Is this right for you? Product Expert Kathleen M says:
Yes, if you:
Feel reassured by the color-coded system that you can easily see from your cab so that you know when the jaws are open or closed
Go down washboard roads to get to your favorite campgrounds and need a little extra shock absorption to keep from feeling every bump
Get peace of mind from knowing this is overbuilt to handle just about anything
No, if you:
Have raised side rails - since this hitch sits low in the bed, it might not give you enough space for your trailer to clear
Don't have the patience to perfectly level out your trailer when unhooking - the cushioned head can cause the jaws to bind up
Have a hard time lifting heavy stuff by yourself - even though the head comes off, the base is still about 100 lbs on its own

Review from a similar A30 5th Wheel Hitch in Fifth Wheel Hitch
Works as it should. Prior to installing this hitch I had never touched a 5th wheel hitch. This hitch is designed to work on GMC/Chevy with trailer prep package. Well they did a great job. I went from hitch in the crate to hitch installed in less than 30 minutes. I would caution that you may need help lifting hitch into bed of truck, hitch is heavy.1185308

Hitch as pulled 5th wheel over 7k miles without any issues. 5th wheel is 12500 lbs. I keep it greased and check torque per directions. Only non positive is the color Tow- Couple- Uncouple stickers are faded.

Review from a similar A30 5th Wheel Hitch in Fifth Wheel Hitch
I’ve had this hitch for a year now and I like it a lot. The indicator on the front is nice it tells you when it’s locked in and when it isn’t right. The hitch works good and I like how small it is and is easy to remove when I need the full bed.1006868

Absolutely love this hitch. So smooth you almost forget the trailer is back there. Had an old Curt for years think it was the Q24 that I like but this new design with added head movement is fantastic. Great hitch! And thanks etrailer for the fast shipping. Got it super quick considering covid era so great job guys!1255059

Review from a similar A30 5th Wheel Hitch in Fifth Wheel Hitch
We received the product couple days ago. Looked at it closer this morning. Everything appears to be intact. It is definitely heavier and more solid built than I had anticipated from the pictures shown. Ordered a new truck about four weeks ago. Hopefully it comes sooner than later with the Covid delays, so that we can try this bad boy out!
Here is what I like about this hitch .... 30 K rating. Well in excess of the 21,000 pounds or so that I will be pulling. Added safety factor. The head separates from the body and legs, with one pin, which will make it easier to take in and out of the box. The fully articulating head and king pin clamp should make for a smooth operation without much noise. The legs came in a separate box. If the hitch ever goes in a different vehicle, I am thinking that legs should be able to be purchased to accommodate that set up and still use the rest of the hitch. The hitch actually has an appealing look to it. A lot or even most hitches are kind of ugly. I believe the hitch is completely, 100% USA made. I cannot give an opinion on actual use until such a time that our truck arrives. Some people said that the packaging was poor and the box basically disintegrated in transit. Ours, however, arrived in good shape. There was foam inside of the box for cushioning and a secondary box inside the main hitch box.1032447

Review from a similar A30 5th Wheel Hitch in Fifth Wheel Hitch
The hitch arrived on time. Installation went fairly well. The only drawback was with the written and video installation instructions provided by Curt. The instruction manual and video fails to provide clear guidance on the bolt washer arrangement. There appears to be a standard package of bolts and nuts that must be used with other setups that Curt has and this leads to questioning exactly what you are supposed to do: use the nut, don't use the nut, lock washer with the nut, lockwasher on the bolt side. I went with using the nut (even though the video or manual addresses this) since it provides an additional capture mechanism and torquing a bolt into a plate with the forces that will be experienced by the hitch did not make sense. The first use went great.870700

Rebecca was very helpful and considerate in helping with problem. I needed a fifth wheel hitch for a 2020 standard box silverado w/pucks. She called Curt and got the right item since it was so new. Great item and a snap to put together and so nice to have the pucks and no rails. 725329

The Curt A30 part # C66HR does fit the same base rails as the A25 you have now and are considering selling. So the A30 would easily replace what you have and offer more weight capacity. view full answer...
The Ram/MoPar branded 5th wheel hitches are rebranded Curt manufactured 5th wheel hitches. The Curt A30 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # C66HR has a shipping weight of 130 lb. view full answer...
I looked in the manual for the Curt A30 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C66HR and it states that you can use a single 3/16" thick lube plate which we do offer, the Curt 10" Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Lube Plate part # 16721. This will be a great choice to avoid messy grease so you can smoothly couple and uncoupler the trailer each time without issue. view full answer...
It sounds like you might be trying to upgrade to the Curt A30 5h Wheel Hitch Head and if that's the case I do have an option for you but this won't be possibly for an existing set of legs due to a dowel pin. If you want to use the Curt A30 then you'll have to go with part # C66HR which comes with the correct legs for this hitch head. There's also an option for the GM puck system, part # C16070. view full answer...
Unfortunately, Curt doesn't offer just the head unit of their # C66HR A30 5th wheel hitch as a separate item, it's only available as a kit with the center section which we offer as part # C16590. view full answer...
There is a heavy-duty 5th wheel hitch that you can use with your 2010 Ram 3500, though there isn't one that has a 37,000 lb weight capacity. Instead, the highest capacity 5th wheel hitch available has a 30,000 lb capacity, and is from Curt:

The Curt A30 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for RAM Towing Prep Package # C64BR only comes with feet that fit into Ram's puck system so without it you wouldn't be able to attach the hitch to the bed of your truck. The Ram puck system is something only Ram can put in your vehicle and there isn't an aftermarket option available.
Instead you can use the Curt A30 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C66HR, which can mount onto base rails like the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram Truck # C16427-204.... view full answer...
The highest rated Reese fifth-wheel hitch that we have for your truck at this time is the 30,000 lb Curt A30 5th Wheel Hitch # C66HR.
To install this hitch in your 2005 F-350 you will need base rails, the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit, item # RP50082-58.
If you don't have a 5th wheel wiring harness, you will need that as well with the Fifth Wheel and Gooseneck 90 Degree Wiring Harness with 7-Pole Connector, item # 50-97-410. view full answer...
The only option for installing a 5th wheel hitch on your 2001 Ford F-450 cab and chassis flat bed is to install universal 5th wheel rails such as Reese Universal Base Rails # RP30035. This is not a custom-fit setup, nor is one available for your vehicle. This requires it to be installed through a 1/2" steel plate under the deck and the plate must be welded to brackets that are bolted to the truck frame by a qualified professional.

Though I do need to start by saying the highest rated fifth wheel hitch available for a 2019 Ram 3500 long bed with the factory puck system will be the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP37FR, which is rated to 27,000 pounds, I can still compare the Curt 30k hitches for you.
First, the Curt A30 # C66HR. The A-Series fifth wheel hitches have been around for quite some time and the second is the Curt PowerRide # C22ER. This is Curt's brand new fifth wheel hitch. There are a lot of similarities... view full answer...
If you have the Curt Fifth Wheel Base Rails in either the Gloss Black # C16104 or Carbide Black # C16204 those are only capable of supporting up to 25,000lbs. This would allow you to switch from the Q16 # C16120 to the Curt Q25 # C16265. Otherwise you will need to change to the Dark Gray Rails # C99JR and under bed mounts to use the larger 30,000LB Curt A30 # C66HR or PowerRide # C22ER 5th wheel hitches. Curt does not currently manufacturer a Q30 5th wheel hitch. If you can let me know... view full answer...
