Secure, Two-Piece Jaw

Q20 Two-Piece Jaw

Unlike slide-bar models, the rounded, 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

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).


Q20 Color Indicator System

360-Degree Pivot

Curt's unique spherical axial bearing provides a durable pivot point that allows easy, 360-degree movement of the hitch head. This ball joint is designed for smooth, quiet operation with less clunking and chucking.

Video Transcript for DIY 2022 Ram 2500 Installation for the Curt Q20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch

What's up, everybody It's A.J. with etrailer.com Today, we're gonna be checking out the Curt Q20 5th wheel hitch assembly. And today we're putting it on the Curt adapter for the above-bed puck system that comes OEM with this 2022 Ram 2500. Right away we wanna point out that we are in a shorter six foot bed on this Ram. So this would really only work with a longer bed and eight for one just because of it's a static hitch, it's not gonna move around. So it would work with a slider.

You can get it in a kit with that if that's something you need but it will not work with the sidewinder style King Pin. So just keep that in mind. I think this will work great for the eight foot bed. Now today the way we have this set up is since our Ram has the factory under bed puck system, as we use the adapter from Curt and that's gonna go into those pucks and allow you to attach the fifth wheel legs to the adapter itself. That way it's above bed and you can still use this if you already had this assembly.

You just need to get the adapter to use it in your new truck with the pucks. Let's look at how it connects. It's got a two jaw system, which is better than just the one jaw system. Which that usually works but this gives you a complete coverage of the kingpin so you know it's secure in there. It's really easy operate.

We've got the handle here. I'll pull the pin. Pull this back. Even has an indicator on this side that lets you know. So it's green, so it means it's good to tow right now because it would be connected if we had something in there.

So come here, pull the side. We are in red, so that means it's uncoupled and then yellow would be it's coupled. It's ready to go. So when it's in yellow now we back up to the King Pin, it would activate these jaws. I'm gonna show you how the jaws work. This is gonna be a King Pin insert. So we're backing up to the trailer on the King Pin. It gets lined up with the two jaws. Once it hits the jaws and pushes back, they go into place. So that brings the handle in. So now the indicator's gonna be green for ready to tow. You wanna make sure you latch it back just for extra security and then you're ready to hit the road. As far as security goes, you don't have to just use this pin. It's nice as this is included, but sold separately, you can get a padlock run through there and lock this up. That way no one can unlatch this and mess with this when you're not around. When you go to set it up or back it up to your trailer, the head does pivot back and forth so that's gonna help you adjust. If it's slightly off and you're coming in and you don't have to worry about it straight on, it will adjust to you backing in. So I'll show you kind of here. I'll pull it an angle. You might not be able to see much but also pull it in to the side. It still adjusted just fine. You can see it pivots back and forth and can go front and back. So it will adjust as you back that King Pin in. You also get this plate that acts as a barrier on your King Pin. So you put it all the way on there on the bottom and that's gonna protect it against metal on metal contact. So instead it'll hit that plate as it comes in here. Which is gonna keep from scraping everything up. There's also gonna be three points to help add grease to it to keep it moving easily. So there's gonna be one up right on front. There's gonna be on the left side and there's gonna be one on the right side. Another nice thing about this is you can detach the head from the base, which is gonna not only make it lighter but easier to install or remove. So I'm gonna pull the clips on the inside and show you the two pin system. There's one on this side. So you have one on the opposite side. Then you're gonna lift and remove the head out. Now it does resist a little bit, so you will have to pull up. And as I shake it back and forth, it slowly starts to come out. And I can remove that, set it aside, and then remove the base separately. The Q20 is gonna have a gross total weight rating of 20,000 pounds. It's gonna have a vertical load limit of 5,000 pounds. And this does weigh 139 pounds. So if you need help with it, get some help loading into the truck and set in the place. Now you can disassemble it, remove the head to make it a little bit lighter and easier for one person. Installing is really easy. We just drop it off the adapter, line up the tabs with the holes, and it goes right in the place. We'll go underneath and add in our pin and clips. Overall, I think this is a good fifth wheel hitch. Now if you have the eight foot bed, it's gonna be better. Don't recommend it for the six foot bed just because of how limited it is. But the jaws going right around the King Pin, really nice. It's all the way around there. It's gonna take up some of that rattling. The way it adjusts when you back up into it is gonna be really easy to do as well. The handle was easy to pull out. It had the color code here on the side so if you did have a backup camera here or you could see it in the mirror, you could see that it was green and good to go and you're good to tow. Well, I think that does it. Thanks for hanging out and I hope this helped..

