Features to know about

No Frame Drilling: Custom Brackets Mount to Existing Holes

This kit makes installation easier by using custom-fit brackets that attach to the existing holes in the frame. You don’t have to drill into the frame, which keeps it strong and clean. The custom brackets mount underneath the bed and provide solid attachment points for the above-bed rails, helping you get everything set up in about half the time of a universal kit.

Flexible Hitch Compatibility: Industry Standard Rails for Multiple Brands

The included above-bed rails use the industry-standard mounting pattern, so they work with 5th wheel hitches from Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Reese, Valley, and Husky. That means you have flexibility to use your existing hitch or switch brands later on without changing the rails. They also support most 5th wheels, rollers, and gooseneck adapters for a wide range of towing setups.

Durable, Clean Look: Gloss Black Powder-Coated Rails

The visible rails are finished in a glossy black powder coat that matches most hitches and adds a clean, finished look to the truck bed. Each rail is co-cured in a rust-resistant liquid Bonderite coating to help protect against corrosion and wear. This gives you a long-lasting, solid mounting system that looks good and holds up to regular use.

Complete Setup: Brackets, Rails, and Hardware Included

Everything you need for the install is included in one box—custom brackets, base rails, and the necessary hardware. The rails sit in the bed to provide a stable base for your fifth wheel hitch, while the brackets mount beneath the bed to keep the setup solid and secure.

  • Why is Curt Fifth Wheel Rail Kit part # C16430-104 Listed as No Drill
    Hey Dan, so that's a great question. The Curt rail kit part # C16430-104 should be listed as no "frame drilling" and not just no drilling at all as that's a bit misleading. So the universal style rail kits require drilling into the truck's frame which is pretty difficult whereas the custom kits like this only drill through the bed which is a lot easier.
