Features to know about

Built to Tow Heavy 5th Wheels with Total Confidence: 25,000 lbs GTW and 6,250 lbs Vertical Load Limit

The Curt A25 is engineered for serious hauling, rated for 25,000 lbs gross towing weight and 6,250 lbs vertical load. Its sturdy steel build and carbide powder coat finish give it the backbone to handle big fifth wheels season after season. When you’re heading out on long trips with a heavy camper or toy hauler, this hitch keeps things solid and dependable from hookup to highway speeds.

Get a Solid, Quiet Connection: Interlocking Dual Jaw with 360-Degree Contact

The interlocking two-jaw system wraps completely around the king pin for 360-degree contact. That full-wrap design cuts down on rattle and movement you’d get from slide-bar hitches, keeping the trailer locked in tight and the ride quieter. The built-in torsion head adds cushioning that smooths out road shock and minimizes chucking, so every mile feels stable and controlled.

Always Know You’re Locked In: Three-Point Color-Coded Indicator

Peace of mind comes from knowing your connection is secure at a glance. The three-point indicator uses color coding—red for uncoupled, yellow for ready to couple, and green for towing—so you can see exactly what position the jaws are in from outside the cab. The handle locks easily with a padlock (sold separately) and automatically resets to the ready-to-couple position once you unhook, so it’s ready when you are.

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

For slow-speed turns or backing into tight spots, the non-binding S25 slider gives you 12 inches of travel front to back. It slides smoothly in both directions and latches automatically, creating the clearance needed between your cab and trailer during tight maneuvers. The quiet, solid slider design anchors securely to industry-standard rails for confident handling every time you adjust.

Break It Down Fast When You Need Bed Space: One-Pin Head Removal

When it’s time to clear your truck bed, the A25 makes it easy. Pull a single pin to lift off the head—no tools or special equipment required. The design lets one person handle removal so you can get back to using your bed for gear or cargo. Two built-in zerk fittings also make lubrication simple before the next trip, keeping everything moving smoothly and ready for the next haul.

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.

Showed up 1 day late but was still to me quickly, boxes were damaged and instructions were missing but was able to find online. Easy to install and work perfectly.

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.

After a year and around 7,000 miles pulling our fifth wheel camper, I love the hitch. I have not had to use the sliding portion but glad we have it if we need it

by:
Great product, But.. anyone who thinks the install is easy has either never installed these or is not telling the truth! Access to the under bed rail bolts is near impossible!

The installation video is very helpful friendly service and fast shipping and very accurate fitment definitely recommend e trailer for any trailer needs and accessories

The products have worked flawlessly no problems and thank you for checking back with me its nice when a company cares about there costumers. Next time I need any trailer products I will definitely be contacting etrailer.

by:
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
by:
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.
by:
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.
by:
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.
by:
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.
by:
2013 Chevrolet Silverado
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.
by:
It arrived on great shape for being so heavy! Packed very well.
by:
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
by:
Heavy steel construction. Went on without an issue. Everything fit like a glove. I would suggest the 10-bolt pattern as I did for extra strength and security.

by:
2019 Chevrolet Silverado
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.

by:
2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
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!
by:
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

Excellent product easy to follow instructions assembled easily. Reminder unit is very heavy for one person but it can be done.

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 .

  • 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.

    Hello Valerie, Thanks for writing in! I actually have a better solution for you. 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...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Underbed System for 2015 Chevy Silverado Short Bed with Gooseneck Integrated
    There is only one option to help you get the gooseneck and rails you desire in your 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 short bed. 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...

    Hey Nathan, thanks for reaching out! 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...

Since you have a 2012 you're good to go with just the two bolts you referenced.

  • Can a Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch Be Used With a Long Bed Truck
    You absolutely can put a slider 5th wheel hitch in your 2015 Chevrolet 3500 long bed; it's more than likely you won't need the sliding function to make turns so it could stay in the forward travel position. 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. Not to mention they are bigger and weigh more than stationary hitches so removing, and installing them is a little more difficult. To put your existing...

  • Can Curt Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Work with Pullrite Superglide Fifth Wheel Hitch
    If 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.

  • Placement of Curt C16411-204 5th Wheel Bed Rails in Bed of 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500
    The back edge of the front most rail would be 47-1/2 inches forward of the rear edge of the truck bed (not the tailgate) for a short bed truck or 52-3/8 inches on long bed trucks. 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 Recommendation
    Hey 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...

  • Can 5th Wheel Rails be Installed Over a Plastic Bed Liner on a 2012 GMC Sierra 2500HD
    Since you have a plastic bed liner in your 2012 GMC Sierra 2500HD you will have to trim the liner in the foot print of the bed rails in order to install the kit, # C16411-204, in the truck. 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...

  • How To Install Fifth Wheel Hitch Rails In A Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Short Bed
    The installation of your fifth wheel hitch rails will be specific to your vehicle and will include centering the rails and your hitch in your truck bed. 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). Then use your fifth wheel hitch as a guide to position the front rail and a tape...

  • Can I Tow A Grand Design Reflection 303RLS With A 2018 Chevy 2500 HD?
    Yes, I believe you can tow a Grand Design Reflection 303RLS with your 2018 Chevy 2500 HD. With the 5th wheel towing limit of 13,500, you will be below capacity, even with the camper fully loaded. A fifth wheel hitch like the Curt E16 # C16115 will have sufficient capacity to tow your camper. I will say that the E16 is more of a budget option, and if you plan to tow frequently I recommend upgrading to a Curt A16 hitch like the # C16120. This will have much smoother head rotation, and it...

  • 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....

    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.
