  • Strength You Can Trust: Rated for 25,000 lbs GTW and 6,250 lbs vertical load for towing large fifth wheels.

  • Know You're Hooked Up at a Glance: Color-coded 3-point indicators show coupling and towing status.
  • Tight Turns Made Easy: Non-binding slider offers 12" travel to prevent trailer-to-cab contact at low speed.
  • Easy to Remove: 1-pin head removal and two-piece design make handling and storage manageable.

Features to know about

Built for Serious Loads: 25,000 lbs GTW and 6,250 lbs Vertical Load Limit

This heavy-duty hitch is designed to handle big fifth wheels with confidence. Rated for 25,000 lbs gross towing weight and 6,250 lbs vertical load, it provides a solid foundation for smooth, stable pulling. The sturdy steel construction is finished in a durable carbide powder coat that stands up to hard use. It’s a hitch that feels strong and stays solid mile after mile.

Stay Secure and Eliminate Rattle: Interlocking Dual-Jaw Design with 360-Degree Contact

The interlocking two-jaw system wraps fully around the trailer’s king pin to create 360-degree contact. Compared to slide-bar models, this setup greatly cuts down on movement and noise while improving security. The result is a quieter, more controlled towing experience where the trailer tracks steady behind you instead of clunking or rattling over every bump.

See Your Connection at a Glance: Color-Coded Three-Point Indicator

A built-in three-point indicator takes the guesswork out of coupling. The color display clearly shows when the jaws are open, ready to couple, or locked for towing—so you can confirm your connection without climbing into the truck bed. The handle also self-resets after uncoupling, so the hitch is instantly ready when you back under again.

Turn Tight and Tow Confidently: Non-Binding S25 Slider with 12" Travel

For short-bed setups or close maneuvers, the S25 slider provides 12 inches of fore/aft travel to prevent cab contact during slow turns. It latches automatically in both directions for easy operation and moves smoothly without binding. That extra clearance keeps things safe and lets you back into tight spots or make sharp turns without worry.

Make Removal Easier: One-Pin Head Release and Built-In Lube Plate

When it’s time to reclaim your bed space, the Curt A25’s head comes off fast with a single pin—no tools needed. Built-in zerk fittings make lubrication simple, and the included plastic lube plate ensures the king pin glides smoothly during hookup. Together they keep maintenance quick so you can focus on the next trip instead of fighting with gear.

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.

The Curt Custom 5th Wheel kit specifically for our 2016 RAM 1500 Crew Cab, 5’ 7” bed, was perfect. Professional installation cost $400+. CombinEd with the Reese sidewinder we installed ourselves, we can almost make a 90 degree turn if ever needed. Thanks, JW, Long Island, NY.

In this case... You get what you pay for! This was a high quality product that was specific for my 2017 Ram 1500 6 1/2' bed. This was the only kit I found specific for short(er) bed RAM Trucks. Following the paper instructions along with the video provided by etrailer.com made this install downright easy.

DIY'ers - Remove the spare tire first! I reversed my truck onto Rhino Ramps and had plenty of room to do this job with typical tools and the help of a ratcheting 1/2 inch wrench. Use a punch / drill a pilot hole for your larger bit. Don't worry about the 17/32 drill bit.. a 1/2" bit worked just fine. This will not be a quick job, like the one shown on the video. Allow yourself time to take 4 hours to complete the job. You will have a crap ton of spacers left over.

67" Beds - Follow the video to the T.. The truck in the video is obviously a 67" Bed.

76" Beds - You'll notice when it's time to add the frame brackets that the video has a frame beam but up against the bracket that goes on the frame.. Yours will be further back.. You'll also notice the frame doesn't match.. Don't worry, use the same hole location as instructed on the video. You only have to remove the frame stabilizer on the drivers side..

