A20 Two-Piece Interlocking JawA20 Two-Piece Interlocking Jaw

Unlike slide-bar models, the rounded, interlocking, two-piece jaw on this fifth-wheel trailer hitch inhibits rattle and movement by securely wrapping around your trailer's king pin, resulting in easier hookup and a safer, quieter ride.


Three-Point Indicator System

Get peace of mind with Curt's color-coded lock indicator. Just look at the indicator - either the one on the handle or the one on the hitch itself - to determine whether the jaw is in the correct position to uncouple (red), couple (yellow) or tow (green).

Video Transcript for What to Know About the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails

Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the CURT Universal Carbide Black Finish Fifth Wheel Base Rails. Now, these base rails will install in your truck bed. And they provide the necessary attachment points for your fifth wheel hitch installation. Now, when these rails are used with the CURT's Custom Mounting Brackets, which we sell separate on a website, these rails will cut in half the time it takes to install your fifth wheel trailer hitch.

We mentioned the finish on this. I'm gonna zoom in and sort of show it. It's a carbide black finish, sort of like a matte black finish, so it matches the finish if you use it on the CURT Q5 20K Fifth Wheel Hitch. Now, these rails are universal, so they will work with the following fifth wheel hitches. They work with the CURT brand, the Draw-Tite, the Hidden Hitch, the Reese, and even the Husky.

This part here will include the two base rails. Now, we mentioned the mounting brackets, the custom mounting brackets, the hardware, and an installation kit is all sold separately. The length on these rails, if we put a tape measure on them from one end to the other, right at 43 inches long. But that should do it for the review on the CURT Universal Carbide Black Finish Fifth Wheel Base Rails.

  • Comparing the Curt Q20 and the Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitches.
    As far as height adjustability and weight capacities the Curt Q20 # C16130 and the Curt A20 # C16140 are identical. They both have a Gross Towing Weight of 20,000 lbs, a Vertical Load Limit of 5,000 lbs, and a height range of 13-17 inches. When it comes to choosing which one is better, even though they are both excellent choices, I recommend going with the A20 because it has more features. Right off the bat the A20 has interlocking jaws to secure your king pin as opposed to the Q20 jaw...

  • What Is The Towing Capacity Of 2011 Ford F350 6.7L XLT SRW Crew Cab 8' Bed?
    Hello CJ, thanks for reaching out. Based on the towing capacity chart I found online, the bumper pull capacity of a 2011 Ford F350 6.7L SRW Crew Cab is 14,000 lbs. The Curt Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # C99NR has a 10K capacity when used with the 2" ball, and a 15K capacity with the 2-5/16" ball. So as long as the 5-1/2" drop is sufficient for your trailer, that will be a great choice for a ball mount.

    Yes, they are! Both the Reese item # RP56016-53 and the Curt item # C16424-204 5th wheel rails are compatible with your B&W Patriot Hitch item # BWRVK3270. These rail systems are also custom fit for the 2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty. I have linked installation videos below for both sets of rails. I recommend going with whichever one is more affordable.

  • Are The Curt 5TH Wheel Rails For 2015 F-250 Compatible With Pull-Rite SuperGlide?
    Yes, the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit # C16424-204 for your 2015 Ford F-250 will allow you to use the Pull-Rite SuperGlide 2700ISR. I do recommend the Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness # 41157 be installed at the same time. This way you can plug the 7-way into your bed.

  • Pros and Cons of 5th Wheel Hitch With a Slide Bar Jaw Versus a Dual Jaw Hitch
    The difference between a slide bar jaw and a dual jaw is how tightly the fifth wheel king pin is held. Both do a good job securing the king pin, preventing it from coming loose. The Dual Jaw will hold the king pin much more tightly, preventing the king pin from rattling around in the pin box. Any movement of the king pin in the hitch jaws will be easily felt and heard in the truck cab. Every time the you brake or accelerate, if there's any movement in the hitch jaws-you're gonna feel...

This applies to both short and long bed trucks. On the other hand, the front rail on the Curt 5th Wheel Installation Kit # C16448-104, for the 2013 Ford F-150 installs 50.938 inches, again measured from the rear edge of the truck box to the rear edge of the front rail, regardless...

