How Much Does Curt A16 Fifth Wheel Hitch C16521 Weigh
Question:
Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R16 Slider - Dual Jaw - 16,000 lbs Weight of complete hitch? I have ISRails in my 6/9 F250 2015 truck with a Husky slider hitch, its too heavy to take in and out alone. Is this hitch manageable?

Expert Reply:
The total weight for the Curt hitch part # C16521 that you referenced is 193 lbs. Slider hitches in general are pretty heavy since there is a lot of moving parts which have to be very strong.
The Reese 16 part # RP30047 is an excellent hitch that weighs in at 176 lb which is a bit lighter weight. This hitch works well because it has a round tube slider which will operate smoother than a square tube and because it has a great 2 jaw system that provides excellent king pin contact.