Fits like a glove. From the time UPS dropped it off it took 45 minutes to have it installed in the truck and we were hooked up to go camping, which we did! Thanks to the team for getting it shipped asap! 2020 Ram 2500 with the factory puck system.



by:

it fit perfectly in my RAM 2500 2022 , it reduce the height by 3.5 inch from my original roller Curt set up, since I have air suspension in the back I will simply said be careful when you disconnect because the back of the pick up spring upward when load is removed. The reason I switch was the high of the roller sytem and the puck was way too high for my fifth wheel.



by:

Well your shipping is very poor, sent you photos of the container, the item was scratch and hopefully not dropped, will get installed and see if it works. Customer service was 5 star. But shipping something that heavyvin a card board box was crazy.



by:

Great solution when moving to a truck with the puck system. This was cheaper than buying rails,brackets, and install costs, and when removed the bed is clean.



by:

The box came destroyed after being sent to south Florida instead of Cumming, GA. It sat for 5 days 20 miles from my house before being sent to South Florida. The hitch would be usable but the 8-M12 carriage bolts are missing so it can't be assembled. Now what to do? I need this yesterday.



by:

I bought a new trailer recently that weighs 16k and I just didn't feel secure using my Reese pro series 16k to Haul with. So I started looking at various hitches. I've had 3 other fifth wheel hitches in the past. All of them have been 15 and 16k models. What I never liked was the latching system. I've even had a trailer come out of the hitch due to a poor latching hook up. There wasn't an good way to lock the hitch. Some of it was my fault and some was a poor design. When I saw the Curt Q20 had a latch on the handle and also was color coded I was hooked. This hitch satisfied my want list. It arrived 4 days after I ordered it and like other comments I've read it was full of heavy duty staples. It was double packaged. There had to be over 50 staples. It was defiantly packaged securely. After dimantaling the packing I finally got to the hitch. There were a few scratches on the hitch from all the staples but a bit of black touch up paint took care of that. After all the hitch is going to be used and get scrached by me anyways. Four bolts and it was together. It fit perfictly it my existing rails. By the way it's heavier than my other hitches. I wound be apprehensive to pull my new trailer. If your looking for a great hitch at a great price you can't go wrong.



by:

This product has worked perfect for me using with my 2012 Wildcat Sterling 5th wheel. Customer service is the best at etrailer.com. Just love doing business with them!



by:

Unlike other reviews...I will say that my packages all arrived in perfect condition. (Boxes were all intact). Assembling the Q20 is a breeze and by all appearances this hitch certainly seems to be more than adequate for my needs. I haven't had a chance to actually use it yet...but from what I can tell, I certainly don't expect any issues. I like the way the hitch latches and unlatches, and that you can add a lock to prevent someone from opening the jaws while you are parked somewhere. I think the only thing I'll add is a lock in place of one of the pins...just to make it difficult for someone to remove and steal the hitch.



by:

I have just used the hitch on some very short pulls, nothing long yet. However, I can tell it is much quitter and does not seem to chuck as much as my old hitch. Appears to be very well built. Heavier than the old 15K hitch I had before. The only down I can find right now is that there is not a good place to hook up the emergency stop brake cable. I was able to rig up a connector that works just fine.



by:

Arrived in the time identified, and all materials included. Box was damaged during shipping but packaged well enough that no damage occurred. Installed and got me out a jam caused by a height issue with original hitch installed by dealer causing the trailer to ride nose high. Leveled out and still maintaining the proper clearance between the bed and trailer.



by:

EASY installation with Ram OEM puck system, needed very little adjusting.



by:

Couldn't give it anymore stars after I took the hitch out of the box and it was all scratched up. Always good when you spend xxx on a hitch to receive it in that condition



by:

Heavier than expected (95#) shipping weight. Which is a good thing. The description probably said that but I didn’t pay attention. The only warning I would give I’d that this with add 3.25” or so of height to your hitch. If you don’t have the adjustment in your set up you may want to look for something a little lower profile. I’m happy with the purchase and very happy with etrailer. Very fast shipping and good prices.



