The CURT E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Kit (Part #16076) is a complete slider-plus-puck-adapter package for Ram 2500, 3500 puck-equipped trucks. Combines the economical E16 hitch head with the S20 slider and a truck-specific puck adapter — drops into your factory puck system, provides sliding operation for tight turns.

The CURT E16 Series — Economical 5th Wheel Towing

The CURT E-Series is CURT's entry-level 5th wheel hitch line, engineered as the budget-conscious alternative to premium A-Series, Q-Series, and PowerRide hitches — while retaining many of the premium safety and comfort features that make CURT hitches recognizable. Available only in the 16,000 lb capacity (E16). 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
  • ⭐ Dual-pivoting head — 10° of lateral movement — smoother, more forgiving hookup and towing over uneven terrain
  • ⭐ Anti-rattle skid plate + rubber stoppers — quieter ride
  • ⭐ Single-handle operation — simple hitch/unhitch
  • ⭐ Four height adjustment settings — 13" to 17" range for different trailer/truck combinations
  • Automatically locks on hitch engagement — secure coupling
  • Carbide black powder coat finish — long-lasting weather and UV protection
  • Backed by CURT's limited lifetime warranty (one-year finish, one-year parts)

⭐ Complete Slider + Puck Adapter Package

Standout convenience benefit: this kit bundles everything you need for slider-equipped 5th wheel towing on a puck-equipped truck — no need to piece together components separately. Includes:

  • E16 5th wheel hitch head — economical, feature-rich, 16K GTW
  • 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 Both Worlds

  • Puck-system convenience — quick install/remove, no drilling, no rails-in-bed
  • Slider functionality — turn clearance for tight maneuvers
  • Full truck bed restored when not towing — remove the entire assembly in minutes

Vehicle Fit

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

Prefer Fixed-Position Puck Fit? (No Slider Needed on 8' Beds)

If your truck has an 8' bed and you don't need slider functionality, direct-fit E16 puck hitches are typically less expensive:

Need Higher Capacity or Premium Features?

The E16 is capped at 16,000 lb GTW. For heavier trailers or more premium features (spherical bearings, self-resetting handles, higher operating capacity), CURT offers upgrade paths in the A-Series and PowerRide lines:

  • A16 (16K) — Premium 16K alternative with improved head geometry and additional articulation
  • A20 (20K) — Same premium tier, 20,000 lb GTW / 5,000 lb vertical load
  • A25 (25K) — Higher capacity for large 5th wheels
  • A30 (30K) — Maximum A-Series capacity for large luxury 5th wheels or heavy toy haulers
  • PowerRide (30K) — CURT's flagship — self-resetting handle, multi-directional head, strategic grip points

Each upgrade tier is available for the same puck-system trucks and universal industry-standard base rails.
