CURT MANUFACTURING, LLC. part description

Like the other 5th wheel hitches of the CURT Q-Series, the CURT Q20 is a specialist in its class. It features a gross trailer weight capacity of 20,000 lbs. and can accept a vertical load limit of 5,000 lbs., giving it the capability to tow most large recreational vehicles, campers and many other 5th wheel trailers. Also like the Q24, the Q20 5th wheel has a superior hitch head, pivoting on a spherical axial bearing. This ensures smooth, quiet towing and allows unimpeded head movement and a wide turning radius for your trailer. The self-aligning head and dual-locking jaws make coupling easier, and with the three-position coupling mechanism, indicating when it safe to couple and when it is safe to tow, you can be out of the driveway and on your way quicker than ever. The Q20 comes with a durable carbide powder coat finish to give this hitch the best possible defense against corrosion, scratching, UV damage and whatever else you throw its way. It meets proposed SAE J2638 testing standards and is also backed by a 10-year limited warranty to give you peace of mind. This 20K 5th wheel hitch head comes ready to be attached to the CURT R20 5th wheel roller.


  • Spherical axial bearing tilts head in any direction for a smooth, quiet ride
  • Dual jaws fully wrap the kingpin to reduce chucking and increase security
  • Wide, self-aligning head helps eliminate errors when backing up to the trailer
  • Lockable, short-throw handle automatically engages with the kingpin
  • Three easy-access grease fittings for lubrication
  • Three-position coupling indicator clearly shows coupling status
  • R20 5th wheel roller #16550 provides 12" of travel in the truck bed
  • Rolls on wheels and solid, non-binding rods to be a true rolling unit
  • Mounts to all industry-standard base rails
  • Offers three height adjustment positions to adapt to each unique truck bed
  • Includes a polyethylene lube plate to eliminate messy grease deposits
  • Meets proposed SAE J2638 testing protocol
  • Protected by a highly durable carbide powder coat finish
  • Backed by a 10-year limited warranty
