The Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Kit is designed for drivers who want a smooth, hassle-free towing experience. Whether you’re heading out on a cross-country adventure or a weekend getaway, the A25 makes towing easier and more stable. With cast steel construction and a fully articulating torsion head, it absorbs shock loads and reduces noise, offering a quieter and more controlled ride.
The interlocking jaws securely grip the kingpin, while the extra-wide head opening and self-resetting handle simplify coupling. Quick, one-pin head removal allows for easier transport, and automatic dual-direction latching means you only need to exit the truck once to hitch up. For short-bed trucks, 12 inches of extra rearward movement provide better turning clearance for tight spaces.
Rated for 25,000 lbs. and coated with a tough carbide finish, the A25 meets SAE J2638 safety standards and comes with a limited lifetime warranty. The kit includes the A25 5th Wheel Hitch Head (#16580), S25 5th Wheel Slider (#16574), and Puck System 5th Wheel Adapter with Rails (#16042), ensuring easy installation.
