Secure, Interlocking Two-Piece Jaw

A16 Two-Piece Interlocking 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

A16 Color 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).


R16 Slider

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.


Curt rebranded this fifth-wheel trailer hitch by changing its name from Q16 to A16 in 2016. All features and specifications remained the same.

Video Transcript for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch Adapter Rails Installation - 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 3500

Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at eTrailer and today, we're taking a look at the Curt Adaptor Rails for 5th Wheels. Now, this is gonna work for the OEM prep package that we have here on our 2023 Chevy Silverado 3500. The puck system or OEM prep package, as they call it that a lot of newer trucks are seeing are really nice because you can simply drop in a 5th Wheel, but, if you already have a 5th Wheel and it's not compatible, it's normally in a rail system. Well, you can pick up this adapter to make that fifth wheel head work. Now, these are standard rails as far as the industry goes so it's gonna work with most 5th Wheel heads. The only one that really has compatibility issues, is gonna be the BMW Sliding Companion and that's just because of the clearance as it slides.

But that really opens it up to whatever 5th Wheel you may have or be looking at and still be able to hook this up. Now, something to keep in mind, this is gonna add height to the overall height of your 5th Wheel while in the bed, about two and a half inches. So, just something to keep in mind when adjusting your 5th Wheel and checking your trailer to make sure that it lines up perfectly. Now, while we have this on a Silverado it's also gonna work with GMC trucks. So, your Sierras are gonna work perfect as well, but also it has the adjustability to be able to work with the Ford ones, which you sit a little bit wider.

So, if you ever plan on getting a different truck and you still want to keep your same 5th Wheel you can adapt this and drop it into those OEM prep packages. (metal scraping) The handles just lock this into the puck system pretty easily. So, these will just unlock by sliding these out. (metal clanking) (boot thumping) And the great part too is there is some adjustability. So, not all prep packages fit exactly the same little bit of tolerance differences, but with our castle nut and cotter pin system here, we're able to actually adjust it to where you have that perfect tolerance.

Now, the black powder coat finish is gonna be nice, especially if you plan on leaving this in the bed especially uncovered, because that will hold up long term. Keep this from corroding or rusting at least give it a fighting chance for that. Now, this is a pretty heavy-duty kit rated at 25,000 pounds. So, while this is pretty heavy-duty, you also wanna make sure that you're checking the vehicle to make sure that it can handle the weight, and also you're only as good as your 5th Wheel. So, between all of those three components take the lowest of those numbers so you stay safe.

