Expert Answers about 5th Wheel Hitch Rails


  • Does the Curt Q20 5th Wheel Hitch item # C16130 Mount to Rails or a Puck System?
  • It is 5th wheel rail mounted. The Curt Q20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # C16130 has a base that attaches to in bed 5th wheel rails. If you are wanting to attach it to a Ram puck system you will need the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch - Dodge Ram Towing Prep Package item # C29BR. If you need a set of 5th wheel rails for a 2016 Ram 2500, I recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram Truck item # C16427-204.

  • 5th Wheel Hitch Will Not Line Up With Adapter for B&W Gooseneck
  • I do have an option for you but I am not sure that you have a B&W 5th Wheel Hitch as they only offer one mounting option for industry standard rails, the B&W Patriot which is not that old and this would have no problem installing onto either the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter part # 16310 or the Demco 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitches part # DM6140 if done so correctly. I think the hitch you have does not use industry standard mounting holes if...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Rail Kit On 2013 Ford F-350 With Factory Gooseneck Hitch Without Factory Rails
  • There is not an adapter for the factory installed gooseneck on your 2013 Ford F-350 to use a 5th wheel hitch. I recommend installing the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50026-58 which will give you custom brackets to fit your vehicle and fit your current 5th wheel hitch. If you want an underbed system for a cleaner bed, I recommend the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Trailer...

  • How To Determine If Your 5th Wheel Base Rails Are Industry Standard Rails
  • If your rails are ISR (Industry Standard Rails) then yes, you can easily swap out your 16k sliding 5th wheel hitch for a Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R20 Slider - Dual Jaw - 20,000lbs # C16541. An easy way to see if the rails are ISR is to measure the distance from center to center of the rails. If you get a 22" measurement like in the picture below then you have ISR rails.

  • Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch Compatibility with Ford OEM Gooseneck Hitch
  • For your Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch # AM3200 you will need rails unless you get the full 5th wheel puck system. The OEM gooseneck hitch is not compatible with any adapter.

  • Cost Effective 5th Wheel Hitch and Rail Kit for a 1999 Ford F-250
  • I spoke with my contact at Reese regarding your Reese 30004 5th wheel hitch and they stated that this is an older model that used unique base rails specific to the hitch. Unfortunately, this particular unit is not compatible with industry-standard, above-bed base rails and the specific rails it needs are no longer available. Therefore, the only option I have for you to tow a 5th wheel trailer with your 1999 Ford F-250 would involve purchasing a new 5th wheel hitch and base rail kit. For...

  • Will RBW 5th Wheel Hitch Fit Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ram DM6099
  • The 20-1/2-inch 5th wheel hitch leg spacing you mention is one of those included in industry-standard 5th wheel base rails like those in the linked photo as well as on tow-prep-package adapters like the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ram # DM6099. Reese offers a similar Ram adapter # RP30154. So long as the RBW 5th wheel hitch you have is designed to fit industry-standard 5th wheel rails - and is a slider type suited to your short bed truck - it will work.

  • Can a Reese 5TH Wheel Hitch # RP30054 Mount To a Demco Rail Adapter For a Ram OEM Prep/Puck System?
  • I recommend using the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP37FR as the Reese Low-Profile 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30054 was only designed for use on cab and chassis type frames where a 1/2" steel plate could be used to mount the hitch directly to the frame. There is no good way to attach it to the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6099 since Reese will not make replacement side brackets that fit the industry standard rails. It will also void any hitch warranty by mounting the hitch in...
