Rated to 16,000 lb GTW. CURT limited lifetime warranty.

The CURT A16 Series — Premium 16K 5th Wheel Hitch

The CURT A-Series is CURT's premium 5th wheel hitch line — engineered above the entry-level E-Series with patented articulating head geometry, interlocking dual-jaw design, and self-resetting handle operation. The A16 is the 16,000 lb capacity variant. Meaningful highlights:

  • 16,000 lb gross trailer weight (GTW) — handles most travel trailers, mid-size 5th wheel RVs, and lightweight commercial trailers
  • 4,000 lb vertical load capacity
  • ⭐ 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, providing better king pin contact than single-jaw designs
  • ⭐ Three-position color-coded coupling indicator — red (uncouple) / yellow (couple) / green (tow) — visible from the truck cab, eliminates getting out to check hitch state
  • ⭐ 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 (E-Series is not)
  • Four height adjustment settings (13"–17" range) for different trailer/truck combinations
  • Carbide black powder coat finish
  • Backed by CURT's limited lifetime warranty (one-year finish, one-year parts)

⭐ Complete Premium Slider + Puck Adapter Package

Standout convenience benefit: this kit bundles everything you need for slider-equipped premium 5th wheel towing on a puck-equipped truck. Includes:

  • A16 5th wheel hitch head — premium 16K with articulating torsion head
  • CURT S20 slider — true rolling design with ~12" of displacement
  • Puck-system adapter — drops directly into your Ram 2500/3500 factory puck holes

⭐ Best of All Three Worlds

  • Premium hitch performance — A-Series articulating head, dual jaws, self-resetting handle, Sidewinder-compatible
  • Puck-system convenience — quick install/remove, no drilling
  • Slider functionality — turn clearance for tight maneuvers

Vehicle Fit

  • Vehicle: Ram 2500, 3500
  • Requirement: Factory puck system (towing prep package) required
  • Verify fitment against CURT application data before ordering

A16 vs E16 — Why Choose A16?

The A16 and E16 are both 16,000 lb capacity 5th wheel hitches sharing the same puck-system compatibility and truck fitment. Meaningful A16 upgrades over E16:

  • Articulating head + cast yoke with poly-torsion inserts — smoother, quieter ride than E16's basic dual-pivot head
  • Self-resetting handle — fewer steps during hookup than E16's basic single-handle
  • Interlocking dual jaws — better king pin contact vs E16's single slide-bar jaw
  • 3-position color-coded indicator — vs E16's basic coupling status
  • Sidewinder pin box compatible — E16 is not
  • Slightly lighter overall — easier install/removal

The E16 remains the value option for buyers who prioritize price and don't need the A-Series comfort and convenience features.

Need Higher Capacity?

The A16 is capped at 16,000 lb GTW. For heavier trailers, CURT offers the A-Series in higher capacities and the flagship PowerRide:

  • A20 (20K) — 20,000 lb GTW / 5,000 lb vertical load
  • A25 (25K) — 25,000 lb GTW for large 5th wheels
  • 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

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