We all know the hassle of a traditional trailer coupler. Corrosion and complicated hinging components only add stress and frustration to the coupling process.

What if a coupler didn’t need a latch at all?

Introducing the QuickPin™ no-latch trailer coupler from CURT. QuickPin™ (PN 25470) is a revolution in coupler technology, completely doing away with the traditional latch design. Instead, to secure the trailer to the hitch ball, this innovative coupler uses a single pin.

Just drop the trailer tongue onto the tow ball, slide the QuickPin™ hitch pin into place, and secure it with the included safety clip. That’s it!

Note: Coupler must be used only with included pin.

  • Easier to use than traditional couplers

Using exclusive CURT ShockDrop™ technology, the RockerBall™ cushion hitch transforms your towing experience by absorbing erratic trailer movement and rattling at the coupling point, providing a smoother ride and increased control and reducing the stress placed on your vehicle, receiver hitch, brakes, and suspension.

Unlike a traditional metal-on-metal connection that directly transfers vibration, jolting, chucking, noise, and wear to your tow rig, the RockerBall™ features an integrated cushion isolator that dramatically reduces jerking and jarring as you navigate bumps and potholes. And, with no airbags or bearings to service, the RockerBall™ is a low-maintenance dream that needs just a little zerk grease as needed.

Boasting forged-steel construction, a protective powdercoat, and a chrome-plated ball, the 45143 CURT kit includes a 2” ball mount with a 3” drop and a 2” shank to fit most class 3, 4, and 5 receiver hitches. An included anti-rattle shim kit ensures maximum vibration resistance.

Features

  • Rated 7,500 lb GTW and 750 lb TW
  • Dynamic trailer ball with ShockDrop™ technology
  • Dampens jerking and jarring from bumps and potholes for smoother towing
  • Cushioned isolators reduce rattling and vibration for a more comfortable ride

CURT (16066): A25 5th Wheel Hitch with GM Puck System Legs

The CURT A25 5th wheel hitch uses a patented cast yoke to allow for unimpeded head movement while providing exceptional stability for the trailer. The yoke’s poly-torsion inserts suppress shock loads and reduce excessive noise, and the head’s high-strength, interlocking jaws give the trailer the freedom to pivot and swivel as needed.

The 16066 comes with a set of CURT OEM puck system 5th wheel legs designed to mount directly into the four-point mounting system of your Chevrolet or GMC truck with truck bed puck system. The unique quarter-turn anchoring system allows the 5th wheel hitch head to drop easily into the puck system; with just a quarter-turn, the hitch can be installed or removed as needed. The anchors can also be adjusted to eliminate any chucking noises.

The A25 is fast and simple to operate. Its extra-wide head opening increases the coupling area for the trailer, while its lockable, single-throw handle self-resets to the ready-to-couple position after uncoupling. It even has a coupling indicator that is visible from the truck cab, which shows the status of the connection and eliminates the need for you to check multiple times while coupling.

The 16066 is protected by a carbide black powdercoat and a limited lifetime warranty.

Note: Requires GM puck system for installation (long-bed trucks only). Includes A25 5th wheel hitch head (16580) and GM puck system legs (16025).

Features

  • Fits Chevy or GMC long-bed pickups with OEM truck bed puck system.
  • Cast yoke with poly-torsion inserts suppress shock loads and reduce noise.
  • Fully articulating torsion head for controlled coupling and stable towing.
  • Lockable handle self-resets to the ready-to-couple position after uncoupling.
  • Cast-steel main body for a more precise build.
  • High-strength, interlocking jaws fully wrap the kingpin to minimize noise.
  • Extra-wide head opening for easier coupling.
  • Fast, one-pin head removal makes moving easy with smaller, lighter pieces.
  • Three-position coupling indicator clearly shows coupling status.
  • Quarter-turn anchoring system provides quick installation and removal.
  • Compatible with kingpin extension boxes, including common pivoting pin boxes.
  • Offers three height adjustment positions to adapt to each unique truck bed.
  • Polyethylene lube plate eliminates messy grease deposits.
  • Finish: carbide black powdercoat.
  • Warranty: limited lifetime.
