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.

After ordering rails for a fifth wheel that I had in an older truck, I was told the rails I ordered would work with my fifth wheel, however after installing the front rail, the fifth wheel would not work with the rails ordered. I ended up ordering a new fifth wheel plate. That was easier than removing the frame brackets I had already installed. It appears that there was a mis communication between the person I talked to with etrailer. Instead of a 1/2 day install it took a day and a half plus wait time for the fifth wheel to get to my address. However once installed it appears to be good.
by: Park05/17/2023
The hitch worked great. Reason for the 2 stars is the package got delayed twice in transit and I had to reschedule the pickup of my fifth wheel. When I also received the package the main crossmember bar was bent at the mounting point. Luckily I was able to bend it back but UPS needs to get there act together.
by: Kyle12/10/2023
Great price and works really well with the camper im pulling with no issues what so ever even sits low enough to have my bed cover on without removing any parts of the hitch
by: Julio11/09/2017
Well packed, free 5 days shipping, easy to assemble and nice looking hitch. Im extra amazed because i can remove the king pin base/head from the bridge leg assembly to easily transport them. Still not tested with the coach. Practically no lateral movement and have the suspicion bushings. Very firm and easy mechanisms. Do not leave the gate open for long term because could damage the main spring. I plan to pull a 11k 334FWFLS. Nothing compared to this hitch in this price range. I will add some extra feedback after couple travels.
by: Billy 03/11/2024
Does what it is supposed to do. I’ve pulled my 5th well 4000 miles with no problems since I installed it. Very happy with the product.
However, Installing it is no easy task. Every truck is slightly different, and Directions are vague but You-Tube videos help. Swivels and various lengths of extensions are necessary and even then getting a torque wrench on the bolts is tricky. Drilling is required as well as a step bit. Final alignment is very important. If you are not mechanically inclined and patient, you might consider getting it professionally installed.
by: Terry03/27/2022
The hitch looks great as shipped from etrailer. The problem was UPS destroyed the package and hitch. I have just started the claims process through UPS. I have always had great success with everything coming from etrailer until now. It was obvious the box had been dropped numerous times. It had been retapped a few times trying to hold it together. The steel crossmember was bent in two directions. It cannot be used which makes this hitch worthless. I see no fault with etrailer (except I recommend putting the cardboard package inside a heavier box to help UPS prevent damage). This package is around ninety pounds shipping in a thin cardboard box. I will be ordering a new hitch from etrailer and hoping for a better shipping experience. I have to postpone my vacation due to not having a working hitch.

2021 Ram2500
Seems like a super high quality kit, but I will disagree with the ease of install. The instructions are super vague. It is quite difficult without putting the truck up on a lift and having several specialized tools. I consider myself sort of an average backyard automotive DIYer and I’ll have to take this in to a shop to finish. I think the page should say installation level medium or moderate.

2021 Ram2500
Geat sturdy well designed. Pretty simple to install, only downside is on the driver side with the fuel tank. If you have a lift at home it's best to use it. Also recommend using a M12 drill and a right angle impact or equivalent to make the job a bit smoother. Very happy with overall product

Thank you for such a fine product!! We installed the fifth wheel hitch in my 2015 RAM 2500 Mega Cab without any problems. It took us 5 hours to complete the installation and all the brackets and bolts went in without an difficulties!!
by: Russ08/04/2016
Great people, great service and great products. Installation went as smooth as one could wish for with no mistakes thanks to the helpful advice given in the videos. Etrailer will be my only source for my trailer and hitch needs. A special thank you to Katherina.
by: Charles03/27/2020
The hitch arrived very fast, and was boxed well. It doesn't come assembled in order to reduce the shipping size, but it's super easy to assemble. Just four 1/2" bolts attach the legs to the main crossmember, and one small 3/16" bolt attaches the lever release arm. In all, it only took about 15 minutes to assemble and set in the truck. It even comes with the hitch pins needed to install on your rails. The only thing you'll need that's not included is about 4 to 8, 1/2" washers. Very happy with the hitch, and always look to etrailer.com for my replacement hauling/trailer parts!
by: T Purdy05/30/2019
Haven't had a chance to use the hitch yet but I got it installed without too much trouble. It took about 4 hours to install, the frame mounting brackets and rails, at a leisurely pace. The unit seems to be very sturdy and it is certainly built heavy. I'm looking forward to testing it out soon.

I haven’t installed yet, but looks to be very good quality and good installation instructions
by: 01/26/2024
A little disappointing. The fit was good, and installation easy. But it was missing one of the critical long carriage bolts and spacer.
I didn't have time to send it back, so I had to fabricated a solution since I pick my new camper up in a few days.
Missing hardware definitely added to installation time.
by: Tony02/07/2019
Its a great product and with the rail kit it makes an awesome beast for towing. It has provided great service and satisfaction so far.

