A16 Sliding Fifth-Wheel Hitch, Silverado, Sierra

The CURT A16 5th wheel hitch excels in ease of use and stable, quiet 5th wheel towing. It achieves this thanks to two key features: a single-throw handle and a patented head. The single-throw handle only needs to be pulled once during hitching and cutting. It is designed to automatically reset to the ready-to-couple position after cutting, allowing for fewer steps when attaching your trailer. The A16’s patented head is equipped with a cast insert with poly-torsion inserts as well as nested jaws to ensure the stability of your truck and trailer. These components allow the A16 to eliminate shocks and vibrations and reduce any additional noise from your trailer. The A16 also features an extra-wide head for easier coupling, a single pin for easy hitch movement, and a 16,000 lb GTW rating. This 16K 5th wheel hitch comes with the CURT S20 slide and the CURT OEM system 5th wheel slide adapter. It is designed to be mounted on certain short-bed Chevrolet or GMC trucks with the bed slide system (depending on the model year). Using a quarter-turn anchoring kit, the adapter quickly and easily inserts into the slides, instantly mounting the A16 hitch and slide and equipping the truck for 5th wheel towing. Once installed, the S20 slide can safely move the hitch point 12" rearward, allowing your short-bed truck to turn without obstruction. The slide lever is comfortable and easy to use, with an elevator-style handle easily accessible over the truck wall. The handle moves in a more user-friendly and ergonomic manner compared to traditional slide levers. Best of all, the slide automatically locks in both directions, meaning you only have to get out of the truck once to complete the operation. This A16 hitch with bed slide system slider is designed solely to fit certain Chevrolet or GMC trucks equipped with a year-specific bed slide system and cannot be installed without it.
