Product Details

GMC Sierra 2012, E16 Series 5th Wheel Hitch Head by CURT®. 16000 lbs Towing Capacity. When you purchase a 5th wheel trailer hitch, you expect it to be capable of towing your RV, flatbed or whatever other 5th wheel trailer you own. While a 5th wheel hitch does offer an impressive amount of towing strength, it cannot get far without the proper installation equipment. Engineered for specific makes and models, CURT custom 5th wheel brackets provide the ideal solution for complementing the power of your 5th wheel trailer hitch. A custom 5th wheel bracket features a shape that contours to the frame of your truck and comes with pre-drilled holes to make installation quick and easy. In fact, custom brackets are so much easier to install that they can cut installation time in half.

Engineered, fabricated, and welded in the USA

Engineered, fabricated, and welded in the USA
All CURT custom trailer hitches are made in the USA. This means each hitch is engineered, fabricated, welded, finished, tested, and finally shipped out from their headquarters in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

5th wheel hitches are by far the most trouble-free, easiest to hook up, and sweetest-towing rig on the road. Because the hitch is centered over the rear axle instead of four to six feet behind the axle, crosswinds and pavement irregularities that affect the trailer don’t affect the pickup nearly as much. Much like receiver hitches, 5th wheel hitches use an industry-standard rail system so they can be moved to a different truck, or removed temporarily to use the bed for normal hauling.

CURT® Manufacturing has been a leader and innovator in the trailering industry since 1993. CURT markets a broad range of trailer hitches, towing systems and related accessories. CURT is "The First Name in Towing Products" for automobile and truck hitches, as well as RV and commercial towing systems.

CURT employs almost 350 associates, primarily at its manufacturing and headquarters in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

Perfect For My Application
The first time, Hitch worked awesome, backed under fifth-wheel, hook-up was as described locked right up, able to slide back to park in tight spot at lake. Then unlock as easy as hook-up.

This is the Cadillac of all fifth wheel hitches. I would highly recommend this to anyone with a short bed.
