Question:
What’s the difference in the Curt A30 and the Powerride 30k?
asked by: Brian
Expert Reply:
The main difference between the Curt A30 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16070 and Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C36WR for your 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Long Bed is the Wear Plates # C52WR. These wear plates for the PowerRide remove the need for a Lube Plate # C16722 on the pin box. The handles themselves have different designs but do operate in the same way by moving front to back to actuate the locking jaws on the hitch.
Both these 5th wheel hitches are designed to fit the factory prep/puck system on your Silverado. They are rated for up to 30,000lbs and a tongue weight up to 7,500lbs.
