Heavy-duty 5th-wheel trailer hitch has interlocking jaws, a torsion head, and a color-coded lock indicator for safety and security. Non-binding slider ensures proper clearance during slow turns. Rails and universal installation kit sold separately.
Features:
Specs:
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.
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).
Most often used on trucks with 6' and 6-1/2' beds, this roller helps to eliminate clearance problems during slow-speed turns. When you are towing a fifth-wheel trailer, your hitch must be situated on the cab side of your truck's rear axle. However, at slow speeds you can use a roller to slide the fifth-wheel hitch (and the trailer) toward your truck's tailgate and past the rear axle, creating enough space between the cab of your truck and the trailer to permit less-restricted turning.
Non-Binding Design
The round-tube design of this slider allows for relatively uninhibited movement of your fifth-wheel hitch. Because your hitch can glide smoothly and easily along the rods, there is less chance of binding.
With straight, flat contact points, as found with square-tube sliders, tension can build between the slider and the hitch when your truck and trailer are somewhat out of line or are on uneven ground. As a result, it can be difficult to properly activate the slider when your truck and trailer are not in a straight line.
With a round-tube slider, there is more give between the contacting surfaces, allowing better mobility of the hitch system. Fewer corners means less tension buildup. Activating a round-tube slider is easier, and operation as a whole is smoother.
This adapter is specially designed to attach to the receivers in your Dodge Ram's factory, underbed 5th-wheel towing prep package. The base then provides the attachment point for your Curt 5th-wheel legs or roller.

Heavy-duty 5th-wheel trailer hitch has interlocking jaws, a torsion head, and a color-coded lock indicator for safety and security. Non-binding slider ensures proper clearance during slow turns. Rails and universal installation kit sold separately. This adapter is specially designed to attach to the receivers in your Dodge Ram's factory, underbed 5th-wheel towing prep package. The base then provides the attachment point for your Curt 5th-wheel legs or roller.it fit perfectly in my RAM 2500 2022 , it reduce the height by 3.5 inch from my original roller Curt set up, since I have air suspension in the back I will simply said be careful when you disconnect because the back of the pick up spring upward when load is removed. The reason I switch was the high of the roller sytem and the puck was way too high for my fifth wheel.
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.
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.
Fits like a glove. From the time UPS dropped it off it took 45 minutes to have it installed in the truck and we were hooked up to go camping, which we did! Thanks to the team for getting it shipped asap! 2020 Ram 2500 with the factory puck system.
Great solution when moving to a truck with the puck system. This was cheaper than buying rails,brackets, and install costs, and when removed the bed is clean.
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.
EASY installation with Ram OEM puck system, needed very little adjusting.
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.
Heavier than expected (95#) shipping weight. Which is a good thing. The description probably said that but I didn’t pay attention. The only warning I would give I’d that this with add 3.25” or so of height to your hitch. If you don’t have the adjustment in your set up you may want to look for something a little lower profile. I’m happy with the purchase and very happy with etrailer. Very fast shipping and good prices.
Easy to install worked like it should, in 2023 Ram 3500
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.
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
Easy installation good quality

Awesome
E Trailer is a professional business place with exceptional customer support. Tammie answered all of my questions and walked me through the ordering process. The items arrived in 3 business days as promised. Thank you
First time using etrailer. Service was great and I could track my items as they were packaged, shipped,and delivered. I have hauled for 1 season with the new hitch and have zero complaints with the operation of it. I would recommend watching a video on how to put it together as parts of the installation instructions were vague.
The product arrived 1 day earlier than promised. The instructions were decent, they could of been more inclusive of the different setups, the hitch and sliders didn’t reference how to interface with the Ram puck base. The rubber gaskets for the slider base didn’t fit with the Ram base due to their thickness. You need a 100lbs torque wrench(I rented one from Orielys). All the parts were present. The bad may not of been etrailers fault, but the boxes arrived like they were dropped out of an airplane. Amazingly, nothing was damaged.
Very nice rail set up that you can remove when not in use, works great with my Anderson Hitch that was set up for a rail set up on my new 2022 Ram 3500. Also has slots for the chain hooks.
A bit difficult to get safely secured at first, after I figured that part out everything works as it should, thankful there was an alternative so I didn’t have to purchase a new hitch
I have only installed the hitch and tried it out in my driveway. Have not had he opportunity to use it on the road and see how much it improves my maneuverability. But Curt hitches are very well built units. I only upgraded from my previous one to go to the slider hitch and this hitch appears to work just as well and also appears that the slider is going to give me the added maneuverability that I was looking for. Heavy and not quite as easy to put in and take out of my truck is my only complaint so far.
Heavy but very easy to adjust and put together. Fit without rattling or any issues. Used with a BW Patriot slider 29” wide on the attaching points.
Installed Curt A20 hitch w/slider rails in 2016 Chevrolet Z71 2500
Item came in with packing box destroyed, but luckily all parts were there in good shape.
