Designed for weekend explorers and long-haul travelers alike, this A16 5th wheel hitch kit combines rugged engineering with driver-friendly features, so every journey feels smoother from start to finish. Built with a cast yoke and poly-torsion inserts, the A16 suppresses shock loads and reduces noise, letting you enjoy the road instead of feeling every bump. Its fully articulating torsion head provides stable, controlled coupling which is ideal for towing through winding highways, steep grades, or rough backroads. Hookups are fast and frustration-free thanks to an extra-wide head opening and interlocking jaws that fully wrap the kingpin for a quiet, secure connection. The lockable handle automatically resets to the ready-to-couple position, while the dual-direction automatic latching means you only need to exit the truck once. For added comfort, the ergonomic lever arm and smooth, no-bind sliding action make operation effortless. Perfect for short-bed trucks, this hitch delivers 12" of rearward movement, giving you the turning clearance you need to navigate campgrounds or tight fuel stops with ease. With three height adjustment positions and compatibility with Ram puck systems, it adapts seamlessly to your truck and towing setup. For those who live on the road, the CURT A16 is built to last. It’s tested to SAE J2638 safety standards, finished in a highly durable carbide powder coat to resist wear, and even includes a polyethylene lube plate to keep things clean and maintenance simple. Plus, the fast, one-pin head removal breaks the hitch into manageable pieces, making installation and storage far less of a chore.
