Features to know about
Rated to Tow Heavy 5th Wheels with Confidence: 25,000 lbs GTW and 6,250 lbs Vertical Load Limit
This hitch is built to handle serious weight with a 25,000-lb gross towing rating and a 6,250-lb vertical load limit. The sturdy steel build and carbide powder coat finish give it the strength and durability to pull big 5th wheels over long miles without worry. With that much capacity, you can count on a solid connection that stays stable even when the trailer is fully loaded.
Quiet, Secure Connection Every Time: Interlocking 2-Jaw System with 360-Degree Contact
The interlocking two-piece jaw wraps completely around the king pin for 360-degree contact. That design cuts down on rattle and movement compared to slide-bar hitches, giving you a quieter ride and a more secure feel every time you tow. The tight jaw connection also makes hitching smoother since it naturally centers and locks onto the pin without fighting alignment.
See Your Hitch Status at a Glance: Three-Point, Color-Coded Indicator System
You don’t have to guess whether the jaws are locked. The color-coded indicator makes it clear—red means uncoupled, yellow means ready to couple, and green means you’re locked and ready to tow. You can see the indicator from the side or from inside the cab, saving time during hookup and giving you quick confirmation before hitting the road.
Smooth Towing and Easy Hookup: Fully Articulating Torsion Head with Self-Aligning Design
The torsion head pivots to match your trailer’s movement, helping smooth out bumps and reduce noise as you drive. It also self-aligns during hookup so the king pin glides right in using the included plastic lube plate. This setup keeps towing quieter and more controlled while taking the stress out of lining things up on uneven ground.
Make Removal Simple: One-Pin Head Release for Quick Disassembly
When you want your truck bed clear, just pull one pin to lift off the head—no tools needed. That one-pin design makes it possible for one person to remove the hitch piece by piece without heavy lifting equipment. It’s a practical feature if you switch between towing duty and using your bed for other work or hauling tasks.

Video Transcript for What to Know About the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails
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.

Not too hard to install holes lined up. Had to make the hole in the frame toward the front larger. After measuring the rails perfect hole placement to installed the rails. Took about 4 hours total. Very good help from the customer service at etrailer to match up the item and also save me a few dollars.

Ordering from etrailer was a great decision! I got a confirmation email for my order within minutes and an email it had shipped in just a few hours. I was given an expected delivery date and it actually showed up a day early. I’m super impressed with the customer service! I bought a fifth wheel hitch and found an [online] video for my truck and hitch that was extremely helpful, especially since all the RV dealers in the area were two months out to install it. All in all dealing with etrailer has been a great experience and I will definitely be going back for any of my other RV needs!

It is well built. Directions could have better illustrations. Putting handle together was the most difficult part of process. It dropped right into my existing rails. Have not hooked my fifth wheel yet, but very satisfied with the finished product.

I have pulled a 16,000 lbs 5th wheel over 13,000 miles with this hitch and no issues. It arrived with the package damaged and the handle bent. Etrailer quickly replaced the part. The base will rust if not covered. If you remain hooked up for an over night stay, you will need to lower your jacks to stabilize and prevent rocking do to the hitch’s design. Great product.

Took me a month, but I finally got the Curt A25 fifth wheel hitch in my truck and took it for nearly 150 mile trip to see how it would work. My wife and I both were amazed at how quiet and the bouncing, snapping, popping and cussing were all gone. This hitch is absolutely amazing. Before, when I just pulled out of my driveway, the old fifth wheel would snap and pop loudly several times. It was so quiet with the Curt A25 (new one), both of us looked at each other and looked back to see if the trailer was moving with us. (It was) Thank you to Curt for building it so well and to all of the people at etrailer that recommended it and ensuring it was all right.

My 5th wheel package was robbed during shipping.
When I received it, the box had obviously been opened and then taped shut.
When I opened it, the base of the 5th wheel hitch was gone!
I called etrailer's customer support and they were amazing.
I sent pictures of the package I took before and after I opened the package.
The customer support rep said that was all I needed to do.
And they shipped a new base two days later.
I just received the base of the hitch.
I am extremely happy that etrailer's customer support was so responsive when I had a serious problem!
Thank you etrailer customer support!

