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

A20 Color 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.

  • Availability of Industry Standard Fifth Wheel Rail Kit for 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500
    Hey Ryne, yes we sell the industry standard fifth wheel rail kits separate from our hitches but for some reason we make them harder to find than they should be. So for your 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 you would want the part # C16429-204. Do you have a hitch already?

  • Torque Specs And Instructions For Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit C16429-204
    Hey Dave, yes, I can definitely help with that. For the Curt Rail Kit # C16429-204 you will torque all 1/2" hardware to 110 ft-lbs, and all 5/8" hardware to 210 ft-lbs. The U-bolts are 75 ft-lbs. I have provided a screenshot, as well as a link to the manufacturer instructions for you below. Hope this helps! What kind of 5th wheel are you hauling? How are you liking your Patriot 5th wheel hitch so far?

  • Curt Fifth Wheel Rail Kit and Hitch Recommendation for 2020 GMC 3500 without OEM Rail Kit
    The correct Curt rail kit you need for your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 long bed without the OEM rail kit is the part # C16429-204 so that you can install a Curt hitch like the very well designed A20 part # C16140 which has more capacity than you'd need and has the best jaw design Curt has come up with which gives you a quiet and very secure ride quality. These two part numbers would be all that you'd need.

  • Do Air Bags Fit 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 With 5th Wheel Hitch in Bed
    Yes, you can absolutely add the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2613 to your 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 that has a 5th wheel hitch in the bed. The reason you can do so is that the air bags install to the bottom of your truck's frame so the air bags will not interfere with a base rail kit like the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC Truck # C16429-204 that fits your 2020 Silverado 2500. That means you can use a fifth wheel hitch like the sliding Curt A20 # C16541...

  • Are Curt Base Rails Compatible With Reese Kwik Slide 5th Wheel Hitch on 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500HD
    Your Reese Kwik Slide 16k 5th wheel hitch mounts to above-bed industry-standard base rails, so yes, it is absolutely compatible with the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC Truck # C16429-204 that fit your 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500. You have made a really great choice because these rails do not require any drilling into the frame of your Silverado 2500, which is not only good for the truck, but also significantly cuts down on the installation time.

  • Which Curt Fifth Wheel Rail/Bracket Kit Fits 2022 Chevy/GMC Truck
    For a 2022 GMC/Chevy truck the Curt fifth wheel rail kit part # C16429-204 is the correct fit and for just the bracket kit the part # C16429 is correct...BUT the bracket kit is not compatible with Pullrite rails. You can't mix and match the bracket and rail brands so you would have to go with the Curt complete rail kit. If the hitch you have is a Pullrite and it's one of their ISR style hitches it will be compatible with this rail kit.

  • Will Curt Q16 Fit Curt Base Rails In 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500
    Hi Catherine! The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC - Gloss Finish # C16411-104 is not designed to fit your 2022 Silverado 2500. However, Curt base rails are industry standard so if you're Q16 is set up to fit ISR rails it will fit rails like the # C16429-204 designed for the 2022 model. Do you have the OEM prep package? I see you went ahead and picked up the # CU53FR. Swapping out the legs will allow you to install the Q16 in your truck assuming you have the puck system.

  • Recommended Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2025 Chevy Silverado 2500
    Congrats on the new truck! Since you have the shorter 6-3/4' bed in your new 2025 Silverado 2500 it is recommended to go with a slider hitch like the Curt A16 item # C16521 you referenced. This will give you the proper turning clearance so you don't have to worry about hitting your truck when you're making tight turns. There's two different configurations of this hitch depending on whether or not your 2025 Chevy Silverado 2500 came with the factory puck system or not. I have listed them...

Since your 2025 Silverado 2500 does not have the prep package you can use the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC Truck # C16429-204. This kit comes with custom brackets and base rails so you will be able to mount the 5th wheel hitch in your new truck. Any big trips planned once you get your new truck setup for towing?

The first and easiest would be if you have the prep package.

    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...

    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...

    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? You can add this information and any other questions you have where it says Reply to Jerred H and I'll...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Does Curt A25 Fifth Wheel Hitch Ride in the Center of the Rails on a 2008 Ford F-250 or F-350?
    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....

  • 25k Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2025 Chevy Silverado 3500 Long Bed
    Hey Daryl, so for a fifth wheel hitch setup that has a 25k capacity I would go with the Curt A25 kit part # C43BV which comes with a really nice hitch that has an easy to use and quiet since it holds the king pin so tightly. It also comes with a custom install rail kit that doesn't require frame drilling as well. The hitch also has one of the wider height ranges of 13 to 17 inches so that will help dial in allowing your trailer to sit level too. Got any big trips planned?