Now, this is pretty easy to assemble. It's pretty straightforward and can be done about 15 minutes with minimal hand tools. So, let's take a look at that so you can get yours installed. Gone ahead and laid out my parts and that way we can start assembling this. And it looks like, as far as tools go, it's gonna be pretty simple. A 3/4 inch socket, a 15/16 socket, a torque wrench, and a plier for our cotter pins. So we're gonna start here on the left side and I've just laid these out. So you'll see that one edge goes all the length of it. That's gonna be the inside of our rail. So, the way I have it laid out is the way that it's going to sit once we have it mounted up. We're going to slide over our spacer and you'll see that one side is gonna be thicker than the top side here, as I have it laid out. So, we'll slide, (metal clanking) we'll have the larger portion down here by the head of our bolt. This is going to fit right here. (metal clanking) We're gonna grab our side-specific handle, and you're gonna know that it's the proper one. You want the handle kind of to where this top portion faces or is at the same height here of our rail. And, there's this little notch that's our stop. So you should be able to move this, and this will kind of go in this center portion, that whole line up. Now, if it's not able to move, then you're gonna wanna swap that handle to the other one, and then we'll finish this up with a flat washer and our castle nut. I'm gonna go ahead and get this threaded down. And you don't wanna go too crazy here. I just hand did that. And so you still want to have some mobility here so you can kind of, loosen it up a little if you need to. (metal scraping) You wanna be able to slide this pretty easily and if you crank it down, you're gonna lose that. So, we do need to align it with the hole in the bolt. So find that sweet, happy medium of being able to move the handle, but still get your cotter pin through. So, I'm gonna go back one here And I'm happy with that. So, we'll go ahead and grab our cotter pin. (metal scraping) I may have to turn this here, but we'll feed this in and then pry out our ends, and that way it's gonna hold that in place. So, normally just a set of needle nose here will work well. Slide this down (hands tumbling) (metal clinking) and then as we bend both ends back, that should lock it in place. So with this one in place, we'll just go ahead and repeat for the other remainder ones again. Just making sure that our handles are able to actuate. Now, if you have your puck covers, you're gonna want to go ahead, take those out, and we're gonna drop this in. So with my handles kind of at a 90 here from our rail (metal clunking) we'll go ahead and get these tightened down (metal scraping) and then we'll align this hole here. And then we can put our linchpin in place, (metal clanking) and we'll just snap this in place. And then we'll go ahead and get our other side in as well. So now grab one of your rails, and you'll see the slots here for the 5th Wheel. You want that facing towards you. And then we'll line this up. (metal clunking) And on the GM trucks they're gonna be using the third and fifth hole. It should line up pretty well centered so you should know you have it in the right spot. We'll then take our carriage bolts and pass it through. (metal scraping) (metal chinking) Now in getting these in, if the tolerances are pretty tight and it's not wanting to pass through perfectly. What you can do is take that linchpin off. I loosen this side up and you're gonna want to get your outside ones in first. And that should align the middle ones a little bit better because if you do these two first, you might be a little bit off here. (metal clanging and scraping) Now once we have both of our rails in the front and back with all the carriage bolts passed through we'll go ahead and take our serrated flange nuts, and I'm gonna just hand tighten these on for now. (metal screw scraping) So, now we're gonna come back with our 3/4 inch socket and using the torque settings found in the instruction manual, I'm gonna torque all of these down properly. (socket crunching) If you need a torque wrench we have them available here at etrailer. You can generally go to an auto parts store and rent one for free. (socket crunching continues) Now, we'll just go ahead and repeat for the remainder of the hardware. So, you can see I have my Curt E16 5th Wheel that we just dropped into the rails, and I can go and grab a different 5th wheel and do all the same. All that's left to do is pin it in place through the rails and then we're ready to hit the road. And that was a look at the Curt Adapter Rails for OEM prep packages on a 2023 Chevy Silverado 3500.

Curt A16 5th Wheel Hitch w/ R16 Slider for Ford and Chevy/GMC Prep Package- Dual Jaw - 16K - C39PV

Average Customer Rating:  5.0 out of 5 stars   (1 Customer Reviews)

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. OEM adapter rails included.

by:

Like some other posts, followed instructions to the letter and hitch would not drop into rails. Loosened all the rails bolts, mounted hitch, and re-torqued everything. Puck mounting brackets were just off square a bit and twisted the rails when first installed. Either square ‘em up or alter instructions so it goes in first time. Installed in a 2022 Silverado 2500 6’10” bed. Loved the plan, set the rails first time in a few minutes (instead of waiting in a shop for four hours while someone else did the boring and cutting and such). Hitch has been in two other trucks with conventional rails and always fit. Coulda been a five star, but I am familiar with Curt and feel sure they will get it right.

Purchased a 2024 Silverado 3500 set up for 5th wheel with the PUCK connections. My previous truck had ISR rails and the PullRite SuperGlide 5th wheel hitch. The Curt adaptor is the perfect solution to avoid buying a whole new hitch.
The package arrived in good condition and on time. Upon opening the box I was extremely surprised how well it was packed, each corner had a metal bracket, there was a piece of plywood on the bottom and top and foam separating the parts.
The install was fairly easy, read the instructions, Chevy is one way, Ford another. The PUCK locking mechanism make a nice tight connection with very little adjustment needed. The rails fit in nicely and the bolts went in well, torqued as required.
I have not yet attached the PullRite hitch but if it fit the Curt ISR rails on the previous truck it should fit this one. With the Chevy 2500 I had, between the squat and ISR rail setup the 5th wheel was slightly lower in the front. With this Chevy 3500 suspension and the adaptor being about 2" higher I expect the camper to be level or slightly higher in front which works.
Very nice adaptor if you have the need, better than changing out a perfectly good hitch.



