Advantages of CURT A-series 5th wheel hitches
Smart operation
All A-series 5th wheel hitches operate with a lockable handle that self-resets to the ready-to-couple position after the 5th wheel is uncoupled, removing a step from the coupling process.
Easy setup
A-series 5th wheel hitches feature alignment pegs on the hitch legs, as well as easy-access mounting bolts for simple leg-to-body attachment (select models).
Simple installation
Each 5th wheel hitch is designed for fast, one-pin head removal to make removing the 5th wheel from the truck bed easier with smaller, lighter pieces.
Reliable connection
The A-series 5th wheel head is built with high-strength, interlocking jaws that greatly reduce chucking noises. The head also has an extra-wide opening for easy coupling.
More advantages of CURT A-series 5th wheel hitches
Articulating head
The fully articulating torsion head of the A-series 5th wheel offers controlled coupling and stable, quiet towing with your 5th wheel trailer.
Quiet towing
A-series 5th wheel hitches also feature a cast yoke head with poly-torsion inserts. This mechanism suppresses shock loads and further reduces chucking noises from the trailer.
High-strength construction
The A25 and A30 5th wheel hitches are constructed with a cast steel main body, providing strength to tow the largest of 5th wheel trailers and offering a more precise build.
Thoroughly tested
CURT has a dedicated in-house testing and engineering facility in Detroit, MI to confirm that all of our 5th wheel hitches pass SAE J2638 specifications for safety.
How to select a 5th wheel hitch: What size is the truck bed?
Your truck bed length will determine the type of mounting platform you’ll need for your 5th wheel hitch: legs or a roller. 5th wheel legs are the standard option for mounting a 5th wheel hitch, but they will only fit in a long-bed truck. For short-bed trucks, extra clearance may be needed when making tight turns. A 5th wheel roller will allow the hitch to roll backward, providing enough clearance between the trailer overhang and the truck cab.
Does the truck have an OEM puck system?
If you own a truck from Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Nissan or Ram, your truck bed may be equipped with a puck system (pictured). If your truck has a long bed with the puck system, select a CURT 5th wheel hitch with the appropriate OEM puck system legs. If your truck has a short bed with the puck system, select a CURT 5th wheel hitch with the appropriate OEM puck system roller or roller adapter.
Do you prefer permanent base rails?
If your truck does not have the OEM puck system, you will need to install 5th wheel rails. The traditional method for installing base rails is to use vehicle-specific under-bed brackets. First, select the custom under-bed brackets that fit your specific make and model, as well as a set of industry-standard base rails. Next, if you have a long-bed truck, select a 5th wheel hitch with legs. If you have a short-bed truck, select a 5th wheel hitch with a roller. Remember to always abide by the weight capacity of the lowest-rated towing component.
Would you like the option to easily remove the base rails?
Another 5th wheel mounting option is a gooseneck hitch. Using the CURT Double Lock EZr or Double Lock gooseneck and X5 adapter plate allows you to have a removable set of industry-standard 5th wheel base rails. First, select the Double Lock EZr gooseneck hitch kit that fits your specific make and model. Next, select the corresponding X5 adapter plate. Finally, if you have a long-bed truck, select a 5th wheel hitch with legs. If you have a short-bed truck, select a 5th wheel hitch with a roller.
