• Fitment of Curt Base Rail Kit and PullRite SuperGlide on a 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500
  The Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails # C16204 will fit with your PullRite 2700 sliding 5th wheel hitch but we don't recommend crossing brands when it comes to installing a base rail kit and the mounting brackets. This is due to them not being made together so there could be some slight differences plus they haven't been tested together so you will basically be using a system with a unknown weight rating. I recommend going with the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16429-204...

• Locating 5th Wheel Frame Brackets for 2008 Chevy Silverado 2500
  It is always best to select frame brackets from the same manufacturer as the base rails for your fifth wheel trailer hitch. When mixing manufacturers with these two components, it is possible that the brackets will not line up correctly with the rails, as there can be differences even within parts for the same truck model. If you are able to tell me the manufacturer or model of the base rails you have, I will be happy to recommend frame brackets that are confirmed to work. For example,...

• Loose Connection Between Curt A20 Hitch and Curt Base Rails
  Since you mentioned the cotter pins which are used to secure the feet inside the rails, that makes me that you are referring to the connection point between the rail and foot on one of the four corners of the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16140. If that is the case then you will want to inspect the hole on the foot, the hole inside the rail, and the pin that connects these together. If these holes have become misshapen then this could very well cause the loose connection that...

• Installing Curt 5th Wheel Bracket Kit in 2019 Ram 1500 for Lil Rocker 15k 5th Wheel Hitch
  We haven't had the chance to install the # C16307 brackets on a 2019 Ram as of yet so unfortunately we don't have a video. I have linked the installation details for you though. The brackets need Curt rails to attach to becuase the bolt holes won't normally line up with the rails for your Lil Rocker. Especially since there's a good chance your rails are 4-bolt and these are 10-bolt. The rails you need to fit with the Curt brackets are part # C16204. You also need the hardware # C16111. The...

  The B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2500 can be split up between the brackets and the rails.

• Will 5th Wheel Mounting Bracket from 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 Fit 2020 Silverado 2500
  The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit # C16400 you currently have is for older models and for a 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500HD you're going to need the bracket kit # C16429 instead. If you'd like to keep your current base rails # C16204 you can but we do recommend using new hardware # C16111 as hitch hardware is only designed to be torqued down once. If you'd rather just get a whole new set then you need the Custom Kit # C16429-204 for your new pickup.

• Are Curt Custom 5th Wheel Brackets Compatible with RBW Rails
  While you don't necessarily have to use RBW brand 5th wheel rails to attach your Lil Rocker hitch to your bed, both the rails and brackets must come from the same manufacturer. Some of the feedback we've received over the years suggests there can be small design differences that can cause the rails and brackets to not line up or fit perfectly together. Also, using matching rails and brackets will maintain the manufacturer's warranty on both products which would otherwise be voided. If...

• Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Rails Only for a 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500 Short Bed
  Generally speaking if you have a short bed truck, like your 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500 with 6-1/2 foot bed, then you would need to use a slider hitch and not a fixed hitch. That is unless the trailer is very narrow or it has a tapered front cap that was designed to be towed by a short bed truck. Otherwise the trailer could make contact with the truck cab when making tight turns. If you already have frame brackets that you want to use then you would need to get the hitch and rails separate...

• Fifth Wheel Mounting Brackets for 2016 Toyota Tundra
  Mounting brackets for your 2016 Toyota Tundra are available by themselves, though the correct fit will depend on the rails you have, as well as your bed size.

  I do have an option for you but they do not offer a truly custom fit 5th wheel install kit for a 1997 Ford F-250 Heavy Duty. I recommend you use the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails with Installation Kit part # C16100 instead.

That said, you cannot mix base rail and frame bracket manufactures...
