Product Details

Universal E16 5th Wheel Wedge Kit by CURT®. Allows CURT E16 5th wheel hitch to be used with "Sidewinder" pin box. The grand lifestyle that goes hand in hand with 5th wheel towing is made perfect in the details. You can talk all you want about whose RV hogs the most road or whose 5th wheel hitch can handle the most tonnage, but when you get down to it, the best hitch and trailer setup in the world can never reach its full potential without the right accessories to back it up.

Installation

A 5th wheel wedge is a simple but reliable way to allow a CURT 5th wheel hitch to be used with a 5th wheel pin box. A pin box mounts on top of the 5th wheel head and provides a new pivot point for the kingpin and wider turn radius for the 5th wheel trailer. To keep the pin box from swiveling in its 5th wheel mounting location, a 5th wheel wedge inserts into the hitch head, locking the pin box into place. This 5th wheel wedge is designed to fit the CURT E16 5th wheel and accommodates the Sidewinder* pin box. It comes with all necessary hardware and features a durable carbide finish for rust-resistance.

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.

Whether you are towing cross-country or hitting the family campground, 5th wheel trailers offer superior comfort, towing, and construction. Combine these amenities with a Curt Inc. 5th wheel hitch and you have the most well-designed, problem-free rig on the road!

Solid Hitch
Had issues with my previous hitch lots of chucking and noise. Switched to this Power ride 30K, it fixed all that and it handles my 5th wheel like a champ. No noise and I trust it with the heavy loads.

A16 5th Wheel Wedge Kit
I made a mistake when I order this item, the need was for a curt E-16k, that's why I order the other one specialy for the E-16, I received it and I'm ok with it, but the first one is useless. Everything was right, the error was mine.

Great Hitch. But...
This is a great hitch. The legs fit perfectly in my 2016 Nissan Titan XD factory pucks. I do like that the hitch itself can be easily removed for proper storage. Hitching and un-hitching work seamlessly. My Grand Design Fifth Wheel Trailer came equipped with the Lippert Turning Point Pin Box. The ‘universal’ wedge plate that came with the trailer does not work with the Curt A16. The funnel is a bit too wide and the ‘short side’ of the wedge hits the king pin before the wedge shoulders make contact with the hitch funnel.
