Simple, Secure Hookup

E16 5th Wheel Jaw

With a dual-pivoting head that offers 10 degrees of lateral movement, the E16 fifth-wheel hitch makes hookup a snap, even on unlevel ground. Once the king pin slides into the hitch, the auto-locking, slide-bar jaw secures it in place. A unique feature of the E16 is the rear steel tension bar within the jaw that activates upon hookup to clamp down on the king pin, providing a tighter grip that maximizes security and minimizes rattle.

Poor, and disappointing. Hitch is not even close to tall enough for most any camper. Can’t even get a finger between the bed and camper. Description is not accurate. Be weary. etrailer is also charging me to return for a taller hitch. Looks like I’ll be purchasing somewhere else unless they can make it right somehow.

Thank you for your review. The hitch can be adjusted from 11-12 inches to 13-12 inches which is more low profile than other options. I recommend to take a look at the other Curt hitches that adjust from 13 to 17 inches tall that fit the OEM prep package of your 2021 Ford F-250 Super Duty.

We just recently took our first trip with our new Ford 250 and the Curt E16 5th Wheel Hitch and had a wonderful time. It hooks up easy and was easy to install in the factory installed 5th wheel hookup in the bed of the pickup. I am including a few pictures of the hitch and hookup.



by:

I received excellent professional service and experience
Thank you for your time.

2014 Ford F-350 Super Duty

It's a decent hitch but the height adjustment is not good on a F-350,also it has a lot of play when stopping and starting



by:

The hitch is easy to install and remove. It has functioned with no issues. The only thing I would change would be letting the plate swivel from side to side.



by:

I ordered my Hitch on Saturday and it was delivered on Wednesday. It took about 30 minutes to install. I had watched the informational video prior and found it simple to assemble and install. At this time I still have not hooked to my camper but everything looks great and I can't wait.

Fast shipping, easy to assemble with the Ford pick system. Did break a few pins before realizing to take them out.totalky operator error though.

Still works great a year later no probl ems!

First of all, etrailer was awesome to work with while I tried to determine what hitch I wanted, they get 5 starts. As for the hitch, installation was easy and while I feel the hitch works just fine, I would prefer one with "jaws" that lock. I would feel better if it did. That being said, I ordered this hitch simply because it was the lowest one I could find and after using it on several trip, it gets the job done. It can be locked and it easily opens and closes.



by:

Sturdily built, can handle my towing needs easily.



by:

Arrived in three boxes. The largest looked as though Ace Ventura was the delivery man. However all the parts were inside. Took me two full hours to assemble, install, inspect and adjust. Clearly a formidable hitch for my '19 Silverado HD with PUCK system. Thankfully I have a pulley system in the garage to install/remove the entire hitch in one piece. The weight on this hitch is no joke. If you take the hitch out during non-use a pulley or hoist of some sort is a must. This is replacing a Husky which had a slightly different locking system but the Curt is rock solid and will be a great hitch for years to come. Excellent price, assembly was a challenge but the instructions were very good. One problem: the included (4) rubber shims were too thick preventing me from inserting any of the rail pins between the rail and PUCK adapter. So I didn't use them.



by:

Product arrived as promised. The Curt C16515 was an easy assembly and easier install. I had to remove some bed liner to allow the base plate to allow the base plate to fully engage the OEM gooseneck fittings. I think this is a great product and will fit my needs to haul my 5th wheel.



by:

Great customer service
I ordered online
on Sunday night and hitch was delivered on time Friday afternoon.
It took me 30 min to assemble. No adjustment needed
Only problem was the handle did not slip on. It looks like a large burr was left inside the handle preventing it from sliding all the way on. Extremely frustrating. After drilling and filing on the burr, I gave up and drilled a new hole in the handle so I could put the bolt threw... after etrailer sends me a new handle I’ll change my rating to 5stars



by:

I received my hitch in the 3 days promised, myself and my wife put it together in about an hour. It went in our ram with no adjustments needed. We picked up our new 5th the same day we put the new hitch in our truck, works great and was easy to install, a little heavy but putting it in legs 1st then the hitch head was the way to go as instructed.



by:

Excellent service and help. My hitch came much quicker than expected especially in these times. Every thing worked out, I have a new 2021 Chev 2500hd and wanted to stick with a fixed hitch. Heigth clearance was an issue, but I was able to lower the 5th wheel pin box enough to compensate.



by:

Lightning fast delivery from etrailer.com! The hitch was very easy to install, works perfectly with my Ram factory tow prep package. Thanks etrailer!



by:

Super-solid, my first fifth wheel but this thing is stout. Pretty heavy though...



by:

I use it all the time. Great purchase. I would recommend it to anyone

Very quick and easy to install! Works g reat!

