Features to know about
Built for Secure, Confident Towing: 16,000 lbs GTW and 4,000 lbs Vertical Load Limit
The Curt E16 5th Wheel Hitch w/ S20 Slider is rated for 16,000 lbs gross towing weight and 4,000 lbs vertical load limit, giving you solid strength for towing heavy fifth-wheel trailers. The sturdy steel construction with a carbide black finish gives it the kind of toughness you can count on trip after trip. It’s the kind of hitch that feels solid when you back in and pull out—no looseness or flex that can make towing stressful.
Keep Turns Smooth and Safe: Non-Binding S20 Slider with 12" of Travel
When space gets tight during slow-speed turns, the non-binding S20 slider gives you up to 12" of fore/aft travel to create the clearance you need. Sliding the hitch toward the tailgate helps prevent contact between your trailer and the cab. It’s a simple design that moves smoothly and locks securely both ways, letting you maneuver in tight spots without the usual wrestling or worry.
No-Hassle Hookups on Any Surface: Dual-Pivoting Head and Auto-Locking Slide-Bar Jaw
The E16’s dual-pivoting head gives you 10 degrees of lateral movement so hookup feels natural even if the ground isn’t level. Once the king pin slides in, the auto-locking slide-bar jaw secures it automatically. A rear steel tension bar clamps tight around the king pin for a firm hold that minimizes rattle and movement. You can see and feel when it’s locked down, which makes every coupling straightforward and stress-free.
Set Up and Adjust Easily for Your Trailer: Four Height Positions for Level Towing
With 4-position height adjustment from 14" to 17", this hitch lets you fine-tune your setup so your trailer rides level and clear of the bed rails. The included base rails and installation kit make getting it mounted simple and secure. Once set up, it stays steady mile after mile while still being easy to unbolt when you want your truck bed cleared off.

Video Transcript for All You Need to Know About the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit for Chevy/GMC
Hello everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit for your Chevrolet and GMC trucks. Now this is a custom-fit part. It is designed to fit the 2011 to 2019 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 trucks with either the six and a half foot bed or the eight foot bed and without the OEM prep package. Now on a custom-fit part like this, I do recommend for you to go to our website, use the Fit Guide, put in your year, model, vehicle.
It'll show if this will work for your application. Now these brackets here are designed to mount beneath your truck bed, and they provide the attachment points for your fifth-wheel rails to attach to. Now those base rails we do sell separate on our website. Does require the base rails, part number C16104, C16204, or C16205. Those rails will bolt to these mounting brackets.
Now these brackets here will provide a custom fit. They mount to existing holes that are in your vehicle's frame. You can see the holes right here in the sides. These holes will eliminate the need for drilling. Cuts the installation time in half when compared with universal bracket kits.
Now it does include all the necessary hardware to install this. Comes with a nice set of instructions that'll describe how it all goes together. And these parts have a nice black powder coat finish on to resist corrosion. And these brackets are designed to work with the industry-standard rails that are compatible with B&W, Curt, Draw-Tite, Reese, and Husky above-bed fifth-wheel trailer hitches. But that should do it for the review on the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit for the Chevrolet and GMC trucks.

I feel that the installation video simplifies the process to much. Attaching the frame plates with the bolt fish wire was more difficult than the video showed. I am to blame for the first bolt. We started on the left side and fished the back bolt first. I did not check to see if the wire would go through both plate and bolt once threaded onto the bolt. I just placed the plate on the wire and then threaded the bolt onto the wire and pulled or tried to pull it through the frame hole. The wire was "bunched" on part of the bolt and would not feed through the frame and the plate holes. I stretched the wire to the point I thought I was going to lose the bolt in the frame. We ended up getting the bolt back out and using the other fish wire to feed this bolt through. We made sure we could fit both the plate and bolt through together before fishing it through the frame. Once we did one the other three went a lot easier but we only had one fish wire to use.
I had watched the installation video several times and played it while we were working. The video is good but it makes the process seem to easy.
I would like to see the video have more details about this process and have 4 fish wire instead of 2 or tell people you may want to have two more on hand for piece of mind.

