Simple, Secure Hookup
With a dual-pivoting head that offers 10 degrees of lateral movement, the E16 fifth-wheel hitch makes hookup a snap, even on unlevel ground. Once the king pin slides into the hitch, the auto-locking, slide-bar jaw secures it in place. A unique feature of the E16 is the rear steel tension bar within the jaw that activates upon hookup to clamp down on the king pin, providing a tighter grip that maximizes security and minimizes rattle.

Terrible.
Was told shipping was delayed because they were unable to find my fifth wheel hitch in their warehouse. The the hitch arrived box all torn up, missing the mounting hardware (universal installation kit...HA!) and missing key pieces and instructions.
Customer service tells me they're taking the day off do they'll look into it when they get back.
No help. No service. No usable merchandise.
NO SALE WAITING ON REFUND!

It is the perfect 5th wheel hitch. And great price to match.
by: Melissa11/02/2023
Customer service is top notch! Our slide rails didn't come with the nuts and bolts needed for install. The next day after our call to customer service the parts that were missing were on our doorstep!
by: Levi05/03/2020
It’s my first time installing a fifth wheel hitch. Install wasn’t bad took a little longer than I thought but turned out great. Had to buy a couple extra bolts but I figured I probably would ever trucks different and I used a universal rail kit. All and all I’m happy can’t wait to put it to use. Thanks for a great product
by: Alex09/15/2022
My experience was excellent with e trailer but bad with delivery. When the package finally arrived it looked like it was thrown off of a train and then the train ran it over. The package was obviously ripped to shreds and it looks like the track workers gathered all the parts and put it back in what was left of the cardboard box and then duck taped it enough to hold it together. It was missing all the bolts and hardware so I couldn’t even start to try and put it together. But e trailer agreed that there could be stress cracks under the powder coat of the hitch and it could not be trusted. I’m very glad they thought the same thing because if the hitch failed my kids in the backseat would be the first ones to be crushed. So I wrapped up the package with more duct tape as best I could and sent it back. E trailer paid for the return shipping and also sent me a brand new hitch which I think only took two days. Awesome company. The instructions supplied showed exactly how to install it. Very pleased with this product. Will definitely purchase from E trailer again. The only thing that I would tell the next person is to go and buy yourself some really really really good metal drill bits to drill through your frame of the truck. I destroyed all of my big drill bits to get through the frame, but it worked. My next purchase will be the gooseneck plate attachment so I can tow a gooseneck trailer if I ever come across one. Hopefully I can get it for Christmas lol
by: Shane05/03/2019
Received in 3 days. Good quality, easy to install. Instructions was good if you have common knowledge of what your doing. I would recommend etrailer to anyone who is looking for a hitch for their truck.

Very nice fifth wheel for the price works great with my little camper !!!!!

Shipment was fast, installation was easy, very affordable.
by: Matthew04/05/2022
Over all the product is great. Very simple to use. I went back and ordered the custom fit rails for my vehicle just so I wouldn’t have to drill any extra holes in the frame. The packaging of the products was great but there was some paint and scuff marks but nothing to bad.

That is common for hitches to get scrapes and scuffs on the paint during shipment. We do recommend covering up the scratches with paint in order to prevent corrosion. You can use a matt black universal black automotive paint to touch up the chips on the hitch and a gloss black to touch up the rails. I have also sent this over to our customer service team in order for them to better assist you.
by: Don10/21/2022
Good solid hitch for its weight rating. Everything fits together well. All necessary parts were included. I haven’t taken it out yet, but don’t expect any problems. The directions could maybe be a little more detailed in a “step- by- step” format for us beginners. My biggest headaches have been with my truck having stuff in the way. A lift would have been nice. I got by using a creeper for the underneath stuff. Can’t wait to try it out before snow flies.

This 5th wheel hitch has been very helpful to us and worth the money we paid for.

Lasted 3 tows had issues with it on the 1st tow should've know something was up with it my rv is brand new and only weighs 11k I replaced this 5th wheel with a better brand I recommend anyone seeing this to stay away
by: Vince06/10/2020
Good hitch and the installation kit worked great on my 97 Dodge. When I got my 2015 RAM I got the installation kit for that, it didn't work so great and I had to make modifications. The underside of my 2015 didn't look anything like the truck in the video. That's why only 4 stars.

Its all still working fine, however the spring that causes the latch to lock stretched out and came off. Fortunately I had tools with me to put it back on and its ok now.

