A16 fifth-wheel hitch, Silverado, Sierra 2500, 3500 HD

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 unhitching. It is designed to automatically reset to the ready-to-couple position after unhitching, allowing for fewer steps when attaching your trailer. The A16’s patented head is equipped with a molded 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. In addition to its single-throw handle and molded insert head, this 16K 5th wheel hitch is equipped with a three-position coupling indicator. The indicator is visible from your truck’s cab and eliminates the need to enter and exit the cab to check the connection during hitching or unhitching. The A16 also features an extra-wide head for easier hitching, a single pin for easy hitch movement, and a 16,000 lb GTW capacity to tow a variety of 5th wheel trailers. Like other CURT A-Series hitches, the A16 is covered in a durable carbide powder finish. This A16 hitch in particular is equipped with a CURT OEM 5th wheel system, designed to be mounted on certain long-bed Chevrolet or GMC trucks with the pallet system (year-specific). Using a set of quarter-turn anchors, the legs slide quickly and easily into the pucks, instantly mounting the A16 hitch and equipping the truck for 5th wheel towing. The anchors feature an adjustable design to perfectly lock the hitch and eliminate any noise, and the legs are coated in a durable black carbide powder to be highly resistant to scratches, rust, and UV damage. These legs are designed to fit certain Chevrolet or GMC trucks equipped with a year-specific washer system and cannot be installed without it.
