Video Transcript for Review of CURT Fifth Wheel Installation Kit - C29BR

Hello, every buddy, this is Jeff etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the CURT Adapter Rails for The Fifth Wheel Hitch on your Dodge Ram Towing Prep Packages. Now, this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 2014 and newer Dodge Ram trucks that have The Factory Fifth Wheel Towing Prep Package. And in a custom fit part like this I do like to recommend for you to go to our website use the fit guide, put it in your year model vehicle and it'll show you if this will work for your application. Now, this is a custom base that is specifically designed to attach to the receivers that are in your Dodge Ram Factory Installed Underbed Fifth Wheel Towing Prep Package.

Once installed the space will provide the industry standard base rails. That'll accept most Fifth Wheel Fixed Leg Hitches and Fifth Wheel Slider Hitches. If I zoom in here just to show you on the tubes here you can see the slots on the cross tube. These are designed to accept the tabs that's on your Fifth Wheel Hitch. So you just drop it right into those slots and then secure it with the pins in the clips.

It is compatible with BMW Curved Demco, Draw-Tight, Hidden Hitch, Husky, and Reese Fifth Wheel Hitches. Now this does also use a quarter turn anchoring system on each corner here for quick installation and removal. And just to show you how you do that. When you go to install this into your Underbed Towing Prep Package as your first do, pop this clip off and that'll release the handle here. All you do is rotate that handle of a quarter of turn.

You can see when you rotate it this tab down here is turning and you'll do this on all four corners. Once they're open like that, drop it into the Underbed System and then rotate your handles back and those cabs will lock it into place. And then to secure it, take your pin slide it back through the post there and it holds that handle from opening and again, you'll do that on all four corners also what's nice, these anchors right here, these are adjustable they'll help eliminate any chucking between the legs and the Underbed Platform. So if it's too tight, you can take out the cutter pin here and then loosen it up. If it's too loose, you can take out that cutter pin and tighten it down.

So it is adjustable, but it's very easy to install, very easy to remove. Now it is protected by a highly durable carbide black powder coat finish on it. Again the application we mentioned is Dodge Ram trucks with the Factory Installed Underbed Towing Prep Package. Capacity on this is 25,000 pounds gross towing weight capacity, 6,250 pounds vertical load capacity. Now you do wanna be aware that the capacity is limited to the lowest rated towing component on your vehicle. But that should do it for the review on this CURT Adapter Rails for The Fifth Wheel Hitch on the Dodge Ram towing prep packages..

Fits like a glove. From the time UPS dropped it off it took 45 minutes to have it installed in the truck and we were hooked up to go camping, which we did! Thanks to the team for getting it shipped asap! 2020 Ram 2500 with the factory puck system.

Easy install fits great. My Demco 5th wheel hitch installed perfectly into rails.



by:
2024 Ram 2500

This Curt puck adapter rail puck system works perfectly. I wanted to put on a PullRite hitch and it fit on perfectly. The only problem i had was dumb dumb put the pucks on backwards so you need to notice the front and back pucks are a different size. Once i got that switched around i was so happy.



by:

Great solution when moving to a truck with the puck system. This was cheaper than buying rails,brackets, and install costs, and when removed the bed is clean.



by:
2022 Ram 2500

it fit perfectly in my RAM 2500 2022 , it reduce the height by 3.5 inch from my original roller Curt set up, since I have air suspension in the back I will simply said be careful when you disconnect because the back of the pick up spring upward when load is removed. The reason I switch was the high of the roller sytem and the puck was way too high for my fifth wheel.

Great!! Solid when its installed. 5 minutes to remove and less to install.



by:
2023 Dodge Ram Pickup

I bought a 2023 Ram 3500 that had the factory pucks in it, so I needed this adapter so I could continue using my B&W Patriot hitch. This fit my truck perfectly and my hitch fits this adapter perfectly. Even better than it fit the rails in my old truck, actually. This does raise the hitch probably an inch higher that it was, so be aware of that. One part of the instructions is out of order. How to adjust the locking mechanism is at the very end. You need to adjust each one as you go. Other than that, it was very intuitive and easy to put together. I did use a little blue Loctite on the nuts, but that's me. This thing is beefy. I'm sure it will last a long time.



by:

This was competitively priced and shipped and arrived quickly. It has already been installed in our truck and we cannot wait to use it to go camping. Thank you for fast, speedy shipping and a quality product.

My Pullrite Supper Glide hitch fit as it was supposed to. Easy to install.



by:

Easiest thing I've ever installed.



by:

great service, quick deliver. what else could you ask for.



by:

Heavier than expected (95#) shipping weight. Which is a good thing. The description probably said that but I didn’t pay attention. The only warning I would give I’d that this with add 3.25” or so of height to your hitch. If you don’t have the adjustment in your set up you may want to look for something a little lower profile. I’m happy with the purchase and very happy with etrailer. Very fast shipping and good prices.



by:

Took about 15 minutes to install. Heavy duty. Can't wait to pull with is

It arrived on time and was very simple to install! I wish everything was that easy!

