Video Transcript for Curt Fifth Wheel Installation Kit C16400 Review
Today, we're going to take a look at the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Bracket Kit, for the Chevy and GMC trucks. This is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 2007 and newer Chevrolet Silverado, and GMC Sierra 1500 series trucks, with either the six and a half foot bed, or the eight foot bed. On a custom fit part I always like to recommend to go to our website, use our fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle, and it'll show you if this part will work for your application. These custom brackets will mount beneath your truck bed. They do provide the attachment points for 5th wheel base rails, which we do sell separately on our website. It does require Curt base rails.
They come in either part number C16104 or C16204. These brackets will provide a custom fit by mounting to existing holes in your vehicle's frame. This will help eliminate the need for any drilling, and it'll cut your instillation time in half, when compared with the universal bracket kits. This part includes everything shown here. The two mounting brackets, one for each side, all the mounting hardware, and a nice set of detailed instructions that describe how to install this on your vehicle. When this part is used with the Curt base rails, it is compatible with BMW, Curt, Demco, Draw Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, Reese, and Valley 5th wheel hitches.
That should do it for the review on the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Bracket Kit, for the Chevy/GMC trucks.

- Curt Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit Recommendation for 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500 Short BedThe correct Curt fifth wheel rail kit for your 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500 6-1/2 foot bed is the part # C16400-204 which means the correct bracket kit is the part # C16400 and not the 16411 you mentioned.

This is a great option as it is custom fit for your truck so it minimizes drilling, and reduces the installation time by 50% compared to universal brackets.

The Curt # C16418 brackets you had looked at are meant for a 2007-2010 Chevy 2500 or 3500 truck, and wouldn't work with your 2017 Silverado 1500. For the brackets only, for your truck you'd need # C16400 which provides the frame brackets and the mounting hardware for the frame brackets or for the complete kit that also provides the bed rails and the hardware to attach the rails to the frame brackets, you'd need part # C16400-204

- Parts Needed To Tow a 5th Wheel Trailer With a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500There are many variables that determine the towing capacity for any particular vehicle; engine size, gear ratio, drive type etc. If you look on page 9-91 of your owner's manual you will see the listed towing capacity based on these variables. I cannot recommend you exceed the towing capacity of your vehicle but I would think you will be alright only moving the trailer a few short blocks. In order to tow a 5th wheel trailer with your 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, I recommend the Curt A16...

As long as the 5th wheel trailer you're considering remains under this weight once it's fully loaded it looks like you will be good to go. I do still recommend verifying this capacity by taking a look at your owner's manual or even visiting/calling a local Chevy dealer with your VIN.
