Differences Between Curt Q20 and A20 Slider Fifth Wheel Hitches for 2017 Ram 3500 with Rail Kit
Question:
I AM DEBATING ON WHETHER TO GET THE Q20 OR A20 FITH WHEEL KIT WITH SLIDER FOR MY TRUCK. I WAS WONDERING PROS AND CONS OF EACH. ALSO IS THE Q20 QUIETER THAN THE A20 BECAUSE OF THE BEARING IT HAS. I HAVE READ A FEW REVIEWS ON THE A20 AND PEOPLE SAID IT WAS A LITTLE NOISY PULLING THEIR TRAILER. THE JAWS ON THE A 20 LOOK HEAVIER DUTY, IS THIS THE CASE OR JUST A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO/

There are differences between the Curt A20 # C16541 and Curt Q20 # C16536.
The two largest differences is the limited warranty on the Q20 is 10 years while the A20 is a 10 year warranty for the roller and a limited lifetime warranty for the hitch. Also, the Q20 features the 360-degree movement with the spherical axial bearing to improve the pivoting of the hitch head.
Both hitches will install in your 2017 Ram 2500 using the Install Kit # C16022.
