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

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).


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 How to Install the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch on a 2019 Ford F-150

Hey everybody, Ryan here at etrailer. Today on our 2019 Ford F-150 we're gonna be checking out the Curt A16 5th wheel hitch. Nowadays these half-ton trucks are really capable and so people are really, you know, putting 'em through the paces, towing a lot of heavy stuff around and whatnot. So if you have a fifth wheel type trailer, whether it's a camper or something else, you're gonna need a way to pull it and that's exactly what this is gonna help you do. So this is gonna be a fixed mount one, meaning that it's just going to drop into your in-bed rails. These are Curt rails but it's kind of an industry standard.

You know, if you have other manufacturers of rails, chances are really, really good this is still just gonna kind of drop into place and work out there. Being that it's fixed, that kind of, you know, brings me to my next point. So on our truck, this is only 5 1/2 foot bed so it's a really short bed and a lot of times what I usually recommend is a sliding type hitch, right That way when you make turns and stuff the hitch will go back and give you the cab clearance that you need. That way your trailer don't swing around and end up making contact with your cab corner, damaging the truck and the trailer. But what our customer's doing today is his trailer actually has one of those rotating pin boxes.

I believe it's the Reese Sidewinder. So that's how he can get away with using a fixed one. So this hitch is compatible with those rotating pin boxes. So the side of the hitch and the truck moving, the pin box on the camper will. Now if you have a long bed, really don't need to worry about any of that, right A fixed type hitch is gonna work out just fine.

This particular hitch is gonna be rated for 16,000 pounds so probably more than enough for the F-150, but if you like to go a little overkill, there's a 20,000 pound version of this available as well. The head of it articulates and does have a little bit of movement in there just to help absorb some of that road shock and trucking and things like that and making it easier to hook up, you know. So when you back up, this can kind of move around, you know, and kind of guide itself around that king pin on your trailer. And that's gonna kind of bring me to my next point. This has a dual jaw type design, so it's open right now but maybe I can reach over and close it.

And this thing is, it's no joke here. Whenever that's locked around the king pin, you can see it's super strong. It's no joke. It's going to have complete 360 degree contact and that's gonna really create a secure and good connection, kind of giving you some peace of mind there whenever you're towing your trailer down the road. The hitch head is gonna be adjustable. So I believe there's three different adjustments. You know, you can raise it up or down depending on your trailer and how high your truck sits and everything else. Kind of dial that in and get it as level as possible whenever you're towing. Right now we have it in the middle position and I'm letting you know that because a lot of people ask about Tonneau covers, right And if they're gonna be able to use one and not have to bother at taking the hitch in an out. And you should be in pretty good shape regardless of what Tonneau cover you have. On our truck today, we having one of these roll up ones, pretty common. And this at, even in the middle position and this over it, there's still, I mean, a ton of space here. So even if this was up a few more inches, you'd still have plenty of clearance and in most cases, in most Tonneau covers you shouldn't have anything to worry about. If in the off season, if you don't want this hitch back here, you're not gonna plan on using it for a while, you know, you can pull it in and out, which I'm not gonna lie, these things are pretty heavy. Thankfully though, this one, the actual, the head comes off of it separately. So you can remove those. This'll pop out. So you can get that out of the way and then pull the base out. And both of these independently are pretty manageable together. It's not the easiest thing to do. So by being able to break it apart like that, you know, it kind of turns a two man job into a one-man job. Other than that, you know, a nice hitch, it's well built. I like how it looks. Has kind of that flat black, matte black finish to it. You know, I really can't ask for too much more. Relatively lightweight when you break 'em apart and, you know, something you really can't go wrong with. Honestly, you know what our neighbor did here today, kind of got the whole package, which makes sense on an F-150, you know, pulling a big camper around. He got the Curt rails, he got our Curt in-bed wiring. He even went and did Air Lift airbags and a compressor. So I feel like all that stuff together, he should be really happy with and make his towing experience a comfortable and good one. I do wanna say that, I wanna emphasize this again, if you got a short bed like this and your trailer doesn't have one of those rotating pin boxes on it, it's really important to find a sliding type hitch. I just don't wanna see anyone pop this in their truck, make that turn and end up damaging anything. So a sliding one or that rotating pin box is going to alleviate any of those issues. And that'll finish up our look at of the Curt A16 5th wheel hitch in our 2019 Ford F-150..

Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Dodge Ram - Dual Jaw - 16,000 lbs - C66EV

Average Customer Rating:  4.7 out of 5 stars   (600 Customer Reviews)

Tow up to 16,000 lbs with this heavy-duty fifth-wheel trailer hitch. Interlocking jaws and a color-coded lock indicator provide safety. Torsion head offers easy hookup and quiet, stable towing. Rails and installation kit included.

