Features to know about
Built to Tow Big Loads with Confidence: 25,000 lbs GTW and 6,250 lbs Vertical Load Limit
The Curt A25 is built from heavy-duty steel and rated for 25,000 lbs gross towing weight with a 6,250 lbs vertical load limit, giving it the strength to pull large 5th wheels without flex or movement. The carbide powder coat finish helps protect it against wear over the miles, and the fixed, above-bed design keeps everything solidly planted for stable towing. It’s a hitch that feels tight and controlled when you’re hauling serious weight.
Quiet, Secure Connection Every Time: Interlocking 2-Jaw System
The rounded, interlocking two-piece jaw completely wraps the king pin for full 360-degree contact. That solid grip means less rattle than slide-bar models and a smoother ride down the road. You’ll notice how steady it feels under acceleration or braking—no banging or clunking between truck and trailer—so long trips stay calm and predictable.
Know Exactly When You’re Ready to Tow: Three-Point Color Indicator System
The color-coded lock indicator takes the guesswork out of hitching. Red shows uncoupled, yellow shows ready to couple, and green means you’re locked in for towing. It’s easy to see from the handle or right on the hitch itself, so you can confirm your hookup without climbing in and out of the bed. The handle also self-resets after uncoupling, so it’s ready when you back under again.
Smooth Hookup and Easy Removal: Fully Articulating Torsion Head with 1-Pin Release
The fully articulating torsion head self-aligns as you back up, helping the king pin glide into place with less effort. It also suppresses road shock and reduces noise once you’re hitched. When it’s time to clear your bed, pull one pin to lift off the head—it’s designed so one person can remove it solo. That combination of smooth operation and quick breakdown makes towing days simpler from start to finish.
Simple Setup That Fits Your Routine: Adjustable Height from 13" to 17"
With 4" of height adjustment built in, you can fine-tune your setup for level towing and proper bed rail clearance. The included plastic lube plate ensures a smooth connection during hookup, and built-in zerk fittings make lubrication easy to keep up with. Everything about this hitch—strong construction, smart controls, and easy maintenance—adds up to reliable performance every trip out.

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.

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!

Ive been using this fifth wheel set up for about 5 months now and I don't have any complaints. I pull a 2022 Heartland Cyclone 4006 toyhauler fifth wheel. Loaded down its usually weighing between 18 to 20,000 lbs depending on what we are hauling.

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!

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.

Great Hitch. I haven't used it to pull yet but it's heavier and seems more sturdy than the Reese I replaced. I also like the interlocking jaws. Many time hitching with the reese I'd have to use a flashlight to see that the jaws were closed but not any more. I'll update once I pull the camper with it.

I was happy with the transaction with etrailer. The website was very helpful in finding what I needed. The product was received ahead of the committed date. The only problem was with the packaging. Some of the boxes were pretty beat-up and the parts were scratched with the finish damaged. That was a little disappointing.

Arrived in great shape, easy to install. Can't wait to give it a try. Looks well built and easy to use. The release handle is just in a different position than my old 20K Reese so will be a little more of a reach to get to the lock pin.

See what our Experts say about this CURT 5th Wheel Hitch
- Fifth Wheel Hitch Install Kit for Trucks With Carbon Fiber BedsOther than the 2022 Toyota Tundra and the 2019+ GMC Sierra 1500 Denali, I'm not aware of any other currently available composite bed trucks. None of our vendors yet offer a 5th wheel bracket/rail option for the 2022 Tundra, but Curt offers the # C65KR bracket/rail kit for the 2019+ GMC Sierra Denali 1500, as long as it isn't the 5-1/2 foot bed.
view full answer... - Which Curt Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Fits 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 6-1/2 foot BedCurt does offer a set of custom install fifth wheel rails that fit your 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 6-1/2 foot bed with the part # C65KR but the part # C16400-104 you referenced does not fit your truck. Since you have a short bed truck you would need a slider hitch to give you the needed turning clearance like the A16 part # C16521.
view full answer... - Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 w/ a Short BedSince your 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 has a short bed, you would need either a rotating pin box, if your bed is 5-3/4' in length, or a sliding fifth wheel hitch, if your bed is 6-1/2' in length. These options would allow for enough turning clearance to prevent the nose of the trailer from coming into contact with the cab of your Silverado when making tight turns. If your 2017 Keystone RV Cougar X-Lite 29RES comes with a Lippert Turning Point or Reese Sidewinder pin box then you'll need...

Starting with the base rails and installation kit I recommend the Curt Semi-Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC Truck # C65KR which is confirmed to fit the 6-1/2' and 8' bed of the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and will not require drilling into the frame of your vehicle. Moving on to the 5th wheel hitch I recommend the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R16 Slider # C16521 if your truck...

The Andersen hitch you have is designed to fit the industry standard fifth wheel rails which is what this kit provides. Since this is a custom install kit there wouldn't be any frame drilling compared to universal options. To add a 7-way up in the bed of your truck to make connecting the trailer wiring easier you'd also want the part # 41157 and...

