You camp to relax. Now, you can relax behind the wheel too. This 5th-wheel hitch delivers a smooth ride and a reliable connection, with a color-coded indicator that shows you're locked in so you can focus on the trip, not the hitch.
This hitch is built from heavy-duty steel and rated for 25,000 lbs GTW, giving you the muscle to handle even the biggest, fully loaded 5th-wheel campers with confidence. And it gives you room to grow if you move to a larger 5th wheel down the line. Plus, the protective powder coat helps resist rust and wear over time, so you can rely on it season after season. This sturdy construction provides a strong base to a hitching system that feels just as solid when you back in and hitch up.
Slide-bar and single-jaw hitches are known for leaving too much room around the king pin. That looseness leads to noise, slop, and an unsettling feel on the road. This dual-jaw system wraps tightly around the king pin from all sides to create a stable connection that feels locked in as soon as you hitch up. It holds firm to reduce noise and cut down on movement. You'll notice the difference the first time you tow.
Before you pull away, a quick glance at the color-coded indicator shows you exactly what the jaws are doing: red means uncoupled, yellow means ready to couple, and green means you're locked in for towing.
There's no need to climb into the bed to check the connection since you can easily see the color at a glance. If you've ever thought the jaws were locked only to find out they weren't, you know how bad things can get. This system keeps that from happening.
You'll feel the change as soon as you're moving. The hitch head pivots smoothly on a spherical axial bearing, allowing full 360-degree movement. As the head moves, rubber bushings help absorb shock and reduce the jerking motion that leads to chucking. It's not just about softening the impact of rough roads. It's about helping you stay more comfortable behind the wheel by reducing the constant shifting and jolts that wear you down over time. From campground runs to multi-state road trips, the ride feels more stable, more responsive, and less like a fight with every bump.
When the trip is over and you need your truck bed back, the hitch breaks down in two steps without tools. Just pull the first set of pins to lift off the head, then a second set to remove the base. This separates the hitch into manageable pieces and makes it easier to handle on your own. The parts are still relatively heavy, but this design takes some of the strain out of the process. It's a solid solution for anyone switching between trip mode and work mode where being able to clear your bed matters.
This hitch ships as a complete package with the head, legs, custom-fit brackets, base rails, and all necessary hardware. The brackets are designed specifically for your vehicle and line up with existing holes in the truck's frame, making installation faster and more straightforward. Then, the above-bed rails mount to the frame and provide a strong, standardized platform for the hitch to lock into. You've got everything you need to get it installed right the first time, whether you're doing it yourself or taking it to a shop.
Note: This fifth-wheel trailer hitch is not compatible with rotating pin boxes, such as the Reese Sidewinder, Reese Revolution, and 5th Airborne Sidewinder.

Hello everybody, this is Jeff for etrailer.com. Today we take a look at the Curt custom fifth wheel bracket kit for your Ford F-150 trucks. Now this is a custom fit kit, this is designed to fit the 2015 and newer Ford F150 trucks and on a custom fit part like this, I do recommend for you to go to our website, use the fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle and it'll show if this'll work for your application. Now, these brackets will Mount beneath your truck bed and they provide the attachment points for your fifth wheel rails. The rails is what allow you to attach the fifth wheel to the vehicle. This does require the Curt base rails, part number C16104 or part number C16204.
Both of those items, we do sell separately on our website. I happened to pull one of those parts and this happens to be one of the rails. The rails you'll buy, they come in a set of two, but basically these rails, is what will attach to these brackets. So once these brackets are installed under the bed and then inside the bed of your rails will be installed, and it has the slots for your fifth wheel to fit into. But again, we sell those separately on our website.
So these brackets here provide a nice custom fit by mounting to existing holes in your vehicles frame. This will help minimize the amount of drilling that's required and it cuts the installation time in half when compared with just a universal bracket kit, and this kit will include everything laid out here on the table. It's all the necessary hardware you need, all the brackets you need and even up front here, it comes with this galvanic isolator kit. And what that is, is on vehicles that have an aluminum bed like the Ford F-150. It is required that all steel components be isolated from the aluminum by using this galvanic isolator kit.
And in the instructions it does show you where to install that. This is designed to work with Curt Draw-Tite Reese and Husky fifth wheel hitches, but that should do it for the review on this Curt custom fifth wheel bracket kit for the Ford F-150 trucks..
