I’m satisfied with this product. Fast shipping.
by:
The product itself seems great. Well made and I will say for sure. Maybe I was confused on ordering or something but I put in my vehicle information and looked up the different options that would fit my vehicle. I ordered under that list and now bolt holes don’t line up where they should. I ended up with rails for a newer truck so I ended up having to drill holes in my frame anyway. Which is what I was trying to avoid. Still seems like a quality product but I think the ordering part of things maybe needs a little tweaking. It’s only half done as of now I just hope my brackets will line up when I do the passenger side mounting bracket to frame
by:
never installed but the product seemed alright other than it looked used due to the parts bag being torn open. this kit wasn't the right application for my truck, even after one of etrailers "product experts" said it would fit my 2019 f250. they were wrong. now i have to send back this kit and wait for another. etrailer offered me nothing for my inconvenience. since i am in immediate need of this, i have to pay hundreds of dollars for next day shipping. if i could have found one locally i would have bought it elsewhere. now i'm just hoping the one they say will work this time is correct.
by:
Very pleased, excellent quality and fit my 2016 F250 lariat with ease. Very pleased with the product and the kit.

I have a 2009 ford f250 superduty and this hitch fit like a glove perfect all the way around! Excellent product made of heavy duty steel. It's perfect.
by:
Totally our fault it didn't fit. We didn't enter our truck info to ensure proper fit. These folks made returning this easy and they helped us until we KNEW exactly what we needed. Even though this didn't work out, because of their great customer service we will recommend and order from here again.
by:
This is a great product, install took about 90 min, fit was great on 2011 f-250 . Couple that with free shipping, u can't go wrong.
by:
Heavy duty, what i was looking for. Fits what it says. Fast shipping

This kit made installation a breeze. Easy to follow directions. Fast shipping

Easy installation and works great!
by:
Great price and great company. They were delayed until February and notified me. I said I’d wait and sure enough came a week after I ordered instead of 2 months like they expected. Sure do recommend coming back and buying more from here

Do you have a question about this 5th Wheel Hitch Rail?
  • Can PullRite PUL73RR Be Converted To Work With Industry Standard 5th Wheel Rails?
    Hello David, thanks for reaching out. Yes, it is possible to convert your PullRite # PUL73RR puck system hitch so it will work with an industry standard rail system. What you will need is Pullrite part 2911 which is the short mounting foot set. Sadly, we do not carry this part here at etrailer but it will not be hard for you to find. That part would replace the mounting plates. We do have the rail kit for your 2016 Ford F-350, for that I recommend the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation...

  • Curt Fifth Wheel Rail Kit that Fits 2017 Ford F-250 Long Bed
    Hey Justin, we do have the Curt fifth wheel rail kit you are looking for with the Curt part # C79BR for your 2017 Ford F-250 long bed but the part number you mentioned only fits up to the 2016 model Ford trucks.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for a B&W Turnoverball System
    No, it will not but I have something that does. You'll want to use the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches item # 16310. This will drop right down into your Turnoverball's square receiver and give you a base with industry standard rails. The brackets for the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit item # C16424-104 install in the same place as the brackets for the B&W Turnoverball item # BWGNRK1111.

  • What Rails Will Fit My 2026 Ford F-250 w/o a Puck System That Work with a Curt Fifth Wheel?
    Hi Fredrick, The Curt Custom 5th Wheel Kit for Ford part # C16424-104 is not compatible for your 2026 Ford F-250, so it wouldn't work with your truck's frame. For your 2026 Ford F-250 with a 6 3/4" truck bed without a factory OEM puck system, I recommend you use the PullRite Custom Installation Kit w/Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # PUL82MR. It has custom brackets designed for your truck so there will be little drilling required. The PullRite base rails are compatible...

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Kit For A 2006 Ford F-250 Super Duty
    Your 2006 Ford F-250 requires Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit Item # C16448-104. Item # C16424-104 is designed to fit the 2011-2016 Ford F-250. I would also recommend adding in bed wiring like the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector Item # C56070. This wiring harness will allow you to plug you 7-pole plug from your trailer into a 7 pin connector in the bed of the truck rather than at the bumper. The cable stays contained inside the bed and doesn't...

  • Will PullRite SuperGlide 2900 Work On 2016 Ford F-250 With Curt Rails
    Yes, you can use the PullRite SuperGlide 2900 Model 5th Wheel Hitch on a 2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty with the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit for Ford part # C16424-104 (part # C16104 + part # C16424).

  • Curt 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Install Kit for a 2013 Ford F-350 Long Bed
    We do have a Curt 5th wheel installation kit that will fit your 2013 Ford F-350 long bed but # C16448-104 is designed for older models and will not fit your truck. You will need Curt custom install kit # C16424-204 for carbide finish or # C16424-104 for glossy. Keep in mind that glossy doesn't stay glossy for long! I have linked a video showing an example installation of these kits. For a 5th wheel hitch you can't go wrong with the Curt Q25 # C16265. It's rated for 25,000 pounds gross...

