Video Transcript for All You Need to Know About the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails with Installation Kit

Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Gloss Finish Base Rails with the Installation Kit. Now, these base rails will provide the necessary attachment points for fifth wheel installation. The universal brackets will fit nearly any application. We do also offer semi-custom brackets that can be used to ease installation on certain vehicles. We do sell those separately. I would just recommend using our fit guide to see if they have them available for your application.

This is a complete kit. It includes both rails, the universal brackets, the hardware, and a set of directions on how to install everything. The finish on the rail is a nice glossy black finish. These rails are compatible with fifth wheel hitches like Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Reese, Valley, and Husky. But that should do it for the review on the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Gloss Finish Base Rails with the Installation Kit..

I think you need better boxes to hold steel. You could save money by not having to ship out replacement parts

I had to totally re fabricate the two end pieces but I made them work. Instead of going on inside of I beams I had to make them go on outside of I beams.



by:

Was an easy install considering the age of our truck, 94 f250 diesel. Pulls very nice. Our 1st 5th wheel and where we will begin our retirement journey.



by:

I have an old Chevy 1 ton pickup that I ordered Curt rails for a 5th wheel hitch I wanted to install. One call to etrailer and Madeline hooked me up with the correct rails to fit my truck. They are heavy duty and complete with everything needed to make the install. Good pricing and quality service. Also got free shipping with the order.

Working like a champ after one year. I would recommend this product



by:

Ordered the kit and was missing a steel bracket and had to keep the customer in a rv park for for a week at 750 dollars and was told they would overnight the missing piece and a week later it arrived,last order from them



by:

The rails fit my existing 5th wheel hitch perfectly! The install was VERY difficult. It was very hard installing the bolts above the frame. I could barely get my fingers in between the frame and the bed to get the required two washers and nut on. Then tightening the bolt was super hard also. After a series of choice words I finally got them on. It was suggested that there be 110 lbs of torque on each bolt. The only problem was with the above mentioned bolts, there was no room for a torque wrench. So I tightened just as much as I could muster hoping that it will be good enough. Other than that the instructions were good and self explanatory. I really don't know how else you could attach the bolts where they had to go.

Follow up, the rails have held well! I have had not problems keeping them in place. They have been able to hold the weight of my 5th Wheel trailer. They have not budged one bit.



by:

Have owned this Curt Rail Kit for a year. These rails are very good quality product. I installed them myself, the instructions were clear and easy to follow. I use a Curt Q25 hitch and pull a 40 ft fifth wheel from Florida to Ohio and back, and this combination works very well. etrailer info,price and shipping was excellent.

Still in excellent condition, and working well



by:

The product has not installed but as for delivery it was acceptable. Of course watching the updates on the progress of my package was disheartening as UPS drove by me twice and I could have had my kit 3 days sooner the 5 days to deliver is not bad.

Timothy

The product is performing excellently. Installation was easy and I have had no trouble towing my 25ft. travel trailer.



by:

Molly walked me right through it install went great



by:

When I received my package from ups, the box was trashed and had been taped all over to hold it together. When I opened the box it was missing numerous pieces. I immediately emailed and called etrailer and spoke with someone who took note of every part that was missing and took care of express shipping them to me. Was obviously the mail service that destroyed the package but etrailer took care of it.



by:

We ordered 5th wheel rails and hardware took a few days. Once we received them from UPS the box was tore open and we were missing the hardware. Called etrailers and without hesitation they sent us the equipment that was missing. Thank you so much!



by:

The kit I bought didn't work for the hitch I had. So I just bought a whole new hitch and used the install kit I got from etrailer.



by:

Great product, easy install. Only down fall is it makes loading flat stuff in the truck difficult, but knew that was part of the install going into it.

Zach

After a year, the rails sticking up a little in the bed… it’s a great setup. The little bit of inconvenience of the rails is worth it. The rail system is great, tows great can’t complain.



by:

Package looks like it fell on Niagara falls went through a wood chipper and dropped on my door step

Customer Service will reach out to you.



by:

Work as they should. No problems. Would order again if we need to.
The original set was left in the truck that was sold. Still had the 5th
wheel.



by:

Easy installation, great product, and it's used often. The price was better than anywhere else too. I will buy from etrailer again. I have 7 trailers, so I'll always need parts lol.



by:

I received my order on 11-19-2019 and was very pleased with the product, price and packaging. It arrived undamaged and ready for installation. I can't wait to get it installed and the 5th wheel mounted so I can begin pulling trailers again.



by:

I purchased some new rails for my 5th wheel hitch and they told me it would be delivered today when I ordered and it was spot on. The price was 60 to 100 dollars cheaper then any other place I checked.



by:

Very please with this company. They really take care of their customers. My shipment came to me missing a couple pieces, and when I emailed them they promptly got back with me and sent me the pieces I was missing at no extra cost. Good job etrailer, the world cpuld use a few more good companies like you!



