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.
Non-Binding S20 Slider
Specially designed for trucks with 6' to 8' beds, this non-binding slider helps to eliminate clearance problems during slow-speed turns. When you are towing a fifth-wheel trailer, your hitch must be situated on the cab side of your truck's rear axle. However, at slow speeds you can use a slider to slide the fifth-wheel hitch (and the trailer) toward your truck's tailgate and past the rear axle, creating enough space between the cab of your truck and the trailer to permit less-restricted turning.

Arrived in three boxes. The largest looked as though Ace Ventura was the delivery man. However all the parts were inside. Took me two full hours to assemble, install, inspect and adjust. Clearly a formidable hitch for my '19 Silverado HD with PUCK system. Thankfully I have a pulley system in the garage to install/remove the entire hitch in one piece. The weight on this hitch is no joke. If you take the hitch out during non-use a pulley or hoist of some sort is a must. This is replacing a Husky which had a slightly different locking system but the Curt is rock solid and will be a great hitch for years to come. Excellent price, assembly was a challenge but the instructions were very good. One problem: the included (4) rubber shims were too thick preventing me from inserting any of the rail pins between the rail and PUCK adapter. So I didn't use them.

First of all, etrailer was awesome to work with while I tried to determine what hitch I wanted, they get 5 starts. As for the hitch, installation was easy and while I feel the hitch works just fine, I would prefer one with "jaws" that lock. I would feel better if it did. That being said, I ordered this hitch simply because it was the lowest one I could find and after using it on several trip, it gets the job done. It can be locked and it easily opens and closes.
by: Stephen12/05/2019
Product arrived as promised. The Curt C16515 was an easy assembly and easier install. I had to remove some bed liner to allow the base plate to allow the base plate to fully engage the OEM gooseneck fittings. I think this is a great product and will fit my needs to haul my 5th wheel.
by: Dustin03/30/2018
Great customer service
I ordered online on Sunday night and hitch was delivered on time Friday afternoon.
It took me 30 min to assemble. No adjustment needed
Only problem was the handle did not slip on. It looks like a large burr was left inside the handle preventing it from sliding all the way on. Extremely frustrating. After drilling and filing on the burr, I gave up and drilled a new hole in the handle so I could put the bolt threw... after etrailer sends me a new handle I’ll change my rating to 5stars
by: Michael06/29/2021
Excellent service and help. My hitch came much quicker than expected especially in these times. Every thing worked out, I have a new 2021 Chev 2500hd and wanted to stick with a fixed hitch. Heigth clearance was an issue, but I was able to lower the 5th wheel pin box enough to compensate.

I received excellent professional service and experience
Thank you for your time.

I received my hitch in the 3 days promised, myself and my wife put it together in about an hour. It went in our ram with no adjustments needed. We picked up our new 5th the same day we put the new hitch in our truck, works great and was easy to install, a little heavy but putting it in legs 1st then the hitch head was the way to go as instructed.
by: sean04/10/2021
Poor, and disappointing. Hitch is not even close to tall enough for most any camper. Can’t even get a finger between the bed and camper. Description is not accurate. Be weary. etrailer is also charging me to return for a taller hitch. Looks like I’ll be purchasing somewhere else unless they can make it right somehow.
by: Bryan03/30/2018
Lightning fast delivery from etrailer.com! The hitch was very easy to install, works perfectly with my Ram factory tow prep package. Thanks etrailer!