I followed the install video, but did not try to remove dual exhaust. Remove rear tires, wiggle cross brace in to place from right side of truck. Was worried, mounted close to the front of bed. But really happy, kit was great. Took 6 hours to install, with help from the wife. When hooked up, lots of room to turn. Very happy, thank you

Installation kit is a good quality product. I was a mechanic for over 25 years and found the instructions to be thorough but somewhat difficult to understand. The instructions are vehicle specific but should have more photos showing things like where to drill access holes. It's also a good idea to remove the spare tire for easier access. Instructions say it should take 90 min to install, (maybe my next time), took me about 4 hrs by myself. I like that it is compatible with multiple hitches.

Customer and product support is better than great as well as prices, service and available selection. Being new to 5th wheel hitch requirements I was able to get all the info needed on type and additional parts required. Received everything on a timely basis, had it installed locally without any problems what-so-ever. This is a great company by any standard and sure to be the next retailer success. They have covered all the basis in what it takes to be not just a good retailer but truly a great retailer.

Etrailer is the best. Rails and kit arrived quick and in good shape. I have put 2 on Ford's and we're a lot easier because of room to work, Rams are pretty tight. Rails and kit are great quality and cheaper than Reese kits. A lift would have made it easier but not necessarily.

Tracking is showing that it has finally arrived. Can you please let me know if the tracking is correct or not? Sometimes, packages will deliver to the wrong address, so I also recommend you contacting your neighbors if you still have not received it to see if they got it in your place.

  • Recommended 5th-Wheel Hitch that is Easily Removed on 2014 Ram 1500
    Choosing the right 5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch for your 2014 Ram 1500 will depend first on the weight of the trailer you plan on towing. You will want to make sure the truck and hitch have weight capacities that exceed the trailer's loaded weight. Since your Ram 1500 has a short 5-1/2 foot bed, the safest way to tow a trailer is to use a stationary 5th-wheel hitch and replace the pin box on the trailer with a Sidewinder, if it does not have one already. The Sidewinder will be required to add...

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Ram 1500
    There is a great option to tow a fifth wheel trailer with your 2017 Ram 1500, and I highly recommend the Curt A20 because it is extremely reliable and easy to use. The correct hitch will depend on if you have a short bed or a long bed; if your '17 Ram 1500 has a 6-1/2 foot bed you will need a sliding hitch, the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R20 Slider # C16541 or if you have a long bed you will need a fixed hitch, the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16140. The A20 has an interlocking...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch For 2015 Ram 1500 With Eco Diesel
    When towing a 5th wheel trailer with a truck that has less than an 8 foot bed, clearance issues can arise. Since your Ram has a 6 1/2 foot bed I recommend using a hitch that has a slider base. Whenever you need to make a tight turn it will allow you to slide the hitch back towards the tailgate and give you the clearance needed so the nose won't come in contact with the cab. Since the Reese # RP30047 doesn't have a slider, I wouldn't recommend using it on a short (less than 8') bed truck. I...

    I do have options for you but they do not make any under-bed mounting kits for your 2015 Ram 1500 with the 5-1/2' bed. I recommend taking a look at the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16120. This hitch has a 16,000 lb weight capacity for heavy duty towing, a two jaw locking system for maximum jaw to kingpin contact, and a fully articulating torsion head for easy hookups. It also has built-in zerk fittings which allows for easy lubrication. In order to install this hitch in the...

    The shipping weight of the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # C16180 that you linked to is 130 lbs. Obviously a portion of that is packaging material. If you do not already have the needed base rails installed in your 2016 Ram 1500, 5-1/2 Foot Bed with EcoDiesel engine, I suggest the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit, # C16444-204. The shipping weight for this item is 74 lbs. I have linked an installation video of this product being installed on a 2016 Ram.

If you have a 2017 Ram 1500 then it would not fit your truck. You will instead need # C16444 if you need the brackets and hardware only.

    The only Pullrite Super Glide 5th wheel hitch that would work with the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16444-204 is the Pullrite ISR series which is the 2700 or 2900 models. For your Pullrite, you will need to get the rails from Pullrite if you do not have a 2700 or 2900 series hitch. If you do have this hitch, then the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16444-204 will work fine.

    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.
