This hitch is designed for serious fifth-wheel towing with a 16,000-lb gross towing weight rating and 4,000-lb vertical load limit. The sturdy steel construction and carbide powder coat finish give it a solid, durable feel that holds up to long trips and heavy loads. It mounts above the bed rails for strong, stable performance every time you hook up.
The rounded, interlocking two-piece jaw wraps fully around the king pin to give you true 360-degree contact. That tight connection cuts down on rattle and movement that slide-bar models can’t avoid. The result is a quieter, more secure towing experience where you can really feel the hitch holding steady mile after mile.
For short-bed setups or anyone who needs extra turning clearance at slow speeds, the built-in S20 slider moves the hitch up to 12" front to back. It slides smoothly without binding so the trailer clears the cab on sharper turns. The automatic latch in both directions means you only have to climb out once to get your space set up.
The color-coded indicator takes the guesswork out of coupling. Red shows uncoupled, yellow shows ready to couple, and green confirms you’re locked in for towing. The indicators are visible from the cab or beside the bed, so you can check your connection at a glance before rolling out.
When it’s time to use your bed for something other than towing, this hitch breaks down quickly. A single pin lets you lift off the head for one-person removal, and the design keeps it manageable without extra equipment. It’s a simple way to go from tow mode back to full truck bed space whenever you need it.

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the CURT Custom Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit for the Chevrolet and GMC trucks. Now, this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 1999 to 2010 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500, 2500 and 3500 models, with either the six and a half foot bed or the eight foot bed. And on a custom fit part like this, I do like to recommend for you to go to our website, use the fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle. That'll show you if this will work for your application.
Now these brackets right here, they are designed to mount beneath your truck bed to provide the attachment point for your fifth wheel rails. Now those fifth wheel rails, we do sell separately on our website. They go by part number C16104 or C16204. And just give you an idea what those rails look like, they come in a set of two, and again, they'll attach to these mounting brackets on your vehicle. This provides a custom fit by mounting to the existing holes in your vehicle's frame.
That will minimize the amount of drilling that's required to install these, and it'll cut the installation time in half when compared with universal bracket kits. If you notice, it does include all the necessary hardware to install it. It does even come with this nice extra bracket for relocation of the electrical box. And it comes with a nice set of instructions with pictures that'll describe how these parts install. The finish on these brackets is a nice black powder coat finish to resist corrosion.
And these will work with the BMW, CURT, Draw-Tite, and Husky above bed fifth wheel trailer hitches. But that should do it for the review on the CURT Custom Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit for the Chevrolet and GMC trucks..

This was very difficult to install. I feel like it could have easily been designed for an easier install. All the threads were poor, and they all had to be chased with a tap & die. After getting it installed I ended up buying a 5th wheel with a gooseneck hitch - so I replaced it with a ball hitch.

1 Year later, the brackets and rails still look new. the paint hasnt chipped or faded. I interchange a 5th wheel saddle and gooseneck ball plate often and even the paint near the mounting points still looks good.
