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.
Three-Point 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).

Ive been using this fifth wheel set up for about 5 months now and I don't have any complaints. I pull a 2022 Heartland Cyclone 4006 toyhauler fifth wheel. Loaded down its usually weighing between 18 to 20,000 lbs depending on what we are hauling.

Ordering from etrailer was a great decision! I got a confirmation email for my order within minutes and an email it had shipped in just a few hours. I was given an expected delivery date and it actually showed up a day early. I’m super impressed with the customer service! I bought a fifth wheel hitch and found an [online] video for my truck and hitch that was extremely helpful, especially since all the RV dealers in the area were two months out to install it. All in all dealing with etrailer has been a great experience and I will definitely be going back for any of my other RV needs!

Easy to order from etrailer with fast shipping. Ordered on Mon estimated delivery on Fri but came in only 2 days for a deliver Wed. Curt A25 hitch packaged very well good instruction easy assembly on tailgate filling installed and torqued in less that 30 mins.
by: James09/11/2021
It is well built. Directions could have better illustrations. Putting handle together was the most difficult part of process. It dropped right into my existing rails. Have not hooked my fifth wheel yet, but very satisfied with the finished product.
by: Todd01/27/2024
The hitch has worked well for us . I wish it would go up 2 inches higher as it is close to the box have not had any problems though
by: Gary 11/08/2023
I could not be happier. It's solid, no sway while towing and no banging when I hit the brakes. Great product and I would highly recommend it!
by: Mark J09/28/2023
The hitch arrived as promised and in perfect condition. Couldn’t ask for better customer service. Looking forward to towing with the Curt A25.
I’ll amend this review after I tire with it. Super happy with etrailer!!

Packing was horrible. Smaller box inside a bigger box just bouncing around that created a big hole. All the bolts and nuts came free from packaging and were all over. Not to mention the ones that got lost.
by: Samuel09/16/2021
It was poor delivered and packaged. I don’t even know if all the parts are in there yet till tomorrow. There was a huge hole delivered and they even tried to patch up the box. SMH

Great customer service, thanks for the help…
by: John08/26/2019
Took me a month, but I finally got the Curt A25 fifth wheel hitch in my truck and took it for nearly 150 mile trip to see how it would work. My wife and I both were amazed at how quiet and the bouncing, snapping, popping and cussing were all gone. This hitch is absolutely amazing. Before, when I just pulled out of my driveway, the old fifth wheel would snap and pop loudly several times. It was so quiet with the Curt A25 (new one), both of us looked at each other and looked back to see if the trailer was moving with us. (It was) Thank you to Curt for building it so well and to all of the people at etrailer that recommended it and ensuring it was all right.

My 5th wheel package was robbed during shipping.
When I received it, the box had obviously been opened and then taped shut.
When I opened it, the base of the 5th wheel hitch was gone!
I called etrailer's customer support and they were amazing.
I sent pictures of the package I took before and after I opened the package.
The customer support rep said that was all I needed to do.
And they shipped a new base two days later.
I just received the base of the hitch.
I am extremely happy that etrailer's customer support was so responsive when I had a serious problem!
Thank you etrailer customer support!

Had a Pullrite Superglide in my old F350 standard bed but when I upgraded to the 8ft bed of the dually, I went with this hitch. Hitch came in 2 boxes and although the boxes worked banged up a bit, everything was there and fine. It only took about 30 minutes to bolt everything together and install on the rails that were already in the truck. I actually had to take the hitch apart once to adjust the hitch up a little. I wanted it as high as possible in the bed, while still clearing the Roll N Lock retractable bed cover. Looks good, seems solid and well made. Hitch head comes off to make it easier to remove this hitch, but even with the head connected, I am able to move the hitch in the truck (would need to take head off for me to lift the hitch out of the truck). Also installed a BedRug at the same time to clean up the bed.

Curt A25 fifth wheel hitch... received in record time ,box was damaged and the pull arm was bent. Called Etrailer and they sent me another pull arm immediately. Great customer service, will continue to do business here. Thanks Molly and George
by: Jerry09/13/2021
Packaging was tore up, expected that. The head had been dropped and bent the engagement handle. I peened it back to straight to get the black handle back on and moveable. otherwise no issue with the product so far.