I purchased both the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 16,000 lbs - C16120, and Reese Pull Pin Lock Plates for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - Qty 4 - RP58093 for my F350 SD 4X4 Crew Cab Long Bed. I'm pulling a 30' Retro 5th. Wheel and at times I pull my tandem axle UTV Trailer (Double Trailers) . I already had the rails installed in my truck, this fit right in and I used the new Pins and Lock Plates for securing to truck. I have pulled all over from South Dakota and the Northwest. The Hitch has performed Flawlessly. No bucking, nor clunking. Very quiet and smooth ride. I would recommend this set up to anyone for convenience of Hook up and Disconnect, Excellent towing, quiet, and the security of the lock pins. I use Disc locks to prevent access for bolt cutters.



by:

I was fully expecting a hitch in excess of 100 pounds to show up in a destroyed box. This did not. They had taken the Time and effort to cover the box with an additional layer of cardboard and it must have had a million staples in it. It was almost comical, you will need a crowbar or large screwdriver to get it open. However, when I did finally get the package open I found a perfectly un scratched hitch with no missing parts. I have not pulled with the hitch yet but , it does look like it is going to perform great. I'm using this in a 2006 ram 2500 4x4 short bed pulling a 2015 forest river Salem and it allows 91 degrees of turning due to the clipped corners on the front cap of the trailer. I will be curious to see how long the rubber isolators last before needing replaced and if they are readily available. Also the curt sticker on the hitch was peeling off when I took it out of the box, would be nice to get that replaced.



by:

Work great on my 2023 ford f350. And 38 ft 5th wheel very smooth when driving. Easy to hook up 5th wheel



by:

Purchased this hitch, install kit, and wiring harness for a new to me 2015 F-250. After watching the installation video and reviewing the included instructions the install went smoothly. The only deviation from the instructions was instead of using a unibit to drill the 9/16" holes in the bed I used a Rotobroach hole cutter(the holes are cleaner and the bit does not drift. I hooked in to my fifth wheel for the first time on Saturday.



by:

The hitch was simple to install. I also purchased the custom brackets to bolt the rails to the frame. Everything lined up exactly as it should. No drilling on the frame!!! I will review the hitch once I get more use out of it. It looks great though.



by:

Installation of the Curt C16443-204 custom rail kit was a snap on my 2000 F350 dually. The instructions were pretty generic but not to hard to figure out. Once in place it was easy to line line everything up to fit the hitch in and tighten everything down.



by:

Extremely pleased with the rails and hitch purchased from etrailer! The video and printed directions were very informative. One caveat though, the bolts inside the frame on the custom kit (2017Chevy 2500hd) are tough, 2 people are needed. We used magnet rods. The hitch(Curt A16) is great but the shipping was FANTASTIC. Ordered on 4/29 and received on 5/1. 2 days!!! Thank you Jane S. and etrailer!!



by:

Adam E provided invaluable assistance with part numbers, availability and compatibility. The order shipped the same day and I have now received it earlier than I had expected. Thanks

I send a product review and picture once I have completed installation.



by:

Excellent entry level hitch for the novice camper. Versatile with sliders and puck applications.



by:

Great product, even better customer service, fast shipping, and a great price, installation was easy about 20 minutes, mounted on Reese mounting plate also from etrailer.



by:

It was easy to install and very solid, i towed my 16,000 5th wheel and it road very nice



by:

Easy install great product love the interlocking jaws I can’t wait to tow with it thank you E trailer for a great used part well worth it with one little scratch on would buy a used product from etrailer anytime



by:

Hitch arrived two days after I ordered it! It was a breeze to assemble and install. Coupling and uncoupling is much simpler and the red-yellow-green indicators are a real plus. The first time I used it to tow, I was amazed at how much less movement there was of the kingpin in the jaws compared to my previous hitch.



by:

Towed with it for the first time. Had a Curt Q20 a few years ago, the A series Curt is much easier to use for hitching/unhitching. Very smooth towing, didn’t notice any chucking or loud noises in use. Very pleased with purchase. Not difficult to assemble and since I have the fixed hitch version (long bed truck) it’s manageable getting the hitch out of the bed in parts.



by:

The hitch worked great, hooked and unhooked with ease.



by:

Unit appears solid and well built. Unit feels and appears well built. Nothing about the craftsmanship seems cheap or shoddy. Everything that moves is crisp and tight. There are no rattles or loose components. I feel confident towing with this hitch. If I have not towed with it yet. The hitch has a sleek strong appearance as opposed to my Superglide on a previous truck that took up a lot of bed space.

