Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs
This is a very basic hitch. Very simple to install and use. However, with the head not being fully articulating, its a very noisy hitch. Plenty of rattle, clank and chucking. The chucking can be a bit alarming. It worked well enough for our small 22' 5er but since stepping up to a 34' trailer and 12,000#, I decided to upgrade to a B&W Patriot. If you're on a tight budget and have smaller lighter trailer, this will get the job done but Id have gone with a better jaw type hitch over the slide bar had I known better at first. The custom install kit for my 2013 Silverado 3500 long bed was amazing in fit. You need to be a little handy to install it but its well worth the extra few $$. The installation instructions are adequate but could be a little clearer.
installed hitch in a 2008 chevy 2500hd. other then having to take out the rear inter liners hitch installed great. just follow the directions. would recommend etrailer.com and curt hitches to anyone looking. thanks jim

Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Rails and Universal Installation Kit - Slide Bar Jaw - 16K
The product was as stated, but what made this experience different was the very rapid delivery of the parts and great communication. If you need anything for your truck or trailer call etrailer or go to etrailer.com for fast friendly service.
The instructions could be better but I didn't have to look for support. It took a few hours to drill and measure, bolting the hitch together and in took about 45 minutes. I got the hitch Friday morning and installed Friday afternoon, picked up my RV on Saturday. I couldn't be happier with the product. I was hearing horror stories from friends about the cost of hitches, the C16 was very affordable, installed easily and I wouldn't hesitate to order another hitch from etrailer if I need another one.
What our customers are saying:
"Very broad selection and outstanding service."
