Features to know about

Built to Tow Serious Weight: 25,000 lbs GTW and 6,250 lbs Vertical Load Limit

The Curt A25 with S25 Slider is built from sturdy steel and rated for 25,000 lbs gross towing weight and 6,250 lbs vertical load. It’s designed for heavy-duty fifth wheel towing with the kind of solid feel that inspires confidence mile after mile. The carbide powder coat finish stands up to years of use, and the included rails and mounting kit give you everything needed for a secure install.

Quiet, Secure Connection on Every Trip: Interlocking Dual Jaw with 360-Degree Contact

Instead of a slide-bar latch, this hitch uses an interlocking 2-jaw system that fully wraps your trailer’s king pin for 360-degree contact. That tight hold eliminates the rattle and movement common with simpler designs, making the ride smoother and quieter. The jaws also make coupling easier—you’ll feel it seat firmly so you know the connection is locked in solid before heading out.

Stay in Control at a Glance: Three-Point Color Indicator System

You don’t have to guess if it’s coupled right. The color-coded indicator tells you exactly what’s happening—red for uncoupled, yellow for ready to couple, and green when it’s locked for towing. The indicator is visible from the cab or at the hitch, giving instant peace of mind when hitching up or pulling away.

Turn Tight Without Worry: Non-Binding S25 Slider with 12" Travel

For slow turns in tight spots, the S25 slider moves the hitch up to 12" front to back so the trailer clears your cab during sharp maneuvers. It automatically latches in both directions and slides smoothly without binding, letting you focus on driving instead of hopping out to adjust anything mid-turn.

Quick to Remove and Service: One-Pin Head Removal with Built-In Lube Points

When it’s time to clear the bed or perform maintenance, the hitch head lifts off easily with a single pin. Two built-in zerk fittings make lubrication simple, and the included plastic lube plate keeps hookup smooth every time. It’s built for convenience without sacrificing strength or security—exactly what you want when towing big fifth wheels.

Video Transcript for In-Depth Review of the Curt Custom, No-Drill Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit for Dodge Ram

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the CURT Custom Fit fifth wheel bracket kit for the Dodge Trucks. Now this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 2006 to 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 extended crew cab trucks. Also the 2003 to 2012 Dodge Ram and Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. Now on a custom fit part like this, I do like to recommend to go to our website, use the fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle, and it'll show you if this will work for your application.

Now these brackets right here, these are designed to mount beneath your truck bed, and they provide the attachment points for your fifth wheel base rails to attach to. It does require the CURT base rails, works with the part number C16104, C16204, or the C16205. We carry all three of those. Difference between those three is just the finish on them. Now these do provide a custom fit by mounting to existing holes that are in your vehicle's frame.

You can see the holes already drilled in these mounting brackets. These will line up with the holes on your vehicle, so it minimizes the amount of drilling that's required. So it cuts the insulation time in half when compared with just the universal bracket kits that are out there. It will include everything shown here on the table, includes all four of the mounting brackets, all the necessary hardware for installation, and even a nice set of detailed instructions that'll describe how it all goes together. Now these parts have a nice black powder coat finish on them to resist corrosion, and they are designed to work with 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 Fit fifth wheel bracket kit for your Dodge Trucks.

I still have no complaints I have pulled my 35ft fifth wheel camper multiple times already and it did great. I have since recommended etrailer site to everybody I know that needs hitches. Thank you again for making it so easy to order and install!

This is a well put together package. The fact that you do not have to drill the frame makes things much easier. That said, it is still a lot of work and if you do not have all the tools needed and a lift you will be at this install for quiet some time.

The spare tire has to be removed and if there is a spare tire shield it will have to go as well. The inner fenders need to come out and at that point you will find it is easier if the tires and wheels are out of the way. It is a bit of work to get the right rear bracket in with the tail pipe in place. Also the spacers that go into the frame are also hard to get in place. Lastly, you will still have to drill holes in the bed.

With all this work required, I am very glad that I did not have to drill the frame also.

2012 ram 3500 mega cab short bed! Well from all the reviews I’ve read, and the video, I gathered about 5-6 hours to install by myself, which was very accurate, directions say 90 min instal, not! It was the 5-6 hour range, regardless it went in as the directions and video said! Take your time measure it out double check everything, the kit is great, follow directions and watch the video you can do it in your driveway!