Very nice rail set up that you can remove when not in use, works great with my Anderson Hitch that was set up for a rail set up on my new 2022 Ram 3500. Also has slots for the chain hooks.

2024 Ram 2500

The box came destroyed after being sent to south Florida instead of Cumming, GA. It sat for 5 days 20 miles from my house before being sent to South Florida. The hitch would be usable but the 8-M12 carriage bolts are missing so it can't be assembled. Now what to do? I need this yesterday.

  • Is Ram M25 5th Wheel Hitch the Same as Curt Q25 5th Wheel Hitch
    Close, the Ram M25 is the same as the Curt Q25 hitch. If that's the style you're wanting then we have the Q25 in 2 different configurations depending on the bed length of your 2018 Ram 3500: 6-1/2' Bed Curt Q25 Slider - # C16566 Adapter Rails - # C29BR 8' Bed Curt Q25 Fixed - # C16049 We recommend using the slider over the fixed for the short beds so that you know you have enough clearance between your truck cab and your trailer during tight turning situations.

  • Is There Rail Kit to Fit B and W Patriot Hitch to 2020 Ram 3500 OEM Pucks
    Hey Chris, if the B and W Patriot is the fixed hitch version you could use the rail kit adapter part # C29BR but if it's the slider there isn't a rail kit adapter available and you'd have to go with a new hitch designed to fit the pucks directly like the B and W Companion Slider part # BWRVK3670.

  • Recommended Sliding Curt 5th Wheel Hitch for the Ram Puck System
    Thanks for the pictures! We do have a few Curt 5th Wheel Hitches with a manual slide. For your Grand Design Reflection, I recommend the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # C16521. The A16 has a 16,000 lbs capacity and the slider base will give you 12" of travel for making tight turns. All of Curt's sliders have to use an adapter like item # C29BR to attach to your 2019 Ram 2500's puck system. If you don't want to mess around with having two different parts the B&W Companion item #...

  • Adapter Rails Needed To Mount A B&W Patriot Slider In A 2017 Ram 2500 With OEM Puck System
    To mount your B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3270 in the bed of your 2017 Ram 2500 with an OEM puck system you'll need the Curt Adapter Rails # C29BR. This will lock into the pucks and provide base rails for your hitch to mount to. I've attached a customer review picture below where they also used this with a Patriot slider.

  • Difference Between The C16022 And C29BR Fifth Wheel Adapters
    Both adapters will fit the puck system in your 2023 Ram 2500. The # C16022 is designed to work only with Curt brand sliding fifth wheel hitches like the # C16541. The # C29BR is more of a universal adapter and can be used with both sliding and fixed fifth wheel hitches. The # C29BR will also work with other brands of fifth wheel hitch such as B&W and Reese. It will work with most fifth wheel hitches designed for industry standard rails. We generally recommend a slider for short bed models,...

  • Comparing The Weight Of The Curt A16 With R20 Slider And B&W Companion Slider OEM 5th Wheel Hitches
    The Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider # C23DR weighs approximately 201lbs and the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch # C29BR weighs approximately 95lbs so you'd be at 296lbs total. The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider for Ram Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3670 weighs approximately 300lbs.

  • Upgrading From Curt E16 to A16 on Ram 2500
    I'm assuming you have adapter rails like # C29BR in your Ram 2500 puck system which are industry standard rails. If that is the case then yes, you can install the Curt A16 # C16521 on the same rails. You can also swap out the head. The Curt R16 # C16560 is the base for both the E16 and A16. The A16 replacement head is the # C16520 and you will also need the head mounting hardware # C35UR.

  • How to Install a Curt Crosswing 5th Wheel Hitch in a Ram Factory Puck System
    Yes, you can. The Adapter Rails item # C29BR will drop right down into the Ram puck system and provide you with a base that works with industry standard 5th wheel hitches. This will allow you to mount the Curt CrossWing item # C86JR in any truck with the Ram factory puck system. Please note that the Adapter Rails item # C29BR will add 2" to the height to your Crosswing hitch. When installed inside your Ram's pucks the adapter sits 2" above the floor of your bed.

