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).
R20 Slider
Most often used on trucks with 6' and 6-1/2' beds, this roller helps to eliminate clearance problems during slow-speed turns. When you are towing a fifth-wheel trailer, your hitch must be situated on the cab side of your truck's rear axle. However, at slow speeds you can use a roller to slide the fifth-wheel hitch (and the trailer) toward your truck's tailgate and past the rear axle, creating enough space between the cab of your truck and the trailer to permit less-restricted turning.
Non-Binding Design
The round-tube design of this slider allows for relatively uninhibited movement of your fifth-wheel hitch. Because your hitch can glide smoothly and easily along the rods, there is less chance of binding.
With straight, flat contact points, as found with square-tube sliders, tension can build between the slider and the hitch when your truck and trailer are somewhat out of line or are on uneven ground. As a result, it can be difficult to properly activate the slider when your truck and trailer are not in a straight line.
With a round-tube slider, there is more give between the contacting surfaces, allowing better mobility of the hitch system. Fewer corners means less tension buildup. Activating a round-tube slider is easier, and operation as a whole is smoother.

Great Hitch, very happy with this unit. Have pulled the 18K lb fifth wheel over 25K miles (Florida to Idaho, back to Florida and now Alaska). We have covered many rough roads and challenging situations, without problems and have never had a bad couple.
The hitch indicator on front of head gives a clear indication of latching condition, and the latch handle has a locking pin for added protection. This pin is the only issue I have had, which can be trapped under the slide plate if your truck is at an angle (beyond about 35 deg) from the rv. I make it a point to pull this pin prior to backing if I am the least bit concerned.
This is a great hitch! Excellent quality and it's made here in America.
by: Patrick06/19/2023
This is very well built and operates great. Once I got the first rail positioned and mounted, everything else was very easy. The R20 slider came in a single box and was very heavy. The packaging is not suitable for the weight. As others have also reported, the package was completely demolished when it arrived. Thankfully , all the part’s made it okay and nothing was damaged. I love the product.
by: Chris07/14/2022
Like everyone writes. Packaging is light for such 5th wheel heavy metal hitches. just some scuffs but everything was there (incl hardware). R20 roller box fell apart. A20 hitch head box was intact and well packed with styrofoam. Installed same day. Can't wait to camp. I've upgraded from Husky 15k slider to Curt A20 w/ R20 slider. I kept my original Reese rails for my Ram3500 puck system. Everything fit together. Ordering was easy over the phone. Delivery was quick. All nice things to say. Thanks you all around.
by: James08/15/2021
The A20 hitch and R20 slider are outstanding products.
One issue I had was the differing instructions on bolting the two together.
The A20 instructions are for bolting to stationary’leg’ base. The R20 slider instructions are what I used and worked very well.

2021 GMC Sierra 4500
Installed on a 2021 GMC Denali DRW. The installation instructions and video need to be updated they are somewhat miss leading as to the difficulties of install. The driver side front rail nuts are almost Impossible to install because of gas tank. They will be impossible to torque without dropping the gas tank. Your will also have to remove the dual rear wheels to torque the frame plates Took almost 5 hours to install. Other than that have yet to use hitch.

Fit the rails already in the truck perfect. Easy to assemble. Did 95% of it before I even looked at the instructions. I believe it will work well when I finally get the chance to use it.
by: Carey 05/13/2024
Great product and easy to follow instru ctions.
by: James G.07/06/2017
The R20 Roller and the A20 Slider were both pretty easy to install. Except for the weight (Those Things Are HEAVY) It was a straight forward install. What I like is the Quality of the Curt Products. They are a very high Quality product in my opinion. I plan on the wife and I and our Two Main Coons are planning a cross country trip. So I am very excited to get out on the open Road and see where life takes us. What WAS a bear to install was the Rail Kit. It required lots of trips out from under

Installed these bed rails on my 2020 Silverado Duramax 2500HD. Heavy duty rails and of good quality. Install time was around 3 hours. Definitely remove spare tire and heat shield. I did find it very difficult to torque 2 of the nuts on the driver's side front rail. Everything else no problem. I did spray some undercoating on the frame rail ends and nuts. Just did that for extra protection and it will make it easier to see if there is any movement when towing.
by: Patrick 11/22/2023
First time using etrailer. Service was great and I could track my items as they were packaged, shipped,and delivered. I have hauled for 1 season with the new hitch and have zero complaints with the operation of it. I would recommend watching a video on how to put it together as parts of the installation instructions were vague.
by: Edwin 12/07/2023
Perfect fit, did not have to drill any holes in frame to mount it, has held up great so far, as a professional installer it went so much better than a hitch and rail kit that fits multiple vehicles.
by: Shawn06/09/2022
I installed myself on my 21 GMC Sierra 2500HD, Denali, Duramax. Took me around 3hrs to do with basic shop tools. Over all the unit itself is very nice. Heavy well treated metal, bolts are all good quality. Not one single alignment issue. Sucks that the truck manufacturers can’t make some sort of pre setup locations as it was some tight finger tip spots. But that’s not to the fault of This item at all.

Great, no issue with the unit, works as it should! Installation when I installed was easy.
by: Radcliffe10/02/2019
The product arrived 1 day earlier than promised. The instructions were decent, they could of been more inclusive of the different setups, the hitch and sliders didn’t reference how to interface with the Ram puck base. The rubber gaskets for the slider base didn’t fit with the Ram base due to their thickness. You need a 100lbs torque wrench(I rented one from Orielys). All the parts were present. The bad may not of been etrailers fault, but the boxes arrived like they were dropped out of an airplane. Amazingly, nothing was damaged.
by: Leroy10/18/2020
I ordered this to install in my 2020 Silverado 2500. The install was easy and took close to 2 hours. Have not pulled my fifth wheel yet so really no idea how this will hold up. Everything was in the box nothing missing. Shipping took 2 days to get to my house. Very happy so far with everything I have ordered fro you.
by: Michael 12/14/2021
I have only installed the hitch and tried it out in my driveway. Have not had he opportunity to use it on the road and see how much it improves my maneuverability. But Curt hitches are very well built units. I only upgraded from my previous one to go to the slider hitch and this hitch appears to work just as well and also appears that the slider is going to give me the added maneuverability that I was looking for. Heavy and not quite as easy to put in and take out of my truck is my only complaint so far.
by: Nick 02/03/2024
This went in perfectly, very happy with the installation.