Last summer I made purchase of the A16 sliding 5th wheel hitch along with rails.the install took about six hours working by myself .following the enclosed instructions is important and saves time if you do it exactly as shown.I was very pleased with the delivery,it was prompt and no charge.that was great.the hitch is a slider which I think is important on a shortbed,could save damage to truck during maneuvers.my experience with etrailer has been really good and would recommend this company to anybody shopping for trailering equipment

Excellent product, perfect fit for my vehicle, arrived a couple days before it was supposed to. I did not want an "aftermarket" look, which is why I ordered a kit designed specifically for my vehicle. I did take the time to remove the heat shield to gain better access to the installation bolts. The biggest challenge was installing and tightening the bolts that go through the bed; there is not a lot of room between the trucks frame and the bed of the truck. The most challenging bolts were the ones on the driver side closest to the cab of the truck due to the placement of the gas tank. Trailer wiring was plug-and-play, hardest part was drilling the 2" hole in the side of my truck bed.

This is the second one of these that I ordered from e trailer. The first one I got at the same time as the fifth wheel hitch. I install on my 2015 Silverado 2500HD. I traded that Silverado for a 2018 Silverado 3500 Z71. Kept the hitch had to leave the rails. Great product and not bad to install. Took about 2 hours. If I trade again, I will get third.

Whew! Installing that Rail kit about kicked my butt! The reason why is all the trips I made from underneath the truck and back. The Rail kit is a very high Quality Product from Curt that fits perfectly in the bed of my truck. The hardware is also high quality. One downside is there isn't a lot of room to work as the gas tank on one side and the exhaust on the other side prevents easy access (gas tank in particular). It was very hard to get a wrench on the nuts unless you used a Gearwrench. After the install they are torqued to 110 ft-lb. The only way to do that was to put a 1 inch adapter on the torque wrench then put that in the open end of the gearwrench in the adapter. Then using a formula on line, convert that to what you have to ft-lb. Anyway It was worth it because I know I have a good product that will stand the test of time.

Box was delivered with a little damage and the contents of the hardware bag was loose in the box. After going through the parts list and realizing I was missing 1 block, we contacted etrailer and they shipped the replacement part immediately, we got it within 3 or 4 days. Install was a breeze after watching the video and fishing the bolts and blocks in the frame. Only took a couple hours total.

Just installed my curt 5th wheel kit,all materials are heavy duty and comes with all hardware needed. Installation is straightforward for the average DIY . The only challenge in the installation of the kit is getting the right tool to torque the rail bolts. My truck is a 2013 chevy Silverado 2500HD. I would recommend this kit.

If you do this yourself, definitely remove the wheel well liners and remove 3 of the 4 bolts holding the heat shield with one loosened to move it out of the way. Top front four nuts are the hardest to get started from under the truck. Start to finish 3 hours. Saved myself $500 for install

I had originally ordered a 11604/11607 under bed gooseneck mount for my 2019 Silverado 2500HD, but found out during initial parts fitting that an under bed rib had been welded out of position on my truck, and the side rail brackets would not fit because of it. A phone call to Curt verified my finding and they suggested going to an in bed rail mount as an alternative. I called etrailer and spoke with Bailey B about my situation and she was very quick to understand what I needed to do. She helped me place an order for a 16411/16204 in bed rail mount kit. She then emailed me instructions and UPS shipping labels so I could return the parts I could not use. I received my new kit yesterday (one day early!!) and a quick look tells me I now have what I need. Bailey B was super helpful, and the exchange process was above and beyond my expectations. Count on me for future purchases. I had hand surgery a few days ago so it will be a while before I can install this hitch rail kit. If I can edit this review then, I'll add pictures. In the meantime, I'm going to have a spray in bed liner done and I'll be ready to go. Thanks again Bailey and etrailer!

Fantastic! I was able to install the entire kit by myself as soon as my hand allowed me to. Everything went together as it was supposed to. Ive only been able to tow my 5er a few times, but getting hitched up and unhitched is a breeze, even when the truck isnt straight on to the trailer. The hitch is totally silent, with no chucking at all. I was able to set it up so I had good cab clearance that I dont need to use the Turning Point feature on my pin box. I highly recommend this hitch.

I received the 2500HD custom fit rail kit and A16 slider hitch very quickly which was great because we were on a time crunch to pick up our new camper. I selected this hitch and rail combination after reading all of the positive reviews. A buddy and I installed it ourselves in a few hours and could not be more happy with the fitment. We used the installation video below the product description which really helped. Etrailer was great to work with and I would definitely order from them again. We will be picking up our fifth wheel this weekend and will comment on how well it performs!