  • Clearance Concerns For Fifth Wheel Trailer With 2015 Ford F-350 With Tow Package
    The height of the sides of the bed on your 2015 Ford F-350 is a critical measurement you will want to know. since you said the height of the bed when the tail gate is down is 41.5 inches, and the height of your fifth wheel trailer king pin is 54.5 inches, that will only give you 13 inches from the bed to the king pin. The weight of the fifth wheel trailer when it is hooked up will cause the back of the truck to drop a bit and the amount will depend on the weight. I spoke with my contact...

  • Raising Trailer to Gain Clearance for Fifth Wheel Hitch
    To gain height and add clearance your best option is to raise your trailer with what is called an over/under conversion kit, which moves your trailer's leaf springs to the top of your axle and lifts your trailer approximately the same amount as your axle's diameter plus the height of the leaf spring pack (please keep in mind this conversion kit is for use with double-eye springs only). If you had a 2-3/8" round axle you would need Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00...

  • How To Use the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Part # C16115 with Ford Factory Pucks
    Hello John. I do have an option for you but the Husky Ford OEM 5th Wheel Adapter 33006 will not work with the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16115 according to Husky. If you already have the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch then you can swap out the base for the Curt OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch Legs for Ford Super Duty Towing Prep Package part # C16017 but otherwise you would just need to use the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ford Towing Prep Package part # C16515-16017.

  • 5th Wheel Hitch Cover for a Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Part # C16515-16017
    They do not make a cover specifically for the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16515-16017 but we do still have options for you. These options include the Classic Accessories Cover part # CA80116 and the Reese Cover part # RP30055. They will both cover the head of your 5th wheel hitch and keep grease in but not the entire hitch. I recommend the Classic Accessories Cover because it will cover more of the hitch and it has hooks which are easier to use as opposed to straps. I have...

    Yes, the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ford Towing Prep Package part # C16515-16017 is a confirmed fit for a 2017 Ford F-250 with a factory prep package. It is also an excellent cost effective option which does not require any adapters so I am sure you will be happy with this.

  • Fitment of Curt E16 Series Head on a Ford Prep System
    Good news! I can help you figure out whether or not you will need the Curt Roller Adapter # C16505 to complete your conversion for the Ford Prep Package. If you purchased the E16 Head # C16515, the unit will already come with the bracket # C16505. If your E16 head is from an old 5th wheel kit and you do not have this bracket then yes, will need it to get the head to mount properly to the legs for the Ford Prep Package. I have linked an image of this adapter bracket on the complete Curt...

  • Which 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches Fit the Reese Underbed Elite System Besides Elite Hitches
    For the Reese Elite Series underbed installation kit # RP30126 you can use the following hitches: Curt 16K hitch # C16515-16017 (slide bar jaw) Curt 16K hitch # C16520-16017 (double jaw) Curt 20K hitch # C16530-16017 Curt 24K hitch # C16545-16017 None of these hitches are sliders. If you have a short bed truck the best option is the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3370.

  • Best Value Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Ford F-350 with OEM Rail Kit
    The lowest priced fifth wheel hitch we offer that fits the OEM rail kit of your 2017 Ford F-350 is the Curt E16 part # C16515-16017. Now as far as value goes the best option is the Curt A16 part # C16520-16017 by far. It's a little more expensive than the E16 but the jaw design is far superior. The ride quality will be much quieter since the king pin will be held tighter and the hitch will be easier to use as well.

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch That Fits in Pucks of 2017 Ford F-350 With 8-Foot Bed
    There are a number of high-quality fifth-wheel hitches that will fit into the puck system of your 2017 Ford F-350 Super Duty. Reese makes two of those, called the Elite Series, which is available in towing capacities of 20,000lbs # RP30921 and 27,000lbs # RP30921. In between those weight ranges is the Demco Hijacker # DM8550033, which has a 21,000 lb capacity.

  • How to Convert Curt E16 Fifth Wheel to Fit Factory Fifth Wheel Rail Kit of 2019 Ford F-350
    We do have a leg kit that will allow you to install your E16 Curt hitch # C16115 into the factory fifth wheel rail kit of your 2019 Ford F-350. The part number you need is the # C16017 and you'd be set.

  • Is Reese Underbed Rail Adapter RP30156 Compatible with Reese 30032 5th Wheel Hitch
    Yes, you can use the Reese Elite Series Underbed Rail Adapter # RP30156 to adapt your Ford Super Duty OEM prep package and allow it to accept your 15K Reese 30032 (discontinued) 5th wheel hitch, since it mounts to standard, above-bed base rails. For a hitch that drops directly into the factory pucks on your 2014 Ford instead, take a look at the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ford Towing Prep Package - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16515-16017.

  • Can the PullRite Super 20K 5th Wheel Hitch Model 0800 Be Used with the Ford Factory Pucks
    I do have an option for you but the PullRite Super 20K 5th Wheel Hitch (Model 0800) used a unique mounting rail system and I am not aware of an adapter that will allow you to use this with the Ford Factory 5th Wheel Prep Package. Therefore, your only option is to obtain a new 5th wheel hitch and for this I have a few choices for you. The first is the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16515-16017 which fits directly into the pucks so no adapter is needed. The other is the Reese 5th...
