Heavy-duty fifth-wheel trailer hitch has a dual jaw and color-coded lock indicator for superb safety and security. Self-aligning, pivoting head and included lube plate make hookup a snap. Rails and universal installation kit sold separately.
Features:
Specs:
Note: This fifth-wheel trailer hitch is not compatible with rotating pin boxes, such as the Reese Sidewinder, Reese Revolution, and 5th Airborne Sidewinder.
Unlike slide-bar models, the rounded, 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.
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).
Curt's unique spherical axial bearing provides a durable pivot point that allows easy, 360-degree movement of the hitch head. This ball joint is designed for smooth, quiet operation with less clunking and chucking.
This adapter is specially designed to attach to the receivers in your Ford or Chevy/GMC's factory, underbed 5th-wheel towing prep package. The base then provides the attachment point for your Curt 5th-wheel legs or roller.

Loosened all the rails bolts, mounted hitch, and re-torqued everything. Puck mounting brackets were just off square a bit and twisted the rails when first installed. Either square ‘em up or alter instructions so it goes in first time. Installed in a 2022 Silverado 2500 6’10” bed. Loved the plan, set the rails first time in a few minutes (instead of waiting in a shop for four hours while someone else did the boring and cutting and such). Hitch has been in two other trucks with conventional rails and always fit. Coulda been a five star, but I am familiar with Curt and feel sure they will get it right.
Great product. Bought a new F250 with puck system and this product adapted my hitch to the puck system. I did have to drop the head of my hitch because the adapter raises it 2.5 inches. Feet on my Curt A16 fit right into the rails on adapter.

Still doing a great job. I have an overhead hoist in my garage so I can remove adapter and hitch as one unit leaving me with a clean bed. unit into pucks in bed and turn four handles and we’re ready to go! Great product.

Really wanted to give this 5 stars but it appears they didn’t try it with a hitch like mine. The flanges on the cross supports do not allow my hitch to seat down onto the support tubes. Thus the hitch holes will not line up with the tube holes and the pins cannot be inserted. I fixed it by taking a sledge hammer to the ears on my hitch until the holes aligned. I shouldn’t need to do that to something this expensive.

It is a shame that you had to use a sledgehammer to use the rails. I wanted to ask which brand of hitch do you have?
After purchasing a new truck, I needed an adapter for the Chevy puck system without buying the entire 5th wheel hitch, this fit the bill. Heavily built and easy to install. The only thing I would recommend is to use larger cotter pins because the ones that came with assembly would not engage the castle nuts.
Assembly and setup was super easy and quick. Seems super stout. I was worried the added 2 1/2 inches of height added by this would require some adjustments to the pin box. However once hooking up my trailer, no adjustments were necessary. Trailer is almost spot on level, and I am still maintaining 6.5-7 inches of bed side clearance to the trailer.
This is definitely a quality part. I've had it a year, easy to swap between my fifth wheel and gooseneck plate. It installs or comes out easily, it fits securely in my 2023 Silverado 3500. I've pull all of the 25000lbs it's rated for without issue. I highly recommend it. It allowed me to use my fifth wheel and gooseneck plate from my old truck that had rails in it.
I bought a new trailer recently that weighs 16k and I just didn't feel secure using my Reese pro series 16k to Haul with. So I started looking at various hitches. I've had 3 other fifth wheel hitches in the past. All of them have been 15 and 16k models. What I never liked was the latching system. I've even had a trailer come out of the hitch due to a poor latching hook up. There wasn't an good way to lock the hitch. Some of it was my fault and some was a poor design. When I saw the Curt Q20 had a latch on the handle and also was color coded I was hooked. This hitch satisfied my want list. It arrived 4 days after I ordered it and like other comments I've read it was full of heavy duty staples. It was double packaged. There had to be over 50 staples. It was defiantly packaged securely. After dimantaling the packing I finally got to the hitch. There were a few scratches on the hitch from all the staples but a bit of black touch up paint took care of that. After all the hitch is going to be used and get scrached by me anyways. Four bolts and it was together. It fit perfictly it my existing rails. By the way it's heavier than my other hitches. I wound be apprehensive to pull my new trailer. If your looking for a great hitch at a great price you can't go wrong.
Easy assembly, fit well. Works just like it should. Put the hitch at a good level to level 5th wheel.

