Sick of spending hours installing your fifth-wheel hitch? The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram cuts installation time in half with its vehicle-specific brackets. No drilling is required into the frame, providing a seamless fit with pre-existing holes. The installation is so straightforward that it feels like the brackets were tailor-made for your truck.
If you're switching between different trailer hitches, the included base rails in this kit make it a breeze. These rails sit effortlessly in your truck bed and are compatible with top brands like Curt, Draw-Tite, and Reese. Whether you're using a fifth wheel, a roller, or even a gooseneck adapter, this rail system supports them all, making towing multiple trailers simple and convenient.
Worried about your hitch parts rusting or losing their sheen? The rails and brackets are protected with a robust carbide powder coat finish. Co-cured in a rust-resistant liquid Bonderite coating, this finish not only looks great but stands up to harsh elements, ensuring longevity and resilience for the countless miles ahead.
Forget about the limitations. The Curt Installation Kit # C16430-204 is designed to support the weight rating of any compatible 5th wheel hitch you choose. You're only limited by the hitch or the vehicle itself, so if you're eyeing a hefty gooseneck adapter for those heavy-duty tasks, these rails are up to the challenge.
Whether you're hauling your RV for a cross-country trip or moving equipment across town, the compatibility of these industry standard above-bed rails ensures a fit with various models of 5th wheels. This mix-and-match capability means you have options, giving you full control over your towing setup.
The visible rails combined with a rust-resistant liquid Bonderite coating keep your installation kit looking and performing like new. This extra layer of protection keeps rust at bay, so you can focus on the journey ahead without worrying about unexpected maintenance or part replacements.

Now this is a custom fit part, it is designed to fit the 2013 RAM 2500 trucks and also the 2013 and newer RAM 3500 trucks without the OEM prep package.

The custom mounting brackets on the side right here, these will mount beneath your truck bed. And as you can see, they'll provide the attachment points for these fifth wheel base rails.
The base rails is what'll sit in your truck bed and allows the installation of your fifth wheel trailer hitch to your truck. Now the custom mounting brackets on the side here, I'm gonna zoom in. If you notice the way they're configured, they are custom fit brackets. They're designed to mount to existing holes in your vehicles frame. You can see to have the holes in the brackets.
This will help minimize any drilling and the installation time is cut in half compared with the universal mounting brackets that are out there. Now this is a complete kit and includes the mounting brackets we mentioned, the base rails, and the mounting hardware. Comes with a nice set of instructions that'll describe how it all goes together. Now the rails, as we mentioned, these will be visible rails in your truck bed.

Now these rails are industry standard rails. They are compatible with B and W, Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, and Reese above bed fifth wheel trailer hitches. But that should do it for the review on the Curt carbide black custom rit fifth wheel installation kit for the RAM trucks.
Maybe need to work on the packaging part of the process. Not real sure if I have all the pieces to the product since the box was completely ripped apart. We order from etrailer all the time and it’s the same issue every time. The packaging process
Good quality and well made construction...easy to assemble...Thank you
I bought a 2019 Ram truck and contacted Reese needing a tiedown kit for the 20,000 pound hitch I already owned as the tiedowns from my old Dodge truck was different. They told me I would have to buy a new hitch (around $2,000) as there was not a tiedown kit for the new style frame on my Ram truck.
I shopped around and got the same answer, finally talking to a etrailer associate, as I had found online a 20,000 lb Curt hitch for$850.00, I was ready to order but carried on the conversation informing him of my situation with the Reese hitch, he said let me check on something first. He came back with good news he could sell me a kit that would fit the rails he had and they would fit the Reese hitch I had. $xx.xx I was a little skeptical but he assured me the kit would work. It was a easy installation with the parts they furnished.
Upon installing the kit I found the rails from my Reese hitch would work with the kit, I contracted etrailer and they said they would issue a refund for the rails when I returned them, the refund was issued in a very short time.
etrailer is the first place I talk about when visiting with other trailer owners about parts needed. We owned 3 campgrounds in Minnesota I wish I had know about had known about etrailer at that time.
Very good hitch, I'm pleased with durability and ease of use. I didn't give it 5 stars because of the base locking pins that are slightly smaller than the holes they fit in and make the trailer "clunk" when taking off or stopping.
Always great service at etrailer, thank you.
I have a problem with my stars to rate, I think my phone bugs.
I put you 10/10