If that isn't the case, please let me know. There isn't a puck system available that's like the OEM puck system offered on the 3/4 and 1 ton trucks, but we do offer a solution that might work for you that has the mount for the hitch install so it's under the bed which leaves the bed unobstructed. Once the hitch is removed, there'll just be a single hole in the truck bed which won't interfere with loading or unloading the...
view full answer... - Does Curt Universal Base Rail Kit Fit 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500The Curt Base Rail Kit # C16200 is a universal option so technically it will fit your 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 but you will likely have to drill through your frame to get it to fit. To avoid drilling into your frame I recommend using the Custom Install Kit # C65KR instead. Installation instructions have been linked for you to check out.

This set of rails is industry standard which means they will work with most 5th wheel hitches on the market. They fit both the 6-1/2' and 8' bed lengths. To make towing with a 5th wheel easier, I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness item # C53CR. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed of your Sierra and allows you...

This hitch uses the R20 slider which is needed for proper turning clearance in your short bed truck. The hitch has an interlocking 2-jaw system that provides a 360-degree jaw-to-king-pin contact to provide less rattle and more security than slide-bar models. This hitch has a 3-Point indicator system, the color coding tells you if the hitch...

Instead, the correct Curt install kit for your truck is the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC # C65KR. These are a custom fit for your truck, which means you do not have to drill into its frame, which is not only good for your truck but also a serious time-saver.

One is a glossy black finish and the other is a carbide black, which essentially means it just doesn't have quite as much shine to it. Otherwise, they are exactly the same, with the same parts and no-drill install in the frame rails of your truck: - Gloss Black Finish: Curt Semi-Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC Truck...

view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Rail Kit and Hitch Recommendation for 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Adaptive Ride ControlI checked with Curt and their rail kit part # C65KR that is listed as a fit for your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 6-1/2 ft bed does not have any fit exclusions for Denali or Adaptive Ride Control so it would fit and work great. Then for a slider hitch the A16 slider part # C16521 would be a great option that has a tight and quiet jaw design and a round tube slider. Our customers who have own this hitch really like it so I recommend it highly.

However, I'd recommend the Curt A16 hitch, part # C16521 over what Reese offers. Unlike the Reese hitch, the Curt A16 offers a torsion articulating system for the hitch head which helps isolate the tow vehicle from road shock and noise. The interlocking hitch jaws hold the king pin much more tightly around its circumference...

The kit provides the industry standard 5th wheel mounting rails that are compatible with your Reese sliding 5th wheel hitch from your old truck. Reese also offers a bracket/rail kit, part # RP56015-53, but the Curt kit I recommended is less expensive and would work just as well.

This is a sliding hitch that will help provide you with the necessary clearance to make tight turns while towing your 5th wheel trailer and the A20 head has a unique spherical axial bearing that allows for 360 movement of the hitch head. This feature is especially important when it comes to coupling and un-coupling...

If you're wanting more of a standard kit then you need the Curt Custom Installation Kit # C65KR but this is an above-bed system.

With that said the Demco Recon part # DM8550045 can not be used with a Sidewinder since this attaches to a gooseneck ball and the Sidewinders require a hitch that attaches to the truck bed in four locations like the Reese # RP30047 which attaches to industry standard rails.

Your Reese Elite Series Hitch (discontinued part 30143) has a height range of 14-1/2" - 17" and is only able to secure to the OEM puck system on your 2021 Ford F-450 Super Duty, so we either need to get you a taller hitch that mounts directly to the pucks or you can use the Curt Adapter Rails # C88KR with a different hitch to gain more height like what you said.

First we have the Adapter Rails # C29BR which fit into the pucks and give you the ISR mounting points. Do note this will raise the hitch 2" so you will likely need to lower the height of the hitch.

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...

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. You and your wife look like such lovely people, so it pains me to say that is indeed going to cost you a pretty penny.....

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. There are no custom fit kits for the cab and chassis models so these will require some drilling to get set up. Do you have any kind of utility or flat bed installed on your truck?

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. The Q24 is rated for 24,000 lbs, the Q25 is rated for 25,000 lbs. These two 5th wheel hitches cannot be used with a rotating pin box....
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... - Can Curt Q24 Fifth Wheel Hitch be Used with Rota Flex Pin BoxIf you locked out the rotating portion of the Rota-Flex pin box you could use the Curt Q24 # C16245 with it. Or if you wanted to keep using that feature of the pin box you could go with the A25 hitch part # C16180 which is a redesigned version of the Q24 that will work with the RotaFlex.
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...
view full answer... - Does Curt A25 Fifth Wheel Hitch Ride in the Center of the Rails on a 2008 Ford F-250 or F-350?Yes, the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16180 will sit in the center of the rails. 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.

- 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....
