Expert Take
A 16K A-Series puck-mount with the full spherical articulating head, dropping into factory bed holes with no rails. Great value for a lighter fifth wheel and a clear step up from the basic E-Series in ride and capability.
About This Product
The CURT A16 for GM trucks is the entry point to their quiet-towing A-series. Sixteen thousand pounds of capacity with the same poly-torsion technology that reduces noise and vibration. Budget-friendly way to get premium features.
Quarter-turn puck mount installation for Chevy and GMC trucks. Same variable-position anchors as the larger models for a precise, rattle-free fit. Straightforward DIY install in a couple hours.
Articulating head, interlocking jaws, self-resetting handle - the full A-series feature set. If your trailer is comfortably under 16,000 pounds, this gets you the technology without paying for capacity you will never use.
Cast steel, carbide powder coat, lube plate included, one-pin head removal. All the quality you expect from CURT at the lowest A-series price.
For GM trucks with 8-foot beds and factory pucks. Short beds need a slider. Good choice for mid-size fifth wheels where 16K is plenty.

24K SuperGlide
The 24K SuperGlide is the gold standard for short-bed trucks, automatically sliding the hitch back when you turn so the trailer clears the cab without you touching a thing. It drops into factory pucks and tows incredibly smooth; the auto-slide mechanism is the trade you make on a slightly fussier install.