The only thing I wish I got was a sliding hitch as it would have been a bit easier to hitch as a perfectly straight hitch I have only a inch to spare before my tailgate hits the bulkhead. So being that I have to close the tailgate before I am totally hitched into the kingpin

Had a Pullrite Superglide in my old F350 standard bed but when I upgraded to the 8ft bed of the dually, I went with this hitch. Hitch came in 2 boxes and although the boxes worked banged up a bit, everything was there and fine. It only took about 30 minutes to bolt everything together and install on the rails that were already in the truck. I actually had to take the hitch apart once to adjust the hitch up a little. I wanted it as high as possible in the bed, while still clearing the Roll N Lock retractable bed cover. Looks good, seems solid and well made. Hitch head comes off to make it easier to remove this hitch, but even with the head connected, I am able to move the hitch in the truck (would need to take head off for me to lift the hitch out of the truck). Also installed a BedRug at the same time to clean up the bed.

Purchased the Curt 25 A. 25,000 lb capacity with articulating head. I pull an 18,000 lb 5th wheel camper with a 3500 diesel dually. There is lots of movement when braking and start of pull after a full and normal stop. I would not buy the articulating model again. The product seems to be well built just too much front to rear movement in the head.

Everything was exactly as described. The only thing that could have been different and better with the product in my application was the single front tab on the side plates could have been double, just like the rear of the plates. Simple, easy installation. Did have to drill the front side plate mounting holes in the truck frame, no factory existing holes present, but no problem. The right side front hole is directly behind the shock tower. Over-all a great product.

view full answer... - Recommended Custom Bracket Kit, Base Rails and 5th Wheel Hitch for 2007 Ford F-250I do have a solution for you, but we do strongly advise not mixing brackets and rails from 2 different manufacturers. The reason for this is that they haven't been tested together, so compatibility and fit cannot be guaranteed and the capacity of the setup will be unknown. With that said I recommend using the Curt # C16448-204 base rail and bracket kit which will provide you with a set of industry standard base rails to mount a 5th wheel hitch in. These are a custom bracket kit so it'll...

Unfortunately these rails aren't made anymore and I can't recommend cutting and re-welding the tabs on your 5th wheel hitch to align with industry standard rails as that introduces an unknown variable in the weight capacity.

The slider hitches that offer the most travel are the Demco HiJacker auto-sliders, # DM8550022 for below the bed rail kit # DM8551000, or # DM8550034 for above the bed rail kit # DM8552002-71.

The reason for this is that the more you raise the nose, the more unlevel your trailer will be which will then cause sway issues.

The custom fit rail kit uses mounting holes in the frame with custom brackets to connect the above bed rails. While the universal kit requires you to drill holes into the frame below the mounting holes to secure to the frame. You will need to check your frame to see which mounts were used or if they may still be in place....
view full answer... - Footprint of the Curt A25 5th Wheel HitchHey David, the Curt A25 # C16180 will work with your 8' bed and is not a sliding hitch. You don't need a sliding hitch with an 8' bed since the bed is long enough. This hitch will just drop into any standard set of 5th wheel rails, and will be ready to roll. What kind of dimensions do you need? I can tell you this hitch has a 22" x 29" footprint, but if you're looking for something else, let me know! With your trailer being 18k, I'd get either a 20 or 25k so this hitch is perfectly fine...

view full answer... - Curt Fifth Wheel Rail Kit and Hitch Recommendation for 2020 GMC 3500 without OEM Rail KitThe correct Curt rail kit you need for your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 long bed without the OEM rail kit is the part # C16429-204 so that you can install a Curt hitch like the very well designed A20 part # C16140 which has more capacity than you'd need and has the best jaw design Curt has come up with which gives you a quiet and very secure ride quality. These two part numbers would be all that you'd need.
view full answer... - Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a 20219 Ford F-350Hey Eric, easily the B&W Companion # BWRVK3305 is going to be the best 5th wheel hitch you can get. These hitches are made in the USA, have a 25,000 lb capacity, and will drop right into the OEM pucks on your Ford. If you have regular ISR rails you can use # BWRVK3200 which has only a 16K capacity but its still made by B&W, or you can use the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16180 which has the 25K capacity you're looking for, but it isn't made by B&W.

You’ve got a couple of ways to install the Curt A25 5th Wheel Hitch # C16180 in your 2024 Ram 2500 with the factory OEM Prep Package.

