Video Transcript for Curt Fifth Wheel Installation Kit C16104 Review
Today we're going to take a look at the Curt universal fifth wheel base rails with the gloss finish. These base rails will install in your truck bed to provide the necessary attachment points for your fifth wheel trailer hitch. These rails are a sturdy steel construction, has a nice high gloss black powder coat finish on it to help resist corrosion. They're also cold cured in a rust resistant liquid Bonderite coating. These are compatible with above bed fifth wheel hitches from Curt, Drawtite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, Reese, and Valley. They are also designed to work with goose neck adapters.
This part will include the two base rails. It does require a custom installation kit with the mounting brackets and hardware to install this on your vehicle. We do sell that separately on our website. What I would recommend for that is you need to go to our website, use our fit guide. Put in your year, make, and model vehicle and it'll show you what custom installation kit is required to put these rails on your vehicle. Total length on these rails is 43 inches long.
That should do it for the review on the Curt universal fifth wheel base rails in the high gloss finish.

When used with Curt's custom brackets, these rails will cut in half the time it takes to install your fifth wheel trailer hitch. They also function as replacement rails for your existing towing system.by: Lance04/12/2022
After placing the order for the universal rails I received a call from a rep suggesting I purchase the custom fit for my Ram 3500 which I did. The directions were straight forward and the install was too bad. I was concerned that a couple of the bolts came down in a location where torquing the nuts was not possible. I have checked several times and they are still very tight. I recommend these as they work great with my hitch.

etrailer had the best prices and the best availability I could find! Not to mention the customer service, Stacey went WAY above and beyond and worked very hard finding and getting us what we needed in a timely manner! She was very knowledgeable and helpful making sure I got what I needed! I can’t thank etrailers and Stacey enough!!

Super quick shipping. It arrived a day ahead of schedule.

EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED AND DISAPPOINTED to say the least I placed the order online and it was a week late then the time it was supposed to be delivered that in itself was frustrating I need to deliver a fifth wheel trailer to a customer so that caused a delay but times are tuff so things happen I let the customer know so I waited finally received the package and it was taped at all corners once I opened it the hardware bag was opened and missing 3 pieces which keep me from installing the hitch brackets reached out and talk to a customer rep to get the missing parts shipped she said it would be expedited I just noticed that the parts won’t make it in till literally a whole week after my call to them about missing parts that my friends is not expediting! The customer is rightfully upset. I would have paid for them to express mail the parts even if it was their responsibility in order for me to provide good customer service on my end. Now I need to hire someone else to deliver the trailer. I’m very disappointed on how etrailer handled this turning this purchase into a regretful one.

Great product - everything needed in the box. As previous reviews state, not too bad installing except the front driver side near the gas tank was an absolute nightmare. Hitch fit perfectly in the rails after install. Can't beat etrailer's support and guidance such as the video to help with install.

Description was correct.. fitment worked great

I paid for two day shipping and I received the product on the third day. It looks like a great product it will not fit my hitch.
by: Rebekah07/30/2020
We have not had our tails installed yet, however I was extremely impressed with how fast the product shipped. Personally I feel that company’s are using covid as an excuse for poor customer service. NOT ETRAILER. Will def be ordering from them again in the future.
by: MikeW11/29/2016
Nice Rails for my new truck. The powder coating was very nice looking and appears durable. The customer service at Etrailer is superior!

See what our Experts say about this CURT Accessories and Parts
- Measurement of Curt Fifth Wheel Base RailsI went to the warehouse to take some measurements of the Curt # C16104 base rails and found that they are 43" long and roughly 5-5/8" wide. I have added a photo showing some of the dimensions of the mounting holes for you as well. Center to center, the closest holes are roughly 10" apart, the second set of mounting holes is 20-1/2" while the third set is 29" apart. I have also added a link to a video review of these rails for you to take a look at.

- Will the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit C16442-204 Fit Base Rails C16104The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit, # C16442-204 is designed to fit a 2015 and newer Ford F-150. This will match the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails, # C16104.
view full answer... - Could Curt Above Bed Rails Work with Pullrite HitchIt depends on which version of the Superglide fifth wheel hitch you have. If it's an ISR version that means it works with industry standard rails like the part # C16104 that you referenced. If its the version that only attaches to the Pullrite rails we wouldn't be able to help.
view full answer... - Overall Height of Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Rails C16104Industry standard fifth wheel rails like the # C16104 sit 1.15 inches above the bed they are installed in from top to bottom.
view full answer... - What is Difference Between Curt Fifth Wheel Rails C16104 and C16204The difference between the two Curt rail kits is the finish only. The # C16104 has a gloss finish and the # C16204 has a matte finish. So it really comes down to which look you'd prefer.
view full answer... - Does Curt Bracket Kit C16411 Come with Hardware to Attach to Fifth Wheel RailsThe only way we can recommend the part # C16411 for your 2016 Chevy Silverado 3500 is if the rails you currently have are made by Curt. We can't recommend mixing rail and bracket manufacturers. The brackets are 3/8 inch thick and all of the needed hardware is included including the hardware that attaches the brackets to the rails. If you do need Curt rails you would also want the part # C16104.

view full answer... - Are Hitch Pins Needed with Curt Fifth Wheel RailsThe hitch you have should have came with pins to secure it to the rails part # C16104. For example the Curt Q20 part # C16130 comes with the pins in the picture I attached. If you are missing pins what hitch do you have?

- Will the Curt Custom No-Drill Fifth Wheel Bracket # C16420 Fit My 2014 Ram 1500?Yes, the Curt Custom, No-Drill Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16420 will fit your 2014 Ram 1500 quad cab (6-ft bed) and bolt right onto the frame. However, whenever you install the compatible rails # C16104, it will require some drilling through the bed.
view full answer... - 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation Kit for 2014 Ram 2500 and SuperGlide ISR HitchFor your 2014 Ram 2500 you can use Curt installation kit # C16427-204. This is a custom installation kit which means you will not have to drill in to the truck frame to install the underbed brackets. This means that the kit will install faster and easier than semi-custom or universal kits. Since you are going to get the SuperGlide hitch that fits industry standard rails (ISR) (I believe it is the 2700 model) then it will fit these rails!

Please keep in mind this bracket kit will require base rails # C16104 (Gloss Black Finish) or # C16204 (Carbide Black Finish). The bracket kit includes all the hardware you'll need to install them and I have also attached a link to the instructions and a video of the kit being installed on a similar year...
view full answer... - Curt 5th Wheel Bracket Kit Fit on 2018 Ram 2500 Short BedThe C16426 bracket kit you referenced is not the correct kit for a 2018 Ram 2500 with a short bed; instead, what you need is the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Bracket Kit for Ram Truck # C16427.

I do not recommend mixing manufacturers for rails and brackets as there could be any number of compatibility problems. The Curt base rails are compatible...
view full answer... - Does Curt Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit C16427 Fit Rails of Universal Kit C16100Yes, the bracket kit part # C16427 that you referenced will work with the same rails that come with the Curt universal rail kit part # C16100 that you mentioned as well. Another option would be to just order the rails by themselves with part # C16104.

view full answer... - What Brackets and Rails Are Needed to Install an RBW Lil Rocker Fifth Wheel in a 2007 Ram 3500Custom fit brackets do work better in a sense. The installation time is reduced dramatically because custom fit brackets uses as many factory holes as possible so most of the time you do not have to drill any new holes in the truck frame. Part # C16419 will not fit your Ram 3500, those brackets are meant for Ram 1500. For your 2007 Ram 3500 w/ Overload, you would use Curt part # C16420.
