has a 20K capacity that would also drop right into the pucks installed in your truck bed. An adapter like the # RP30156 would allow you to use a regular fifth wheel hitch designed for use with industry

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500
  • I would be happy to help you. There are two big differences in options for towing a 5th wheel trailer with your 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500. The first and easiest would be if you have the prep package. What that is is a from the factory option that puts four holes in the bed of your Silverado for mounting a 5th wheel hitch (See picture below). This is a factory option only and there is no way to add this with aftermarket parts. With this system on your truck you have two options to install

  • 5th Wheel Hitch Install Kit Rail Location for 2017 Ford F-250
  • The actual position of the bed rails can vary according to which manufacturer's frame bracket you're using. Since most folks tend to order the brackets from the same manufacturer as the hitch, I'll assume unless told differently that you're using the Curt # C16428 frame brackets with your Curt bed rails (you always want to ensure that the frame brackets and bed rails are from the same manufacturer so the capacity of the installation isn't compromised). The rails for this kit mount so

  • Solution for Curt Q20 Fifth Wheel Hitch with Loud Clunking from Jaws
  • Since the jaws of your Q20 can't be adjusted or replaced your best solution is going to be a new hitch like with the Curt A20 part # C16140 which is the newer version of what you have now which has a much tighter jaw design that will be quieter and last longer. Instead of the two jaw pieces coming together and just touching each other in the middle the A20 jaw has two pieces that lock together.

  • The Curt Q20 fifth wheel hitch part # C16130 can easily fit your 2020 Ram 2500 that does not have the OEM rail kit. To install this hitch in your truck you would want the rail kit part # C16427-204 though as the rail kit you mentioned does not fit your truck. I would recommend you go with the A20 hitch part # C16140 though instead. This is the updates version of the Q20 with an improved jaw design that is overall smoother and quieter.

I also recommend the Curt Custom installation kit, part # C16427-204. This kit reduces the installation time in half versus universal installation kits. If you need a 7-way connector for the bed of your truck I recommend part # 41157.

  • 20k Fifth Wheel Hitch Similar to Curt Q20 that is Rated for Turning Point Pin Box
  • The Curt Q series fifth wheel hitches are not rated for use with the rotating pin boxes like the Turning Point or Sidewinders. The heads of the hitches just can't handle the stress and end up damaging it and also shearing off the wedge of the pin box. For a similar hitch that can be used the Reese M5 part # RP30928 would work great.

Otherwise you would have to go with a slider hitch like part # C16541. You will need to remove the pin box of the trailer and replace it with a Sidewinder pin box. Sidewinders are pin box specific so you will first need to know what pin box you have now in order to pick out the correct one. There should be a sticker or a stamping on the OEM
