A20 Two-Piece Interlocking JawA20 Two-Piece Interlocking Jaw

Unlike slide-bar models, the rounded, interlocking, two-piece jaw on this fifth-wheel trailer hitch inhibits rattle and movement by securely wrapping around your trailer's king pin, resulting in easier hookup and a safer, quieter ride.


Three-Point Indicator System

A20 Color Indicator System

Get peace of mind with Curt's color-coded lock indicator. Just look at the indicator - either the one on the handle or the one on the hitch itself - to determine whether the jaw is in the correct position to uncouple (red), couple (yellow) or tow (green).

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.

  • 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation Kit Options for a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 Short Bed
    There are several different 5th wheel trailer hitch installation kits for a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 short bed, see link. There is semi-custom kit # RP30035-023 and # C16303-200. There are also custom kits: # RP50040-58 and # C16419-204. I have included links to the instructions for you.

  • Is There Drilling Involved in the Installation of Fifth Wheel Rails in a 2004 Dodge Ram Pickup
    The Curt Custom, No-Drill Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit # C16419 will install on the frame rails of your 2004 Dodge Ram with out having to drill. If you are wanting to install the side brackets and in-bed rails, I recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16419-204. The in-bed rails will require you to drill through the bed for each of the mounting bolts.

  • Available Fifth Wheel Installation Kits for 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 Short Bed
    The B&W Semi-Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit # BWRVR3202-00 fits only 2500 and 3500-series Ram pickups. For your 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 short bed pickup the B&W installation kit you can use is part # BWGNRK1316-5W (which doubles as a gooseneck hitch) along with 20K hitch # BWRVK3400-5W. If you want a custom-fit above-bed base rail kit you can use Reese # RP50040-58, Husky # HT31413-686 or Curt # C16419-204. All are custom kits that reduce drilling and overall installation time.

  • 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Installation Kit for a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 Long Bed
    Slider hitches can slide back towards the tailgate of the truck which allows for more clearance between the trailer and the truck cab when making turns. Short bed trucks pretty much require a slider for most 5th wheel towing applications because the distance between the centerline of the hitch and the back of the truck cab is so short. If you have a long bed truck then you don't have to worry about clearance and you can use a fixed 5th wheel hitch. For your 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 long bed...

  • Can Base Rails on 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 Be MOved Back for Short Bed Clearance
    When installing a base rail kit for 5th wheel towing there are specific places the brackets need to go, which can be found in the installation instructions. If you don't already have base rails I recommend checking out the following: - Universal # BWRVR3200 - Custom # C16419-204 The universal rails are less expensive but they do require drilling into your vehicle frame, whereas the custom brackets bolt right up to existing holes so the installation is much less labor intensive. I recommend...

  • Does Pullrite 2700 5th Wheel Hitch Fit Curt No-Drill Bracket C16419?
    Yes, the Pullrite 2700 fits industry standard rails so you could go with Curt Custom, No-Drill Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit for Dodge Ram # C16419 if you just need the brackets. Or for the complete kit you can go with Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Dodge Ram 1500/2500 - Carbide Finish # C16419-204 which includes the brackets and the rails for your 2003 Dodge Ram 6-1/2' or 8' bed.

    In order to install a set of airbags on your 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 2WD with the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit part # C16419-204 you will want to use the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57257. The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2286 would likely require modifications and would not be a direct fit out of the box due to the upper bracket. That said, the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs are just as good as the Firestone Ride-Rite Air...

    For your 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab with 6'6" bed you can use the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16419-204. This will provide you with a set of Industry Standard Rails (ISR) to use a 5th wheel hitch like the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R20 Slider # C16541 or any other 5th wheel hitch that attaches to Industry Standard Rails.

  • Will the Curt E5 Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Fit in Reese Above the Bed Rails
    The Curt E5 5th wheel trailer hitch, # C16115, does fit in Reese above the bed rails. I have included a link to the installation details for you. If you want to go with a Curt installation kit if your 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 does NOT have a Mega Cab, use # C16419-204. If it does have a Mega Cab, use # C16420-204.

    The 5th Wheel installation kit available for the 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 Short Bed is the Universal Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation Kit with Rails, # 6005. There is no custom install kit (other than the one for the signature series hitches). I have included the instructions for the kit below. Page 14 of the instructions shows installation details for your vehicle. Installing a universal kit is only a little bit more difficult and time consuming than a custom kit.

  • Can Reese Elite Hitch Install on Curt Adapter Rails for More Height on a 2021 Ford F-450 Puck System
    Hey Bryan, thanks for reaching out! 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. The first option I recommend exploring is the B&W Companion # BWRVK3305 because it installs...

  • Curt Fifth Wheel Rail Kit and Hitch Recommendation for 2020 GMC 3500 without OEM Rail Kit
    The correct Curt rail kit you need for your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 long bed without the OEM rail kit is the part # C16429-204 so that you can install a Curt hitch like the very well designed A20 part # C16140 which has more capacity than you'd need and has the best jaw design Curt has come up with which gives you a quiet and very secure ride quality. These two part numbers would be all that you'd need.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a 20219 Ford F-350
    Hey 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.

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

    Henry, 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....

    Since 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...

    Thanks for reaching out! The 5th wheel hitch I recommend for the OEM puck system on your 2023 Ford F-450 Super Duty is the Curt A25 # C16180 which connects to the pucks using the Adapter Rails # C88KR. I really like the A25 because it has dual interlocking jaws that wrap around the king pin and provide 360 degree contact, as well as a fully articulating torsion head. With these features you get a really smooth and secure towing experience. When it comes to a bed liner for your truck,...

    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.

  • Weight of Curt C16180 A25 5th Wheel Hitch for 2022 Ford F350 With OEM Puck System
    The Curt A25 5th wheel hitch you'd looked at, part # C16180 weighs about 120 lbs, and the necessary # C88KR base rail to puck adapter weighs right at 70 lbs. The hitch is a bit heavy, but its weight can be significantly reduced by removing the hitch from the head, which is done by pulling one clevis pin. This breaks the hitch down into two pieces that are more easily handled. If you'd like to install a 7-way in your truck bed so you don't have to run the trailer connector up over the...

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 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....
