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).

2017 Nissan Titan

This product review is for a Curt A20 fifth wheel hitch for a 2017 Nissan Titan XD with the puck system. The hitch was ordered in late March and received May 10, the status of my order was followed up by Helen M. at etrailer, she was very informative and responsive to my inquiries. The hitch arrived by UPS in two packages. The packaging was in great shape and very substantial. All parts were secure in the package. Be advised this hitch is very heavy so help with installation may be necessary. The hitch base frame is cast iron and very sturdy. The base fit perfectly in the factory puck system. Grease was applied to the pucks and receivers to reduce future corrosion. Unpacking will take about 30 minutes and the installation is very easy and with help will require about one hour. The hitch is installed but at present has not been used and tested under a load, so be advised there will be a follow up to this review in the future. Thanks etrailer for a great shopping experience.



by:

This is one of the best built hitches I’ve owned. Very well built and easily installed



by:

At times it is very difficult to lock the pin into place. Very bothersome when trying to check out. Could be much easier.



by:

After a year of use, it has actually done really well for my family and me. The only issue I have with it is a little thing, probably user error: When I attempted to remove the base for the winter, the lever on the right side (passenger side) doesn't grip the pin very well, making it difficult to remove. I marked it for the right position for when I install it again and want to remove again. The mark didn't help, I will still need to remove the lever/handle to remove the pin again this year. Otherwise, it does the job I need it to.

Excellent fifth wheel adapter, easy to install and remove.

Great Hitch, very happy with this unit. Have pulled the 18K lb fifth wheel over 25K miles (Florida to Idaho, back to Florida and now Alaska). We have covered many rough roads and challenging situations, without problems and have never had a bad couple.
The hitch indicator on front of head gives a clear indication of latching condition, and the latch handle has a locking pin for added protection. This pin is the only issue I have had, which can be trapped under the slide plate if your truck is at an angle (beyond about 35 deg) from the rv. I make it a point to pull this pin prior to backing if I am the least bit concerned.

This is a great hitch! Excellent quality and it's made here in America.



by:

This is very well built and operates great. Once I got the first rail positioned and mounted, everything else was very easy. The R20 slider came in a single box and was very heavy. The packaging is not suitable for the weight. As others have also reported, the package was completely demolished when it arrived. Thankfully , all the part’s made it okay and nothing was damaged. I love the product.



by:

Two boxes del by UPS in good shape for the weight, I installed this myself, while still boxed I lifted into my Ram 2500 to handle easier, installed into my pucks then assembled the rest, went very well, the label they want you to put on driver side you can’t even read, let alone while holding in hand, we will be heading to the mountains of Colorado soon, we’ve always had a bumper pull till now, I’m sure this will work very well, this is 20K double jaw, thank you



by:

Like everyone writes. Packaging is light for such 5th wheel heavy metal hitches. just some scuffs but everything was there (incl hardware). R20 roller box fell apart. A20 hitch head box was intact and well packed with styrofoam. Installed same day. Can't wait to camp. I've upgraded from Husky 15k slider to Curt A20 w/ R20 slider. I kept my original Reese rails for my Ram3500 puck system. Everything fit together. Ordering was easy over the phone. Delivery was quick. All nice things to say. Thanks you all around.



by:

The A20 hitch and R20 slider are outstanding products.
One issue I had was the differing instructions on bolting the two together.
The A20 instructions are for bolting to stationary’leg’ base. The R20 slider instructions are what I used and worked very well.



by:

Worst hitch I’ve ever owned takes 5 or 6 times to latch sloppy noisy won’t even use it anymore went back to using gooseneck ball tried to sell it couldn’t even get a3rd for what I paid for it so just threw it in my junk pile



by:

Excellent system. Sits in, turn the pucks and ready to go. Great pulling the new 5th wheel



by:

I have towed with the Curt A20 for a few thousand miles. I really like this hitch. The visual hooked versus unkooked indicator is awesome. It operates flawlessly. I do get some chucking over bridge expansion joints. However, it seems like most people have this problem. On normal roads it pulls great.



by:

Love it. Easy to take apart and move! The instructions were very clear on how to assemble. I pull a 43ft camper and have yet to have any problems! Well worth the $$



by:

2008 Dodge 3500 Mega Cab Laramie DRW.
Fit
the rails already in the truck perfect. Easy to assemble. Did 95% of it before I even looked at the instructions. I believe it will work well when I finally get the chance to use it.



by:

The Hitch is Great! The shipping box was almost destroyed when I received it, this was the second hitch that I bought from etrailer and again the product was great but the shipping box was almost non-existing. Improve the shipping box.



by:

Hitch slid into existing rails after a very minor adjustment. Took my son and I about 25 minutes to assemble, torgue bolts and adjust rails in the bed of my truck. we have used it twice already and camper did not bang and pop like it did on old worn out receiver.
The ordering process was also very smooth. Kelsey took the time to explain the differences in the hitches before I made my decision!
I Would recommend both etrailer and this hitch if you are looking to change out!



by:

Hitch came packed well even though the box looked banged up. Everything was still undamaged and in good usable condition, just minor scuffs. I think this unit will have more when I get done with it. Watched a you tube video from curt on installation and had little trouble installing the hitch following the enclosed guidelines. Everything lined up according to plan. I think the hardest part was getting access by the heat shield. Tough spot to work on but I had help from a younger, more adapt helper who was able to manage just fine. A creeper for underneath was super handy and a 6 foot ladder to climb in and out of the bed made it a whole lot easier. Really did not need to use a lift. Would have made it a bit harder to work in the bed. My truck is quite high which allowed nice working space underneath.



by:

The R20 Roller and the A20 Slider were both pretty easy to install. Except for the weight (Those Things Are HEAVY) It was a straight forward install. What I like is the Quality of the Curt Products. They are a very high Quality product in my opinion. I plan on the wife and I and our Two Main Coons are planning a cross country trip. So I am very excited to get out on the open Road and see where life takes us. What WAS a bear to install was the Rail Kit. It required lots of trips out from under



by:

Delivery was quick and assembly was easy enough. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because the jaws won't open consistently to unhitch without moving the truck back and forth. This is compounded when not on level ground. I had to pry the jaws apart to get them to open. My previous Curt hitch did not do this unless the truck and camper were very uneven.



by:

I'll post back after a 2000 mile haul with the 40 RV. Looks good so far...
Have a great day everyone!



by:

I already had a curt goose neck frame mounted in truck so I used the Curt adopter plate # 16220 an the A 20 curt 5 wheel hitch assembly was very easy with no issues looking forward to putting it to work with my G M C 3500 also purchased a curt bumper dual ball adjustable hitch

  • Curt A-20 for Nissan Titan HD Compatibility with Reese Revolution or Sidewinder Pin Box
    The Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Nissan Titan XD Towing Prep Package # C16540-16026 is compatible with a revolution pin box. In fact there is a custom wedge I recommend for that application. It is the Sidewinder Wedge for Curt A16 and A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # C16992. This will give you the best fit available for your Reese Revolution to work properly. I've attached a video to assist.

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch and Slider Recommendation for 2017 Nissan Titan XD with Factory Rail Kit
    The Curt A20 part # C16540-16026 that you referenced is a fit for the factory rail kit you have in your 2017 Nissan Titan XD. The issue you may have is turning clearance since this is a fixed hitch and your truck bed is shorter than 8 feet. So instead you'll want the Nissan rail kit adapter part # DM6200 with the slider A20 hitch part # C16541 and you'd be set. When you get into a tight parking spot you'll be able to slide this hitch back and have the needed clearance.

  • Industry Standard 5th Wheel Hitch Compatibility with 2017 Nissan Titan XD Factory Rail Kit
    It sounds like your Pro Series 5th wheel hitch is an industry-standard-rail (ISR) type like # PS30855 that installs in above-bed base rails like those in universal 5th wheel rail install kit # RP30035. 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. At one time Nissan did develop and...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch Rail Adapter or Custom Hitch for 2017 Nissan Titan XD
    The Curt X5 5th-Wheel Base Rail Adapter Plate for EZr Double Lock Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # C16220 will not work on your 2017 Nissan Titan XD. Currently the only adapter compatible with your truck is the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6200. This will allow you to use any standard sliding hitch for short bed, or fixed hitch for the 8 foot bed. Your capacity will be 21K maximum when using this rail adapter based on the adapter but the truck capacity will further limit that to 17.7K. Your...