I apologize for the handle being bent. I am glad that you got it bent back in place and it is working out fine for you!
by: George 01/16/2020
Great Hitch. I haven't used it to pull yet but it's heavier and seems more sturdy than the Reese I replaced. I also like the interlocking jaws. Many time hitching with the reese I'd have to use a flashlight to see that the jaws were closed but not any more. I'll update once I pull the camper with it.
by: RBS06/09/2022
etrailer sells high quality Curt products. I order Curt products from etrailer and all reasonably price, process works great, online order through physical final delivery,
by: Donald09/03/2022
The only thing I wish I got was a sliding hitch as it would have been a bit easier to hitch as a perfectly straight hitch I have only a inch to spare before my tailgate hits the bulkhead. So being that I have to close the tailgate before I am totally hitched into the kingpin
by: Everett04/12/2018
Arrived in great shape, easy to install. Can't wait to give it a try. Looks well built and easy to use. The release handle is just in a different position than my old 20K Reese so will be a little more of a reach to get to the lock pin.
by: Clifton08/18/2019
I have pulled a 16,000 lbs 5th wheel over 13,000 miles with this hitch and no issues. It arrived with the package damaged and the handle bent. Etrailer quickly replaced the part. The base will rust if not covered. If you remain hooked up for an over night stay, you will need to lower your jacks to stabilize and prevent rocking do to the hitch’s design. Great product.
by: Dennis K.06/07/2020
Purchased the Curt 25 A. 25,000 lb capacity with articulating head. I pull an 18,000 lb 5th wheel camper with a 3500 diesel dually. There is lots of movement when braking and start of pull after a full and normal stop. I would not buy the articulating model again. The product seems to be well built just too much front to rear movement in the head.
by: John Lyp01/23/2020
This fifth wheel is very noisy and a loose connection. I would not recommend it.
by: Aaron 08/17/2022
Worked perfect! Just installed it this Evening test it later this week! Thanks again etrailer!
by: John11/04/2018
It’s held up great. No slack in the kingpin jaws or anywhere else. All the products bought work just the way they were advertised.

I’ve pulled my fifth wheel a little over 10,000 miles and still works great. No problems with any of it.
by: Steven 09/17/2021
I am very pleased with my purchase from etrailer. The 25,000 pound hitch and hardware was shipped promptly and received from UPS in good condition.
Thanks, etrailer!

- Can Reese Elite Hitch Install on Curt Adapter Rails for More Height on a 2021 Ford F-450 Puck SystemHey Bryan, thanks for reaching out! Your Reese Elite Series Hitch (discontinued part 30143) has a height range of 14-1/2" - 17" and is only able to secure to the OEM puck system on your 2021 Ford F-450 Super Duty, so we either need to get you a taller hitch that mounts directly to the pucks or you can use the Curt Adapter Rails # C88KR with a different hitch to gain more height like what you said. The first option I recommend exploring is the B&W Companion # BWRVK3305 because it installs...

- Recommended 25K 5th Wheel Hitch For A 2022 Ford F-350 DRW Typically you'll only want to use 80-85% of any item's total capacity to keep a buffer safety zone so that you never risk having a product fail. You're correct that the only Companions at 25k capacity are for OEM puck systems. B&W is a great brand and is my favorite as well, but in this case they're not going to have anything compatible with with the # BWGNRK1116-5W that's going to have over 20k capacity, so you'll have to look at another brand. Curt offers the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer...
view full answer... - Recommended Curt 5th Wheel Hitch For 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500 For 20,000 lb TrailerSince your Alliance trailer has a 20,000 lb GVWR, you'll need a hitch with a capacity that exceeds that, and the best option from Curt is the A-Series. You didn't mention if your 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500 had the OEM puck system, or if you already have bed rails installed, or if it was a short bed or long bed, so I'll list out every potential option: - Short Bed WITHOUT OEM Puck System: Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16429-204 & Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S25 Slider...
view full answer... - Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2023 Ford F-450 Super Duty with OEM Puck SystemThanks for reaching out! The 5th wheel hitch I recommend for the OEM puck system on your 2023 Ford F-450 Super Duty is the Curt A25 # C16180 which connects to the pucks using the Adapter Rails # C88KR. I really like the A25 because it has dual interlocking jaws that wrap around the king pin and provide 360 degree contact, as well as a fully articulating torsion head. With these features you get a really smooth and secure towing experience. When it comes to a bed liner for your truck,...
view full answer... - Does A25 Curt 5th Wheel Hitch Fit Reese Base Rails in 2017 Ford F-350 Super DutyReese base rails like the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit with Base Rails # RP50074-58 that fit your 2017 Ford F-350 are known as industry-standard base rails, which means yes, you will absolutely be able to use the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16180. This hitch mounts directly onto industry-standard base rails so you will be able to mount it and get the full capacity of the hitch. The A25 # C16180 will also work with your 2012 Forest River XLR without any issue. The...