Easy installation. Fast shipping
by: Joel P.03/24/2014
Before even starting the install I was sure to read the directions a couple of times to make sure this was something I wanted to attempt on my own. I hadn't installed a hitch before but had assumed since it was a custom kit it wouldn't be too difficult. The directions stated that the total install time for the diy'er was 180 mins. I read through and took note of all the tools I was going to need. What I would have REALLY appreciated was a "tools required" list at the top of the instructions. I thought I had all the tools needed but at the very end when you get to the rear rail you need a 7/8" bit for the bottom of the bed support. I advise you have one at the ready. I had to hone it out with my 9/16 which was a giant pain. Everything else went really smooth. On my particular application I had a real hard time torquing the front right bed bolt on the rear rail to spec (110ft-lbs) as the mount for a cross-bar makes it nearly impossible to fit a torque wrench in. (I ended up having to use 3/8" drive extensions to go up inside the bucket and torquing it from the bottom.
Total time:(including a couple of breaks, meltdowns, and a bunch of swearing and a 2yr old hiding dad's parts) 180 mins. Touche' Curt Mfg., touche'...
Experience level of installer: None
This is something that the average person can do. Make sure to watch all the helpful videos here on etrailer.com, read through the directions before starting, and make sure you have all the necessary tools to help ensure your installation goes as smooth as possible.

I am sorry that it the kit arrived missing hardware. Customer Service will be in touch.
by: Sam Smith04/01/2020
Product was great, installation instructions were well written and easy to follow.
I think after using it for about 5,000 miles of pulling our fifth wheel there must be a better system out that reduces the expected jarring from the movement of the hitch due to needed clearance to use pins.
I might have the hitch welded to the rails or find one that is not removable.
If you have a solid mount hitch, please let me know.

Hi Sam, Thank you for your review! If your truck does not have the OEM gooseneck package, then I would recommend getting the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, part BWRVK3500-5W and Part BWGNRK1384 . This setup will give you a much more solid connection to your truck and should help eliminate the jarring you are talking about.

Do you have a question about this Fifth Wheel Hitch?
- How Much Trailer Can the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Handle
- The Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16115 for fixed or part # 16516 for sliding is rated for up to 16,000 lbs. Therefore, the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) which is the most a trailer can weight must be under this figure to remain safe though a few thousand lbs of extra room is never a bad thing. If you need more capacity, the next step up is the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16140 for fixed or part # C16541 for sliding.

- In order to use the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16115 on a 2008 Ford F-150 you'll want the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ford F150 part # C16441-204. The Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Rails and Universal Installation Kit part # C16116 will fit, but the universal frame bracket require drilling into the frame which makes installation much harder and the custom bracket bypass all this as they bolt on so that is what I recommend. That said, either will work.

- The reason the base rails and installation kit are not on the same page as Curt fifth wheel hitch # C16115 is because the rails and install kit are vehicle specific. So listing them as a package deal would not be feasible considering the thousands of combinations of years, makes and models of trucks and the many different brackets and rails that fit.
I can tell you that for your 2005 Ford F-250 or F-350 Super Duty you will need the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ford #

- The Curt E16 5th Wheel Hitch # C16115 is compatible with a Reese Revolution Pin Box. This combination is what you will want to use with your 5-1/2 foot bed on your 2015 Ram 1500 since most sliding 5th wheel hitches do not provide the 22 inches of clearance that a Revolution Pin Box does to enable you to make tighter turns with your short bed.

- Yes, you can use the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16115 with your 2014 Ford F-150 but you do need base rails as well and for that I recommend the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # BWRVK2404 which fits all 3 bed sizes for your truck.
Please note the E16 is a base model 5th wheel hitch and we really only recommend using it for occasional and/or short distance towing. The slide bar jaw leaves a bit of slack around the king pin so you'll get a bit of chucking and jarring
view full answer... - Will Curt E16 5th Wheel Hitch Fit Reese Adapter 30156 in a 2012 Ford F-350 with Factory Prep Package
- The frame I believe you mean is adapter # RP30156. It has 5th wheel hitch mounting slots spaced 29 and 20-1/2 inches apart on center side to side and 22 inches front to back. These are the same as the industry standard rail slot spacing so it is compatible with Curt hitch # C16115.
This hitch has a slide-bar jaw which is secure but allows for a lot of movement at the king pin which will result in chucking. You might consider the next step up in the Curt line, the A16, # C16120, for a

- Choosing the right 5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch for your 2014 Ram 1500 will depend first on the weight of the trailer you plan on towing. You will want to make sure the truck and hitch have weight capacities that exceed the trailer's loaded weight.
Since your Ram 1500 has a short 5-1/2 foot bed, the safest way to tow a trailer is to use a stationary 5th-wheel hitch and replace the pin box on the trailer with a Sidewinder, if it does not have one already. The Sidewinder will be required to

- Curt recommends that hitches, such as your E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # C16115 be maintained once or twice a year by applying a light coat of wheel bearing grease to the surface of the slide bar that holds the kingpin in place. For best results, apply the grease with the slide bar in the closed position. Then pull the slide bar open and apply a light coating of grease to the slide bar shaft that the handle is attached to.

