Secure, Interlocking Two-Piece 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.
3-Point Indicator System
Get peace of mind with Curt's color-coded lock indicator. Just look at the indicator on the rear of the hitch to determine whether the jaw is in the correct position to uncouple (red), couple (yellow) or tow (green).
Curt rebranded this fifth-wheel trailer hitch by changing its name from Q16 to A16 in 2016. All features and specifications remained the same.

It only took me 75 minutes from unpacking the boxes, to having this unit pulling my 23 foot Forest River 5th wheel with my Nissan Titan XD.
The Etrailer folks were very helpful and bent over backwards to meet my deadline. I'm proud to highly recommend them.

I’m really happy with this purchase, this fifth wheel fit
100 % in y Nissan Titan XD, the installation was a breeze.
You nail it guys. I Absolutely recommend this product because is really sturdy and meets all safety requirements.
by: Monty 09/16/2020
The hitch is far superior to anything else I’ve used. I have pulled my 5th wheel once with the new hitch down 20 miles of gravel roads. It was very quiet and seemed a very solid attachment. No chucking whatsoever.

The Curt A16 5th wheel w/ R16 slider is a great looking hitch. I received the hitch on May 11, 2023, replacing an older Reese 15K hitch with a slider lock bar. It was easy to finish the assembly and install. I immediately took my fifth wheel out, using the new hitch with the dual jaw locking system. The ride was amazing. The RV, which weighs approximately 10,000 pounds, loaded, did not buck or rattle, and responded perfectly to the turns, acceleration and deceleration with no issue. It was if there was nothing behind me.
The only issue with the Curt A16 is the height. At its lowest setting, the nose of the trailer was up too high. However, by raising the tongue of the RV to its highest setting, I was able to remedy most of that issue. I am looking forward to my trips this year with the new hitch!
by: Paul04/25/2024
So far it works great. Only pulled in a short distance and backed it up into my driveway. Make sure you have help lifting this. Very Very heavy. Directions were average but got the job done. Love the extra turning radius on my short bed F250. Make sure all the parts are there. The handle to release the king pin off the hitch was not in the packaging. The box that the hitch and slide came in were all in tacked and looked good. Emailed etrailer and within a few hours they sent were processing the order for the handle. Arrived in 2 days. That's great customer service.

I purchased both the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 16,000 lbs - C16120, and Reese Pull Pin Lock Plates for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - Qty 4 - RP58093 for my F350 SD 4X4 Crew Cab Long Bed. I'm pulling a 30' Retro 5th. Wheel and at times I pull my tandem axle UTV Trailer (Double Trailers) . I already had the rails installed in my truck, this fit right in and I used the new Pins and Lock Plates for securing to truck. I have pulled all over from South Dakota and the Northwest. The Hitch has performed Flawlessly. No bucking, nor clunking. Very quiet and smooth ride. I would recommend this set up to anyone for convenience of Hook up and Disconnect, Excellent towing, quiet, and the security of the lock pins. I use Disc locks to prevent access for bolt cutters.
by: Kevin L 09/14/2016
First off I just got done installing the hitch and I hooked on my 35ft fith wheel trailer and went for a ride with windows down sun roof open and not a single rattle , clank , or noise from the bed of the truck with this hitch . It was easy to assemble but I did have one spot where the paint got chipped on the slider during shipping so I just touched it up . Very satisfied with hitch it latches automatically when you back in to it and the slider part works like it should .
by: Gilberto03/27/2024
Looks like a received a returned hitch. All my hardware is missing. And still waiting on one box. The sliding rails. Starting off to a bad start.
by: Chad Sanders02/16/2017
I was fully expecting a hitch in excess of 100 pounds to show up in a destroyed box. This did not. They had taken the Time and effort to cover the box with an additional layer of cardboard and it must have had a million staples in it. It was almost comical, you will need a crowbar or large screwdriver to get it open. However, when I did finally get the package open I found a perfectly un scratched hitch with no missing parts. I have not pulled with the hitch yet but , it does look like it is going to perform great. I'm using this in a 2006 ram 2500 4x4 short bed pulling a 2015 forest river Salem and it allows 91 degrees of turning due to the clipped corners on the front cap of the trailer. I will be curious to see how long the rubber isolators last before needing replaced and if they are readily available. Also the curt sticker on the hitch was peeling off when I took it out of the box, would be nice to get that replaced.
by: Kevin06/06/2022
Upgraded from TT to fifth wheel. Once I learned the basic operation I have had mo problems with this hitch. Rides a little high because of adapter for factory puck adaptor but still fits my tonneau cover which I also bought from etrailer.
by: Ron C05/15/2017
The Curt system is really high quality. No issues at all putting the system in. One thing I do like is the position of the plate handle. It does not stick upward and is even with the plate. By designing the handle that way I can still cover my bed with my tonneau cover where other manufactures the handle was higher than the bed rail. The price was excellent and dealing with customer service was the same.
by: Gwen 05/08/2024
Very happy with this hitch. Installed it myself with the installation instructions and trailer videos. Mush easier to operate than my old hitch.
by: Daimon C. 06/25/2019
Great product. Easy to assemble and fits perfectly in standard bed rails on 22” center. I have coupled up with it but have not towed with it yet. Have a short trip of about 400 miles coming up in about 2 weeks. So far I am very happy with the way it couples and slides. Unlike my old square tube slider this one is very smooth and the price was right . Ordered late afternoon on Thursday and it delivered on Monday. Great shipping time. I like everything about it especially the fact that when you uncouple it is automatically set to recouple.
by: Jared08/08/2022
Great hitch and great value. Our trailer is 2000lbs on the hitch and 12000lbs loaded, so not a huge rig. My favorite feature on this hitch is the locking jaw system, it makes coupling and un-coupling very smooth. The slider (when rarely used) is very smooth as well. Most of our towing is in the Colorado mountains and I feel very safe using this hitch. Lastly, I know this is just aesthetics, but it's a nice looking hitch.
by: Michael03/14/2024
I called to the technician line for help my hitch had to be set after disengaging. I have to pull the handle back and hear a click or I cannot get a proper lock. The technician said to lube it and was not very professional. He didn't suggest it could be anything other than that. His remedy didn't work so I have to set the lock to hook up.
by: Robert04/12/2024
Work great on my 2023 ford f350. And 38 ft 5th wheel very smooth when driving. Easy to hook up 5th wheel
by: Rod04/23/2019
I am very pleased with my 5th wheel hitch.the install of the rails went well,and the assembly of the hitch itself also went well.first time towing 5th wheel no problem. I thought it was great that it was delivered promptly to my home no charge freight,that I believe saved me a lot money. I look forward to doing more towing this summer knowing the hitch is quality . Thank you for the follow up,I would recommend e trailer to anybody shopping for trailering equipment.