  • Does the Curt Q20 5th Wheel Hitch item # C16130 Mount to Rails or a Puck System?
    It is 5th wheel rail mounted. The Curt Q20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # C16130 has a base that attaches to in bed 5th wheel rails. If you are wanting to attach it to a Ram puck system you will need the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch - Dodge Ram Towing Prep Package item # C29BR. If you need a set of 5th wheel rails for a 2016 Ram 2500, I recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram Truck item # C16427-204.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2018 Ram 3500 Short Bed With Prep Package
    The best option for your 2018 Ram 3500 is the B&W Companion # BWRVK3670. If you really don't want this hitch the next best option would be the Demco Autoslide # DM69GV. These are also the only two options that will directly fit the puck system on your truck. A 5th wheel hitch like the Curt A20 # C16541 requires the use of adapter rails # C29BR to fit. A hitch like this may come at a lower price point, but when you add the additional cost of the rails it negates that. You are also going...

  • 2019 Ram 2500 OEM Puck System Adapter for RBW Lil' Rocker 5th Wheel Hitch
    As long as the RBW Lil' Rocker mounts to industry standard base rails you'll need the Curt Adapter Rails # C29BR that fit in the OEM puck system on your 2019 Ram 2500 and give you a standard base rail connection. I'm attaching a photo showing the measurements for the industry standard rail measurement for you to compare with your current 5th wheel hitch and make sure they match.

    You have a couple options for installing the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16180 in the bed of your 2024 Ram 2500 with the factory in bed hitch system. First we have the Adapter Rails # C29BR which fit into the pucks and give you the ISR mounting points. Do note this will raise the hitch 2" so you will likely need to lower the height of the hitch. The next option is replacing your ISR Base # C16907 with the Ram Base # C16021 so you can install the hitch directly into the factory...

  • What is Needed to Install Curt Crosswing Fifth Wheel Hitch in 2021 Ram 3500 with OEM Pucks
    To use the Curt Crosswing fifth wheel hitch # C86JR in the bed of your 2021 Ram 3500 that has the OEM pucks you would need the Curt Ram Rail kit adapter part # C29BR and you'd be set with everything you'd need. This adapter converts the pucks to a set of rails like what the Crosswing was designed for.

  • Slider Base For Mopar 30K Fifth Wheel Hitch In A 2018 Ram 3500
    The Curt S25 Slider for A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # C43DR would be compatible with the head of your M30 hitch and provide 12" of travel for additional turning clearance. The downside is that you'll be lowering your overall towing capacity to 25k so you'll want to ensure it's still enough to handle the weight of the trailer. This slider base also requires base rails so if you have the OEM puck system in the bed then you'll also need the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch # C29BR.

  • Can Curt CrossWing 5th Wheel Hitch Be Installed to 2022 Ram 2500 OEM Puck System
    Currently the Curt CrossWing Lightweight 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C86JR is only made to fit industry standard base rails, but I've heard that Curt will be coming out with a version that secures to a gooseneck hitch ball, like what we see with the Demco Recon # DM8550045-5W, which will essentially make it compatible with the OEM puck system in any vehicle. I don't have a timeframe on when that is coming out though so if you're wanting to use the CrossWing now you'll need to use the Adapter...

    Hey Sam! If your Ram truck has the factory puck system you won't need a set of rails to install an Anderson Hitch. The Andersen Aluminum Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection 2 Gooseneck version item # 3220 will attach directly to the gooseneck ball. If you're looking at one that attaches to 5th wheel rails you'll have to use the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch item # C29BR. This adapter connects to the factory pucks and provides a platform to attach a 5th wheel hitch. What kind of 5th...

    The Curt Crosswing # C86JR is compatible with ISR rails so is a multitude of options for your 2014 Ram 3500 with a 6-1/2' bed. If you have just a standard bed you'll want the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2605. This rail kit has custom fit brackets that require no drilling into the frame to install, which will save a ton of time and frustration.

  • How Tall is the 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for the Dodge Ram Towing Prep Package?

  • Comparing Curt E16 and A16 5th Wheel Hitches for a 2022 Ram 2500 with OEM Puck System
    You are correct that you need the Adapter Rails # C29BR to mount a 5th wheel hitch to the OEM puck system on your 2022 Ram 2500. When it comes to comparing the E16 # C16115 and the A16 # C16120, the E16 is a very entry level 5th wheel hitch while the A16 is more of a standard. This is due to the E16 having a simple slide bar jaw system that still allows the king ping to jostle around some and the hitch head cushioning is a bit more basic. The A16 has a dual jaw system that completely...

  • Will PullRite SuperLite 5th Wheel Hitch Fit Curt Adapter Rails for OEM Pucks on 2018 Ram 2500
    PullRite has a few different 5th wheel hitch setups but as long as your PullRite is designed to fit with industry standard rails, or ISR, then the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch # C29BR is exactly what you need for your PullRite to fit with the OEM puck system on your 2018 Ram 2500. It looks like the SuperLite comes in an ISR configuration as well as one that attaches via gooseneck hitch ball so you should be good to go!
