CURT 16580 A25 5th Wheel Hitch Head, 25,000 lb GTW, Carbide Black

The CURT A25 5th Wheel Hitch Head (Part #16580) is a 25,000 lb rated replacement or standalone hitch head engineered for smoother, quieter 5th wheel towing. Built around CURT's patented A-Series technology, the A25 head delivers exceptional trailer stability and controlled coupling performance for RV and heavy trailer applications.

At the heart of the design is a cast steel yoke with poly-torsion inserts that absorb shock loads and reduce noise at the coupling point. The fully articulating torsion head allows unimpeded movement while high-strength, interlocking jaws fully wrap the kingpin to minimize chucking and rattle while underway.

Key Features:

• 25,000 lb Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) capacity with 6,250 lb vertical load rating
• Patented cast yoke with poly-torsion inserts — suppresses shock loads and reduces coupling noise
• Fully articulating torsion head for controlled coupling and stable towing
• Extra-wide head opening increases the coupling area for easier hookup
• Lockable single-throw handle that self-resets to ready-to-couple position after uncoupling
• 3-position coupling indicator visible from the truck cab — confirms connection status at a glance
• Fast one-pin head removal system for easy installation and removal from the truck bed
• Cast steel main body construction for precision fit and long-term durability
• Three height adjustment positions to adapt to different truck bed heights
• Compatible with kingpin extension boxes, including common pivoting pin boxes
• Includes polyethylene lube plate — eliminates messy grease deposits
• Carbide black powder coat finish for corrosion and wear resistance
• Tested to SAE J2638 safety standards
• Limited lifetime warranty (one-year finish, one-year parts)

Installation Notes: This listing is for the hitch head only — 5th wheel legs or a CURT roller are required for mounting and are sold separately. The head is also compatible with OEM puck system legs and roller adapters for trucks equipped with a factory towing prep package.

The CURT 16580 A25 5th wheel hitch head is the ideal upgrade or replacement head for serious RV towers who demand reliable, low-noise performance and a simple, intuitive coupling experience.