Good is far, a little sloppy where the pin goes, but just the way its made.
by: E Etcheverry02/10/2017
I love my 5th Wheel Hitch, At first i was hesitant of it, i never pulled a 5th wheel before. This hitch is so heavy duty and has been a great tool for major situations where i thought the trailer may possibly disconnect in harsh roads. It has never let me down or has never disconnected. Very Good Hitch.
by: Sherree05/31/2016
As a first timer towing a 27' fifth wheel, I was really nervous. And it didn't help that the people who installed my hitch threw away the directions. Thankfully technology and YouTube came to the rescue with a video on EXACTLY how to hitch up. And once I figured out that the jaws have to be opened to accept the kingpin, I was well and truly set. The hitch worked like a dream and hooking up was easy. Yesterday, I did it all by myself using the rearview mirror. Thank you so much for a wonderful, easy to use product. I am no longer nervous about hitching, unhitching and towing.
Now if you have another product to help with the whole backing up thing.....
by: Larry 09/20/2022
Great fast service. I always buy from E Trailer.
by: Kf05/25/2020
The hitch is well made and easy to use. My trailer only weighs about 6000 pounds so this hitch is plenty strong for my purposes. I like how easy it is to remove the hitch head from the lower bracket. It makes removal of the hitch when not in use so much easier with two pieces that are light enough to easily carry around. I would absolutely recommend this hitch.
by: Jim B07/13/2016
Product came quickly in great condition. Installed as advertised and functions as it was described. Very happy with hitch, price and service.

It has continued to function properly and am well pleased with the product
by: Tim C10/07/2015
Went together and functions perfectly. I bought the fifth wheel, the rails, the trailer brake controller/ wiring and the trailer wiring harness all together. It got o me in 2 days! One of the few purchases I made that everything actually fit right out of the box and worked. I would recommend buying from etrailer.com to anyone who needs the right stuff fast. TC

This should put the center of the hitch jaws centered over the rear axle. You have installed the hitch correctly if you have followed the included instructions. Following an alternate installation method will void the warranty. Having the center of the hitch centered overall...

view full answer... - Will Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/Universal Install Kit Fit a 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500Yes! I checked with Curt and 5th wheel trailer hitch with universal installation kit # C16116 will fit your 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500. I have included a link to a video review of this product for you. I also recommend installing a 7-Way trailer connector in the bed of your Silverado using # 41157. This will make hooking up the trailer easier than plugging it into a 7-Way at the back of the truck or having to extend any of the wiring to reach.
view full answer... - Recommended Curt E16 Wedge Kit for a Curt Turning Point Pin BoxI'm not sure what kind of wedge you already have but if it looks like item # 30861 then you have the right wedge for the Curt E16 item # C16116. I have linked a review video below.
view full answer... - Will Curt Hitch with Universal Rails Fit 2017 Ram 2500 Short BedYes, the Curt E16 fifth wheel hitch and rail kit part # C16116 would fit your 2017 Ram 2500 with a short bed. Since you have a short bed truck though I'd recommend the slider hitch version of this kit part # C16616 so that you have turning clearance. Short bed trucks most of the time need a slider hitch to provide clearance between the cab of the truck and the nose of the trailer.

Along with the hitch, if you also need a 5th wheel wiring harness for your 2011 Ram 1500, the correct part is the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness # C56000. I have added a link below for you to check out as well of the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Rails and Universal Installation Kit # C16116.

However, since you have the short bed you will need to use a slider 5th wheel hitch in order to make tight turns without the trailer hitting the truck cab. The slider version that also comes with the installation kit is # C16616.
view full answer... - Does Curt 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Installation Kit # C16116 Require Spacers, 2011 Toyota TundraAccording to the Installation instructions (linked for reference) for the Curt E5 Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch with Rails and Universal Installation Kit, # C16116, for Toyota Tundra applications Spacer Kit, part # C16302, is required. You will need to stack one 3/16 inch and one 5/16 inch thick slotted spacer to avoid crushing the truck bed. Any of the installation kits, custom or universal, for your truck will include or require additional parts for the best fit.
view full answer... - Curt Fifth Wheel Hitch and Universal Rail Kit for 2016 Ram 2500 Short BedSince your 2016 Ram 2500 is a short bed you'd want a slider hitch instead of the fixed hitch that comes with the part number you referenced. This will give you the needed clearance to make tight turns without having the cab of the truck hit the nose of your trailer around corners. Curt has a a similar setup with part # C16616 that has a slider hitch instead of the fixed hitch. This is a fit for your truck though.

If the bed liner is a spray in there is nothing different when it comes to the install, but if you have a plastic bed liner you will need to trim it in the area where the rails sit so that they are touching metal. In addition to a 5th wheel hitch you may also be interested in the 5th wheel wiring harness...
view full answer... - Recommended Base Rail Lock for B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer HitchI suggest the Curt Base Rail Lock for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 1/2" Diameter Pin, # C23256. Simply replace one of the pins on your hitch with the 1/2" diameter lock. This is an extended steel pin with a powder coated aluminum housing that includes 2 keys. The usable length is 2-3/4".

It will work for your 1994 Chevy K2500 if you have an 8 foot bed or if you have a rotating pin box to give you turning clearance. If you have the 6-1/2 foot bed with a standard pin box, then I recommend using a sliding hitch like Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R16 Roller, Rails and Universal Installation Kit, part # 16516 and # C16200 which are a fit.
