A20 Two-Piece Interlocking JawA20 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

A20 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).

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


  • Highest Capacity Fifth Wheel Hitch and Gooseneck Solution for 2006 Dodge Ram 3500
  • The problem is we don't have any gooseneck setups that have a 36k capacity at all, and the options that allow for both gooseneck and fifth wheel have considerably lower capacity than you'd need.

  • Will a Curt A25 5TH Wheel Hitch Fit The Pucks On a 2021 Ford F-450?
  • To install the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16180 on your 2021 Ford F-450 with the factory puck/prep system you will need the Adapter # C88KR. We do have the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16036 which will fit into your factory pucks without an adapter.

  • What is Needed to Turn Curt A25 Fixed Hitch Into Sliding Hitch
  • Hey Mike, The setup you have uses the standard Curt A25 # C16180 fixed hitch, and you'll actually need a different part, as Curt has updated the sliders on their hitches to be higher quality. So to turn your A25 fixed hitch into a slider hitch, all you need is the following: - Curt S25 Slider for A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # C43DR

  • Recommended 5th Wheel and Rails for a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Dually
  • Henry, it sounds like you're looking for something like the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16180 with the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC # C16418-204. This hitch has a 25k capacity, is made by Curt, and will work great with your toy hauler. Ideally I'd say you do no drilling to install the rails but for what you're looking for the best we can do is the semi-custom install kit which will require less drilling than a universal hitch but still some drilling.

  • How To Install a Curt A25 5TH Wheel Hitch In a 2024 Ram 2500 With Factory Prep/Puck System
  • You have a couple options for installing the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16180 in the bed of your 2024 Ram 2500 with the factory in bed hitch system. First we have the Adapter Rails # C29BR which fit into the pucks and give you the ISR mounting points. Do note this will raise the hitch 2" so you will likely need to lower the height of the hitch. The next option is replacing your ISR Base # C16907 with the Ram Base # C16021 so you can install the hitch directly into the factory

  • Lowest Profile 5th Wheel Hitch for 2017 Ford F-250 without OEM Prep Package
  • The lowest profile fifth wheel hitch option we offer for a 2017 Ford F-250 without OEM Prep Package is the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16180 (long bed) or Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # 16516 (short bed) which measures 13" and 15" respectively from the base to the top of the skid plate at the lowest setting. Then, you'd add about another 1" for the B&W Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit for Ford part # BWRVK2402. There would be no way to use the Reese Low-Profile

  • Will the Curt A25 Hitch Fit in Industry Standard Base Rails
  • As long as your Pullrite rail kit provides you with industry standard base rails to mount a 5th wheel hitch, the Curt A25 # C16180 will fit, since it's designed to fit in industry standard base rails. I've attached a photo of the dimensions for industry standard rails that you can compare yours to.

  • Does Curt A25 Fifth Wheel Hitch Ride in the Center of the Rails on a 2008 Ford F-250 or F-350?
  • Yes, the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16180 will sit in the center of the rails. If you take a look at the diagram I've added you can see where you would need to install the Curt Brackets and Base Rails # C16448-204 on your 2008 Ford F-250 or F-350 and where the center line of the hitch is in relation to the brackets.

  • Correct Curt A25 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD Dually with Prep Package
  • For your 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD Dually with the factory prep package, you are actually going to want to use the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package part # C16066, not the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16180 which is for above bed base rails that you don't have. The cost can be found on the product page using the link above. The Curt A25 is an excellent choice and one of my favorite 5th wheel hitches on the market. The reason for this

  • How to Select Hitch Height Setting for Curt A25 Fifth Wheel Hitch
  • Hey Mark, it really comes down to what's going to allow your trailer to sit level with at least 4-6 inches of bed rail to trailer overhang clearance. Since the A20 and the A25 are very similar I would assume you'd want to use the same set of mounting holes on the A25 as the old hitch as long as the trailer was being towed level. But you should verify after that point if your trailer is able to be towed level.

  • Correct Legs to Adapt Curt A30 Hitch With 2022 Ford F-350 W/ Prep Package

  • Comparing the Curt Q25 to the Curt A25 5th Wheel Hitch
  • The Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs # C16180 is the newer model of the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs # C16265. The A25 has an interlocking dual jaw for increased security. The A25 also has built in grease zerk fittings to make maintenance just a little easier. It also has a 1 pin head removal compared to the 2 pin option of the Q25. They are both nice 5th wheel hitches, but the A25 has those couple of really nice features as an upgrade.

  • Difference Between Curt A25 and Q25 5th Wheel Hitches
  • The difference between the Curt A25 part # C16180 and the Curt Q25 part # C16265 is the jaw system. I have attached a photo for your reference. The A25 is an upgraded version of the Q25 because of it's interlocking jaw. The A25 interlocking jaw results in full contact with the king pin on the fifth wheel which reduces the rattle and chucking you may experience with a looser king pin connection. Although both options are great fifth wheel hitches with 25,000 lbs of towing capacity, the A25

  • Comparing the Curt A25 and Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch
  • The main difference between the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16180 and the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16265 is the hitch head. The head on the A25 is far superior to the head on the Q25 because it has an interlocking jaw system that grips the kingpin tightly so very minimal movement is allowed, it offers a one pin head removal system. The overall feel of the head is just much smoother on the A-Series when compared to the Q-Series. I have attached a photo to

  • Difference Between The Curt Q25, Q24, and A25 For A 2022 Ford F-350 With OEM Prep Package
  • The difference in the Curt Q24, the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16265, and the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16180 is that the Curt Q24 is the only hitch out of the 3 hitches that is a sliding hitch. These hitches are seen mainly on trucks with a short bed. Reason being, is the clearance needed to make sharp turns is out of the question without impacting the cab of the vehicle due to its mounting location. The slider allows the hitch to slide back giving additional room

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2023 Ford F-450 Super Duty with OEM Puck System
  • Thanks for reaching out! The 5th wheel hitch I recommend for the OEM puck system on your 2023 Ford F-450 Super Duty is the Curt A25 # C16180 which connects to the pucks using the Adapter Rails # C88KR. I really like the A25 because it has dual interlocking jaws that wrap around the king pin and provide 360 degree contact, as well as a fully articulating torsion head.

  • Converting Gooseneck To Fifth Wheel In 2004 Dodge Ram 3500
  • The highest capacity fifth wheel hitches are made is 25K so you would need the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs # C16180. You can use your Reese rails as long as they are Industry Standard Rails (ISR). I will attach a photo to show you what the ISR looks like.