- As far as fits go the situation was that on Curt kit # C16430-204 they had excluded dually models. But we have installed this kit on a dually model and have been told by Curt recently that it will fit. So if your 2015 Ram 3500 does not have the factory prep package for a 5th wheel hitch, you should be able to use this Curt kit. And your Reese hitch will fit it.
But I can tell you that Reese installation kit, # RP50085-58, will fit dually models for sure and your hitch will fit this installation

- The Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16115 is large enough to tow a 11,200 lbs trailer regardless of the length. For your 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 long bed I recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Dodge Ram - Carbide Finish # C16420-204 which will fit your truck frame without any drilling. Your other option is to use the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails with Installation Kit - Carbide Black Finish # C16200 which will require drilling

- Yes, I believe you can tow a Grand Design Reflection 303RLS with your 2018 Chevy 2500 HD. With the 5th wheel towing limit of 13,500, you will be below capacity, even with the camper fully loaded.
A fifth wheel hitch like the Curt E16 # C16115 will have sufficient capacity to tow your camper. I will say that the E16 is more of a budget option, and if you plan to tow frequently I recommend upgrading to a Curt A16 hitch like the # C16120. This will have much smoother head rotation, and

- Do you know who manufactured your existing bed rails?
The Curt E5 16K Fifth Wheel Hitch you referenced, part # C16115 are compatible with universal rails manufactured by Reese, Curt and Valley. A universal rail will have three mounting slots on each side of the rail, as shown in the photo with dimensions I have linked to.
Your front and rear rail should be 22 inches apart, measured from the center of the front rail to the center of the rear.

- For your 2011 Ford F-150 with 6-1/2 foot bed you can use 5th wheel rail kit # C16437-204. The Curt E16 hitch # C16115 will fit but it is a fixed hitch. Short bed trucks require a slider hitch unless the trailer is very narrow or has a tapered front cap designed to be towed by a short bed truck. Otherwise the trailer can make contact with the truck cab when making tight turns.
The slider version of the E16 hitch is # 16516.

- As long as your 2010 GMC Sierra 2500HD has a towing capacity great enough to tow your Montana 5th wheel trailer then you should not have any problems towing through the mountains. I would recommend a transmission cooler given the weight of the trailer and the terrain you will be pulling it through. Beyond that, make sure you follow the owners manual recommendations for towing and you should not have a problem.
If you like the Curt hitches, you can use installation kit # C16418-104, and

- Based on the picture you attached your truck has a fifth wheel towing capacity of 14,500 lbs so as long as the trailer you end up going with weighs less than that you'd be fine. The Curt E16 hitch part # C16115 that you referenced has a 16k capacity which means it would not limit the towing capacity of your truck either. I am not totally sure what truck you have but I see that the engine code is L96 so I am fairly certain you have a GM truck.
view full answer... - Do 5th Wheel Installation Brackets Require Specific Set of Rails for 2015 Ram 2500
- A fifth wheel installation kit does require a specific set of base rails from the same manufacturer. What that means is if you aren't sure the base rails you currently have then you will need to get an all-new set of both brackets and rails.
So for your 2015 Ram 2500 I recommend going with a custom-mounted kit that does not require any drilling. That is not only good for your truck but also saves literal hours when doing the installation. The kits that fit your '15 Ram 2500 are:

- First of all, yes part # C16427-204 is the correct bracket kit for your 2015 Ram 2500 and the rails as well as the hardware is all included.
It can be installed with a spray in bed liner, I've linked a video of a 2017 Ram we did with a bed liner for you. With that being said we've got some reviews from customers who have said the bolts are sometimes more difficult to fit and properly torqued because of the bed liner so don't be surprised if it's not as easy as your last truck.

Reese Hitch # RP30075 and Reese Hitch # RP30051 are good options since they are height adjustable from 13 to 17 inches. The lowest setting cannot be used since they are slider hitches for short bed trucks but that shouldn't matter with these hitches.

This option is a bolt-on fit, no drilling into the frame required.