by:

Very solid . the box came in damaged and missing the hardware . I made 1 call and they instantly sent the missing pieces . very happy with my purchase and would definitely buy from etrailer.com again !



by:

Great quality and finish



by:

This completes my setup for my 5th wheel attachment in my truck. Not installed yet. Thank you for your prompt service and delivery.



by:

Rail kit worked great



by:

Few modifications to fit my custom flatbed but was easy to install and works great



by:

My purchase from eTrailer was a simple process and most of all, when delivered, it was exactly as I had ordered.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Rail Kit for a 2014 Chevy Silverado 2500
    The Curt item # C16100 will fit but they are universal and you'll have to drill holes in your truck's frame. Instead, I recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit item # C16411-204. These are custom fit and install in preexisting holes in your 2014 Silverado 2500's frame. You will only need to drill into your truck bed to install these. They fit both the 6-3/4' and 8' bed lengths. I have linked an installation video below that will show you the process for getting the custom...

  • Hitch and Install Kit for 2001 GMC Sierra 1500 for 6000 lb Fifth Wheel
    The Curt E5 Fifth Wheel Hitch you referenced, part # 16516 would be a good choice for your 2001 Sierra if it is equipped with the 6-1/2 foot bed. The E5 features a 4-way pivoting head and a non binding round tube slider. If you have the 8 foot bed, use the non-sliding model, part # C16115. I would also recommend the Curt fifth wheel install kit, part # C16418-104. This is a custom install kit that typically takes half the time to install as a universal kit like part # C16100.

  • Recommended Curt 5th Wheel Install Kit for a 2019 Ram 2500
    The Curt 5th Wheel Install Kit I recommend for a 2019 Ram 2500 is the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram Truck part # C16427-204 which is a custom fit drill free (frame) option. The Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails with Installation Kit part # C16100 I do not recommend because it requires drilling into the frame which is also going to make install more time consuming. If you don't already have an in-bed wiring harness, the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness...

  • 5th Wheel Base Rails For a 2023 Ford F-250 with 8' Bed and No OEM Prep Package
    The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ford # C79BR you were looking at are not a fit for your 2023 Ford F-250 with 8' bed and no OEM prep package. I checked with the manufacturers and was not able to locate a custom 5th wheel installation kit that will work with your 2023 F-250. In order to install 5th wheel rails, you will need to use universal 5th wheel rails. - Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails with Installation Kit # C16100 The universal rails will provide you with...

  • Is The Curt E16 Universal 5TH Wheel Kit a Fit For a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Short Bed?
    With your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 having a short bed it is recommended to have a sliding hitch like the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R16 Roller # 16516. Having the slider will allow you to move the hitch back 12" so you will have enough room to jackknife the trailer for maneuvering without hitting the front corner of the 5th wheel into the back of the cab. The Curt E16 # C16115 which comes with the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Rails and Universal Installation Kit # C16116...

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Kit that Fits 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 Short Bed
    I have a set of industry standard style fifth wheel rails that does fit your 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 short bed but the Curt you mentioned is not listed as a fit. Instead we have the B and W kit part # BWRVK2504 that does fit. This costs a little bit more but it's worth it as it's a custom fit kit which means it's going to install much easier than a universal kit and won't require any frame drilling.

  • What Is the Correct Curt 5th Wheel Install Kit for a 2001 Ford F-350
    The Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails with Installation Kit part # C16100 will fit your 2001 Ford F-350. However, as this is a universal install kit it will require you to drill holes in your frame. If you don't want to drill holes in your frame then you can use the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit part # C16443-204 instead which is a custom install kit therefore it won't require you to drill any holes in your frame.

  • Compatible Base Rail Kit For A 2018 Ram 3500 Dually
    The Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails with Installation Kit - Gloss Finish # C16100 is a universal base rail kit that could be installed in your 2018 Ram 3500 Dually but requires a lot of drilling into the frame to install so I recommend going with a custom fit base rail kit like the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram # C16430-204 instead. This kit has custom fit brackets that require no drilling and make installation simple and quick.

  • Universal 5th Wheel Install Bracket/Rail Kit for 2015 Ram 1500
    Because of obstructions where the rear frame brackets would mount, the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit, part # C16100 won't work on your 2015 Ram 1500. You'd need to use a kit with rear brackets to fit around the obstruction, part # C16306-204. The kit uses industry standard bed rails, which are compatible with Reese, Curt, Valley, and Husky hitches, among others. You will need to drill into the frame for this installation. For a custom kit which shaves about an hour or so from...

