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.
Nice fit easy to install
The instructions were spot on and the install was straight forward. I had to get a little creative to tighten some of the bolts because of clearance issues but other than that it went well
Installed in my 2011 F150 on level ground...no lift. Did it my self with help from my son. Is as stated.
I love the Curtis fifth wheel hitch for my F150 2006 Ford it was easy to install and easy to use pulls great no problems at all thank you
Order arrived very quickly. Package and contents in great shape. Have not installed as of yet because still waiting on the ORDERED NEW Truck. Have test fitted to another like vehicle and see no problems. Have also test fitted my older Reese 14K 5th wheel hitch to the Curt rails, again no problems. Appear identical except for 3 additional holes in each base rail as compared to the original Reese rails. Have ordered from etrailer.com before and always satisfied with there products, service, quality, timeliness, and more.
Installed in 2013 F-150 61/2 ft bed. Everything fit as it should. Directions were pretty straight forward. Have a long handled 3/4 open or box end wrench on hand. No room for ratchet . Lightly tape front nuts and spacers together and slide under bolt and start threads from above. They are carriage bolts but long enough to start threads. You'll see what I mean. All parts included, frame brackets fit perfectly. Very satisfied with Curt c16441-204 fifth wheel installation kit and etrailer. I've dealt with etrailer before and never had a problem.
Ellen was very good assisting me with my first purchase from etrailer.
We discussed options about 5th wheels vs gooseneck with adapter.
The recommendation was a fifth wheel, then she suggested the curt with 360 swivel and cushioned. I have been greatly pleased with this setup.
My wife and I completed the installion in 3 1/2 hrs.
I'll be doing more business with etrailer.
Thanks James
Note: have pulled 6000 lb camper about 3 trips, handles great
I have been using this hitch for a year now. Very easy smooth operation. There is a little noise when towing, but after I added some grease, It has been a pretty quiet hitch. Easy installation with the large brackets and very solid.
Unfortunately it was missing a bunch of nuts, bolts and square hole washers. Called and they have been sent. I've improvised in the meantime to complete the install. Not so easy to install. Had to put the front carriage bolts upside down as I couldn't fit my hand between the frame and the bed to start the nut.
Had products within 5 days and this including Saturday and Sunday. The mounting brackets match up to truck perfectly. only needed to remove the spare tire. did right on the floor of my garage. It was a two person operation getting bolts. total worth spending extra to avoid drilling in to the frame. 3 to 4 hours to complete project. that includes installing the hitch and clean up.
Great easy to install hawever no longer own but will be buying from etrailer for next set on new truck.
Well made, quick delivy
Nice install everything fit just right. Product is everything they said instructions were clear and easy to follow. The shipping was right on time and everyone at Etrailer was very helpful I would order from them again .
Great kit, had a hitch already and just neede the plates and brakets for the frame so this kit was perfect. nice hardware, clear instructions and fit perfect, would definately buy again
Perfect fit great packaging. Not quite sure how to torque the bolts when you can’t get a socket between the frame and bracket thanks very good website
So far so good haven’t had a chance to install yet but will update when I do. Everything was came in 2 boxes but looks like shipping company had a hard time with it lol boxes were pretty rough shap but looks like nothing is missing
The product was very well built. It was a fairly easy install on my F-150, the only real problem was installing the front bolt of the rail it is in a tight area. Price was exceptional compared to local RV store, I like buying local but $100 dollars in savings had to buy at etrailer. Sales staff excellent and price awesome!
The brackets went on the frame with the help of included wire devices to thred the bolts through the frame existing holes. They support the rails nicely and have performed as advertised. I would buy them again.
The product was received in three days and was well packaged. The hitch mounting kit fit perfectly and was easy to install.
Installed in my 2013 f150. Everthing fit perfectly. Very pleased. It took longer than I figured because I have the plastic wheel wells on this pickup. And they dont come out easily. So worked around them.
Got the fifth wheel home (3 hr trip) after purchase, then it sat for the last year. No issues except no place to go for a year. Hopefully, this year will be better,
Great service and speedy shipping, they will get you the right parts!
Kit came on day promised. Assembled easily with instructions provided. Karen in customer service was very helpful and more than willing to spend as much time as needed to make Sure i ordered what I needed
Super fast shipping. Great product
Excellent product and easy installation.