view full answer... - Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch and Base Rails for a 1998 Ford F-150 Hey Dan, so for your 1998 Ford F-150 you can use the install kit # C16437-204 on both the 6' and 8' beds. For a hitch though, you are going to need to use a sliding hitch like the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R24 Slider # C16566, but if you have a long bed you can use a fixed hitch like # C16180.
view full answer... - Recommended 5th Wheel and Rails for a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 DuallyHenry, it sounds like you're looking for something like the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16180 with the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC # C16418-204. This hitch has a 25k capacity, is made by Curt, and will work great with your toy hauler. Ideally I'd say you do no drilling to install the rails but for what you're looking for the best we can do is the semi-custom install kit which will require less drilling than a universal hitch but still some drilling....
view full answer... - How to Select Hitch Height Setting for Curt A25 Fifth Wheel HitchHey Mark, it really comes down to what's going to allow your trailer to sit level with at least 4-6 inches of bed rail to trailer overhang clearance. Since the A20 and the A25 are very similar I would assume you'd want to use the same set of mounting holes on the A25 as the old hitch as long as the trailer was being towed level. But you should verify after that point if your trailer is able to be towed level.
view full answer... - What is Needed to Turn Curt A25 Fixed Hitch Into Sliding HitchHey Mike, The setup you have uses the standard Curt A25 # C16180 fixed hitch, and you'll actually need a different part, as Curt has updated the sliders on their hitches to be higher quality. So to turn your A25 fixed hitch into a slider hitch, all you need is the following: - Curt S25 Slider for A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # C43DR

To use the Curt A25 5th Wheel Hitch item # C16180 on a 2021 Ram 3500 cab and chassis, you're going to need to install the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails with Installation Kit item # C16200.

view full answer... - What Are The Differences Between The Curt Q24, Q25, And A25 5th Wheel Trailer HitchesThe three 5th wheel hitches that you are inquiring about are the Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 24,000 lbs, part # C16245 Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs, part # C16265 Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs, part # C16180 The only differences between the Q24 and Q25 is the Q24 is the weight limit.

view full answer... - Comparing Goose Box to 5th Wheel Pin Box and Hitch Regarding Articulation and CapacityThe Reese Goose Box # RP94720 has an integrated air back and shock system that will help on rough terrain. It works very much the same as some pin boxes like the Trailair Flex Air- 21,000 lbs # RP85FR. The issue you will find is that your trailer weight given is greater than the pin boxes we carry. The Goose Box is only rated for 20K and our pin boxes max at 21K. For the capacity you are seeking, I recommend the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch- 25,000 lbs # C16180 which has a fully...
view full answer... - Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2020 Ford F-250 with and without Factory Puck SystemI can absolutely make a 5th wheel hitch recommendation for your potential 2020 Ford F-250, whether you get it with the factory puck system in the bed or not. Starting with my recommendation for the factory puck setup, I really like the Curt A25 5th Wheel Hitch # C16036. This will drop right down into those pucks and it features an interlocking 2-jaw system that will completely wrap around the trailer's king pin. What this does is not only provide an extremely secure connection with the...
view full answer... - Can You Add 5th Wheel Pucks To a 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500I do have an option for you but if they were not installed from the factory, there is no way to add pucks to a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. Therefore, if you want to install a fifth wheel hitch you will need to install a set of above bed base rails like the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit part # C16429-204. I have attached an install video I did on this kit if you'd like to give it a watch. These rails will work with pretty much any hitch so long as said hitch is designed to...

view full answer... - Fitting A New 5th Wheel Hitch On A Truck With Older Style RailsI do have a solution that will allow you to keep the Demco Hijacker Premier Series Mounting Brackets # DM8552027 that are already installed on your vehicle. You will have to change your existing older style rails for universal rails that will fit newer style hitches. The Universal Above-Bed Base Rails for Demco # DM6071 will work great, as this will bolt up to your current brackets. For the 5th wheel hitch itself, I recommend either the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16120 or the...
view full answer... - Recommended Curt 5th Wheel Hitch For 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500 For 20,000 lb TrailerSince your Alliance trailer has a 20,000 lb GVWR, you'll need a hitch with a capacity that exceeds that, and the best option from Curt is the A-Series. You didn't mention if your 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500 had the OEM puck system, or if you already have bed rails installed, or if it was a short bed or long bed, so I'll list out every potential option: - Short Bed WITHOUT OEM Puck System: Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16429-204 & Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S25 Slider...

If you take a look at the diagram I've added you can see where you would need to install the Curt Brackets and Base Rails # C16448-204 on your 2008 Ford F-250 or F-350 and where the center line of the hitch is in relation to the brackets.
view full answer... - Is The Curt Q25 Fifth Wheel Hitch Compatible With Rota Flex Pin Boxes The whole Curt Q-Series line like the Curt Q25 # C16265 you referenced is not compatible with the Rota Flex pin box line like the # LC328330, nor are they compatible with rotating pin boxes. The pivoting system of the pin box works against the pivoting system of the hitch head and can cause the components of the head to deteriorate, ultimately leading to the hitch head failing. The only option is to either replace the pin box with one of the same bolt pattern or to replace the hitch....