Good as the day I installed it
Frist order was wrong. Not a happy camper as I was not able to bring my new fifth wheel home the day of purchase. Talked with Joshua at etrailer, he helped me with a new order, it arrived two days earlier than expected. Assemble was easy. waiting to bring new fifth wheel home. Thanks Joshua
Unlike other reviews...I will say that my packages all arrived in perfect condition. (Boxes were all intact). Assembling the Q20 is a breeze and by all appearances this hitch certainly seems to be more than adequate for my needs. I haven't had a chance to actually use it yet...but from what I can tell, I certainly don't expect any issues. I like the way the hitch latches and unlatches, and that you can add a lock to prevent someone from opening the jaws while you are parked somewhere. I think the only thing I'll add is a lock in place of one of the pins...just to make it difficult for someone to remove and steal the hitch.
Easy to assemble and install. Love that it snaps into the puck system in the truck bed and allows me to remove the entire hitch using an electric hoist, easily.
This product has worked perfect for me using with my 2012 Wildcat Sterling 5th wheel. Customer service is the best at etrailer.com. Just love doing business with them!
I have just used the hitch on some very short pulls, nothing long yet. However, I can tell it is much quitter and does not seem to chuck as much as my old hitch. Appears to be very well built. Heavier than the old 15K hitch I had before. The only down I can find right now is that there is not a good place to hook up the emergency stop brake cable. I was able to rig up a connector that works just fine.
I purchased a new GMC and didn't want the rails in the bed of my pickup. This worked great with the 5th wheel hitch that I had.
Fit right in my 2020 GMC Sierra and my Reese 16k 5th Wheel for directly on that with 4 pins.
Very easy install just as described allows me to use same fifth wheel in multiple vehicles.

It has been around a year since my purchase I haven’t had any problems. I’ve only had to remove the hitch once because I needed the full bed of the truck. I was able to assemble it back in the truck just as easy as the first time. The main reason for this purchase was it saved me from having to purchase another hitch and I can remove the hitch and use it in my other truck with standard rails.
Way to go etrailer, my order was received and with in two days my new adapter base for my new truck came in great condition and i installed in less than 15 minutes along with the spider insert I had from my previous purchase it fit like a glove Thank you for a great easy web site with all the info one needs to get the right product your company that has never let me down in my three orders that I’ve made
Work great on my 2023 ford f350. And 38 ft 5th wheel very smooth when driving. Easy to hook up 5th wheel
The holes didn’t line up had to Grid to make bigger and took out the rubber shims. When I watched the video it said the hitch rails would be 2 inches higher than the bed it is 4 inches

I reached out to the manufacturer and they said their product page says the height should be around 2.5 inches. It sounds like your bars were installed upside down or backwards.
Directions were easy to follow and had everything hooked up quickly. As mentioned the adapter raised my hitch 2” so I dropped the 5th wheel hitch down a set of holes (2”).
Super easy to build, locks in place. Towed my 310bh fifth wheel over 4,000 miles on it!!

Have not gotten to tow yet but everything went together fairly easy. One major disappointment was the shipping and the packages were dumped in my driveway. Also it was not clear if I should use the spacers on this while installing the A16 hitch. I tried to get them to fit but could not get the pins to fit so I removed the spacers.
Arrived on time! Excellent tracking for shipping and arrival date. All employees were very helpful, ease to get information, and polite.
Box arrived and package looks good. Looking forward to opening and installation on 2024 GMC sierra 2500HD
Arrived in the time identified, and all materials included. Box was damaged during shipping but packaged well enough that no damage occurred. Installed and got me out a jam caused by a height issue with original hitch installed by dealer causing the trailer to ride nose high. Leveled out and still maintaining the proper clearance between the bed and trailer.
Received today and it was packaged very well. Install took about 20 minutes taking my time. I have not hooked up to my trailer yet but this mount is very stout and fit my 2024 Chevy 3500 HD perfect!

Still satisfied, still recommend. Easy to move hitch in truck as one unit when I need more of the bed available, no further adjustments needed.
