• 2023 Toyota Tacoma Is Not Detecting Trailer - What Can I Do?
  Hello and thanks for reaching out. I have heard of this issue before and this is almost always due to the LED lights on the trailer. The LED lights do not pull enough power for the truck to recognize it is plugged in. The best solution for this is to use a Lamp Out adapter # C35FR if your trailer has a 4 or 5 way connector or # 20142 if your trailer has a 7-way connector. The adapters have built-in resistors that allow the truck to detect the LED lights. This issue is pretty common on new...

• Will Curt Hitch with Universal Rails Fit 2017 Ram 2500 Short Bed
  Yes, 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.

  The Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Rails and Universal Installation Kit, # C16116 can be made to fit in most any truck including a 2019 Toyota Tundra.

The formula for determining this is: (A + B) - C = Clearance A = Distance from the fifth wheel jaw center to the truck cab B = Offset used (slider clearance...

• Can Stationary 5th Wheel Hitch be Used for a 2018 Ram 2500 with Short Bed
  You could potentially use the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Rails and Universal Installation Kit # C16116 to tow your 35' RV with your 2018 Ram 2500 but I really don't recommend doing that for 3 reasons. The first is that this is a universal installation rail kit which means that you have to do some drilling into the frame of your brand new vehicle and the second is that the E16 is an entry level 5th wheel hitch that can get the job done but it doesn't secure the king pin very well,...

• Curt Fifth Wheel Hitch and Universal Rail Kit for 2016 Ram 2500 Short Bed

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.

The Curt E16 is a very basic model that uses a slide-bar jaw which will result in a lot of movement/rattling of the king pin and the non cushioned head can give you chucking and bounce.

• Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Rails Only for a 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500 Short Bed
  Generally speaking if you have a short bed truck, like your 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500 with 6-1/2 foot bed, then you would need to use a slider hitch and not a fixed hitch. That is unless the trailer is very narrow or it has a tapered front cap that was designed to be towed by a short bed truck. Otherwise the trailer could make contact with the truck cab when making tight turns. If you already have frame brackets that you want to use then you would need to get the hitch and rails separate...