  • Fitment 2021 F-350 Dually
    The Curt # C16424-104 that you referenced is not a fit for a 2021. You will need the Curt # C16424 bracket kit and the Curt # C16204 Universal Base Rails. These 43" Rails are compatible with Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Reese, Valley, and Husky. Their low profile takes very little room in your truck bed.

  • Fifth Wheel Installation Kit That Fits A 2000 Ford F-350
    The Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit for Ford # C16424-104 is actually meant to fit 2011 and newer Ford Super Duty Trucks. Instead, I recommend using the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ford F250 and F350 # C16443-204. These are also custom brackets for your Truck and will minimize drilling for installation.

  • Fifth Wheel Bed Rail/Bracket Install Kit for 2004 Ford F-250
    Although the # C16424-104 bracket/rail kit won't fit your 2004 Ford F-250, we do offer kits that will. I'd recommend a no-drill option like # RP50082-58 Reese fifth wheel install kit which works with industry standard bed rail compatible hitches from Reese, Draw-Tite, Curt, Demco, B&W, Husky, Valley and others. If you'd like to install a 7-way trailer connector in the truck bed so you don't have to run the trailer connector wire up over the tailgate, you can install one using part # 50-97-410. I've...

  • Fifth Wheel installation Kit And Hitch For 2015 Ford F-250 Super Duty 6 3/4 Bed
    The Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit for Ford - Gloss Finish # C16424-104 will fit the Ford F-250, F-350, and F-450 from 2011-2016 that have a 6 1/2' bed and an 8' bed. Unfortunately, this is not a fit for you 2015 Ford-250 Super Duty with a 6 3/4' bed. However, the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit for Ford # C16424-204 is a fit for your Ford F-250 Super Duty. If you need a 5th wheel hitch, the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R16 Roller # 16516, is a fit for your truck...

  • Clearance for Aux Fuel Tank when installing Curt A20 # C16541
    I talked to the manufacturer and they recommended the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Bracket Kit # C16424-104 this will provide up to 61'' of clearance when installing your 5th wheel hitch on the short bed. The size of the fuel tank would also factor in. On the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with R20 Slider # C16541 for example, the Hitch height is 17 1/2 to 21 1/2 inches. The Slider travel is 12" front to back. Hopefully, this will provide enough room to fit your needs.

  • Installing Curt C16036 Puck Compatible 5th Wheel Hitch in 2014 Ford F250 Without Pucks
    The Curt A25 hitch you referenced, part # C16036 is designed to fit directly into the factory pucks installed into the bed of trucks equipped with the factory tow/prep package. If your truck doesn't have the pucks in the bed, there are two alternatives to make that hitch work with your truck. You could use the # C16424-104 custom 5th wheel install bracket/rail kit you'd looked at, but you'd first need to remove the puck-compatible legs on your hitch and replace them with rail-compatible...

  • 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Installation Kit for a 2012 Ford F-250 Short Bed
    Congratulations on your 5th wheel purchase. yes, the Curt installation kit, # C16424-104, will fit a 2012 Ford F-250 short bed as long as it is not a step side bed. This is a custom installation kit that requires NO drilling into the frame to install the below bed brackets. This makes installation easier and quicker. For a short bed truck you will need a slider like # 16516. The slider hitch can be slid back when making tight turns to give you the clearance you will need between the truck...

  • Correct Curt Custom 5th Wheel Rail Kit for a 2008 Ford F-250
    The correct Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit for your 2008 Ford F-250 is part # C16448-204 on our site. The Kit # C16424-104 that you referenced fits 2011 - 2015 years of the F-250. The # C16448-204 kit will give you the same industry standard base rail mounting points for a 5th wheel hitch though so it will still work for your application. If you don't already have a 5th wheel hitch then I recommend going with the Curt A20 5th wheel hitch because it features jaws that provide secure...

  • Comparing Curt 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation Kits for a 2014 Ford F-250 Short Bed
    The difference between Curt 5th wheel trailer hitch installation kits # C16424-104 and # C16424-204 is just the finish of the rails. Kit # C16424-204 has a carbide finish making it more flat or matte black. Kit # C16424-104 has a gloss finish making it more shiny. But you can bet that considering what it is and wear its going it will not stay shiny for long. Curt hitch # C16541 is just the hitch and slider base. The installation kit is sold separately and it will fit in either kit since...

  • Is the Curt Q20 5th Wheel Hitch Compatible with a TrailAir Pin Box
    The Curt Q20 Fifth Wheel Hitch, # C16130, is compatible with a TrailAir pin box as well as other air ride pin boxes. It is not compatible with Sidewinder or Revolution pin boxes because they do not pivot at the fifth wheel hitch. Instead they pivot using a turret at the opposite end of the pin box. To prevent the Sidewinder or Revolution pin boxes from pivoting at the hitch, they use a wedge just behind the king pin that locks the pin box in one position at the hitch head. This wedge...

    The Curt 5th wheel trailer hitch installation kit # C16424-104 does not exclude the diesel models of the 2013 Ford F-350. The DEF tank should not be an issue at all and you will be able to install this installation kit. You can also use # RP50026-58 which was specifically designed to not interfere with the DEF tank.