Great product.. better than my previous install on a 2006 Silverado w/separate brackets for each bolt for the Rails.
This went in like a dream.. however, with that said... watching the video from etrailer on YT showing how to install this was extremely helpful... the "real life" install is no where near as easy as they show.
The fuel tank and the bottom of the bed allow for about 5" of room to get you hand, arm and the bolts installed on the bottom of the bolts that come down from the rails. Very difficult. The passenger side also has the exhaust and a shield to contend with. Removal of the shield is a must, however the tight area between the frame rail and the underside of the bed... again, only allows for minimal accessability for the bolts.
The only bolts that were able to be torqued were the bolts on the outside of the frame rails, otherwise all other bolts were only able to be torqued to grunt specs.
Took about 3hrs, however it is way easier drilling only the 8 holes through the bed floor than into the frame...
I would suggest re-tapping the threaded studs that are on the frame. I installed this on a 3 yrs old 2017, and I had a tap to do this. W/O the tap I think the bolts would not have gone in so easy AND they most likely would have been damaged from the rust and stuff laying in the holes.

Just a year now, and this hitch is still performing great. I really like the colored indicator in the front. I thought this would be a joke at first, but hey.. it really works. I find myself looking at the connection dot right before I put the truck in drive. If anything, its another way to double check Im hooked up correctly. Really like this 5th wheel hitch

My curt custom rail kit fit perfectly on my 2016 sierra 2500. I did have a hard time starting the nuts on the rail bolts due to the fact that they are positioned between the frame and the box. You can forget about getting a standard socket wrench on the bolts. The rails and brackets are heavy duty , overall a great product .

Price was fair, free shipping. Item arrived very quickley and in good condition. My advice to the buyer is, leave the installation to a professional. Their estimate for a do-it-yourselfer of 80 minutes is way off base. Although I was taking my time as to not drill a hole in the wrong place, I still spent the better part of 5 hours getting this installed as there is minimal space at best to gain access to the fasteners.

- Best Way to Install a Gooseneck Hitch in a Truck w/ 5th Wheel Rails Hey Rebecca. So long as you have a set of 5th wheel rails like item # C16411-204 installed in the bed of your new 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, all you'll need is the Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails item # 16055. This will attach directly to those rails like your Reese 16K 5th wheel hitch. I have attached a picture below so you can see how the gooseneck plate looks when it gets setup. It has 3" of offset built into it for better turning clearance. You'll want...

Technically, the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails with Installation Kit # C16200 will work with your 2012 Chevy Silverado, but being a universal kit, the installation is going to be a lot more involved than it needs to be. Instead, I recommend going with a custom-fit installation kit. If you have a Silverado 1500, you will want the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16400-204. If you have a...

The standard rails attach at the same locations as the gooseneck hitch brackets so individual options are not compatible. My recommendation is to use the Reese Elite Series Under-Bed Gooseneck Complete Hitch # RP30158-68 which will give you the underbed gooseneck hitch and the underbed rails with the pucks for a clean bed when not in use. Then you can use your current...

There is a bit to unpack here, but to start things off, I'm not seeing that a 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 would have had an OEM gooseneck receiver without the rest of the pucks, so I believe you have an aftermarket system. A single point attachment can't be used with an auto-sliding hitch like the Demco # DM8550034 because that feature will put too much torque on the single point and cause issues. The only way to use the Demco is if you install standard base...

The only downside to it is there is more moving parts with slider hitches, which means there's going to be more noise when you're towing.

Since it looks like you have a 2011 GMC Sierra, you'd actually need to install the base rails # C16411-204 first, and then you'd be able to use the Curt A16 # C16120. If you have anything else...

We have what you are looking for with the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails - Carbide Black Finish # C16204. These are just the above bed rails though, so if you need the brackets as well, we have the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC - Carbide Finish # C16411-204. I should also note that Curt rails will only fit Curt brackets, so if you do have brackets and aren't sure what they are, definitely get the full kit. This does go for all manufacturers as...
view full answer... - Can Curt Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Work with Pullrite Superglide Fifth Wheel HitchIf the Pullrite Superglide is an ISR style fifth wheel hitch which is designed for the rails that the Curt kit part # C16411-204 provides this will work. But there are two types of rails Pullrite designs their hitches for with one of them being for standard rails like what the Curt provides and the other only fits their rail designs. The easy way to know is if the name of the hitch from Pullrite has "ISR" at the end of the name. Or you can get me the number of the hitch and I can verify.