I had to assemble the unit. Instructions seemed unclear in regard to the handle assembly. With deliberate inspection, I was able to figure it out. Legs were easy to bolt on with assistance. I am happy with this hitch. Website said I needed to purchase a line plate separately. I forgot to get one but it didn't matter because one (plastic disk) was included with the hitch.

I paid for the shipping upgrade to ensure the hitch arrived before hurricane Mathew. I placed my order at night and eTrailer provided me with a tracking number the following morning. Shipping time said 3-5 days. I ordered late night on a Monday and unit arrived on Thursday afternoon. I'm very satisfied with my purchase and experience with this website.



by:

The hitch was packed well. Direction for the hitch was explained well also. Thank you for helping me make the right choice. I won’t be trying to tow till may. I will text you more info at that time



by:

Works great, easy to remove.



by:

Works well I just have to get used to operating it



by:

Customer service for product selection and order entry were excellent and focused on my interests and needs. The hitch, custom installation kit, and harness were shipped very quickly and arrived sooner than expected. Everything arrived in excellent condition. Assembly and installation instructions were very clear and specific, and I was able to assemble and install everything with no problems and in a very reasonable amount of time. Total cost was roughly half of what it would have been if I had purchased the products and had them installed by a dealer. I am very satisfied with my experience dealing with etrailer.com, and would highly recommend them to anyone shopping for towing products.



by:

The only problem I encountered was with UPS. First, they ignored a request not to deliver early and second they left my hitch on the porch where it was rained on....

The Curt Hitch was exactly as promised and the earliest installation I have done in a long time. It was simple and quick to install and fit my existing rails without a hitch (no pun intended). It will be a couple of weeks before I will be able to test it but it is a great looking hitch and looks like it will live up to all the reviews.

etrailer shipped this quick! I received notification that it would be delivered the next day and I did not purchase one day service and assumed it would not be delivered until after the holidays. The is the reason I contacted UPS and paid to have the service date changed, which UPS ignored and delivered anyways. I strongly recommend etrailer and will be using them again in the future.



by:

Great hitch. One year review, traveled approx 12,000 miles with it. no issues, quiet, very little chucking. Easy to hook up and unhook. Having grease fittings is a plus. I like that the head comes off making it easier and lighter to remove and store.



by:

got a really good deal its still new but paid used price



by:

This coupled with my Reese sidewinder works wonders on my 16 Ram3500 with rambox. Excellent hitch from Curt, price was good, shipping on time, box damaged but nothing wrong with hitch.

Excellent.



by:

My issues with the first delivery was handled to my satisfaction.

    To tow a fifth wheel trailer with your 2007 Dodge Ram with a 6-1/2 foot bed you will need to install base rails in your truck bed in order to mount a Curt sliding hitch. Base rails come with installation kits and there are two different options for an '07 Dodge Ram, depending on the model of your truck; I will list the kits and you can select the right one.

    Yes, the Curt Semi-Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16303-200 that fits your 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 is compatible with your RBW 15K 5th wheel hitch. If you don't already have a 7-Way installed in the bed of your pickup then I also recommend installing the Hopkins # HM42137 to help make connecting and disconnecting the wiring on your 5th wheel much easier.

    When towing with a short bed truck like your 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab, you will need either a sliding 5th wheel hitch or the use of a rotating pin box because otherwise if you make too sharp a turn the trailer will make contact with the cab and can cause a lot of damage.

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.

  • Which Rating Of Camper To Look At When Deciding On New Truck
    That is a great question! You are going to want to go with the Camper's GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) which is the weight of the camper plus the maximum cargo weight allowed by the camper manufacturer. This will be the heaviest the camper can safely weigh according to the manufacturer's specifications. I included a few helpful articles that goes over our take on the best trucks for towing in 2020 for you to take a look at. Once you decide on your new truck, if you can provide the...

  • Will Curt or Reese Fifth Wheel Hitch fit Non Industry-Standard Base Rails in 2003 Dodge Ram
    The Replacement Rails for Demco Hijacker 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Older Models 6014 will give you base rails that are not industry standard, meaning they would not be compatible with a Reese, Curt, or other model of fifth wheel hitch. These hitches mount 22” front to back and either 20-5/8” or 29” wide and will require industry-standard rails in your 2003 Dodge Ram. For example, if you wanted to use the Curt A16 # C16120 fifth wheel hitch you would need to use Fifth Wheel Installation...