Good delivery
by: Gary12/01/2022
You have to finesse the little lever in the channel where the trail puck goes into. Sometimes I even have to get up in the bed to position it before I hook up. The spring even cam loose once. Not engineered too well. Other than that it seems fine.
by: Jeneane07/05/2019
Super easy to install in our new truck. We used the same hitch in our old truck and pulls our 38' 5th wheel with ease
by: Gordon 03/28/2021
I have had my fifth wheel trailer since 2004 and have gone through 3 trucks and 3 different hitches.
This hitch went into a 2019 Chevy Silverado and fit like a glove. Very easy to install. Very easy to hitch to fifth wheel. I am very pleased with my purchase. It is heavy to lift and move around but once installed it is a beast. If for some reason i need to buy another hitch this would be the one i would buy.
by: William B05/21/2015
We just recently took our first trip with our new Ford 250 and the Curt E16 5th Wheel Hitch and had a wonderful time. It hooks up easy and was easy to install in the factory installed 5th wheel hookup in the bed of the pickup. I am including a few pictures of the hitch and hookup.
by: Not A Fan05/21/2020
There isn't enough "play" to be able to install and remove the base. It might as well be bolted to the frame. The kingpin jams in the hitch and is difficult to unlock. I really dislike this hitch, but it gets my trailer from point A to point B, so that is worth the second star.
by: Brandon10/23/2021
Bolt coming out on roller wheel, rusts very quick, and locking arms don’t pull that well or easy from outside of the bed
by: David01/21/2018
Doesn't operate as easily as I hoped. Sticks when trying to slide which means jumping in and out of cab many times. Also its heavy as it should be,but it doesn't come apart easily for removal in two pieces that can be lifted separately. You need a winch to remove it safely. Its a pain in the you know what. I like my old two piece hitch better. I could take it in and out in a few minutes, but it won't work in my new f350.
by: Pat M.05/14/2015
Hitch set up and instructions easy to follow if you're even a little mechanically inclined. Only major tool needed is a torque wrench to secure bolts. Fit was good, minor adjustment needed after assembly but otherwise a good looking product at a good price with a prompt delivery.

The fifth wheel hitch worked great. We up graded to the Curt 24 due to getting a bigger 5th whell
by: Timothy03/26/2019
Checked around the local truck shops in my area and everybody was between 1200 and 1900 for hitches and then installation. Nobody wanted to install one in my factory package, everybody wanted to drill more holes. One call to retailer and I had a factory correct installment fifth wheel hitch for a third the price of the local guys. Awesome product and easy installation.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Fifth Wheel Hitch
- Fifth Wheel Hitch and Rail Kit Recommendation for a 2012 Ram 1500You would be barely under the towing capacity but technically yes, if your 2012 Ram 1500 has a 10,250 towing capacity and the trailer you are looking at weighs 10,244 lbs you would be good to go. However, you need to consider the fact that when you are towing this trailer you only will have about 6 lbs worth of capacity left over for cargo. Realistically that's probably not going to be enough so a lighter trailer would be a better choice. The part # RP30081 that you referenced would be...

view full answer... - Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch to Replace Older HitchThat hitch head won't work on the old Reese hitch you have, so you can still upgrade your sliding 5th wheel hitch, but it will need to be a new hitch. The best option for that is the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider # C95DR.
view full answer... - 5th Wheel Towing Capacity and Recommendations for 2017 Ford F-150 with 3.5L V6 EngineBased on the online specs I was able to pull up for the 2017 Ford F-150 it looks like your 4x2 SuperCrew model with the 3.5L GTDI V6 engine and 3.55 axle ratio can pull a 5th wheel trailer that weighs as much as 8,700 pounds at base or up to 10,400 if you have the max trailer tow package. Since you don't think you have this package you are looking at a 5th wheel towing capacity of 8,700 pounds. Since there are so many variables (as you have seen) I also recommend visiting a local Ford...
view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Hitch & Rail Kit Recommendation for a 2014 GMC 2500 Denali Short BedAbsolutely, the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider # C95DR that you referenced would be an excellent choice for a slider hitch. The Reese rail kit part # RP50066-58 that you referenced would also be an excellent choice for a rail kit. This is a custom install kit that will install in about half the time as a universal kit and will minimize drilling.
view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for a 2015 GMC Sierra Denali 3500 Crew Cab with 6-1/2 foot bedI checked with Reese and you are correct, the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Outboard Installation Kit # RP56001-53 that you referenced is the correct install kit for your 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 with a 6-1/2 foot bed. Since you have a short bed truck you will need a slider hitch, for that I recommend the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider # C95DR.
view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2015 Ram 1500 with Air SuspensionAt one point there wasn't a fifth wheel rail kit that fit the 2015 Ram 1500 trucks with air suspension but that has recently changed and the part # RP50142-58 will fit all models of the truck. If you have a 6-1/2 foot bed you'd need a slider hitch like part # C95DR, if you have a long bed you'd want a stationary hitch part # RP30047.
view full answer... - Can Curt E16 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider go From Chevy to 2019 Ram 2500It sounds like you just want to transfer your Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider # C95DR from your Chevy to your 2019 Ram 2500, which you can do. All you need to do in order use this hitch in your 2019 Ram 2500 is get an install kit and base rails that fit the Ram. For that, the best option is a custom installation kit that does not require any drilling into your truck's frame, the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit with Base Rails # RP56009-53.

