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

John Arnaud Leave a comment
Use This Post Clip for Email

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.

Fastway e2 Hitch

Fastway: e2 Hitch

John Arnaud Leave a comment

Using rigid Integrated Sway Control brackets, the e2 hitch from Fastway overcomes the limits that old chain-style hitches have in addressing trailer sway; these also eliminate the connection and removal of add-ons required when making tight turns, backing up, or executing similar maneuvers.

The e2 also excels at managing weight distribution to reduce hop, steering control, and tow sagging. Changing the way the tow vehicle and trailer couple (by creating a bridge between them), the e2 distributes weight more evenly to the axles of both vehicles. In essence, the trailer and vehicle act as one instead of two.

Features

  • Integrated Sway Control technology leverages rigid brackets.
  • Better weight distribution for enhanced driving habits.
  • Make tight turns and back up without any add-ons required.