Installed on a 2012 Ram 3500 long box. The rail kit itself is excellent and appears to be very strong. I was able to install with the truck on the ground and the tires on. I did have to remove the inner fender liners to access some of the bolts for torquing. I do not see how the nuts can be brought to proper torque without the use of a 3/4 inch crowsfoot, as it is impossible to get a socket on some of the nuts. The shock mount welded to the frame on one side is an example...it prevents the use of a socket. The single most important step is measuring properly because there is very little margin for error. The etrailer.com video was very helpful. Took me about 6 hrs without jack stands or a lift, but I'm very happy with the finished product and they went on without interfering with my AIR LIFT 57295 LoadLifter 5000 Series Rear Air Spring Kit.

So far excellent!!!

easy install. The installation instructions could have been better. I suggest watching the video on youtube and setting up the rails and hitch on the garage floor first. Take measurements between rail hole rows (row 2 to row 3 - 17 3/4") and add 3/4" for front bed support clearance - 18 1/2". Looking over a rear tire and measuring from the front bed support, My row 2 needed to be rear of center by 1/2". This puts my rear rail at 26 1/4 instead of 26 3/4" from the tailgate. Then everything lined up perfect. The fish wire provided really works great ( threads on to the bolt like a nut). My only problem was the spacer that gets fished with the carriage bolt was to wide for the large hole in my frame. I cut a 1/4" off the spacer and that was the only modification I made to this kit. Not all trucks are the same. XLNT kit, I was impressed !

This is a little confusing. Is the correct measurement 26 34 or 26 1/4 ??I installed a Curt rail kit a couple years ago. I do recall that if you use the instructiondimension...things line up better on a Dodge front rail if everything would have been about a 1/2 inch further rearward. Is there any way this can be clarified? I am starting on another install today. thanks.

The most current instructions for part # C16420 rail kit state that the measurement from end of bed to rear most edge of the rear rail is 26-3/4 inches on a 6 foot bed. Check out the instructions linked on the product page for more details and a couple of diagrams.

Very pleased etrailer.com and very appreciative with customer service because when receiving order from UPS the box was torn open and majority of hardware was missing. After taking inventory i called customer service explaining how it arrived the representative immediately ordered another hardware kit shipping out same evening, the install took about four hours with one small modification to a mounting bracket. Works great and very pleased so far

Took some time to install but overall wasn't horrible. I'd recommend these rails to anyone looking for this mounting style. Didn't have to remove tires or drill any holes besides through the bed of the truck. They are very strong and solid. etrailer.com is a great place to order from. Great customer service and tons of information for all your trailer and towing needs. I'll be ordering more in the near future. Overall a great shopping experience and a quality product!

So here I am 1 year later and 7000 + miles later having towed/hauled a 30' Keystone Cougar with the Curt E16K hitch and bed rails.
I installed the item and it was fairly easy with the help of a friend to help tighten bolts and nuts. On the rails I have the E16K Curt Hitch in a 2007 - 2500 Dodge Ram Cummins. I used to remove the Hitch after every trip. That lasted for the first 2-3 times. It is darn heavy to remove and put back in. So now I leave it installed in the truck and remove it when/if I need to haul something in the bed.

Hope this helps your decision and Happy Hauling :o)

It installed just as advertised, the video was helpful but the one I found on YouTube shows an actual install which was even more help by showing some of the minor issues during installation. The written directions were well done too. Also a quality product with a very good website to help order the right parts with ease.

Received my parts to install my 14K Reese 5th wheel hitch in a timely manner and free shipping .. Started the installation on my 2005 Ram 3500 Dually and the parts all fit GREAT... Installation time was exactly what the instructions said ... The following week we hooked up to our 2010 Cougar 34ft RV and left the Wet Coast of the Pacific Northwet and made the 2600 mile adventure to Northern Michigan.... E-TRAILER is AWESOME........
by:
2004 Dodge Ram Pickup
This kit fit my 2004 Ram 2500 exactly as advertised. Took way longer than the 90 minutes the directions state, to install, but I took my time and made sure all steps were done correctly. Something I should have done, that is not mentioned in the directions, is to "pre-mount" the hitch on these rails, prior to drilling and bolting. If you get it even a bit off parallel, you have binding..like I do..when trying to dismount the hitch. I will have to fight it, to put back on these rails also. My fault, not the kit. Etrailer is very helpful, quick and responsive. They have me as a repeat customer already.