  • Comparing the B&W Patriot 16K, Curt A16, and Reese 16K 5th Wheel Hitches
    The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3200, Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16120, and Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30047 all have fully articulating hitch heads so there won't be much of a difference in hitching/unhitching at an angle. I recommend the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16120 over the others for a few different reasons. The first of which is that the A16 has 1" thick, dual interlocking jaws which will do a phenomenal job of reducing...

  • Will The Curt Universal 5th Wheel Base Rail Kit Fit A 2021 Ram 3500
    For A 2021 Ram 3500 you can use the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails with Installation Kit - Gloss Finish # C16100 but they will require drilling into your frame so I recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram # C16430-204 instead which is a custom fit and will drastically reduce your installation time.

  • Does Valley Fifth Wheel Hitch Fit Curt Fifth Wheel Rail Kit part # C16100
    Valley fifth wheel rails were designed to fit the same industry standard rail design as other hitch manufacturers like Reese, Curt, Husky (which is what used to be Valley) etc. 29 inches between side to side mounting holes is a normal length. The distance from front to back should be 22 inches. The Curt fifth wheel rail kit part # C16100 that you referenced will work with your Valley fifth wheel hitch.

  • Installing Curt 20K 5th Wheel Hitch Using Custom Brackets for 2012 Dodge Ram 2500
    A universal 5th wheel base rail kit, such as the Curt # C16100, will fit a wide variety of pickups and so can be moved from the 2006 Ford F350 to your 2012 Dodge Ram 2500 with 8-foot bed. Universal base rail kits like this tend to take longer to install and require more drilling than custom kits. We do offer vehicle-specific custom install kits that use under-bed brackets intended specifically for your 2012 Dodge Ram 2500. These custom brackets will cut your install time in half. You...

    Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rail Kit # C16100 will fit your 2011 Ram 2500 short bed and if it has overload springs you will also need bracket kit # C16301. If you want to save a lot of time and do less drilling for the install I recommend one of the custom install kits we have for your 2500. These custom kits cost a bit more but they don't require you to drill into the frame and they take a lot less time overall for installation. I recommend you use one of the following CUSTOM kits...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Rails and Gooseneck Conversion for 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 with 6.5 Foot Bed
    For your 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 Short box, the design of your gooseneck trailer will dictate whether you need an offset hitch ball or a slider hitch with a gooseneck adapter like # KPG5-R30IP or # KPG5-Q30IP. I've also attached the page to many other options that will adapt a gooseneck to work with a sliding 5th wheel hitch. A great option for a gooseneck trailer with a short box truck is the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler - 2-5/16" Ball - 10" Offset - 24,000 lbs # BWTEXA4200 to give...

  • Is There a Sidewinder Available for a Leland 7930 Pin Box
    I do have a possible solution for you but there is not a rotating pin box available like a Reese Sidewinder for the Leland 7930. Therefore, your only option if you want to tow said trailer is to use a sliding 5th wheel hitch with as much travel as possible. The Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16521 is a good option for this as it offers 12" of front to back travel. In order to install this on a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 you can then use the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation...

  • Do Bed Liners Need to Be Removed to Install a 5th Wheel Hitch
    On vehicles with plastic bedliners it is required that you cut out a hole in the plastic bedliner that is large enough so that the 5th wheel rails can attach directly to the bed of the truck making full metal to metal contact. You will not need to remove the entire bedliner. I attached installation instructions for this product for you to check out also.

  • Will Curt Universal 5th Wheel Install Kit Fit 2002 GMC Sierra 1500LD and Demco HiJacker Ultra Slide
    Yes, the Curt universal 5th wheel installation kit # C16100 will fit your 2002 GMC Sierra 1500LD and it will accept your Demco HiJacker hitch provided it is a model that fits in above the bed industry standard rails. It will not fit the rails if it is the SL series. So if your hitch is # DM6076P-UL-16K or # DM6076P-UL-21K (or any other model for above the bed industry standard rails) it will fit the Curt installation kit.

  • How Many Bolts Per Bracket for Curt Universal Rail Kit of 2009 Ford F-250
    Curt doesn't actually recommend the universal rail kit # C16100 for your 2009 Ford F-250 but since Reese has their very similar kit part # RP30035 as a fit for your truck it would fit and work fine. Now having only one bolt per bracket through the truck bed and to rails would be normal for this type of install so you are fine.

  • Recommendation for a 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for a Toyota Tundra Supercab with a 6.5 Foot Bed
    You will either need a slider hitch or a Sidewinder (see link) to pull a 5th wheel trailer with your Toyota Tundra Supercab, with a 6-1/2 foot bed. For the 6-1/2 foot bed I would recommend a slider hitch and the Curt E5 16K Fifth Wheel Trailer hitch with R5 Roller, item # 16516 is a good choice. Along with this hitch you will need an installation kit for your truck. For the 2007-2010 Toyota Tundra 6-1/2 foot Box, except Crew Max, you will need the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit,...