by:

Love the hitch, slider's OK, my truck hates them though. It'd probably be fine in a different vehicle but The "acceptable play" in the slider mechanism is at a resonance to my truck and camper creating a vicious front-back oscillation hitting rough surfaces. After addressing several other issues and the problem persists. Finally, I 3D Printed bushings to eliminate the play which almost completely eliminates the oscillation. On the bright side, Curt and etrailer are working with me on it.



by:

Incredible fast shipping. Very easy installation. And all went together as it should. Some of the YouTube I seen said bolts were hard to get in place so I was prepared for it but to my delight all fit perfectly and it came mostly built with puck handles already built. All I did was attach cross bars. Very happy with everything so far but haven't towed on it yet.



by:

It was very easy to assemble and install. Maybe 10 minutes because I had to grab a wrench. It was also in question if it would work with other brands and in my case no problem working with my Reese hitch. It as able to email correspond and have my questions answered very quickly.



by:

1st off, customer service was Awesome, the ladies Ashley & Kim knew what they were talking about when helping me order my hitch.
Installation was fairly easy, would help if you had a 2nd person but I got it done.
The 1 thing that might be an issue is the height of the hitch when added with the height of the mount. I am hoping the new trailers kingpin will adjust low enough so the trailer rides level.
For the hitch itself, I like it so far, can't wait to see how the full wrap around jaws works.
I would recommend etrailer to anyone that needs a hitch.
Gave ot 4 stars only for the fact I have not pulled with it yet.



by:

Really wanted to give this 5 stars but it appears they didn’t try it with a hitch like mine. The flanges on the cross supports do not allow my hitch to seat down onto the support tubes. Thus the hitch holes will not line up with the tube holes and the pins cannot be inserted. I fixed it by taking a sledge hammer to the ears on my hitch until the holes aligned. I shouldn’t need to do that to something this expensive.



by:

This rail adapter work like i wanted it to. Saved us from having to purchase a New 5th hitch



by:

The Curt A16 5th wheel w/ R16 slider is a great looking hitch. I received the hitch on May 11, 2023, replacing an older Reese 15K hitch with a slider lock bar. It was easy to finish the assembly and install. I immediately took my fifth wheel out, using the new hitch with the dual jaw locking system. The ride was amazing. The RV, which weighs approximately 10,000 pounds, loaded, did not buck or rattle, and responded perfectly to the turns, acceleration and deceleration with no issue. It was if there was nothing behind me.
The only issue with the Curt A16 is the height. At its lowest setting, the nose of the trailer was up too high. However, by raising the tongue of the RV to its highest setting, I was able to remedy most of that issue. I am looking forward to my trips this year with the new hitch!



by:

Have not gotten to tow yet but everything went together fairly easy. One major disappointment was the shipping and the packages were dumped in my driveway. Also it was not clear if I should use the spacers on this while installing the A16 hitch. I tried to get them to fit but could not get the pins to fit so I removed the spacers.



by:

Great product. Bought a new F250 with puck system and this product adapted my hitch to the puck system. I did have to drop the head of my hitch because the adapter raises it 2.5 inches. Feet on my Curt A16 fit right into the rails on adapter.



by:

So far it works great. Only pulled in a short distance and backed it up into my driveway. Make sure you have help lifting this. Very Very heavy. Directions were average but got the job done. Love the extra turning radius on my short bed F250. Make sure all the parts are there. The handle to release the king pin off the hitch was not in the packaging. The box that the hitch and slide came in were all in tacked and looked good. Emailed etrailer and within a few hours they sent were processing the order for the handle. Arrived in 2 days. That's great customer service.



by:

After purchasing a new truck, I needed an adapter for the Chevy puck system without buying the entire 5th wheel hitch, this fit the bill. Heavily built and easy to install. The only thing I would recommend is to use larger cotter pins because the ones that came with assembly would not engage the castle nuts.



by:

The hitch works great for us pulling our 5th wheel camper.



by:

Ram 2500/3500 fit issue. If you purchase this slider hitch and Curt OEM puck system rails (which is a package recommended on the website), this hitch will sit nearly at the same level as your bed rails at the lowest height setting. This makes the front of the 5th wheel sit quite high. I tried adjusting my pin box to make this work, but no luck. This setup won’t work for my Ram 2500. Due to restock fees and having to pay for return shipping costs, it’s not worth trying to return.

