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).

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:

Very helpful, order arrived quickly and in good shape. I have installed the unit and all went well. Between watching their videos, chatting and talking with their agent to place the order, I had the information I needed to make an informed decision for my truck. Great resources!

Well I started unboxing my BRAND NEW Curt A20 5th Wheel hitch.
You would think that paying over a grand for a hitch that the
paint/powder coat quality would be better than this.
I bought this hitch to go on our NEW Chevrolet HIGH COUNTRY.
Very Disappointed!!

I am sorry to hear that you are disappointed in the finish of the 5th wheel. I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you.



by:

This is the third 5th wheel hitch I have used and is my favorite. This one is the puck style, or factory prep as it is called, and the fit to the in-bed mounting points is spot on. As long as you get the hitch lined up correctly with the pin box, the engagement and disengagement is smooth and clean.

After a full year with this hitch and somewhere between 20,000 - 25,000 miles on it I still give it an enthusiastic 5 stars. Works as smooth as new.

Still working as good as the day it was first installed. I highly recommend this fifth wheel hitch.



by:

Delivers fast product was correct and it was delivered in good condition



by:

Very nice hitch. It took me part of an afternoon to put it together. I had a couple of brief issues. The main assembly bolts take a short 21mm socket which I needed to purchase. I also found that there are 4 threaded bolt holes in each of the legs,but only the outboard holes lined up for the bolts. Also because I used the position that put the head at it's maximum height with the receiver head off once I tightened the two bolts on each side I had to turn the frame over to get a socket and torque wrench in to finish torque settings. I'm looking forward to towing with it.

easy to assemble. tows 34 ft trailer nicely. couples easy as long as you line up the pad and pin correctly.



by:

I was surprised that assembly was required. Not a big deal and allows for adjustent to individual campers just different from what was expecting. It has a very tight fit, hopefully it will loosen up with use. Telephone assistance was exceptional, helped me with my order and made me confident that I was getting thr right one. My only complaint was with the shipper,they delivered after dark, my wife and I were both home and neither of us heard a nock or doorbell. I discovered that it was hear when I got the email from customer service otherwise it would have sat there all night and who knows if it would have been there in the morning.



by:

I would highly recommend this company and their products! The staff was very diligent with their responses and delivered as promised with a great price tag!

Ordered a A20 Curt 5th wheel hitch for my 2020 Chevy. I installed it in about 35 minutes. Very happy with it.

Worked with Noah E on the phone when ordering, he was knowledgeable about the product. It shipped the same day. Noah called me to let me know the packages got separated during delivery, and were to arrive one day apart from one another. I found Noah and etrailer to very customer friendly and would buy there again.



by:

Overall, a good product. But, I have had problems with mine during coupling. Most of the time, the A20 won’t initially couple. I have to back it off the pin, manually close the jaws, and reopen them before trying again to couple the hitch. This has been quite aggravating to say the least.



by:

Hitch works very well. Love how the puck system makes for a ckear bed, easy to gat around. Green light adds to confidence of a good hook up. It would have been nice if the Assembly (bolts) were a little more ckear for this particular base.



by:

Great Product, Fell right in, easy to assembly, have no problems pulling my 43 ft. Fifth wheel. I like the cushioned head, not as rough and less noise on the road as the my old Reese drop in.

  • Curt 5th Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2021 GMC Sierra 2500 With Factory Puck System
    A Curt 5th wheel hitch like you mentioned would be a terrific option for your 2021 GMC Sierra 2500 with the factory puck system, and there's one option for a Curt hitch that stands above the rest, which is the Curt A-Series, all of which will fit directly in your Sierra's pucks. There are different capacities available as well depending on the weight of your 5th wheel trailer, so you can choose from the following: - 16,000 lb Capacity: Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing...

  • Does Reese Elite 5th Wheel Hitch Fit 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 With Factory Puck System
    Thanks for the info, though the Reese Elite 5th wheel hitch is not compatible with the puck system on your 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500, and there isn't any type of adapter. So you will need a new 5th wheel hitch for your Chevy, and while I know this isn't the news you were looking for, you should be able to offset much of the cost by selling the Elite, seeing as how it is only a few years old. To replace the Elite for your Chevy, the best option is going to be from Curt: - Curt A20 5th Wheel...

