Comparing The Curt Q20 To The Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch
Question:
What is the difference between a Q20 hitch and an A20 hitch?
asked by: James
Helpful Expert Reply:
The Curt A20 # C16140 and Curt Q20 # C16130 are very similar 5th wheel hitches with the A20 being the more recent addition. The major difference is the A20 has interlocking jaws to further secure your king pin as opposed to the Q20 jaw locking system that do not interlock. This interlocking design is intended to give you more king pin contact on all sides for less jarring and chucking.
The A20 also has less zerk fittings to grease and only requires 1 pin to be removed so that you can remove the head. It has a lockable handle that self-resets to the ready-to-couple position after the trailer is uncoupled.
I've attached a couple video reviews for more help, but those are the major differences as there are far more similarities.