On a positive note etrailer.com is a great place to purchase truck and trailer parts, so don’t hesitate to purchase from them once you find the right hitch for your Ram.



by:

This is a solid hitch. I pulled my 34 foot 5th wheel last weekend and really liked it. I had the Pullrite auto slider before. not a fan of that hitch. One thing i did notice with this hitch on top the Ram adapter for the puck system is my RV sits up 1 1/2 to 2 inches higher. With the ISR that is lower. Other than that i love it.



by:

Bought a new truck with the factory puck system because I wanted a full bed floor, so this was needed so I could use my 5 th wheel hitch



by:

It fit perfectly in my F250 Super Duty, had to adjust the lugs that go into the bed that was easy, my hitch fit no problem, haven’t hooked the fifth wheel up yet removed it to check the ease worked great



by:

Easy install! Fits perfect! 2024 Silverado 2500. Still had room to close the hard cover.



by:

Kim was fantastic. My 20000 husky 5th wheel 15 years old fit right in the rails. That was our only concern.
Packaging was the best I have ever seen. Thanks Kim and e-trailer for the curt puck system adapter for my new 2024 denali 3500.



by:

Assembly and setup was super easy and quick. Seems super stout. I was worried the added 2 1/2 inches of height added by this would require some adjustments to the pin box. However once hooking up my trailer, no adjustments were necessary. Trailer is almost spot on level, and I am still maintaining 6.5-7 inches of bed side clearance to the trailer.



by:

This is definitely a quality part. I've had it a year, easy to swap between my fifth wheel and gooseneck plate. It installs or comes out easily, it fits securely in my 2023 Silverado 3500. I've pull all of the 25000lbs it's rated for without issue. I highly recommend it. It allowed me to use my fifth wheel and gooseneck plate from my old truck that had rails in it.



by:

Easy to put together, good quality parts, went right into the back of the truck just like it was supposed to. The BW 5th wheel hitch that I had matched right up. I did have to lower the plate 1 bolt hole but that was no big deal. Overall I am very satisfied with this.



by:

Easy assembly, fit well. Works just like it should. Put the hitch at a good level to level 5th wheel.



by:

Easy to assemble and install. Love that it snaps into the puck system in the truck bed and allows me to remove the entire hitch using an electric hoist, easily.

    Since you have a shorter bed you'll want to go with a sliding fifth wheel hitch to give yourself some extra turning clearance during tight turns. You'll also need to know the GVWR of the trailer to choose the correct capacity hitch.

  • Can Curt CrossWing 5th Wheel Hitch be Used With Turning Point Pin Box
    You'll need a wedge, but the Turning Point pin box is compatible with the Curt CrossWing Lightweight 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C86JR.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for use w/ a Turning Point Pin Box and the Ford Factory Puck System
    Congrats on all your new toys! I do not think a Curt 5th wheel hitch, like item # C16120, is the best for your set up. You would need to purchase an adapter rail item # C88KR to use this hitch with your puck system. This adds weight, cost, and complication to installing and removing the hitch so you can have full access to your bed. This combo weighs 193 lbs. A way better option, and what I highly recommend, is to use the B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch item # BWRVK3300. This 5th wheel...

  • Troubleshooting Bedrail Clearance When Installing A Curt A16 Hitch In A 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500
    If you use an adapter like the Curt # C88KR instead of replacing the legs on your Curt A16 # C16120 your hitch will sit 2-1/2" higher to offset the height of the 24's bedrails. The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3710 you referenced does have a top height of 18-3/4" if you'd rather replace the hitch, but it really just comes down to how much you'd like to spend.

The short answer is no you do not have to use a slide type hitch.

  • Upgrading From Curt E16 to A16 on Ram 2500
    I'm assuming you have adapter rails like # C29BR in your Ram 2500 puck system which are industry standard rails.
