Designed to provide smoother, quieter towing and a more comfortable ride
The CURT A-series is named for its articulating head design. The hitch head is built on a patented cast yoke that offers a stable, quiet ride, even with large 5th wheel trailers.

Cast yoke suppresses shock loads and noise
This 5th wheel hitch uses a cast yoke with poly-torsion inserts to absorb road shocks and vibration as well as reduce annoying towing noise from the trailer.
![Articulating torsion head for controlled coupling and stable towing](https://ic.carid.com/curt/info/articulating-torsion-head-for-controlled-coupling-and-stable-towing_0.jpg)
Articulating torsion head for controlled coupling and stable towing
This A-Series hitch features a fully articulating torsion head that provides an extremely stable connection, while still being able to move and flex with the articulation of the trailer.

Alignment pegs and easy-access bolts for simple leg-to-body attachment
The A-Series 5th wheel hitch comes with alignment pegs on the legs that are easy to attach to the body using convenient mounting bolts.

Three-position indicator clearly shows the coupling status
This CURT 5th wheel hitch features a three-position color-coded indicator that indicates the status of the connection so you’ll know when the hitch is coupled, uncoupled, and ready to tow. It’s visible from the cab of the truck, promoting faster and easier coupling.
![Compatible with all industry-standard 5th wheel rails](https://ic.carid.com/curt/info/compatible-with-all-industry-standard-5th-wheel-rails_0.jpg)
Compatible with all industry-standard 5th wheel rails
The CURT A-Series hitch easily mounts into any industry-standard 5th wheel base rails using the included 5th wheel legs.
The legs mount directly into the four-point mounting system, allowing the CURT A20 hitch to be installed quickly and easily. The most unique feature of these legs is their quarter-turn anchoring system. The variable-position anchors allow the 5th wheel hitch head to easily drop into the puck system, and with a quarter-turn, the hitch can be installed or removed as needed. The anchors can also be adjusted to eliminate any chucking noises.
Once installed, the A20 is fast and simple to operate. It has a lockable, single-throw handle that self-resets to the ready-to-couple position after uncoupling, and it is equipped with a coupling indicator that is visible from the truck cab.
To protect the A20 5th wheel hitch against rust and wear, it comes with a black carbide powder coat finish and a limited lifetime warranty. also test the A20 for safety in accordance with SAE J2638 standards to ensure reliability for the road ahead.
5th wheel hitches are by far the most trouble-free, easiest to hook up, and sweetest-towing rig on the road. Because the hitch is centered over the rear axle instead of four to six feet behind the axle, crosswinds and pavement irregularities that affect the trailer don’t affect the pickup nearly as much. Much like receiver hitches, 5th wheel hitches use an industry-standard rail system so they can be moved to a different truck, or removed temporarily to use the bed for normal hauling.
