CURT 16120 A16 5th Wheel Hitch 16000 lb Gross Trailer Weight with Standard Legs

The CURT A16 5th Wheel Hitch (Model 16120) delivers a quiet, stable towing experience rated for up to 16,000 lbs. gross trailer weight (GTW) and 4,000 lbs. vertical load. Built around a patented fully articulating torsion head and cast yoke with poly-torsion inserts, the A16 absorbs shock loads, reduces chucking, and significantly cuts down coupling noise — making it one of the smoothest-riding 16K hitches available. The hitch comes complete with industry-standard legs, pins, clips, and a polyethylene lube plate, ready to mount onto standard 5th wheel base rails (rails and brackets sold separately).

Key Features:

• 16,000 lb. GTW / 4,000 lb. vertical load capacity — tested to SAE J2638 standards
• Fully articulating torsion head with cast yoke and poly-torsion inserts suppresses shock loads and reduces towing noise
• High-strength interlocking die-cast jaws fully wrap the kingpin for a secure, rattle-free hold
• Self-resetting lockable handle automatically returns to the ready-to-couple position after uncoupling
• Three-position coupling indicator clearly shows coupled, uncoupled, or ready-to-tow status — visible from the truck cab
• Extra-wide head opening for easier kingpin alignment and coupling
• Four height adjustment positions — adjustable from 13" to 17" to fit a variety of truck beds
• Compatible with kingpin extension boxes, including common pivoting pin boxes
• Fast one-pin head removal for easy disassembly and transport
• Includes polyethylene lube plate to eliminate messy grease deposits
• Durable carbide powder coat finish for long-lasting corrosion resistance
• Limited lifetime warranty (one-year finish, one-year parts)
