Experience smoother towing with advanced stability and easy installation features.

The CURT A20 fifth wheel trailer hitch is engineered for optimal towing performance, offering a robust 20,000-pound weight carrying capacity and a 5,000-pound vertical load limit. This fixed-type hitch features a fully articulating torsion head that enhances stability and allows for controlled coupling, making it suitable for various towing scenarios.
