Video Transcript for Let’s Check Out the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ford F250 and F350

Today, we're going to take a look at the Curt custom fifth-wheel installation kit with the carbide finish rails for the Ford F-250 and F-350 trucks. This is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 1999 to 2004 Ford F-250 and F-350 trucks with the 6.75 foot bed or the 8 foot bed. On any custom fit part, I always like to recommend for you to go to our website, use our fit guide, put in your year model vehicle, and it'll show you if this part will work for your application. These custom brackets, right here, are designed to mount beneath your truck bed. They are what provide the attachment points for your fifth-wheel rails to connect to. These are custom-fit brackets.

They will mount to existing holes in your vehicle's frame, and this will help minimize the amount of drilling that's required, and the installation time is cut in half when compared with universal bracket systems. The base rails themselves, that is what these base rails are what will attach to these mounting brackets. The base rails will sit in your truck bed, and they allow the installation of your fifth-wheel hitch to your vehicle. These are visible above-bed rails. These happen to have a nice, carbide finish to them.

This part includes everything shown here on the table. It includes the two above-bed base rails, the two mounting brackets, one for each side, all the mounting hardware that's needed to install it and a nice set of detailed instructions. This kit will work with fifth-wheel hitches from Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, Reese, and Valley. That should do it for the review on the Curt custom fifth-wheel installation kit with the carbide finish rails for the Ford F-250 and F-350 trucks.

Normally I'm pleased with Curt hardware/equipment, but this time I'm not as impressed. This 5th wheel rail and mount kit was supposedly designed for my 2002 F250, however the mounts that bolt to the frame didn't fit properly. I had to ream out the factory holes in the frame to allow the front bolts to secure the mount to the frame, and I had to ream out two of the holes in the mount to allow the rear rail bolts to work. Also there is a hole in the center of the mount as well as a corresponding hole in the frame that could be used to provide a 3rd securing bolt for the mount to the frame, however the frame is designed with a concave portion the and the mount is flat. A spacer could be used to fill the gap, or the mount could have been designed to better forth the frame in this section. As it is, there are only 2 bolts per mount securing it to the frame. When I have time I'll find a spacer to fill this gap and add a 3rd bolt to better secure the mount and thus the rails to my pickup. The carbide finish looks great and the rails and mount are built strong, just they could have been designed to fit better and more secure than they were.

rails are working out just fine, no problems at all.

by: Patrick 06/19/2023

Very solid and well built. Installation took me longer than advertised. The instructions were a little vague, but I figured it out. A few extra carriage bolts and flange nuts would have been nice. All in all, everything lined up perfectly when I measured carefully as outlined in the instructions. I towed with it yesterday for the first time, and it worked great!

My wife and I installed this in 3 hrs. We are in our mid 70’s. We had access to a 2 post lift which made this much easier as we could raise and lower the truck as needed for access. Although some say the instructions were vague I had no problem, just read them through first and begin. As the instructions stated some vehicles may have some differences as we found that the hole for the front driver side bolt needed to be drilled into the frame. After the bracket was mounted we just used the existing hole in the bracket as a guide. We previously installed an AIR LIFT AL59393 kit and it works great with this rail kit. We did our research to be sure they worked together. If you want to be sure about compatibility call etrailer and talk to one of the experts.

Installation of the Curt C16443-204 custom rail kit was a snap on my 2000 F350 dually. The instructions were pretty generic but not to hard to figure out. Once in place it was easy to line line everything up to fit the hitch in and tighten everything down.

Customer service for product selection and order entry were excellent and focused on my interests and needs. The hitch, custom installation kit, and harness were shipped very quickly and arrived sooner than expected. Everything arrived in excellent condition. Assembly and installation instructions were very clear and specific, and I was able to assemble and install everything with no problems and in a very reasonable amount of time. Total cost was roughly half of what it would have been if I had purchased the products and had them installed by a dealer. I am very satisfied with my experience dealing with etrailer.com, and would highly recommend them to anyone shopping for towing products.

Great price for a decent product. I would have given 5 stars but the instructions are crapy. If your thinking of getting this kit and your a do it your self-kind of person. The 60 minutes install won't work. I spent 4 hours on mine. I was missing one lock washer I think even though it's not called out in the picture. Lay out all your fasteners first! There are two spacer/washers that are thinner than the rest. Make sure you get them in the proper location. The brake fasteners go between the plate and frame. From the instruction, it looks like they pass through the frame. They don't so I will need to remove the left plate to get that right. Other than that it's a great product that could use a better instruction sheet.

I HAVEN'T HAD ONE PROBLEM WITH MY HITCH. I bought it about a year ago. I arrived sooner than I was told it would and it is still in the box. I never opened it or installed it. But I do plan to.

