Features

Designed to provide smoother, quieter towing and a more comfortable ride

Designed to provide smoother, quieter towing and a more comfortable ride
The CURT A-series is named for its articulating head design. The hitch head is built on a patented cast yoke that offers a stable, quiet ride, even with large 5th wheel trailers.

Cast yoke suppresses shock loads and noise

Cast yoke suppresses shock loads and noise
This 5th wheel hitch uses a cast yoke with poly-torsion inserts to absorb road shocks and vibration as well as reduce annoying towing noise from the trailer.

Articulating torsion head for controlled coupling and stable towing

Articulating torsion head for controlled coupling and stable towing
This A-Series hitch features a fully articulating torsion head that provides an extremely stable connection, while still being able to move and flex with the articulation of the trailer.

Alignment pegs and easy-access bolts for simple leg-to-body attachment

Alignment pegs and easy-access bolts for simple leg-to-body attachment
The A-Series 5th wheel hitch comes with alignment pegs on the legs that are easy to attach to the body using convenient mounting bolts.

High-strength, interlocking jaws for a secure hold on your 5th wheel trailer

High-strength, interlocking jaws for a secure hold on your 5th wheel trailer
The A-Series 5th wheel hitch head features high-strength, interlocking cast jaws that fully wrap the kingpin to minimize chucking noise and enhance towing security.

Three-position indicator clearly shows the coupling status

Three-position indicator clearly shows the coupling status
This CURT 5th wheel hitch features a three-position color-coded indicator that indicates the status of the connection so you’ll know when the hitch is coupled, uncoupled, and ready to tow. It’s visible from the cab of the truck, promoting faster and easier coupling.

Compatible with all industry-standard 5th wheel rails

Compatible with all industry-standard 5th wheel rails
The CURT A-Series hitch easily mounts into any industry-standard 5th wheel base rails using the included 5th wheel legs.

These components also allow the A16 to suppress shock and vibrations and reduce any additional noise coming from your trailer. Like the other CURT A-Series hitches, the A16 is coated with a durable carbide powder coat finish. It meets proposed SAE J2638 standards and includes a limited lifetime warranty. This A16 5th wheel hitch head comes attached to the CURT R16 roller. 5th wheel rollers mount easily onto a set of 5th wheel rails or a gooseneck adapter already installed in the bed of your pickup truck. CURT 5th wheel rollers feature solid construction and offer a sturdy mounting place for your 5th wheel hitch, ensuring that none of its towing strength is lost. CURT 5th wheel rollers are also true rolling units, meaning they actually roll on wheels that bear the weight of the trailer rather than simply sliding on hollow rods as seen in competitive models. With a thick operating handle, the roller smoothly rolls the 5th wheel head forward and back, locking securely into each position as desired. CURT rollers also provide up to 12" of displacement as well, unlike the more common 10", to give you a wide range of motion and plenty of space to get your RV or other 5th wheel trailer around any turn.

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® 16521 - A16 Series 5th Wheel Hitch Head with Roller
Installed unit myself. No issues, looks good, easy to use. Was nervous about the height, but it was not an issue. 5th Wheel Trail locks easy into place and the height was good.