by:

Easy installation good quality



by:

Great hitch. Used several times. Love the way it comes apart into two pieces for ease of carrying when taking it out and putting it back in. Locks the trailer in tight too. Gets my trailer to were I want to with no problems.



by:

Got my 5th wheel double boxed and in good shape. Took 2hrs to install outboard base rail kit. Everything finger tight. This Morning it took me 2hrs to drill the 4 center holes, I put 2 in the center on each rail, remove spare tire and torque everything down and replace spare tire.
The outboard base rail kit was a snap to install and I love the Curt Q20 with no floppy 5th wheel plate.



by:

Etrailer is perfect at everything they do. It’s refreshing to see some dignity left in the business world.



by:

E Trailer is a professional business place with exceptional customer support. Tammie answered all of my questions and walked me through the ordering process. The items arrived in 3 business days as promised. Thank you



by:

Is difficult to get the jaws to lock- sometimes have to manually push one jaw to get it to spring closed. Any idea why?



by:

A bit difficult to get safely secured at first, after I figured that part out everything works as it should, thankful there was an alternative so I didn’t have to purchase a new hitch



by:

I placed my order on Tuesday evening and it arrived early Friday. Very fast shipping!!! The hitch installed easily using etrailer custom rail kit. Hitch itself seems way to use. Can't wait to pickup new camper next week! Thank you etrailer for such awesome service!!!



by:

Took about 15 minutes to install. Heavy duty. Can't wait to pull with is



by:

Very nice rail set up that you can remove when not in use, works great with my Anderson Hitch that was set up for a rail set up on my new 2022 Ram 3500. Also has slots for the chain hooks.



by:

Heavy but very easy to adjust and put together. Fit without rattling or any issues. Used with a BW Patriot slider 29” wide on the attaching points.



by:

Easy to install worked like it should, in 2023 Ram 3500

  • Difference Between The C16022 And C29BR Fifth Wheel Adapters
    Both adapters will fit the puck system in your 2023 Ram 2500. The # C16022 is designed to work only with Curt brand sliding fifth wheel hitches like the # C16541. The # C29BR is more of a universal adapter and can be used with both sliding and fixed fifth wheel hitches. The # C29BR will also work with other brands of fifth wheel hitch such as B&W and Reese. It will work with most fifth wheel hitches designed for industry standard rails. We generally recommend a slider for short bed models,...

  • 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. If that is the case then yes, you can install the Curt A16 # C16521 on the same rails. You can also swap out the head. The Curt R16 # C16560 is the base for both the E16 and A16. The A16 replacement head is the # C16520 and you will also need the head mounting hardware # C35UR.

  • Slider Base For Mopar 30K Fifth Wheel Hitch In A 2018 Ram 3500
    The Curt S25 Slider for A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # C43DR would be compatible with the head of your M30 hitch and provide 12" of travel for additional turning clearance. The downside is that you'll be lowering your overall towing capacity to 25k so you'll want to ensure it's still enough to handle the weight of the trailer. This slider base also requires base rails so if you have the OEM puck system in the bed then you'll also need the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch # C29BR.

    You are correct that you need the Adapter Rails # C29BR to mount a 5th wheel hitch to the OEM puck system on your 2022 Ram 2500. When it comes to comparing the E16 # C16115 and the A16 # C16120, the E16 is a very entry level 5th wheel hitch while the A16 is more of a standard. This is due to the E16 having a simple slide bar jaw system that still allows the king ping to jostle around some and the hitch head cushioning is a bit more basic. The A16 has a dual jaw system that completely...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500
    I would be happy to help you. There are two big differences in options for towing a 5th wheel trailer with your 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500. The first and easiest would be if you have the prep package. What that is is a from the factory option that puts four holes in the bed of your Silverado for mounting a 5th wheel hitch (See picture below). This is a factory option only and there is no way to add this with aftermarket parts. With this system on your truck you have two options to install...

  • Comparing The Curt A16 And Q20 Fifth Wheel Hitches
    With the Curt A16 # C16120 being a lower rated hitch than the Q20 # C16130 it's going to be a bit smaller. That being said, the A-Series does come with the wraparound jaws and a fully articulating torsion head to provide better cushioning from road shock and easier coupling than the Q-Series. The A16 is compatible with rotating pin boxes unlike the Q20 so you have a bit more versatility if you ever traded out your trailer. The A16 will also come with a limited lifetime warranty whereas...