view full answer... - Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch and Sidewinder Pin Box for 2017 Titan XD Diesel 6.5 BedFor a 2017 Nissan Titan XD, we have the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Nissan Titan XD Towing Prep Package - Slide Bar Jaw - 16K # C16515-16026 which is a removable hitch. For use in a 6-1/2 Foot Bed, I recommend using a Sidewinder which will be pin box specific to your trailer to give you the turning clearance necessary. To use this hitch with a sidewinder, you'll also need Wedge # C16991 to keep the king pin from rotating inside the hitch.
view full answer... - Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2016 Nissan Titan XD with Puck SystemSince the trailer you plan on purchasing features a rotating pin box you won't need a sliding hitch to obtain the necessary cab clearance during sharp turns. This is great news since a slider is more expensive than a fixed model, a lot heavier, and would require a bit more work on your part. For your 2016 Nissan Titan XD with the factory puck system I highly recommend the fixed Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Nissan Titan XD Towing Prep Package - Slide Bar Jaw - 16K # C16515-16026....

- Recommended Under Bed Mounted 5th Wheel Hitch for 2018 Nissan Titan We have a solution that will tick all the boxes in your wish list. If you install a # BWGNRK1208-5W B&W Turnover Ball Gooseneck hitch in the bed of your Titan, the hitch can be used as the attachment point for the excellent B&W # BWRVK3500-5W Companion 5th wheel hitch. This hitch is made in the USA (in Kansas, to be exact), has a limited lifetime warranty and when removed it will leave your truck bed 100% usable without obstruction. I've linked to product videos that you might find helpful.

view full answer... - How to Select 5th Wheel Trailer Tire Capacity Based on Trailer GVWRWhen it is time to select new tires for your 5th wheel camper trailer you will want to start with the trailer's gross vehicle weight rating, or GVWR, which is the very most the trailer can weigh. This weight figure should then be divided by the number of tires on the trailer, 4 for a tandem axle trailer, for example. So, if you had a tandem trailer rated for 8000-lbs GVWR each of the tires should be rated for no less than 2000-lbs. In the most popular trailer wheel/tire size, ST205/75-15...
view full answer... - What Does Curt A16 Fifth Wheel Hitch C16520-16026 WeighThe Curt A16 hitch part # C16520-16026 weighs 196 lbs. You should note that a fifth wheel hitch does not count as tongue weight since it is actually carried in the bed of the truck over the rear axle and not at the rear of the vehicle at the bumper where tongue weight is factored. If your truck has a tongue weight rating that does not refer to fifth wheel towing and instead refers to bumper pull trailer towing.
view full answer... - Recommended Fifth Wheel Hitch Height For A 2016 Titan XD SL When it comes to 5th wheels you'll need to measure the height from the ground to the floor of your 2016 Nissan Titan XD's bed and the height from the ground to the pin box king pin plate while the trailer is level. The difference between the two is the height you'll want you hitch at. For example the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Nissan Titan XD Towing Prep Package # C16520-16026 has 13-17" height adjustment. If you measure a bed height of 40" and a king pin plate height of 55"...

The special version hitches made for your Nissan factory-installed rail kit, such as the Curt A16 # C16520-16026 and the A20 # C16540-16026, do not use above-bed base rails since they drop directly into the three factory rail kit receptacles in the bed.

You will simply need to use the wedge that is included with the pin box. There is a short end and long end on the wedge so you will just need to orient it so that it fits with the Curt hitch head.