I think it is impressive and tells you that CURT HITCHES are confidant in there products, that they reach out after a year and ask how it is performing. How time flies. Its been another year and my hitch is still in the box it came in. I sold the truck I was going to put it on and have not replaced it with one that I plan to hang onto long enough to bother installing it on. I will have another F series truck though as my forever truck, that this will fit. At that time I will proudly install this hitch. I cant wait!

by: Phillip 04/25/2024 One Year Later

One year removed from installation at this point. Installation went as well as could be expected, as my truck had 350,000 miles and 23 years in service at the time of installation. Compounding the situation was a very thick spray-in bedliner and a pretty severe bow in the bed from a dropped load. I had to leave out a few of the rail spacers on account of the aforementioned handicaps. I'll report that with some careful, coordinated bolt tightening, after all items were in place, I have 2 heavy, high quality 5th-wheel rails that work well. I'm in the salt belt, (the truck is from Phoenix), so I re-painted everything that was exposed and it's held up well so far. I'd recommend for other customers, both the product and the store. etrailer is great and so is Curt - this is my second Curt product from etrailer and both were great experiences all-around.

by: Ed 03/05/2021 One Year Later

Bought these rails for my 5th wheel trail hitch and they out performed my expectations, they lined up with the factory holes in the truck frame and bolted right in and plus they held up to the few time I had to lock up my brakes when I was cut off. For sure i thought I would lose my rig with with the hitch breaking away or the rails giving out but they performed like they're supposed to do. I highly recommend them and more so cause of the great price. Can't be beat!!

I ordered this for my 2004 Ford F250 Super Duty. Shipping was fast and arrived in good condition. Installation was straight forward and works perfect for the multiple 5th wheel hitches I’ve used it for. Would buy here again if I ever need anything else. Also, the price was the same or cheaper than elsewhere and the detailed and helpful website was the deciding factor why I purchased here.

Product came without any hardware. Box was undamaged ,just no hardware with it.
I called customer service .They were very helpful and had the appropriate hardware sent out.
A week later the hardware package showed up and installation was straight forward. I started on the passenger side as that is the easiest because the drivers side has brake cables that must be disconnected .My truck is a dually so I jacked it up ,used jack stands,wheel chocks, and removed the wheels. This proved to make the installation much easier. Installation time 4 hours . Took my time. Had to drill a couple of holes for the front bolts to the frame but I am very satisfied . Took off one star for the bolts being missed. Etrailer is great .

by: Derek 05/24/2024

This is the fourth time I've installed a 5th wheel kit on any of my trucks,i have done this many time. This time I went with three Curt 16443 5th wheel brackets. Poor instructions, I could have bought a different kit with better instructions for significantly less. Buy the universal 5th wheel kit from your local autoparts store.

Also, this kit only uses TWO grade 5 bolts to secure each bracket to the frame whereas the universal kit uses two bolts per bracket (four brackets total), nor can I seem to find an install video. Overall, I am not happy.

2003 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty

I ordered the hitch mount for a 2003 F250. When I received it the instructions said it doesn’t fit some 2003 models. Had I known this I wouldn’t have bought it. I had to drill several holes to make it fit and it was missing some hardware. It is not coming back off but I’m less than happy with the misinformation.

For clarification according to the installation instructions the fit note regarding 2003 and earlier models was in reference to competitors 5th wheel systems, and not in reference to the vehicle fit. For this kit the passenger side frame hanger will need to have holes drilled for complete installation.

Bolt through box were a little short. Bed liner might not have been factored in. But they sent out longer bolts right away. Got the next day or two. Wish it came with a few more measurements on how far apart they should be than just put the hitch in and tighten the bolts down.

Great product that fit the way it should. Installed by my self in a few hours and then dropped on my fifth wheel hitch and proceeded to haul about 20,000lbs about 9,000 miles. Couldn't ask for better.

Etrailer.com has become my go-to site for everything. They're communication is excellent. When I asked for my item to be express shipped and they realized they couldn't get it to me in time because it wasn't in the warehouse, they quickly suggested a similar item and had it to me on time. Install on my Curt 5th wheel rails was a breeze and I just placed another order for more items that I would normally purchase from a competitor! Plus FREE SHIPPING and the low price guarantee! How could you go wrong? Thanks Etrailer

Arrived fast. I installed myself on a 2004 F250; relatively simply, but I did have to drill out a hole in the truck's frame... which would be tough it you don't have a heavy duty drill motor. My existing air bags had to come off first. Took a good 6 hours to install. Overall, I am totally satisfied with the product!

Hi Jeremy! B&W does indeed have an option for your 2001 Ford F250.

For your 2000 F-250 you would have to use the B&W Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit # BWRVR3200 to stay with B&W rails and under bed brackets.

Where do the Spacers Install, Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16443-204 2003 Ford F-350
The square spacers go between the rails and the truck bed where the bolts go through that attach to the nuts on the under side of the bed. They should be placed in the lower corrugation in the bed. Sometimes, a hole for the bolt has to be drilled in the side of one of the raised corrugations. In this case, you can use an angle grinder and trim the spacer at a 45 degree angle so that it will fit. So you would have a bolt going through the rail, then the spacer (which is between the rail...

Installing A 5th Wheel Hitch In A Lifted 2000 Ford F-250 Super Duty
There isn't any additional hardware to purchase to install your 5th wheel but you may need to lift the trailer to reach the minimum height clearance. The issue you're going to have with a lifted truck is the clearance between the nose of the fifth wheel and the bedrails of your truck. I've had some cases where the only option was too remove the lift to be able to tow the fifth wheel. To properly tow your 5th wheel you'll need to have 6" of clearance from the nose of your 5th wheel and 16"-24"...
