Overview
Not a complete hitch, this is the A30 head alone. A cast yoke with poly-torsion inserts lets the head move freely while damping shock and noise, and interlocking jaws hold the king pin.
Smoother, quieter towing and a one-pin removal system are the pitch for a head that comes out of the bed quickly.
Who it's for
Owners who already have, or plan to buy, the mounting legs or roller and want a head with a lit-up coupling check. Buyers wanting an all-in-one package should look at a complete hitch.
Pros and cons
- Cab-visible coupling indicator
- Single throw lockable handle
- Extra-wide head opening
- One-pin head removal
- Head only, no legs or roller
- Roller sold separately
- Puck mounting needs adapters
Performance notes
The poly-torsion inserts absorb shock loads between trailer and truck, which cuts clunking on starts and stops. The yoke allows head movement, and the interlocking jaws clamp down on the kingpin as the trailer pivots and swivels in turns.

Frequently asked questions
What comes in the box with the CURT 16590?
Only the A30 fifth wheel head. The title says legs or roller required, so those are separate.
Can the CURT A30 mount into a factory puck system?
Yes, the description says it can mount into the puck system of a truck with the towing prep package using CURT OEM puck system legs or roller adapters.
How does the coupling indicator work?
It shows the connection status and is visible from the truck cab, so you do not need to check several times while coupling.
