Question:
Is this hitch comparable with the lipert turning point pinbox? If so will the wedge that comes with the turning point fit this hitch properly or is there an alternative wedge available?

Expert Reply:
I would not recommend using Curt E16 hitch # C16515-16021 with a Lippert Turning Point pin box. The slide-bar jaw design of the hitch is not really ideal for the forces involved with this type of pin box. Instead I recommend the A16 # C16520-16021. It will provide a more safe and secure jaw and cushioned head so it is a fantastic upgrade.
In either case the universal wedge included with the Turning Point pin box won't provide the best fit. I recommend using custom wedge # RP31016 with the A16. Even though it is not a confirmed fit for the Turning Point I am confident it will fit.
