This hitch is built from heavy-duty steel and rated for 25,000 lbs GTW with a 6,250 lbs vertical load limit, giving you the strength to tow even the biggest 5th-wheel campers with confidence. The carbide powder coat finish helps resist rust and wear, so it stays solid through years of use. It’s a tough build that feels locked in and steady when you’re backing in and hitching up.
The dual-jaw system wraps completely around the king pin to cut out slop and clunking. This full-contact grip holds firm to reduce noise and movement while you’re on the road. Combined with the cushioned double pivot head and rubber bushings, it helps smooth out bumps and minimize chucking so long drives feel stable and quiet.
Before hitting the road, a quick glance tells you exactly where the jaws stand—red means uncoupled, yellow means ready to couple, and green means locked for towing. You can see the indicator without climbing into the bed, so you know at a glance that your trailer is secure. It’s a simple system that gives peace of mind every time you hook up.
When it’s time to use your truck bed again, this hitch breaks down easily into two pieces without tools. Just pull one set of pins to lift off the head, then another to remove the base. Each piece is manageable on its own, making storage or removal simpler after a trip. It’s a practical design that lets you switch between hauling and everyday use fast.
The complete kit includes the head, legs, custom-fit brackets, above-bed rails, and all mounting hardware. The brackets line up with existing frame holes for straightforward installation. With everything in one package, setup is clean and clear so you can get towing sooner and focus on the trip ahead.

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.

Rails work flawlessly. Between two hitches and a GN adapter all have fit without any problems.

Hi Sam, Thank you for your review! If your truck does not have the OEM gooseneck package, then I would recommend getting the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, part BWRVK3500-5W and Part BWGNRK1384 . This setup will give you a much more solid connection to your truck and should help eliminate the jarring you are talking about.

Great, easy installation, great instructions, a little time consuming but that was expected for a excellent hitch specific installation.