Fish wire was too short for long bed installation. Instructions did not address how to clear my brake lines on the left side front bracket. Overall the installation was not as easy as the video depicts. I am a professional mechanic for over 30 years.

Etrailer is a company that I will recommend to anyone that has the need for trailer equipment. Thank you to the team that got my order shipped ahead of schedule. As for the Curt Q20/R20 hitch and installation kit it was a fairly easy installation on my Dodge Ram 2500. Everything was exactly as the videos on the etrailer site had stated.
by:
2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
I spent a few hours researching hitches before i settled on the Curt installation kit to go with my Anderson hitch. The directions were easy to follow, but i recommend watching the video as well. I installed this on my 2007 Dodge 2500 on my garage floor. I am sure this added a bit more time to the install, but for my first ever hitch install I had it installed and cleaned up in about 3 hours. I would definitely recommend this installation kit. etrailer was also very responsive to make sure they had my correct mailing info since I use a P.O. box for mail.
by:
2010 Dodge Ram Pickup
The worst hitch I have ever installed! All the pieces are nicely built and appear that they will hold up well, but I would rather install a universal hitch any day.

While I did not have to drill any holes in the frame, it was still a nightmare to put in. The bolt locations are next to impossible to get to with an end wrench much less a torque wrench.

The worst part is the exhaust hits heavy on one of the brackets. No fixing this....
by:
This is the second time I used this hitch mount. It wasn’t too hard to install on the ground. A vehicle lift, as shown on the product video, makes it look a lot easier but install is still very doable. The video is necessary to have in addition to the enclosed instructions.

The ordering staff has always been friendly and knowledgeable about the product.

etrailer will continue to be my first stop for all my RV products.

2006 Dodge Ram Pickup
What a Pain in the Butt. Watch the Video. It will help. Be ready to order additional parts/spacers if needed. You can do it by yourself but could really use another person at times. The rear tire removal is very helpful. Drop the rear drivers side shock tower. Then the back is pretty easy. The front is a pain. My brackets didn't reach up to the bed so I had to use spacers on top and bottom. Didn't have enough to do it so I had to order more. The screws for that location were too short so I had to go to Lowes to get longer ones. Those were a pain to get the nut on. I am still working on getting that done. Other than that, it does work.

    Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6099 is designed to fit the factory 5th wheel prep package that is in some 2013 to present Ram trucks. It would not fit your 2004 Ram 2500 since the factory prep package was not available for that model year. Does your Ram have a 5th wheel installation kit already installed?

    Curt has a set of custom install fifth wheel rails that fit your 2012 Ram 2500 like with the # C16420-204 but they do not list the # C16100 as a fit for your truck.

The base rails sit above the bed floor and will then allow you to mount any 5th wheel hitch that uses industry standard rails (ISR) like options from Reese, Pro Series, Curt, and Husky etc.

    There are a couple of things that could be causing the hitch jaws not to close and or lock when they should. First make sure the handle is always fully extended and the jaws are open and ready to accept the king pin. The trailer skid plate should be 1/2 an inch lower that the hitch skid plate at its lowest point. If the jaws are out of sync or even if you suspect that they may not be lined up correctly here is what you can do. First make sure the flip lock is hanging freely in the clockwise,...

    To determine the maximum trailer weight you can tow with your 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 you will need to find both the Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) and the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVWR). The GCWR and GVWR figures can be found on the information tag located inside the drivers door jamb. If you subtract the GVWR from the GCWR, that will give you the maximum Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) you can safely tow.

  • 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Install Kit for a 2012 Dodge Ram 3500 Diesel
    An awesome truck like your 2012 Ram 3500 deserves an equally awesome trailer hitch. What I recommend is the Reese Elite Series installation kit and 5th wheel hitch. The kit is # RP30074 and the benefit is that most of the kit will be below the truck bed so when the hitch is not being used you still have the complete use of the bed. For a hitch take a look at the Reese M5 Series 20K # RP30921. The hitch is rated higher than the stated capacity of the truck as you have indicated so it will...

