Video Transcript for Review of CURT Fifth Wheel Hitch - Hitch Legs - C16021
Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the CURT OEM Fifth Wheel Hitch Legs for the RAM Towing Prep Package. Has a 25,000 pound gross towing weight capacity. Now, this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 2013 and newer RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks, with the eight foot long bed, and the factory installed underbed towing prep package.
This custom base is specifically designed to attach to the receivers in your RAM's trucks factory installed underbed fifth wheel towing prep package, and it'll adapt most CURT fifth wheel hitch heads to fit the RAM puck system. The heads will attach right here. And they are designed, these legs here will work with the following CURT hitch heads. They work with the A16, the A25, and the E16, and they also work with the Q20, the Q24, and the Q25 hitch heads. All those hitch heads, we do sell separately on our website.
And that'll install this into the factory underbed system. I just wanted to show you. It uses the quarter turn anchoring system for a quick installation and removal, just to demonstrate that, we're zoomed in on this one leg. And you'll do this on all four legs. But what you'll do is flip up this safety pin, and take out the safety pin.
And you can see it's tethered, so you won't lose it. Once that's out, just move this away, and then just rotate this 90 degrees. And you can see, if you notice, when you rotate it, that tab at the bottom will rotate, and that'll let you take it out. In other words, when you open it like that, that's in the unlocked position. So, you do this on each leg, and now you're ready to drop this into the factory system on your RAM truck.
Once these drop into the pucks that are in your factory system, then you just take this, rotate this back, and by doing that, it rotates the tab here and locks it into the puck. And then, to make sure it stays, you just put your safety pin through there, and that will hold that in spot. And again, you'll do that on all four legs. And these anchors right here, they can be adjusted to eliminate movement between the legs and the underbed rails. Now, the finish on this, it is co-cured in a rust resistant liquid A coat, and it is protected by a durable carbide black powder coat finish. Again, the gross towing weight capacity is 25,000 pounds. But that should do it for the review on the CURT OEM Fifth Wheel Hitch Legs for the RAM Towing Prep Package, and this has a 25,000 pound gross towing weight capacity.

These Curt fifth-wheel legs are specially designed to attach to the receivers in your Ram's factory, underbed fifth-wheel towing prep package. Legs mount in factory sockets.by: Roger 08/17/2022
I purchased this Curt 5th wheel hitch base for my 2022 Ram 3500. I had a Q25 5th wheel head and needed the base for the factory puck system. I transport RV's both bumper pull and 5th wheels for a living. The Curt 5th wheel hitch has worked flawlessly.
Comments
One year update since my last review on this product. Its still working flawlessly.
Roger - 08/25/2023by: Donald04/16/2022
Just what I needed! And still enough room for other items in the bed!
Comments
Excellent! It allows me to have room to do extra!
Donald E - 04/17/2023by: Roger02/24/2022
Very well built. The hitch is heavy and requires two people to remove or put in easily. I use my skid steer to put in and take out. I am very pleased with the hitch and glad I bought it.
Comments
In my opinion this is the best hitch made. I would recommend it to anyone.
Roger - 02/24/2023by: Kevin 08/26/2023

This Ram leg kit was a simple swap with the GMC leg kit that was on my Curt A20. No problems and works well.
by: Mark 05/31/2023
The folks were very helpful getting me set up for towing my rv with the new puck hitch from the my old rail system. Thanks again it works great!
by: 1StrangeAdventure (YouTube)09/05/2020
Fairly easy install but recommend having help. It’s quite heavy once assembled with the head mounted. One of the cords that holds the rings to the legs snapped as soon as I tried to insert it for the first time. Other than that, this product is great. Fits perfectly.
by: Douglas 09/26/2022
Fit perfectly in factory mounts on Ram 3500.

This mounting base for the ram puck system is well built and heavy duty.very simple to install. I definitely recommend
by: Robert08/18/2021
The product was great, the packing wasn't tough enough to withstand the rough handling UPS gave it. It had holes in it and rubbed the paint off one of the legs. With that in mind an overall rating of 3 is what I would give it. Hopefully my gooseneck ball set up will arrive in better conditon.
Comments
Sorry to hear about the packaging. It is important to cover any scratches with anti-corrosive paint to keep rust at bay. Here are more tips:

perfect, no issues so far
Curt R - 11/20/2015by: Ralph11/18/2021
As always etrailer customer service is excellent. The item shipped right away and was actually delivered ahead of schedule. The fifth wheel hitch legs fit perfectly with our Curt A16 hitch head and they fit perfectly in our 2021 Ram 2500 truck. They were very easy to install. I cannot give 5 stars due to the poor packaging and scratches on the hitch legs during shipping. Curt really needs to tune up how they package these heavier items. Other than so far so good.
by: Sylvia 02/20/2023
It fit great thank you
by: Baker11/15/2017
Recieved my Ram oem Curt 5th wheel legs today. Ordered last Thursday and received them today Wednesday. Excellent price with free shipping. Box was beat up but everything I have ever received from Curt has been. Parts are heavy and burly. Everything purchased was included, no damage. I will use etrailer in the future. I am pleased.
by: Don H.09/29/2016
I had a base that I bought from the ram catalog at my dealership. Don't do it. It is heavy and cumbersome and hard to handle. The folks at etrailer helped me locate a better and easier to handle base for the fifth wheel head I had from Curt. I ordered and they shipped it from stock and I received it in less then 48 hours from ordering. The etrailer people are really great to work with.I feel like I have found the right combination for supply to us for our trailer and towing needs. We have an Open Range 5th wheel and etrailer has provided all we missed to make it a great towing experience. Thank you all for your assistance.... and follow-up.
by: James05/04/2019
Product was easy to assemble. Purchased it after trading in my old truck and needed a factory prep frame for the new vehicle. My Curt 16k hitch head that I was using with a universal sliding mount fit perfectly.
by: paul06/12/2017
I have shopped with etrailer previously and this last order was as good as the first. Product was delivered ahead of time of scheduled delivery. The legs that I ordered for my fifth wheel hitch fit perfectly I am very pleased with service and products.

Product arrived quickly and was very easy to install into my 2018 Ram 3500 with the 5th wheel package. Instructions were well written and I was able to use my existing Curt Q16 head.
by: Raymond07/06/2020
This was my first time ordering RV-related parts from etrailer. Noah E, my contact via phone, was very knowledgeable in assisting me to order the right item. I'm very pleased with etrailer and I'd return to this company for future needs for my RV.
by: Dan A10/02/2019
I ordered this base so I could convert my slider. I arrived in a very short time I had it put together and adjusted to my camper. Needless to say I am very pleased.
by: Stan 08/30/2017

- Compatibility Of Curt OEM 5th Wheel Hitch Legs For A 2021 Ram 3500 Long BedYes, the Curt OEM 5th Wheel Hitch Legs for Ram Towing Prep Package # C16021 will work for your 2021 Ram 3500 since the OEM Ram 5th wheel hitch is the Curt Q20 rebranded. This will not however, increase the capacity of your hitch as you are limited to your lowest rated component. Alternatively, we do offer the Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package # C16545-16021 which is rated for 24,000lbs and is a direct fit for your 2021 Ram 3500 long bed.
view full answer... - Will Curt Fifth Wheel Legs for Dodge OEM Prep Pkg Clear Bed Mounted Fuel TankI think the legs will fit just fine. To fully open the locking arms, they're turned 90 degrees from their locked position, which does NOT have them pointing directly to the front which would place them close to the fuel tank. Since the locking arms measure about 7-1/4 inches from the center of the bolt to the end, and they wont extend fully forward, I'm confident that the location of your fuel tank won't interfere with the locking arms. You will be able to install and remove the legs with...

view full answer... - What Size Cotter Pins Are Used With the Curt 5th Wheel Hitches for OE Towing Prep PackageI spoke with Curt and they said the cotter pins that come with the Curt 5th Wheel Hitches for OE Towing Prep Package are .125" diameter. I was not able to obtain the length but so long as they are long enough to pass through both sides of the nut you'll be fine.
view full answer... - Will Curt 5th Wheel Slider Base Fit Long Bed Ram with OEM Prep PackageThe Ram OEM Prep Package has not changed so the direct-fit fifth wheel hitch bases are cross-compatible from year to year. That said, the slider bases are heavy and limit weight capacity so it would be worthwhile to switch to a fixed base now that you have a long bed. I recommend the Curt OEM 5th Wheel Hitch Legs for Ram Towing Prep Package part # C16021.

However, the Curt OEM 5th Wheel Hitch Legs for Ram Towing Prep Package part # C16021 that the above hitch uses is compatible with the Head Unit for Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16540 which is compatible with rotating pin boxes like the Lippert Turning Point.

The Rail Adapter # RP30154 that you would use to mount in to the puck system on your 2018 Ram 2500 sits about 2" tall so that means your height range will increase to 15"-19". If you were to instead use the Curt OEM 5th Wheel Hitch Legs # C16021 this gives you the Curt Q20 # C16530-16021 which has a height range of 14"-18". I personally recommend going with the new legs for the Q20 as it eliminates...

You will be happy to know that you can utilize your Curt A16 Slider # C16521 with the puck system on your 2022 Ram 2500. All you need is the Adapter # C16022, which fits the long and short beds, to accomplish this.

- How to Fit Curt A16 5th Wheel Hitch to 2017 Ram 2500 Puck SystemI have a few different options for you to use a Curt A16 5th wheel hitch with your 2017 Ram 2500 puck system, but the Adapter Rails # C16022 are only designed to work with Curt sliding 5th wheel hitches so it won't be compatible with the fixed A16 # C16120 you referenced.
