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).

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.

Curt has always been my go to for any thing I needed. I bought a 2018 GMC. I bought a Curt Q25, it did not have the puck system, so I had to buy the mount. I have a 2017 Montana 37ft 5th wheel. the hitch was very easy to use, just back in and it was connected. I replaced the original pin box with a Reese air sidewinder pin box. This added 17 inches to the length. The 18 was a 3/4 ton, I decided to buy a 19 1 ton which had a puck system. I installed the Q25, but after using it, I found out the Reese pin box was not compatable with the Q series. I purchased the A series witch is the proper one.
I have not installed it yet, will be installed this coming week. I called Curt and talked with Alison. She is very knowledgeable abot the Curt line. I ordered it Tuesday, the 21st and received it that Friday afternoon. I want to thank Alison and Curt for all they have done to correct my problem. Thankyou!

I bought the A20 hitch witch is the correct one for my pin box. It was very easy to assemble. It fit right into the GM puck system. Hooking is very easy and fast. It locks with a double claw, once it is connected, the release handle goes back and locks. In the front, there is a green, yellow and red sticker. when it is hitched, it will show green. all you do after is a light pull test, put the pin in the hole, put another pin in that pin, raise your landing gear legs and you are ready for your next adventure.

Excellent service, I ordered my hitch Wednesday around noon, Monday at 3:30 it arrived at my door in good order and was put together and put in my truck very Quickly!
I bought a Chevy 3500 with the new puck system for hitches and that is the reason I ordered the new Curt 20A 5th wheel hitch and it works great !
I have bought from etrailer several times and will order from them again if and when I need trailer products !

I pull a 34 foot Rockwood Signature Ultra Lite 5th wheel with this hitch. It works fantastic. Easy to see from inside the truck when engaged with the kingpin. A little heavy lifting in and out of trailer, otherwise easy to set and lock into bed of truck.

The hitch was everything I expected and exactly as advertised! I have used it for nearly a year pulling a 41’ Keystone Montana and have had zero issues! It is very simple and easy to operate and to take in and out of my truck.

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: Patrick06/19/2023
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: Oz in AZ05/19/2022
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: Chris07/14/2022
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: James08/15/2021
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: William05/06/2024
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: Dave06/19/2020
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.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Fifth Wheel Hitch
- Is it Possible for a Short Bed Chevy Truck with Factory Gooseneck Hitch to Tow Gooseneck TrailerI wish we had something, but we do not have any gooseneck hitch extenders we can offer for the factory gooseneck hitch of your Chevy Silverado. In general it's pretty hard to tow a gooseneck trailer with a short bed truck for this reason. If the trailer happens to have a tapered nose you should be just fine with a standard ball like the part # C60692 which fits the GM rail kit goosneck hitches and also comes with safety chain loops.
view full answer... - Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch For 2017 GMC 3500 with Factory Prep Package PucksFor your 2017 GMC 3500 with factory prep package, the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # C16064 will work great for the size trailer you will be towing. This would be my recommendation for your trailer. You may also want to consider the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector # C56000 to add a second working trailer connection to the bed of your truck for easy access and connection. If you choose to bump up in size for a different...
view full answer... - Comparing Curt A20 and Q20 for 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500 With Pucks and Rotating Pin Box On TrailerI recommend the Curt A-Series over the Curt Q-Series because the Curt A-Series is actually the new and improved version of the Curt Q-Series. The Curt A-Series has a new hitch head that contains interlocking dual jaws which grip the king kin tighter than the dual jaws of the Curt Q-Series therefore provide more security and less chucking/jarring. The tilting mechanism has also changed to further improve ride quality and ease of use. Lastly, both of these hitches should not be used with...
view full answer... - Towing 5th Wheel Trailer with 2017 GMC Sierra 2500 Equipped with Factory Rail KitIt sounds like you have the factory rail kit on your 2017 GMC Sierra 2500 and you are referring to popping out the covers for the 5th wheel pucks that surround the center gooseneck ball hole. If this is not correct please just let me know. If this is the case though then you absolutely can just remove the gooseneck ball, take those covers out, and drop in a 5th wheel hitch that is designed for the rail kit on your truck to pull a 5th wheel trailer. If you have the 8 foot bed I recommend...
view full answer... - Weight of the Curt A-16 Vs A-20 for a 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 with PucksThe total weight of the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16520-16025 is about 150 lbs and the total weight of the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16064 is about 160 lbs. The great thing about the A-Series is that it can be broken down into two pieces for easy removal, the head and the center section/legs. I would go with the A20 for your Grand Design Solitude 310GK due to the extra capacity.
view full answer... - Will RoadActive Suspension Kit Reduce Sag in 2017 GMC Sierra 2500?Though there is not a specific number I can offer, what I can tell you is that the Roadmaster Active Suspension Kit # RAS3611-HD is designed to level your 2017 GMC Sierra 2500 under a maximum 3,000 lb load. So what will happen is you will no longer experience the 1" of sag you said you were encountering, though your trailer will ride an inch higher in front. This is going to be true regardless of the suspension enhancement though there may be a solution. If you haven't already, unbolt...

- How To Measure to Determine Whether Or Not Sliding Hitch is Needed on 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500You can take some measurements to determine whether or not you'll need a sliding hitch. You will measure from the center of the hitch jaws forward to the back of the truck cab and then you'll want to measure the width of the trailer nose. Using the formula: (A+B)-C= Clearance A= distance from center of hitch jaws to cab B= sliding hitch movement (in this case it's 0") C= width of trailer nose divided by 2 (so 1/2 the width) As long as this number is +4 or greater, you'll have the clearance...
