Does the Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch Come with Instructions and Hardware for Installation
Question:
Does the Curt A20 you have for sale come complete with hardware and installation instructions? Mounting on a 2012 Ford F-350

Expert Reply:
The Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16140 comes with instructions and all of the hardware needed to install on Industry Standard Base Rails. If you already have base rails installed on your 2012 Ford F-350 then you are good to go. If you have the factory rail kit then you will need to go with the A20 part # C16034.
If you have no base rails or the factory rail kit installed on your F-350 then I recommend the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit for Ford # C16424-204 which is compatible with the A20 part # C16140.
These options are for the 8 foot bed. Should you have the 6-3/4 foot bed you will instead want to use the sliding version of the A20 # C16541 for standard base rails, or the sliding Q20 # C16530-16020 for the factory rail kit.
Lastly, if you do not already have a 7-Way installed in the bed of your F-350 then I recommend getting the Barman # 50-97-410 which will make connecting and disconnecting your trailer much easier and quicker.
