The CURT A20 Series — Premium 20K 5th Wheel Hitch

The CURT A-Series is CURT's premium 5th wheel hitch line — engineered with patented articulating head geometry, interlocking dual-jaw design, and self-resetting handle operation. The A20 is the 20,000 lb capacity variant — the step up from the A16 for larger 5th wheels, mid-size toy haulers, and heavier commercial trailers. Meaningful highlights:

20,000 lb gross trailer weight (GTW) — handles larger 5th wheel RVs, toy haulers, and heavier commercial trailers
5,000 lb vertical load capacity — 1,000 lb more than A16, meaningful for larger trailers with heavier pin weights
⭐ Patented articulating torsion head (Patent #8,827,298) — cast yoke with poly-torsion inserts suppresses shock loads and reduces noise
⭐ Self-resetting single-throw handle — pull once to couple/uncouple; handle automatically returns to ready-to-couple position after uncoupling
⭐ High-strength interlocking dual jaws — fully wrap the kingpin for minimal movement and noise
⭐ Three-position color-coded coupling indicator — red (uncouple) / yellow (couple) / green (tow) — visible from the truck cab
⭐ Extra-wide head opening — makes coupling easier, especially in low-visibility conditions
⭐ Sidewinder pin box compatible — approved for use with Sidewinder-style turret pin boxes
Four height adjustment settings (13"–17" range)
Carbide black powder coat finish
Backed by CURT's limited lifetime warranty (one-year finish, one-year parts)

⭐ Direct Puck System Fit for Ford F-250/F-350/F-450 SD

Standout install benefit: drops directly into the Ford F-250/F-350/F-450 SD factory puck system. Meaningful benefits:

No drilling, no rails, no under-bed brackets
Quarter-turn anchoring — install/remove in seconds
Adjustable anchors eliminate chucking noise between legs and puck platform
Full truck bed access when not towing

Just Need the Head?

A20 vs A16 — When to Step Up

The A20 and A16 share the same premium A-Series head design (articulating torsion, dual jaws, self-resetting handle, 3-position indicator, Sidewinder compatible). Meaningful A20 upgrades over A16:

20,000 lb GTW vs A16's 16,000 lb — handles heavier trailers
5,000 lb vertical load capacity vs A16's 4,000 lb — meaningful for larger 5th wheels with heavier pin weights
Same puck-system compatibility as A16 — uses the same puck legs (#16025, #16029, etc.) so upgrade paths are straightforward

Choose A20 if your trailer's GTW or pin weight is close to or above the A16's ratings. For a typical 32'–40' 5th wheel with a loaded pin weight over 3,500 lb, A20 provides meaningful headroom.

Need Even Higher Capacity?

The A20 is capped at 20,000 lb GTW. For larger 5th wheels and heavy toy haulers, CURT offers:

A25 (25K) — 25,000 lb GTW / 6,250 lb vertical load
A30 (30K) — Maximum A-Series capacity for luxury 5th wheels and heavy toy haulers
PowerRide (30K) — CURT's flagship — multi-directional head, strategic grip points, self-resetting handle

Each higher-capacity variant is available for the same puck-system trucks and universal industry-standard base rails.

⚠️ Professional Installation Recommended

Puck-system installation is easier than traditional rail-mounted hitches, but the A20 assembly is heavy. Installation should be performed by a qualified installer.