You can see these measurements in the diagram I grabbed from page 2 of the installation instructions. You can see the instructions by clicking the provided link. If you don't already have a 7-way trailer connector installed in the truck bed, you can install one using part # 41157. I've linked you to install...

- 2015 GMC Sierra 2500 5th Wheel Bracket Kit RecommendationHey Ritchie! It looks like the OEM puck systems started with the 2016 model year for the GM trucks so you'll need to reach out to a GM shop/dealer to see if they have OEM brackets available and if those will actually fit your 2015 GMC Sierra 2500. If you aren't able to get the brackets then I recommend installing the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16411-204 which gives you industry standard base rails. These are different from the puck system but if you let me know what 5th...

Plastic bed liners do not provide a stable surface which is why they have to be trimmed. All you will do is follow the instructions, linked for reference, to place the rails. Then trace around the rails, and then you can trim it with a rotary tool or similar. I recommend taking the liner out of the...

You will start by measuring the distance from the farthest back part of the bed, not including the tailgate, to the specific measurement for your truck and bed length to center the rear rail in your truck box (this will be in the installation instructions).

Manual or automatic slider would not be needed. With fifth wheel hitch you actually don't really need them to sit higher than the bed rails of the truck. It's actually the opposite in nearly every situation that the hitch sits below the top of the bed rails. The pin box of the truck extends down far enough to compensate for that. The Reese fifth wheel hitch part # RP30047 is a similar...

- Recommended 5th Wheel Rails and Brackets for a 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500Hey Michael. To install a set of 5th wheel rails in your 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500, I recommend the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails item # BWRVK2504. The rails are compatible with Curt E16 5th wheel hitches like item # C16115 and item # C95DR. The 5th wheel rails that come with the B&W item # BWRVK2504 are going to mount horizontally across your Silverado's bed between the wheel wells.

It looks like the Reese Square Tube Slider for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30048 will only adjust down to 15" so it's going to be a tick out of reach. It looks like to get what you're after you're going to need to swap your hitch out with something like the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider # C95DR which has an adjustment range of 14" to 17" so you'd be right where you need to be height wise.

Do they look like the picture below and match those measurements? If so, you can use the Curt E16 # C95DR. However, I recommend getting the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3270 instead. Not only will this save you a little money, the ride quality and quality of the hitch will be significantly better.

While Ram does not offer a puck system for your 2020 Ram 1500 Jim, I can help you get everything you need to be able to pull your 5th wheel. First you will need a Rail Kit # C16307-204 for a place to attach the 5TH Wheel Hitch # C95DR. And I would also recommend installing a 7-Way # 41157 in your bed to not damage the wiring from extending over your tailgate.

Your 2022 Ram Bighorn is available in all three sizes, 1500, 2500, and 3,500. I am not sure if you have the 5th wheel Load & Towing Groups package or if you have the Ram 1500, so I will recommend two 5th wheel hitches. One that will be compatible with a 5th wheel tow package and one that will not be compatible with that setup.

- Base Rails and Installation Kit Recommendation for 2017 Ford F-250 Super DutyYou can easily mount a fifth wheel hitch in your 2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty and to do that I strongly recommend the B&W Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit for Ford # BWRVK2402 because they do not require any drilling into your truck's frame to install and include galvanic isolators that are going to prevent corrosion in your Ford's aluminum bed. Not having to drill into your truck's frame is not only good for your truck but also reduces the amount of time it takes to install the rails....

The standard 5th wheel base rails are 22 inches by 20-1/2 inches where the majority of hitches fit and in some cases are 22 by 29 inches. The 26 inches makes me think you may have a different style or are measuring in a different location as there aren't hitches I'm aware of with a 26 inch base.

- Towing Capacity and Recommended Hitch to Tow a 5th Wheel Trailer with a 2014 Toyota TundraThe towing capacity of your 2014 Tundra is determined by Toyota, not either dealership.

However, I'd recommend the Curt A16 hitch, part # C16521 over what Reese offers.
