Will Curt A25 Head Fit Curt E16 Base  

Published 02/09/2026

Question:

I currently have a CURT 16684 E16 5th Wheel Slider Hitch, 16,000 lbs. can I just switch the head to a CURT 16580 A25 5th Wheel Hitch Head Only?

Expert Reply:

Hey Mike! The Curt heads are interchangeable so you will be able to swap out the E16 head with the Replacement Head Unit for Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16580.

What kind of 5th wheel are you towing?

@MikeP thanks for the info. With a GVWR of 14,252 lbs, your Forest River is well within the capacity of the Curt A25 head, and it will work just fine on your existing E16 slider base.
