Secure, Interlocking Two-Piece Jaw

A20 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).


S20 Slider

Most often used on trucks with 6' and 6-1/2' beds, this slider 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 slider 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.

  • Best Adapter to Convert Curt EZr Gooseneck to Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for 2019 GMC Sierra 2500
    Let's start with the adapter you need for the Curt EZr Double Lock Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # C611-624 in your 2019 GMC Sierra 2500 short bed, which is the Curt X5 5th-Wheel Base Rail Adapter Plate for EZr Double Lock Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # C16220. This adapter will fit into the EZr hitch and give you above-bed fifth wheel rails for a number of compatible 5th wheel hitches. Among those that will work, the best sliding 5th wheel hitch for your 13,500 lb fifth wheel is the Curt...

  • Can Curt 5th Wheel Hitch be Used with Demco Rail Adapter and 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 OEM Rail Kit
    Yes the Demco adapter part # DM6333 does fit your 2020 Chevy Silverado with an OEM rail kit and would work great with either the Curt hitch # C23DR or # C55DR that you referenced.

  • Is Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch Needed For 2021 Ram 2500 6-1/2 Foot Bed & Puck System
    Hi Nic, Generally yes, for a truck bed under 8 feet long like on your 2021 Ram 2500 you do need a sliding 5th wheel hitch. That said, there are 5th wheel trailers that have a tapered nose designed to allow the use of fixed 5th wheel hitches as they won't contact the cab on right turns, so if that's the type of trailer you have, then a sliding hitch isn't needed. With that in mind, the hitch I love for your 2021 Ram 2500 with the puck system is the Curt A20 due to its ease of use and...

  • Curt A20 Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch or Convert-A-Ball Adapter For Height
    Hi Tony; that's a good question and unequivocally the better option is the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider # C55DR. This will not only give you extra height, but won't void the warranty on your trailer frame like the Convert-A-Ball adapter does, gives you better turning clearance, and is just a more secure overall set up than what is essentially two different adapters. The # C55DR is also just a really good hitch overall with a superb interlocking jaw system for a tight...

  • Will the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC Work w/ a Curt A20 Slider?
    Hey Darren, that's quite the gift. The Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package item # DM6333 will fit any 5th wheel hitch that attaches to industry standard rails, including the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider item # C55DR. The only exception to this is the B&W Patriot Slider item # BWRVK3270 because it sits too low and hits the adapter when sliding. Please note that the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter item # DM6333 only fits the GMC puck...

  • How Can I Get My Pin Box Higher and My 5th Wheel Hitch Lower so I Can Have Level Towing?
    Hello Mike, Let’s get you level so your towing experience can be much more enjoyable. Since you have the Curt A20 slider, it’s important to note that it should not be used in combination with the Reese Revolution. You want either a sliding hitch or a rotating pin box, not both, as combining them can create unsafe towing conditions. You're on the right track with the Curt Flex Air 5th Wheel Pin Box - Lippert 1621 - 18,000 lbs # LC328492. Replacing your Revolution with the Curt will likely...

  • Comparing the Curt A20 and B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitches Jaw Systems
    Hey Heath, thanks for reaching out! The Curt A20 # C55DR and the B&W Companion # BWRVK3670 you're looking at are both excellent 5th wheel hitches, but I have to go with the Companion in this case simple because it is more robust and has a better build quality. It's true that the Companion uses dual jaws, but those guys are 1" thick jaws so they will still hold the king pin nice and securely. The Curt has the interlocking jaws (which I really like) but it just doesn't have the same quality. Please...

  • Options For Installing 5th Wheel Hitch In 2019 Ram 3500 without OEM Puck System
    They do not make an aftermarket puck system kit for your 2019 Ram 3500, so you have a few options to get a 5th wheel hitch installed. The standard way is installing above bed rails # C16430-204 to use a sliding 5th wheel hitch # C55DR if you have a 6-1/2' bed, or a fixed 5th wheel hitch # C16140 if you have an 8' bed. If having the permanently installed above bed rails is a buzz kill for you, then another option is installing the B&W Turnoverball # BWGNRK1320-5W will allow you to install...

  • 5th Wheel Rails Needed to Use a Curt Sliding Hitch on a 2019 Ford F-250 Short Bed
    The exact part that you need to use your Curt sliding 5th wheel hitch, like part # C55DR, in the short bed of your 2019 Ford F-250 depends on if you have the OEM prep package or not. If you do have the OEM prep package then you simply need the Elite Series Underbed Rail Adapter # RP30156 which drops into your puck system. If you don't have the OEM prep package you need a base rail kit like part # RP50074-58 which doesn't require drilling for the install. Both of these options give you...

  • Availability of Aftermarket Puck System for 2023 GMC Sierra 2500
    At this time, the Curt # C16429-204 above bed rails are the only confirmed fit for the 2023 GMC Sierra 2500. This would allow you to use a 5th wheel hitch like the # C55DR if you have a short bed or # C16140 for a long bed. For an underbed system, it may be possible to use the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1020. However, B&W only has reports of some customers and dealers successfully installing the hitch so we cannot guarantee it will fit. This would allow...

  • Can A Curt A20 Be Used In Both Long And Short Bed Trucks With OEM Ford Puck System?
    This is basically just the way our fit guide is set up. We will always recommend a fixed hitch (non slider) like the Curt A20 # C16140 for trucks with an 8' bed. We recommend a sliding hitch like the Curt A20 slider # C55DR for the 6-3/4' bed like yours. The Ford puck system will be identical for long bed and short bed models. We just recommend the slider for short bed, and fixed hitch for long bed. We recommend sliders for short bed to gain additional clearance on tight turns. In many...

You would want to use a hitch with a slider base like the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider # C55DR.

  • Lighter Weight Slider Fifth Wheel Hitch Solution for 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 Short Bed
    Hey Douglas, the Curt A20 with slider part # C55DR weighs 211 ls and the GM adapter part # C88KR weighs 88 lb. The B and W Companion Slider part # BWRVK3775 weighs 250 lbs so it weighs a little less in total. The head of this comes off pretty easy too to save weight by making a couple trips to split up the weight. The head weighs 70 lbs. Based on this it would be the easier to install and remove solution.

  • Tips for Choosing the Best Truck to Tow a 5th Wheel Trailer
    Starting with the truck series itself, I would go with a 3/4 ton or 1 ton. Ultimately a 1-ton would be better. Between gas and diesel I would choose a diesel if it were me. They are capable of more power and torque than gas motors. The cab style does not matter all that much but the bed size does. You will want to avoid a step side bed and a Dodge model that has a Rambox feature because they cannot have a 5th wheel hitch installed. Long beds are the way to go. A short bed can cause issues...