  • 5th Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Ford F150 5.5 with Lippert Turning Point Pin Box
    Since your 2022 Grand Design Reflection Series 280RS has a Lippert Turning Point pin box you can use a fixed hitch will weigh less than a slider hitch. So the lightest weight and easiest to use hitch would be the Demco Recon part # DM8550043 which weighs which is about 50 lbs lighter than most at 89 lbs.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2015 Ram 1500 with the 5-1/2 Foot Bed
    I do have options for you but they do not make any under-bed mounting kits for your 2015 Ram 1500 with the 5-1/2' bed. I recommend taking a look at the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16120. This hitch has a 16,000 lb weight capacity for heavy duty towing, a two jaw locking system for maximum jaw to kingpin contact, and a fully articulating torsion head for easy hookups. It also has built-in zerk fittings which allows for easy lubrication. In order to install this hitch in the...

  • Is Curt A16 Fifth Wheel Hitch Removable from Truck Bed When Not in Use
    The Curt A16 fifth wheel hitch part # C16120 that you referenced is a really nice fifth wheel hitch that would work well for you and when not in use it can easily be removed from the truck bed.

  • Is the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for Curt EZr Double Lock Offered with Offset
    The Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter part # C16210 is not offered with an offset. If you need additional turning clearance then it can be used with a sliding fifth wheel hitch like the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16521 which is what I recommend. That said, it is always best to measure the turning clearance before deciding whether or not a slider hitch is needed or you could get away with the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16120.

  • Replacement Recommendation For Husky 16k 5th Wheel hitch
    Any time you run into a issue with jaws like this the safest bet is to replace the head or to just completely replace the hitch before the jaws fail and the trailer disconnects while towing. We no longer carry Husky brand hitches so in it's place I recommend the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 16,000lbs Item # C16120.

  • Curt Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation that Smoother Than E16 Slider
    The Curt E16 slider hitch has a lot of play in the slider assembly like you noted but also quite a bit in the jaw system as it's a slide bar style that allows the king pin to move around quite a bit when latched. If you wanted a much smoother Curt fixed hitch your best option is the Curt A16 hitch part # C16120. The jaw design of this hitch provides a 360 degree contact with the king pin which holds it very tight and minimizes noise. Now the head will be located right over the rear axle...

  • Curt A16 Fifth Wheel Hitch Compatibility With EAZ-Lift Base Rails
    Since the pin holes of your rails are 27" apart you do not have industry standard rails and the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16120 will not work on them. You would need to install some new base rails in your truck for the hitch to attach to. Rail kits are vehicle specific so if you reply back with the vehicle you're using then I can find the correct fitting rails for you. I've attach a picture of industry standard rails (ISR) which most hitches will work with to show you the dimensions.

  • What OEM Legs Are on My Used Q20 Curt Hitch?
    Thanks for the photo and dimensions. The legs appear to be a fit for OEM puck systems but the dimensions you gave don't line up with any manufacturer. Look for numbers on those legs and plug them into our search bar and you will find what vehicles they fit. For your 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500 you would want the Curt OEM 5th Wheel Hitch Legs for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - 25,000 lbs # C16025.

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2019 Ford F-150 Towing Trailer with Pivoting Pin Box
    Since your Grand Design fifth wheel has a pivoting pin box you can use a fixed hitch in the bed of your 2019 Ford F-150 5.5 foot bed and have enough turning clearance. Our Curt A16 part # C16120 would work really well with the rail kit custom fit for your truck # C16442-204. You will also need the wedge part # RP31016.

    To fit your Lippert Turning Point pin box to your Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16120 you can use the Sidewinder Wedge Kit for Curt A16 Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP31016.

  • Wedge to Use with Curt A16 Fifth Wheel Hitch
    The Curt part number # C16520 is for an A16 head like the hitch # C16120 which is unfortunately not compatible with sidewinders. The old versions were compatible, but not the current style. That said, you'll want to go with the E-Series from Curt # C16115, which is compatible when used with a wedge like # C16991.

  • Fit and Compatibility of RBW Lil Rocker Base Rails with Curt Q16 5th Wheel Hitch
    The Curt # C16120 and Lil Rocker RBW were both designed to fit industry standard base rails. If your current RBW rails are industry standard, then the Curt Q16 # C16120 will fit the rails you have installed in your truck bed that a RBW Lil Rocker was once installed on. I have linked a picture with measurements of the industry standard rail dimensions for you to reference. I have linked the above mentioned product to this page for your purchasing convenience.

  • What Clearance Is Needed When Towing Fifth Wheel Trailer
    I have attached a drawing that shows how much clearance is needed when you are towing a fifth wheel trailer. You will want at least 5 or 6 inches between the overhang of the trailer and the bedrails. You also want to make sure your trailer is being towed level. You can make the adjustment by raising or lowering your hitch in the bed of your truck or bu raising or lowering your trailer pin box.
