Product Details

The CURT A20 5th wheel hitch delivers smooth, quiet fifth-wheel towing with 20,000 lb gross trailer weight (GTW) capacity and 5,000 lb vertical load rating. Built around CURT's patented A-Series torsion technology, the A20 is engineered for both performance and ease of use — from first installation to everyday coupling.

At the heart of the hitch is a patented cast steel yoke paired with poly-torsion inserts that absorb road shock and suppress towing noise. The fully articulating torsion head allows the trailer to pivot and swivel freely while maintaining a stable, secure connection. High-strength, interlocking cast jaws fully wrap the kingpin to minimize chucking noise and maximize towing security.

Key Features:

  • 20,000 lb GTW / 5,000 lb vertical load capacity — tested to SAE J2638 standards
  • Patented cast yoke with poly-torsion inserts to suppress shock loads and reduce noise
  • Fully articulating torsion head for controlled coupling and stable towing
  • High-strength interlocking jaws fully wrap the kingpin to minimize chucking noise
  • Extra-wide head opening increases the coupling area for easier trailer connection
  • Lockable single-throw handle self-resets to the ready-to-couple position after uncoupling
  • Three-position coupling indicator visible from the truck cab — confirms connection status without leaving the cab
  • Four height adjustment positions (13" to 17") to fit a variety of truck beds
  • Fast one-pin head removal system for quick installation and removal from the truck bed
  • Alignment pegs and easy-access mounting bolts on legs for ergonomic, precise installation
  • Compatible with industry-standard 5th wheel base rails and OEM puck system trucks (with compatible legs or roller adapters)
  • Compatible with kingpin extension boxes, including common pivoting pin boxes
  • Durable carbide black powder coat finish for rust and wear resistance
  • Limited lifetime warranty

What's Included: 5th wheel head, legs, pins, clips, and polyethylene lube plate (patent #8,827,298). Base rails and brackets sold separately.

The CURT 16140 A20 is an ideal 5th wheel hitch for RV and heavy trailer towing, combining patented torsion technology with simple installation and intuitive operation.

Easy to look up and order

I never received anything about shipping so I contacted customer support. They said it was a direct shipment and they would check on it for me and get back to me. I never heard back from them. Shortly after that I did receive a message from the carrier saying they have my shipment and scheduled a delivery. They said they would call me 30 mins before the delivery so I could get off work and come to inspect it before signing for it. That didnt' happen either my wife called me first thing in the morning and say they are here delivering it now so I had to run home so I could inspect it. The driver was really nice and waited for me to get there.

Outstanding product and fast delivery. I will continue buying from this company..

That was fast!

Great

quick and easy
