Heavy-duty fifth-wheel trailer hitch has interlocking jaws and a color-coded lock indicator for superb safety and security. Torsion head offers easy hookup and quiet, stable towing. Legs mount to Ram OEM underbed platform.
Features:
Specs:
Note: This fifth-wheel hitch is compatible with rotating pin boxes, such as the Reese Sidewinder, Reese Revolution, and 5th Airborne Sidewinder, only when used with a wedge (sold separately).
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).
Curt rebranded this fifth-wheel trailer hitch by changing its name from Q16 to A16 in 2016. All features and specifications remained the same.

Heavy-duty fifth-wheel trailer hitch has interlocking jaws and a color-coded lock indicator for superb safety and security. Torsion head offers easy hookup and quiet, stable towing. Legs mount to Ram OEM underbed platform.The hitch installed just as the video from Curt demonstrated. I suggest watching it before getting started as will make the process easier. I have not used it yet but I’m very pleased with the fit and quality of the build. I will adjust my review as needed once I have towed with it.
This 5th wheel hitch works just as well as it did the first time I used it.
Excellent product. Easy to assemble upon receipt. Hitch head can be removed from body to lighten the weight for removal from truck bed.
Hitch works great with toy hauler. No problems at all.
The hitch has worked very well and the swivel head makes for a smooth ride. My only complaint is that the stickers that indicate locked positions. Faded after a month and are now white.....but not a big deal.
Have been waiting for a 5th mount for my 2014 RAM that wasn't over priced. The price point is great and the mount is much better than I thought it would be, for quality.
I was able to install it in under an hour.
The manual that came with it was clear and easy to follow.
BTW Ashley , the person I spoke to on the phone realy knew what she was doing and what questions to ask to make sure I bought the correct hitch and would be happy with it. Thank You Ashley!

I have really been enjoying the Curt 5th wheel hitch. Easy to install and remove. Great quality and instructions that are easy to understand. I looked at hitches that cost a lot more but didnt offer anymore than the Curt.I put off buying a 5th wheel hitch for about 2 years because the one that fit my truck from RAM was about three times to cost!I also found out that the hitch is made about 30 miles from my home
The product I ordered was fairly priced and explained well. I received my order within three days. The product came carefully packaged and was easy to install myself. I am very pleased with the buying experience using etrailer.com.

The product is working very well and am happy with the purchase.
it works good i dont like that you can't unhook your trailer in less the truck is perfectly straightforward .you can't remove safety pin on handle so to get around that issue before I park i turn pin upside down and remove it from the bottom of handle
Easy accurate ordering. Assembly was simple, install was perfect. Matched up exact to the Ram Factory setup. Only thing I needed to do was adjust one T-Bolt. Be prepared, it is heavy. Almost too much for one person.

This hitch allows the head to be removed by puling a single pin, which allows the head and the base to be removed individually. This will make things a little easier to handle for you.
I have this hitch in a 2016 2500 Ram 6.7L diesel.
I am pulling a 12,000 lb 5th wheel and don't have the chatter that I had before with a different hitch. This is a very strong hitch.
The only negative that I have on this hitch is that it is difficult to close the hitch jaws when the hitch is not in use. It anyone else has had the same problem and has found a cure for this please let others know what you are doing.
Happy towing.
Before I order my 5th wheel hitch from etrailer. Talked with some friends that had 5th wheel campers. The Curt A16 was the best for me. So glad it's the one I bought. My truck has the pug system. Hitch was easy to install
Product was very easy and straight forward to install. Great price on this. Lighting shipping as always with Etrailer.
It's Important to have a second hand as I fumbled with it myself hunched down in the garage due to rain. This item assembled weighs 178lbs. Not easy to dead lift on your knees. Due to time constraint on my part I had to do it all by myself. Work safely. As it's important to know how to use leverage to move weight. Take your time. That is the most important part. Double check your work. Even when coupling and uncoupling.
Hook up is easy. Make sure your tail gate is off or down when coupling and uncoupling. Save dents/damage in your tail gate. Make sure to put the safety pin in the handle to keep it from uncoupling going down the road.
It will be used to pull a 5th wheel camper to campgrounds, Florida and South Dakota to visit family and friends a couple times a year.
Delivery was fast less than a week,product work for application. Install was straight forward took 45 min or so once I figured out what the direction we're trying to explain. Have a 20015 2500 Ram with factory pucks fit was real easy. Think the direction could have been clearer with better illistration. Have 2014 Cougars high Mt. 33ft needed to set the hitch at lowest level on mount but think it will work just fine. Bought c16520_c16021
Wish I would have gotten this first I was told that I could use my old fifth wheel with pitchers frame adaptor but when I install it it made the hitch sit to high for the trailer and would not work with my old fifth wheel hitch.
The order process was easy and customer service was great. The hitch fits perfectly in the Ram factory hitch pucks and has performed well on several trips up and down the Blue Ridge mountains towing our 5th wheel.
well built hitch. Was packaged well looked like it was rolled to my house instead of trucked ,but had no damage or even scratches on it. Was easy to install in pieces. It is heavy, cant get the head to come off the base. The pin comes out easy, but the rubber bushing is real tight in it. It may loosen up with some use. Overall a nice hitch, hooks and unhooks nice an easy.
Great product. Installed easily and looks great. Besides missing a couple of washers, everything about the purchase was seamless. The etrailer people are great to work with.

Still works great..
Great fifth wheel hitch for dodge ram with puck system. Hitch arrived right on schedule as etrailer stated with free shipping. The hitch was easy to assemble and lets you know when the hitch is secure by the color coded system it has. I am very confident towing with hitch and etrailer had the best price around.
A very solid but easy to handle hitch. Not difficult to lock in to the truck bed and hook up is a snap. I feel very secure hauling with this hitch.
Purchased for a 2016 Ram 3500 long bed with the factory installed puck system. The Curt hitch works great.
The hitch arrived faster than I expected and the packages were in great shape.
I'll see how the installation goes, but I'm pretty sure that it will be great.

The hitch has been great with no issues and its easy to put in and out of the puck system. I highly recommend it!
Great hitch, works perfectly, a breeze to hitch to and unhitch, love the indicator colors to let you know what position the hitch is in.
etrailer experts were very helpful with my questions on the hitch that would work in my situation. The free shipping came in four days and everything was packed very well and product was in perfect condition. The price of there products and great service were top notch! I will use them for everything I will need in the future
Ordered and received it in only three days awesome. Very easy to put together I did it right after a back procedure. Hooked into my 2016 Ram mega cab in bed mounting system like a dream. Have already recommended etrailer and Curt two other trailer owners
Every thing went well
the adjustment for the locks to my truck were just about perfect.

Hitch is as advertised. It works very well and is easy to hitch and unhitch. Grease zerks are hard to get to on the jaws, but couldnt be happier.