  • Is The Curt A20 5TH Wheel Hitch For 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500 Compatible With Rotoflex Pin Box?
    Yes the Curt A20 5th wheel hitch is compatible with the Rotoflex pin box. As I see you have a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 you will need one of the following hitches depending on your bed length and if you have the factory prep/puck system.

    I've got the perfect alternative that will save you a few bucks. Take a look at the Curt A20, part # C84FR. The Curt A series features a fully articulating hitch head and a unique split jaw system that grips the king pin very tightly all the way around, which eliminates a lot of the clanging and banging experienced during braking and acceleration. The Curt legs will fit right into the GM pucks. Drop it in, and close the latches. You're done. (Although the first time using the hitch, you...

  • Will the Curt A20 Fixed 5th Wheel Hitch for Chevy/GMC Pucks Fix a Short Bed
    Yes, the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package part # C84FR will fit a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 with short bed. That said, you would just need to be mindful of your turning clearance between the cab of the vehicle and loft of the trailer. This typically only becomes an issue when making tight, 90-degree turns so if you are careful then you should be alright with a fixed hitch and short bed. The puck system has also been moved closer to the tailgate on the...

  • Best Curt 5th Wheel Hitch For 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 With Factory Prep/Puck Mounts
    For a long bed(8') I recommend the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C84FR.

The hitch height is adjustable from 13-17" and it capable of towing a trailer up to 20,000lbs with a maximum tongue weight of 5,000lbs. Be sure not to exceed the towing capacities on your Silverado given by Chevrolet.

  • Fifth Wheel Recommendation for 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 with OEM Rail Kit
    The hitch I recommend for your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 long bed is the B and W Companion part # BWRVK3715 which has a 25k capacity. This USA made hitch has the highest quality, ease of use, and overall reliability. It's also made in the USA and easily breaks down into smaller sections to make installing/removing a bit easier.

  • 5th Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 Long Bed With Factory Tow/Prep Package
    The most popular option is the B&W Companion, part # BWRVK3710 for a 20K capacity or # BWRVK3715 for a 25K capacity. The B&W Companion is as rugged as they come, using a 1 inch thick jaw that holds the fifth wheel king pin incredibly tightly. This leads to comfortable ride, without almost all of the clanging and banging usually experienced. If you want something a bit less expensive that still offers a lot of quality for the money, you can't go wrong with the Curt A Series, available...

Our part number # C84FR is the exact same as Curt 16092 you mentioned, and as such it will fit your vehicle perfectly.

  • What Does Curt A20 Fifth Wheel Hitch C84FR Weigh
    The Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # C84FR you referenced weighs 153 lbs. What's interesting though is that payload is the weight capacity of the truck bed but this hitch attaches actually to the rail kit of the truck which attaches to the truck frame and does not get factored as payload.

  • Is Reese M5 Available for 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500
    There are a few reasons why you are having problems finding the Reese M5 hitch as a fit for your 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500. The first is that it looks like you input that you have a 6-3/4' bed with the OEM Prep Package. While that is an excellent option, Reese hasn't released a sliding M5 hitch as of yet (March 2020). We do have the 20K M5 # RP30928 that fits standard base rails but you'll need the adapter # DM6333 to make it compatible and we only really recommend stationary hitches...

  • Comparing Curt A20 and Curt Q20 5th Wheel Hitch for 2020 GMC Sierra 3500
    The difference between the Q20 # C16130 and the A20 # C16140 is the design of the head. The A20 is the newer design that has the more standard dual pivoting head allowing front to back and side to side movement. The Q20 has a spherical axial bearing that allows 360 degree movement for a quieter ride. Customers have also at times had issues with easily connecting to their trailer because the head can move in all directions. My recommendation for you is the A20 and if you have the factory...

    Both the Curt # C57FR Q20 and # C84FR A20 are compatible with the pucks in the bed of your 2021 GMC Sierra 2500 long bed. There are a few important differences. The A20 uses an interlocking jaw that holds the king pin tightly all around its 360º circumference. The Q20 uses a 2 piece jaw that doesn't interlock, so it doesn't hold the king pin quite as tightly as the A20 does. This means that the king pin won't move around in the jaws which provides a smoother ride. The A20 uses a torsion...
