CURT (16540): A20 5th Wheel Hitch Head

If you’re looking for smoother, quieter towing for your home away from home, the A20 5th wheel hitch from CURT combines the company’s patented A-series technology with an easier mounting system and the power of a 20K 5th wheel hitch.

The 16540 uses a patented cast yoke to allow for unimpeded head movement plus exceptional trailer stability. A set of poly-torsion inserts suppresses shock loads and reduces excessive noise, while the head features strong interlocking jaws that facilitate free pivoting and swiveling.

A carbide black powdercoat and CURT’s limited lifetime warranty gives you peace of mind against wear, rust, and other towing enemies.

Note: This A20 head unit is a replacement head only. It requires 5th wheel legs or a 5th wheel roller to be installed—components not included in this package.
