The Curt A-Series 5th Wheel Hitch is engineered for durability, performance, and ease of use — ideal for recreational trailers, toy haulers, and full-size campers. Whether in a fixed “A16 / A20 / A25” model or a sliding variant for short-bed trucks, the A-Series is designed to provide reliable, quiet coupling and safe towing with minimal play.
Curt’s own specifications show the series supports gross trailer weight options from 16,000 up to 30,000 lbs, depending on the variant. The A16 version, for instance, offers 16,000 lbs GTW and 4,000 lbs vertical load. Meanwhile, a sliding version is often rated for 25,000 lbs in many catalogs.
The A-Series incorporates interlocking jaw technology to firmly grip the kingpin with minimal tolerances, reducing slack and providing a stable, quiet ride. Many models include a three-position coupling indicator visible from the truck cab, offering visual confirmation of secure engagement.
For short-bed trucks, the sliding models allow articulation and turning radius clearance while maintaining full coupling at all angles. The wide head design and generous cushioning help reduce wear on both truck and trailer during dynamic driving.
We guarantee fitment and delivery on every Curt A-Series 5th Wheel Hitch we sell. Each unit is matched to your truck’s rail spacing and model year. If the hitch doesn’t fit or arrives damaged, we will replace or refund promptly.
