Ask the Experts about this 5th Wheel Hitch
Do you have a question about this 5th Wheel Hitch?

• Is the Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch Compatible with the Lippert Rota-Flex Pin Box
  
• I spoke with my contact at Curt who said that the A20 5th Wheel Hitch # C16140 is compatible with the Trailair Rota-Flex 5th Wheel Pin Box without any additional components. He did say that they have heard of instances where the rubber pad on the Rota-Flex pops out of place which results in it prematurely wearing down the head unit of the A20 but since that problem is with the pin box you would have this same issue with any 5th wheel hitch. If you are replacing your pin box and this

• Grease Fitting Locations for Curt A20 Fifth Wheel Hitch
  
• 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.

• Trouble with Locking Handle Engaging on the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch
  
• I spoke to my contact at Curt about your Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16140 and they informed me that the locking handle issue is likely a result of improper lubrication. For starters, I would take some brake parts cleaner and spay down the jaws and the locking handle to ride any debris. Once you have let the jaws and handle mechanism dry then you can take some LubriMatic White Lithium Grease part # L11354 and work it onto these components while moving them back and forth to

• Why Would Curt A20 Fifth Wheel Hitch Chuck with Travel Trailer
  
• Hey Matt, that's frustrating to hear but my first question is what type of wedge are you using for the pin box and the A20? If it's a universal wedge that would be what I'd think the issue is. The custom fit wedge you'd need is the part # C16992. That should tighten up chucking quite a bit. Let me know what you have now for a wedge and we can go from there. Also if you see where the movement is that is causing the noise let me know.

• Will Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch Work with Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pins
  
• I do have an option for you but the Curt A-Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches like part # C16140 are only compatible with the first generation Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pins, not the second generation Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin because there was an issue with the wedge shearing off during testing. If you have the first generation then you can use the Sidewinder Wedge for Curt A Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # C16992 but if you have the second generation then you will

• Comparing The Curt A16 And Q20 Fifth Wheel Hitches
  
• With the Curt A16 # C16120 being a lower rated hitch than the Q20 # C16130 it's going to be a bit smaller. That being said, the A-Series does come with the wraparound jaws and a fully articulating torsion head to provide better cushioning from road shock and easier coupling than the Q-Series. The A16 is compatible with rotating pin boxes unlike the Q20 so you have a bit more versatility if you ever traded out your trailer. The A16 will also come with a limited lifetime warranty whereas

• Are Legs of Curt Q20 and A20 Fifth Wheel Hitches the Same
  
• The legs of the Curt Q20 and the A20 are different so they are not interchangeable. If you are wanting to upgrade to a Curt A20 hitch you would need to go with a new hitch with part # C16140.

• 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

• Loose Connection Between Curt A20 Hitch and Curt Base Rails
  
• Since you mentioned the cotter pins which are used to secure the feet inside the rails, that makes me that you are referring to the connection point between the rail and foot on one of the four corners of the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16140. If that is the case then you will want to inspect the hole on the foot, the hole inside the rail, and the pin that connects these together. If these holes have become misshapen then this could very well cause the loose connection that

• Will Curt A20 Legs Fit Curt Q20 Head Unit
  
• I'm sorry to hear your Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch # C16140 got ruined, though the Q20 Head Unit # C16530 won't fit on the A20 legs (either will the Q25 head unit) because they have different mounting spacing. Since it sounds like the A20 legs are still okay since you want to re-use them, what you can do is replace the A20 head unit: - Replacement Head Unit for Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16540 It even comes with the hardware needed to attach the head unit to the legs so you'd

• What Grease to Use for Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch
  
• You could use white lithium grease or we recommend using the LubriMatic Multi-Purpose Lithium Grease # L11316 for your Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16140. The Curt maintenance guide just says to use high-pressure wheel bearing grease as being the preferred option.

• 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

• Is Curt Q20 Head Compatible With Curt A20 Legs
  
• I checked with Curt for you, and the head unit of the Curt Q20 is not compatible with the legs of the Curt A20 as they mount differently. So what you would need instead is the head unit of the A20, which is the Replacement Head Unit for Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16540. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well if you'd like to take a look.

• Which is Better Curt Q20 or A20 Fifth Wheel Hitch
  
• The Curt A20 fifth wheel hitch part # C16140 is similar to the Q20 but has an upgraded head design so it's the better choice. 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.

• How to Adjust Curt A20 Hitch Head Height for Trailer that has Front Tires Showing Wear
  
• If you are talking about adjusting the height of your 5th wheel hitch like the Curt A20 # C16140 then you will simply need to move the hitch head to the appropriate adjustment holes (see attached picture). Loosen the nuts on the bolts holding the hitch head in place and then either put them in a higher or lower adjustment hole. Wear on your tires can be the result of a few different things. Your trailer not being level is definitely one of them. You can also adjust the height of your

• Comparing The Curt Q20 To The Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch
  
• The Curt A20 # C16140 and Curt Q20 # C16130 are very similar 5th wheel hitches with the A20 being the more recent addition. The major difference is the A20 has interlocking jaws to further secure your king pin as opposed to the Q20 jaw locking system that do not interlock. This interlocking design is intended to give you more king pin contact on all sides for less jarring and chucking. The A20 also has less zerk fittings to grease and only requires 1 pin to be removed so that you can

• Replacement Locking Latch for the Reese 16K 5th Wheel Hitch # RP30047

If you check around there's a small chance that you'll find a new old stock part, but if not a complete replacement hitch is your only option. For a complete replacement I recommend going with the Curt A20 # C16140 which will be quite the upgrade compared

• Can Curt Crosswing Fifth Wheel Hitch be Used with Pivoting Pin Box
  
• It's a bummer but you can't use a pivoting pin box with a fifth wheel hitch that only attaches to a gooseneck ball as the additional twisting torque that these types of pin boxes but on hitches requires four attachment points instead of just the center ball. Instead you'd need a set of standard fifth wheel rails installed in your truck like the Curt part # C93WR so that you can use the Crosswing that attaches to this rail style part # C92DR and the wedge # C85DR .

• According to the 2018 Ford Towing Guide the specs of your 2018 Ford F-150 can tow a 5th wheel trailer weighing up to 6,700 lbs which is pretty small when it comes to 5th wheel trailers. From what I'm seeing you have a 6-1/2' bed without a factory puck system as the max tow package looks to be for bumper pull applications.