  • 5th Wheel Hitch Type and Installation Kit for 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Short Bed
    If the hitch from the 2017 Ram is intended for the factory puck system, such as the B&W # BWRVK3670, then it cannot be installed in a truck with standard 5th wheel base rails. Your 6-foot bed Ram 2500 needs to use a sliding-type 5th wheel hitch like Curt # C16541 in order to have the turning clearance required to avoid the trailer overhang contacting the truck cab. The easiest base rail installation in your 2006 Ram 2500 will be with a custom install kit that requires less drilling. I...

  • 5th Wheel Installation Kit for a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 and Valley 70750 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch
    As long as your Valley 5th wheel trailer hitch fits in industry standard above the bed rails (which the 70750 model does) you can use a Reese, Curt, or Husky above the bed installation kit. Valley has gone out of business so there are no Valley kits being produced. I recommend Curt custom installation kit # C16420-204. It fits all bed lengths and cab styles on a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500. I have included a link to a video showing installation of this kit for you.

  • Problems Mounting Curt E16 5th-Wheel Hitch to Rails on 2010 Dodge Ram 3500
    It's difficult to say what could be causing the problem you are having installing your Curt E5 Fifth Wheel Hitch # C16115 without knowing the manufacturer of the existing rails on the 2010 Dodge Ram Pickup. The Curt E5 is compatible with above-bed base rails by B&W, Curt, Demco, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, Reese and Valley but it's possible the particular rails on your truck are simply not compatible. The front and rear rail should be 22 inches apart when measured from the center of...

  • Curt 5th Wheel Base Rail Kit Options for 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel 4x4 Pickup
    For your 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel 4x4 pickup you can use Curt Universal Base Rail Kit # C16200 as long as the truck does not have overload brackets. Universal kits cost a little less but they require more drilling and a longer overall installation time. The fastest and easiest 5th wheel base rail installation comes from using a custom-fit kit # C16420-204 that includes custom frame brackets that use existing holes in the frame. This means a lot less drilling. Semi-Custom kit # C16301-200...

  • 5TH Wheel Rail Kit and 5TH Wheel Hitches For a 2005 Ford F-350
    Depending on what mounts were used to attach to your frame you are going to need either the Curt Universal Rail Kit # C16200 or Curt Custom Fit Rail Kit # C16448-204. 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....

  • 2018 Ram 2500 5th Wheel Base Rail Kit Recommendation
    Thanks for reaching out, Jeff! For standard base rails you'll need the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16427-204 for your 2018 Ram 2500. This is a custom kit so you won't need to drill into the frame of your truck for the installation. Then for a 5th wheel hitch I recommend checking out the Curt A25 Slider # C35DR for a short bed or Fixed # C86BV for a long bed. I really like the A series hitches because they have interlocking jaws and a fully articulating torsion head so...

  • Can A Q25 Fixed Hitch Be Used In A Short Bed 2022 Ram 2500
    The Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package # C16049 would fit in a 6-1/2' bed like your 2022 Ram 2500 has, but you're limiting the amount of turning clearance you have and run the risk of the nose of the 5th wheel coming into contact with the cab of the truck when making tight turns. 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...

  • Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch to Fit B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch
    The only way to know how heavy a hitch you need is to find the trailer's gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) which is its maximum weight when fully loaded. There's likely a tag on the trailer that states the GVWR, or it may say on the trailer's documentation. You may also be able to contact the trailer manufacturer with the VIN to find its specs from when it was built. As a last resort you can load the trailer and weigh it. Of course this requires you to get it to a scale and you still...

  • Recommended 25K 5th Wheel Hitch For A 2022 Ford F-350 DRW
    Typically you'll only want to use 80-85% of any item's total capacity to keep a buffer safety zone so that you never risk having a product fail. You're correct that the only Companions at 25k capacity are for OEM puck systems. B&W is a great brand and is my favorite as well, but in this case they're not going to have anything compatible with with the # BWGNRK1116-5W that's going to have over 20k capacity, so you'll have to look at another brand.

    Hey Joel, There is no replacement handle for your Curt Q25 # C16566 that does not stick up above the hitch, they all use the same handle, and it's the only one that fits. You'll need to not use a tonneau cover with the hitch installed, or switch to a hitch like the Curt # C35DR which uses a handle that doesn't stick up above the head.