    You are going to need to add rails for your 2016 Ford F-250. Your truck did not come with the factory under bed prep/puck system. I have a couple different options you can consider for carrying a 5th wheel hitch. First is the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit # C16424-204 which will install above bed rails. These are the rails which were traditionally used with most 5th wheels installed in trucks. The above bed rails are always mounted inside the truck but they will allow you to...

  • Base Rail Kit for PullRite #4100 5th Wheel Hitch on a 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty
    It looks like the 16K SuperGlide #4100 you have comes with 2 different mounting options; industry standard base rails (also known as ISR) or the SuperRails (unique rails by PullRite). If your 5th wheel hitch installs using the ISR setup then I recommend going with the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit # C16424-204 if your tow vehicle is the 2013 Ford F-250 you had in our fitguide system. If it isn't this vehicle just let me know what the year/make/model is for your truck and I can...

  • Dimensions Used to Install Curt Fifth Wheel Rail Kit # C16424-204
    When installing the Curt fifth wheel rail kit part # C16424-204 the distance from the rear truck bed edge to the rear of the fron rail is going to be 54-3/16 inches. You'll use the fifth wheel hitch to place the rear rail once you have the front rail positioned. This ensures you install the rear rail perfectly in relation to the front rail.

    You will have several options for mounting a 5th wheel hitch in your 2016 Ford F-350. First is the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit for Ford # C16424-204. This system gives you rails that will mount inside your bed and accept either a Sliding Hitch # C16541 for a short bed or Fixed Hitch # C16130 for a 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!

The Reese Sidewinder cannot be used with any Gooseneck Adapters because they do not offer a secure enough mounting point with the gooseneck ball and you do not want two pivot points in your towing setup.

  • 5th Wheel Towing Capacity for 2011 Ford F-350 and Recommended Hitch and Rails
    There a quite a few factors that contribute to the actual towing capacity for trucks like the 2011 Ford F-350 that you are looking at such as its engine size, axle ratio, cab size, and drivetrain. I was able to find the towing specs sheet for the 2011 Ford F-350 and its 5th wheel towing capacity can range from as low as 12,300 pounds (6.2L Engine, 3.73 Axle Ratio, Regular Cab, SRW, 4X4) to as high as 22,700 pounds (6.7L Turbo Diesel, 3.73 axle ratio, Regular Cab, DRW, 4X2) and numerous...

  • Will A 2016 Ford F-250 With A Tommy Gate Lift Have Enough Clearance To Tow A 5th Wheel Trailer
    The extra length the Tommy Gate lift on your 2016 Ford F-250 is going to be a factor, but is really dependent on the amount of space you have from the king pin to the body of your 5th wheel. The king pin is the portion of your pin box that actually locks into the hitch. The hitch should sit right above your axle (some hitches can sit a few inches back but it's best to have it over the axle to distribute the weight properly.) so you can measure from the axle back to the outermost edge...

  • Footprint of the Curt A25 5th Wheel Hitch
    Hey David, the Curt A25 # C16180 will work with your 8' bed and is not a sliding hitch. You don't need a sliding hitch with an 8' bed since the bed is long enough. This hitch will just drop into any standard set of 5th wheel rails, and will be ready to roll. What kind of dimensions do you need? I can tell you this hitch has a 22" x 29" footprint, but if you're looking for something else, let me know! With your trailer being 18k, I'd get either a 20 or 25k so this hitch is perfectly fine...

If you have regular ISR rails you can use # BWRVK3200 which has only a 16K capacity but its still made by B&W, or you can use the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16180 which has the 25K capacity you're looking for, but it isn't made by B&W.