The Curt Semi-Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kits does save money but is not a good option because it requires drilling into the frame. In regards to weight capacity, there isn't one for the base rails or frame brackets because this will come from the fifth wheel hitch. In other words, the weight...
view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Hitch with Higher Weight Capacity than Curt E16 HitchSince your Curt E16 hitch now that means you have industry standard fifth wheel rails and can easily install a hitch with a higher weight capacity like the Curt A25 part # C16180 which has a 25k capacity. This has a much nicer jaw design than what your current hitch has so it will be much smoother and quieter as well as easier to operate.
view full answer... - Converting Curt A25 Fifth Wheel Hitch for Ram Prep Package to Fit Reese Above Bed RailsTo adapt your Curt A25 fifth wheel hitch designed to fit Ram pucks all you'd need is the Curt Leg Kit part # C16907 which will convert your hitch to fit the above bed rails you have now and would essentially convert it to the A25 part # C16180. This hitch fits the Reese rails as well as several other brands of rails since they all make them to the same dimensions.
view full answer... - Comparing the Curt A25 to the Curt Q25 5th Wheel HitchThe Curt Q25 # C16265 had some issues with the jaws that the company corrected, so you shouldn't have any issues. The A25 # C16180 came on the market with stronger materials and a different jaw design that interlocked and came with a lifetime limited warranty versus the 10 year limited warranty of the Q25. The Q25 has an axial bearing that allows head movement 360 degrees, so it is able to function differently. The Q25 has easy 2 pin head removal. The A25 has easy 1 pin head removal....

Instead, you'd be adding industry standard above-bed rails. The Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Trailer Hitches - 20,000 lbs # C16210 will work for you if you have a standard gooseneck ball hole, and # 16310 will work if you have the square B&W Turnoverball square ball hole.

The A25 has an interlocking dual jaw for increased security. The A25 also has built in grease zerk fittings to make maintenance just a little easier. It also has a 1 pin head removal compared to the 2 pin option of the Q25. They are both nice 5th wheel hitches, but the A25 has those couple of really nice features as an upgrade....
view full answer... - How to Reduce Severe Chucking and Jarring Issues with a 2013 Keystone Montana 5th Wheel TrailerYou are correct, the Lippert Tri-Glide has since been replaced with the Lippert Trailair Flex Air in favor of a more streamline design with less moving parts. In regards to comparing the Trailair to the MORryde, the Trailair uses an airbag with shock absorber and the MORryde uses a rubber spring. The Trailair will provide a smoother ride and have more adjustments but the MORryde will be a bit more durable. They are both great options for you but it really just depends on preference. With...

The A25 is the newer version. The changes made to the head address some issues with head failure associated with the Q25. The Q25 was a beefier version of the Q24.

- What Are The Differences Between The Curt Q24, Q25, And A25 5th Wheel Trailer HitchesThe three 5th wheel hitches that you are inquiring about are the Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 24,000 lbs, part # C16245 Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs, part # C16265 Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs, part # C16180 The only differences between the Q24 and Q25 is the Q24 is the weight limit. The Q24 is rated for 24,000 lbs, the Q25 is rated for 25,000 lbs. These two 5th wheel hitches cannot be used with a rotating pin box....
view full answer... - What is Weight Rating of Curt Fifth Wheel Rail KitsFifth wheel rails like the Curt rail kit part # C16427-204 you referenced basically are rated as highly as the fifth wheel hitch that's installed in them. So if you used a 25k Curt A25 # C16180 you'd have an overall capacity of 25,000 lbs or if you went with an A20 part # C16140 you'd have a 20k capacity.
view full answer... - Will the Curt A25 Hitch Fit in Industry Standard Base RailsAs long as your Pullrite rail kit provides you with industry standard base rails to mount a 5th wheel hitch, the Curt A25 # C16180 will fit, since it's designed to fit in industry standard base rails. I've attached a photo of the dimensions for industry standard rails that you can compare yours to.

- Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2020 Ford F-250 with and without Factory Puck SystemI can absolutely make a 5th wheel hitch recommendation for your potential 2020 Ford F-250, whether you get it with the factory puck system in the bed or not. Starting with my recommendation for the factory puck setup, I really like the Curt A25 5th Wheel Hitch # C16036. This will drop right down into those pucks and it features an interlocking 2-jaw system that will completely wrap around the trailer's king pin. What this does is not only provide an extremely secure connection with the...
view full answer... - Can Reese Elite Fifth Wheel Hitch be Adapted to Fit Above Bed RailsThe Reese Elite hitches do not have a set of legs that can replace what they come with to allow them to fit above-bed rails like you mentioned. If you wanted a similarly rated fifth wheel hitch that does fit above bed rails I would recommend the Curt A25 part # C16180. This hitch holds the king pin tighter than the Elite hitch so the ride quality would be smoother, the hitch is lighter, and overall very high quality and easy to use.
view full answer... - Does Curt A25 Fifth Wheel Hitch Ride in the Center of the Rails on a 2008 Ford F-250 or F-350?Yes, the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16180 will sit in the center of the rails. If you take a look at the diagram I've added you can see where you would need to install the Curt Brackets and Base Rails # C16448-204 on your 2008 Ford F-250 or F-350 and where the center line of the hitch is in relation to the brackets.

The Universal Above-Bed Base Rails for Demco # DM6071 will work great, as this will bolt up to your current brackets.