The custom brackets will use existing holes in the truck's frame rails so you don't have to drill into them during installation. If you don't have a 5th wheel hitch already I highly recommend the Reese M5 # RP30928 if you have the 8 foot bed or slider # C95DR if you have the short bed. The Reese fixed fifth wheel hitch has...
view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Slider Hitch Recommendation for 2002 Ford F-150 Short BedReese does not offer their Elite style of under-bed rails for your 2002 Ford F-150 so you wouldn't be able use the Elite slider hitch you mentioned in your truck. You'd need to use an above-bed style of slider hitch like the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider # C95DR. So for a rail kit to fit your truck you'd then want the Curt rail kit part # C16437-204 which is a custom fit for your truck and will also fit your rail kit.
view full answer... - What Base Rails do you Recommend for my 2019 Ram 1500As of April 2020 you are correct we do not have an install kit available from Curt. The Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails part # RP56018-53 is a great solution in place of the Curt it has the exact same spacing on the connection points and will work with most all fifth wheel hitches. If you already have a fifth wheel compatible with your camper perfect. If not the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider # C95DR offers the sliding capability you will...

For rails that are confirmed to fit your 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 with 6-3/4' bed I recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16429-204. From there, you can install the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider # C95DR.
view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Rail Kit and Sliding Hitch Recommendation for a 2014 Ram 1500 Short BedThere is a rail kit available that will work on your 2014 Ram 1500 without air suspension. Check out the Curt Fifth Wheel Installation kit part # C16306-204. This rail kit is compatible with Curt fifth wheel hitches. For a 16k slider hitch I like the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider # C95DR. The jaws of this hitch provide 360 degree contact with the king pin to minimize jarring and chucking.

These brackets are a custom fit for your F-150 which means no drilling into the frame is required. I have attached an install video for you on this very same kit. If you don't already have a 5th wheel hitch then I recommend taking a look at the Curt E16 5th Wheel...

However, I'd recommend the Curt A16 hitch, part # C16521 over what Reese offers. Unlike the Reese hitch, the Curt A16 offers a torsion articulating system for the hitch head which helps isolate the tow vehicle from road shock and noise. The interlocking hitch jaws hold the king pin much more tightly around its circumference...

There are only outboard kits (long rails) from Reese for this truck but this makes for an easier installation. If you don't already have a fifth wheel hitch picked out, I recommend the Curt 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Slider part # C95DR. I also recommend the Bargman 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness for Aluminum Truck Bed part # 54701-003-010.

If you are looking for a fifth wheel hitch also I recommend the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider # C95DR.

This will give you the no drill brackets for the frame of your truck as well as the 10 bolt rails that will be compatible with the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider # C95DR. You may also be interested in the Bargman wiring harness # 50-97-410 to give you a second 7-way in the bed of your truck for more convenient access and a clean look.

Adapters with offset do not change the pivot point so they will not give you more turning clearance. If you need a sliding 5th wheel hitch for your existing base rails you can use the # C95DR for a cost-effective option.

view full answer... - What Should be the Distance Between Reese Base Rails and Rear of Box on 2014 Ford F-150 ?The Reese Base Rails and Installation Kit # RP30035-426 does not have a length it needs to be from the the cab to the edge of the base rails. Instead, as per the linked instructions, there needs to be 29-5/16" inches from the rear edge of your 2014 F-150's truck bed to the rear edge of the base rail. This will allow you to mount your Curt Sliding Fifth Wheel such as # C95DR, which is a sliding fifth wheel and what you would need if your F-150 had a bed that was less than 8 feet.

- Recommended Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch With a 14" Height Adjustment Unfortunately not, Chuck. It looks like the Reese Square Tube Slider for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30048 will only adjust down to 15" so it's going to be a tick out of reach. It looks like to get what you're after you're going to need to swap your hitch out with something like the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider # C95DR which has an adjustment range of 14" to 17" so you'd be right where you need to be height wise.

This custom fit kit will bolt right up to your 2022 Ram 2500, and allow you to use the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider # C95DR. Additionally, since you do not have an in-bed 7-way I highly recommend adding one # 50-97-410. This makes things much easier when it comes to plugging and unplugging your trailer, and keeps your truck looking neat.
