CURT 16521 A16 5th Wheel Slider Hitch for Short Bed Trucks, 16,000 lbs

I bought this hitch and roller because it had the dual jaws instead of the slide bar. I waited until I actually towed with it to leave this review.I have to say that it lives up to the hype. Hitchup is easy with the handle that moves into place and the visual indicator and unhitching was just as easy. It's quiet and doesn't have much chucking at all. Even after towing for 4 hours the slider worked flawlessly and the hitch unlocked effortlessly.The roller is easy to operate. I slide it both ways with the 5er on it. I was on level ground (as you should be) and it wasn't a problem to disengage the dogs to prepare to slide. It slid easily into position. I think it may be a bit tedious if you ever had to slide it while on unlevel ground. You'll have to play with getting the truck in the right position to relieve pressure on the slide dogs so you can disengage them.The hitch and roller come in two separate boxes even though the shipping directions don't indicate that. And they are heavy!Unfortunately Amazon doesn't accept package feedback even though the product is sold by them. It would be packed well if it wasn't such heavy items. The shippers tend to flip and roll the boxes around instead of actually picking them up and moving them, so they become very beat up by the time they get delivered. I was lucky in that even though the packaging looked like it went though a war zone, the contents weren't scratched. One of the plastic parts bags were torn open but the only bolt that came out was still in the box. So I had all the parts.

Product not as described in ad. Ad says on the top line Q20 slider for ram puck system. I received an A16 hitch with slider and now have to buy an adapter to hook up in my truck.

I only used it once so far. Everything seems to be okay. The trailer seems to clang back and fourth a little excessively.

Works well and is easy to use. Seems heavier than the similar Husky hitch it is replacing but functionally it's the same. It does what it's supposed to do, and that's the bottom Line.

I've used conventional 5th wheel and companion hitches but I'll never trust sliders after dealing with clanking constantly and slider rails bending after test fitting my 30ft trailer.

The plate that slider rolls on bent causing slide to bind on round bar and not move. Hitch was still under warranty, so I contacted Curt and they said slider would be replaced one time. Installed new slider and after about five trips this slider is starting to bend also. My camper has a tongue weight of 3,750 lbs and it is rated for 4000 lbs. I am close but still under the limit.

Great hitch. Quiet ride, smooth articulation. Really solid construction, beefy hardware included. It also included a lube plate which I don't recall seeing in the description. Pulling a 34' Keystone Laredo approx 11,000# fully loaded.

I ordered this hitch on 9-2-15 delivery was set for 9-9 - 9-14-15. It was delivered on 9-8-15 so the delivery was fast and complete as it comes in 2 boxes. The boxes looked great with no damage. I watched the assembly video bye Curt Mfg. and was able to assemble and install the hitch with no issues. The directions however said it adjusts from 17 to 21 " this is not the case, it goes from 13 to 17". I pulled my 32' Keystone with it today and Wow what a change from my old Reese. It looks great and pulls smooth. The only issue is the rubber pads that go under the feet won't allow the pins to slide thru the dog legs like in the video. Now that I have put a few trips on this. What a change. Very quiet and smooth pulling. Haven't yet found the angle that it won't release to unhook, but then why would you look for it. My purchase with Amazon saved me about 600.00 from the local dealer.