  • Does the Curt Q20 5th Wheel Hitch item # C16130 Mount to Rails or a Puck System?
    It is 5th wheel rail mounted. The Curt Q20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # C16130 has a base that attaches to in bed 5th wheel rails. If you are wanting to attach it to a Ram puck system you will need the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch - Dodge Ram Towing Prep Package item # C29BR. If you need a set of 5th wheel rails for a 2016 Ram 2500, I recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram Truck item # C16427-204.

  • Is Curt Q20 5th Wheel Hitch Compatible with Older Sidewinder Fabex Pin Box
    Thanks for reaching out, Ken! The Curt Q20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16130 will work with your older style Sidewinder pin box if it's locked out, which is what I believe you're referring to. If you're using the rotating turret feature for extra clearance then you will need a wedge and you'll need to use the Curt A20 # C16140 with the Custom Wedge # C16992 instead.

    The Reese 16K 5th wheel hitch # RP30051 will fit into any industry-standard 5th wheel base rails, including rails from Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden-Hitch, Husky, Pro Series, Reese and Valley.

  • Do the Curt Q20 and Q24 5th Wheel Hitches Install the Same Way on a 2008 GMC Sierra
    The Curt Q20 # C16130 and Q24 # C16245 5th wheel trailer hitches both mount to the same above the bed industry standard rails. If your 2008 GMC Sierra is a 1500 or a 2500 Light Duty then you can use Curt installation kit # C16400-204. If it is a 2500HD or a 3500 then use # C16418-204. Custom installation kits are preferred because you won't have to drill into the truck frame for installation. They also take less time to install. I have linked the instructions for these kits for you.

  • Comparing Curt A20 and Curt Q20 5th Wheel Hitch for 2020 GMC Sierra 3500
    The difference between the Q20 # C16130 and the A20 # C16140 is the design of the head. The A20 is the newer design that has the more standard dual pivoting head allowing front to back and side to side movement. The Q20 has a spherical axial bearing that allows 360 degree movement for a quieter ride. Customers have also at times had issues with easily connecting to their trailer because the head can move in all directions. My recommendation for you is the A20 and if you have the factory...

  • How to Correct Nose High 5th Wheel Trailer After Switching to B&W 5th Wheel Hitch
    I'll start off by saying that the Curt Q20 # C16130 adjusts between 13"-17" tall, where the B&W # BWRVK3670 sits between 17"-19" tall; so if you were in the 15" range with your Q20, that would explain some of the nose high condition you're experiencing now using the B&W hitch. Additionally, if there aren't any bolt holes left above where your Trailair Flex Air Pin Box # LC328492 bolts onto the 5th wheel, it will be at the highest setting and you're not going to be able to move it up. If...

  • What is Difference Between Curt A20 and Q20 Fifth Wheel Hitches
    The Curt A20 # C16140 and Curt Q20 # C16130 are very similar 5th wheel hitches with the A20 being the more recent and improved version. 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 360 degree head design that the Q series had didn't offer as much of a difference in...

    The A20, like # C16140 essentially an updated version of the # C16130 Q20. The A-series hitches feature an interlocking jaw that holds the king pin very tightly all the way around its circumference for a very smooth ride without all the clanging and banging that would be experienced with lower-quality hitches.

  • Compatability of Fifth Wheel Hitch in Reese Rails on a 2003 Ford
    Your RBW 15,000 pound hitch should fit in the Reese rails unless they are installed improperly. When the hitch was installed on the F-550 it may have been tightened down with the gooseneck adapter installed and the rails are just out of position for your fifth-wheel hitch. If the hitch you have is not fitting by a small amount I would try to loosen the mounting bolts on the rails and then install the fifth-wheel hitch. After you have the hitch installed you can then re-tighten the mounting...

    The actual position of the bed rails can vary according to which manufacturer's frame bracket you're using. Since most folks tend to order the brackets from the same manufacturer as the hitch, I'll assume unless told differently that you're using the Curt # C16428 frame brackets with your Curt bed rails (you always want to ensure that the frame brackets and bed rails are from the same manufacturer so the capacity of the installation isn't compromised). The rails for this kit mount so that...