So to turn your A25 fixed hitch into a slider hitch, all you need is the following: - Curt S25 Slider for A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # C43DR

  • How to Select Hitch Height Setting for Curt A25 Fifth Wheel Hitch
    Hey Mark, it really comes down to what's going to allow your trailer to sit level with at least 4-6 inches of bed rail to trailer overhang clearance. Since the A20 and the A25 are very similar I would assume you'd want to use the same set of mounting holes on the A25 as the old hitch as long as the trailer was being towed level. But you should verify after that point if your trailer is able to be towed level.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Rails for a 2019-2025 RAM 3500 Cab Chassis
    Hey Tony. To use the Curt A25 5th Wheel Hitch item # C16180 on a 2021 Ram 3500 cab and chassis, you're going to need to install the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails with Installation Kit item # C16200. There are no custom fit kits for the cab and chassis models so these will require some drilling to get set up. Do you have any kind of utility or flat bed installed on your truck?

  • Recommended Curt 5th Wheel Hitch For 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500 For 20,000 lb Trailer
    Since your Alliance trailer has a 20,000 lb GVWR, you'll need a hitch with a capacity that exceeds that, and the best option from Curt is the A-Series. You didn't mention if your 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500 had the OEM puck system, or if you already have bed rails installed, or if it was a short bed or long bed, so I'll list out every potential option: - Short Bed WITHOUT OEM Puck System: Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16429-204 & Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S25 Slider...

  • Comparing Goose Box to 5th Wheel Pin Box and Hitch Regarding Articulation and Capacity
    The Reese Goose Box # RP94720 has an integrated air back and shock system that will help on rough terrain. It works very much the same as some pin boxes like the Trailair Flex Air- 21,000 lbs # RP85FR. The issue you will find is that your trailer weight given is greater than the pin boxes we carry. The Goose Box is only rated for 20K and our pin boxes max at 21K. For the capacity you are seeking, I recommend the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch- 25,000 lbs # C16180 which has a fully...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2020 Ford F-250 with and without Factory Puck System
    I can absolutely make a 5th wheel hitch recommendation for your potential 2020 Ford F-250, whether you get it with the factory puck system in the bed or not. Starting with my recommendation for the factory puck setup, I really like the Curt A25 5th Wheel Hitch # C16036. This will drop right down into those pucks and it features an interlocking 2-jaw system that will completely wrap around the trailer's king pin. What this does is not only provide an extremely secure connection with the...

  • Can You Add 5th Wheel Pucks To a 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500
    I do have an option for you but if they were not installed from the factory, there is no way to add pucks to a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. Therefore, if you want to install a fifth wheel hitch you will need to install a set of above bed base rails like the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit part # C16429-204. I have attached an install video I did on this kit if you'd like to give it a watch. These rails will work with pretty much any hitch so long as said hitch is designed to...

    Yes, the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16180 will sit in the center of the rails. If you take a look at the diagram I've added you can see where you would need to install the Curt Brackets and Base Rails # C16448-204 on your 2008 Ford F-250 or F-350 and where the center line of the hitch is in relation to the brackets.

  • Fitting A New 5th Wheel Hitch On A Truck With Older Style Rails
    I do have a solution that will allow you to keep the Demco Hijacker Premier Series Mounting Brackets # DM8552027 that are already installed on your vehicle. You will have to change your existing older style rails for universal rails that will fit newer style hitches. The Universal Above-Bed Base Rails for Demco # DM6071 will work great, as this will bolt up to your current brackets. For the 5th wheel hitch itself, I recommend either the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16120 or the...

  • Can Curt Q24 Fifth Wheel Hitch be Used with Rota Flex Pin Box
    If you locked out the rotating portion of the Rota-Flex pin box you could use the Curt Q24 # C16245 with it. Or if you wanted to keep using that feature of the pin box you could go with the A25 hitch part # C16180 which is a redesigned version of the Q24 that will work with the RotaFlex.

  • Is The Curt Q25 Fifth Wheel Hitch Compatible With Rota Flex Pin Boxes
    The whole Curt Q-Series line like the Curt Q25 # C16265 you referenced is not compatible with the Rota Flex pin box line like the # LC328330, nor are they compatible with rotating pin boxes. The pivoting system of the pin box works against the pivoting system of the hitch head and can cause the components of the head to deteriorate, ultimately leading to the hitch head failing. The only option is to either replace the pin box with one of the same bolt pattern or to replace the hitch....