  • Comparing 5th Wheel Hitch and Gooseneck Hitch on 2016 Nissan Titan XD Diesel 4x4
    The 5th wheel and Gooseneck towing capacity of a vehicle like your 2016 Nissan Titan XD Diesel 4x4 will be almost identical. A 5th wheel trailer will have more weight directly over the bed in most cases, but it is built for the weight to be dispersed between the king pin and axles in the same way that a gooseneck trailer is dispersed over the coupler and the axles. Due to that slightly higher weight on the hitch of a 5th wheel trailer, the hitch itself has a wider base over the frame...

  • Compatibility of Curt 5th wheel LCI Turning Point Pin Box for 2018 Titan XD with Towing Prep Pkg
    The Curt A series of fifth wheel hitches are no longer compatible with Reese Sidewinders, so you'll instead want to go with a Curt E Series. For your 2018 Nissan Titan XD with the OEM prep package, the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Nissan Titan XD Towing Prep Package - Slide Bar Jaw - 16K # C16515-16026 will work well and fit right in. You'll also need a custom Sidewinder Wedge # C16991 to keep the king pin from rotating inside the hitch head.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for 2018 Nissan Titan XD with Factory Gooseneck
    For your 2018 Nissan Titan XD that is equipped with the factory gooseneck I highly recommend the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16540-16026 for a few reasons. This particular hitch features an interlocking 2-jaw locking system that will provide a secure connection to the trailer while also reducing movement and rattle during travel. Its fully articulating torsion head allows for an extremely smooth ride and the 3-Point indicator system is a unique feature that eases hookup by using...

  • Does Andersen Ultimate Connection Attach to a Gooseneck Hitch on 2017 Nissan Titan XD?
    The Andersen Ultimate is designed to fit with industry standard fifth-wheel base rails and will not attach to the gooseneck ball on your 2017 Nissan Titan XD. Instead of using an adapter to haul your fifth-wheel trailer, I recommend taking a look at the Curt fifth-wheel hitch that fits the puck system in a 2017 Titan XD with the tow prep package. The Curt A20 # C16540-16026 fits Titan's with a 6-1/2 foot bed, has a GTW of 20,000 lbs and a vertical load limit of 5,000 lbs.

  • Can The Nissan Titan XD 5th Wheel Hitch Be Replaced To Fit Other Trucks
    If your hitch has the three point Titan XD base then it's only going to work with a Titan XD, but you can most likely replace the base with either an OEM or standard base to get it to fit your new truck. For example, if you had the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Nissan Titan XD Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20,000lbs # C16540-16026 you could swap the base with part # C16906 to connect it to base rails in the bed of your new truck. If your new truck has a puck system you could...

  • Gooseneck To 5th Wheel Hitch For A 2017 Nissan Titan XD

This hitch will work well with your factory gooseneck hitch allow you to have both 5th wheel and gooseneck towing capabilities.

  • Adapter Plate for a 2016 Nissan Titan XD with Factory Puck System
    Yes, the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter part # DM6200 will fit your 2016 Nissan Titan XD and allow for the use of most 5th wheel hitches that use industry standard rails (ISR) for the exception of the B&W Patriot Slider. For an option that will not require an adapter, I recommend using the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16540-16026 as long as you have the 8' bed. The Curt A20 is specifically designed to work with the factory puck system in your Titan XD. It has a 20,000 lb towing...

  • Is Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch Needed for 2018 Nissan Titan XD Short Bed With Factory Puck System
    There are options for your 2018 Nissan Titan XD, though in order to make a sharp turn you will either need a sliding hitch, or a fixed 5th wheel hitch with a Sidewinder. One that is compatible with a Sidewinder is the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16540-16026. For a sliding hitch on your short bed 2018 Titan XD there is an outstanding option, the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550034 (18,000 lbs) or # DM8550035 (21,000 lbs); both of these hitches...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for a 2017 Nissan Titan XD

The Curt 5th Wheel Hitch has a 2-jaw locking system that provides a 360-degree jaw-to-kingpin contact, a 3-point indicator system that will tell you if the hitch is ready to uncouple, couple or tow, and a unique spherical axial bearing that allows easy pivoting of the hitch head.
