Features to know about
Built for Heavy Towing Confidence: 25,000 lbs GTW and 6,250 lbs Vertical Load Limit
This hitch is made for serious pulling power with a 25,000-lb gross towing weight rating and 6,250-lb vertical load limit. The sturdy steel construction and durable carbide powder coat finish give it the backbone for long hauls and rough roads. Whether you’re towing fully loaded or just heading cross-country, the solid build keeps the connection tight and dependable mile after mile.
Stay Quiet and Secure on the Road: Interlocking Dual-Jaw System with 360-Degree Contact
The interlocking 2-jaw setup wraps entirely around the king pin for full 360-degree contact. That tight grip cuts down on rattle and movement, giving you a quieter, more secure tow compared to slide-bar designs. The fully articulating torsion head smooths out bumps and suppresses road shock, so every trip feels steadier and less stressful on both truck and trailer.
Easily Check Your Coupling Status: Three-Point Color-Coded Lock Indicator
No more guessing when you’re coupled or ready to tow. The color-coded indicator tells you at a glance—red for uncoupled, yellow for ready to couple, green for towing. It’s visible right from the cab, so you can make quick checks without climbing into the bed. The handle locks with a padlock (sold separately) to secure your trailer and automatically resets to the ready position after you uncouple.
Tight Turns Made Simple: S25 Non-Binding Slider with 12" Travel
For slow-speed turns where space gets tight, the S25 slider gives you 12" of front-to-back travel to create the extra clearance you need. It slides smoothly without binding and automatically latches in both directions, so you only have to exit the cab once to move it. This makes maneuvering in tight spots much easier while protecting your cab from contact during sharp turns.
Quick Removal When You Need Your Bed Back: One-Pin Head Release with Lube Plate Included
When it’s time to clear your truck bed, the fast one-pin head removal makes it simple for one person to lift off the hitch head without special tools. Two built-in zerk fittings make lubrication easy, and the included plastic lube plate helps the king pin glide smoothly into place during hookup. It’s a practical setup that’s strong when you need it and easy to handle when you don’t.

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.

Order arrived very quickly. Package and contents in great shape. Have not installed as of yet because still waiting on the ORDERED NEW Truck. Have test fitted to another like vehicle and see no problems. Have also test fitted my older Reese 14K 5th wheel hitch to the Curt rails, again no problems. Appear identical except for 3 additional holes in each base rail as compared to the original Reese rails. Have ordered from etrailer.com before and always satisfied with there products, service, quality, timeliness, and more.

Installed in 2013 F-150 61/2 ft bed. Everything fit as it should. Directions were pretty straight forward. Have a long handled 3/4 open or box end wrench on hand. No room for ratchet . Lightly tape front nuts and spacers together and slide under bolt and start threads from above. They are carriage bolts but long enough to start threads. You'll see what I mean. All parts included, frame brackets fit perfectly. Very satisfied with Curt c16441-204 fifth wheel installation kit and etrailer. I've dealt with etrailer before and never had a problem.

Ellen was very good assisting me with my first purchase from etrailer.
We discussed options about 5th wheels vs gooseneck with adapter.
The recommendation was a fifth wheel, then she suggested the curt with 360 swivel and cushioned. I have been greatly pleased with this setup.
My wife and I completed the installion in 3 1/2 hrs.
I'll be doing more business with etrailer.
Thanks James
Note: have pulled 6000 lb camper about 3 trips, handles great

Had products within 5 days and this including Saturday and Sunday. The mounting brackets match up to truck perfectly. only needed to remove the spare tire. did right on the floor of my garage. It was a two person operation getting bolts. total worth spending extra to avoid drilling in to the frame. 3 to 4 hours to complete project. that includes installing the hitch and clean up.

Unfortunately it was missing a bunch of nuts, bolts and square hole washers. Called and they have been sent. I've improvised in the meantime to complete the install. Not so easy to install. Had to put the front carriage bolts upside down as I couldn't fit my hand between the frame and the bed to start the nut.

The product was very well built. It was a fairly easy install on my F-150, the only real problem was installing the front bolt of the rail it is in a tight area. Price was exceptional compared to local RV store, I like buying local but $100 dollars in savings had to buy at etrailer. Sales staff excellent and price awesome!

The rails don't actually have to be from PullRite so you can use the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ford F150 # C16441-204. This comes with ISR rails and then the hardware and custom mounting brackets you need for installation. If you don't already have wiring in your truck bed you'll want the Mighty Cord 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Wiring Harness # A10-7007 as well.

First, if you have an 8 foot bed, I recommend custom installation kit # C16441-204. Custom installation kits are preferred because most, including this one, do not require drilling into the truck frame for installation. For a hitch, I recommend going with a 16K hitch, # C16120. This hitch features a 360 degree cushioned head for a better ride. If your truck has a 6-1/2 foot bed you can...

Due to that your best option to pull a fifth wheel with this truck is a new fifth wheel hitch along with an installation kit and base rails that are compatible. The fifth wheel hitch I recommend for your 2009 Ford F-150 long bed is the Curt A16 # C16120...

To install a Curt fifth wheel hitch similar to what you referenced you'd want the slider hitch part # 16516 and the rail kit part # C16441-204 and you'd be set.

It is possible like you said that it was twisted or bend somehow. You can also check that the rails are lined up properly by measuring from the center of the outside mounting slot diagonally to the center of the opposite slot on the other rail. Then repeat with the other side outside slot. The measurements should be the same. If not then the rails are not square. Take a look at the picture to see what I mean. I...

For a sliding hitch to use with these rails that allows turning clearance you would want the part # DM8550034 which will automatically slide back as your vehicle makes tight turns to give you clearance.

Because of this we typically recommend a sliding hitch to prevent this from happening. For a sliding version of the Q25 you would need parts # C35DR and # C16022. Newer model trailers...