Installed this on my old truck so now it being installed on my 2023 GMC Denali. Show not in stock and not available until Dec. Needed it quickly so I called Curt and they had them in stock. Made my order through Etrailer because I knew they were reliable. Made the purchase and received it in 5 days including the weekend. Could have purchased it elsewhere, but knew they would get it for me quickly. Thank you Robert S and everyone else that worked on the order.

Do you have a question about this Fifth Wheel Hitch?
- Does Reese Have Adapter Rails Available for 5th Wheel Hitch on 2016 GMC 3500 with Factory Rail Kit
- I have a solution for you, however Reese does not currently offer adapter rails for the factory installed rail kit on your 2016 GMC Sierra 3500. I did speak with our contact at Reese and he informed me that they are working on this but there is no release date as of early 2017.
With the products on the market now, I recommend the Curt 20K Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16541 along with the installation rails, part # C16023. This is a sliding 5th wheel hitch that is custom fit for your
view full answer... - Recommended Curt A20 Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch in 2017 GMC 3500 with 6-1/2 Foot Bed
- I spoke with my contact at Curt and he said the lowest height possible of the Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch w/ R20 Slider, # C16541, when used as a slider is 17-1/2 inches. The hitch will not be able to slide properly if you tried to use it in the lowest position which is intended for using this hitch without the slider in a long bed truck. The adjustment increments are 2 inches so you will still have 3 height options. This is a very nice hitch and a good option for your 2017 GMC Sierra 3500

- If the jaws on the Curt A Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch like # C16541 are out of sync and are not gripping the king pin properly you can follow the procedure shown on page 4 of the linked instructions. The section of the instructions that cover this also appear in the linked image taken from that page.
The jaw system has a fixed half and a moving half and the procedure described corrects the position of the moving section of the jaw. This out-of-sync condition is caused by the locking

- Reese and Curt both make quality 5th wheel hitches. At a given price point a Curt 5th wheel can tend to include more features than a similar Reese or Pro Series. For example, Curt A20 Sliding 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16541 features a 360-degree pivoting cushioned head. The Curt will make hitching easier (thanks to the 360-pivoting head) and deliver a smoother ride (thanks to the cushioning). The Curt A20 also has a smaller price tag AND a 10-year warranty, as compared to the Reese hitch's
view full answer... - Does Curt A20 Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch Work with Reese Underbed Rail Adapter in Ford Truck
- You can use your Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R20 Slider # C16541 in the puck system of your Ford truck; the only thing that you'll need is the Reese Elite Series Underbed Rail Adapter # RP30156.
This adapter will mount directly in the pucks of your Ford truck and will give you standard base rails which your Curt fifth wheel hitch mount on.
I have added a link to a video review of this adapter for you to take a look at.

- Thanks for the picture of the hardware you received with your hitch and rail kit. From looking at them I can tell that the previous customer left the brackets that hold the rails attached to the truck frame and basically just unbolted the rails from them and gave you the hardware that was used there. But since your rails are stamped CMI we know that they are Curt and we can help!
So what you need is a bracket kit to attach the rails to your 2003 Chevy Silverado frame. The best solution
view full answer... - How to Determining 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Height for 2004 Chevy Silverado and 2017 Dutchmen Trailer
- When determining the correct height for your fifth wheel hitch, you will just need to take a couple measurements on both the trailer and your Chevy Silverado 2500.
Starting with the Dutchmen Denali Trailer parked and jacked up so that it is level, you will want to measure from the underside of the pin box to the ground. Then, with your truck also parked on level ground, measure from the ground to the truck bed floor. You will simply subtract the truck measurement from the trailer measurement

- I checked with Curt and the A20 hitch part # C16541 that you referenced does have a 5,000 lb vertical load limit like you said you needed. This would work well with the Rail adapter part # C16022 to install in the bed of your 2016 Ram 3500 short bed.
This hitch does have a somewhat taller height adjustment, but without knowing the bed height of your truck and the height from the pin box mounting plate down the ground of your trailer when level it is hard to say if this would be the correct
view full answer... - Recommended Fifth Wheel Hitch And Installation Kit For 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Short Bed
- We have a few options that may work for your 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. Since you said you have a short bed you will need a slider hitch at the least, and you said you have bed rails that you do not wish to take off. This would then require a hitch that has more height so you have clearance for the rails.
I was not able to find the number 30031 you asked about. You would need to verify the hitch and what its capabilities were to safely use it for your camper. I will make some recommendations

- Stationary fifth wheel hitches and slider hitches are both designed to fit the same industry standard fifth wheel rail kits. If you have a Reese 16k fifth wheel hitch installed in your truck bed now the Curt Slider Hitch part # C16541 would also fit those exact same rails without modification.

The only hitch I would recommend over the Curt would be the Demco Hijacker AutoSlide part # DM8550034. What's great about this hitch is that it will automatically slide when you make turns so that you can avoid the hassle of having to operate a manual slider

But for the Curt A20 to work you will need the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider - Ram Towing Prep Package # C16022 which is specially designed to attach to the receivers in your Ram factory-installed, underbed 5th-wheel towing prep package.
