Today we're going to take a look at the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit, with the gloss finish rails, for the Ford F250 and F350 trucks. Now, this is a custom fit part, it is designed to fit the 1999 to 2004 Ford F250 and F350 trucks, for either the six and three quarter foot bed, or the eight foot bed. On a custom fit part, I always like to recommend to go to our website, use our fit guide, put in your year and model of vehicle, and it'll show if this part will work for your application. Now, these custom brackets here is a little mount beneath your truck bed. They do provide the attachment points for your fifth wheel rails. These are custom fit brackets. They are designed to mount to existing holes in your vehicle's frame.

This will help minimize the amount of drilling that's required, and the installation time is cut in half when compared with universal bracket systems. The base rails themselves, right here, these are what will attach to these mounting brackets. The rails is what sits in your truck bed, and they allow the installation of your fifth wheel trailer hitch to your vehicle. These are visible above bed rails, these have a nice gloss finish to them. This part will include everything shown here on the table, it includes the two above bed base rails, the two mounting brackets for each side, all the mounting hardware needed to install it, and a nice set of detailed instructions. This kit will work with fifth wheel hitches, from Curt, Draw Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, Reese, and Valley. That should do it for the review on the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit with the gloss finish rails for the Ford F250 and F350 trucks.

I am glad even with the modification you were able to get these to fit! What are you planning to tow with that vehicle?

She took the time to not only find what I needed but she helped me to get the best value for my money. I was amazed at how fast I received my order and could track it every step of the way! Thanks Hannah & etrailer for great service…that’s why I keep coming back. ??

@BrookeM I just spent some time getting the harness hooked up to my 2001 F250. Is the harness supposed to be a very tight fit? And does it need to click into place?

Fast shipping! Easy to install and everything fit perfectly



by:

Perfect fit....installation took 40 minutes.....couldn't ask for better fitment. Customer service answered one question prior to installing and it was a breeze from there



by:

Hello sir
The rail kit a little
different than I suspect ...i thought it would be no drilling involved to put it on my 2005 f250 truck but had to drill 2 holes in the frame. One on each side. Also had to buy 4 grade 8 bolts to finish it ....it didn't have enough bolts in the bag. But over all it went together simple not hard at all. Now my wife and I can enjoy camping.



by:

Exactly as described, easy checkout with all information available. Prompt delivery, all around an excellent purchase and experience. I verified that all parts work and fit, now I just have to find time to install.



by:

It works as promised, instructions were easy to follow.



by:

Fit as expected. Easy to install.

  • Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch For A 2002 Ford F250 Short Bed
    Hi John! The Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 18K # DM6077 can be used in your 2002 Ford F250 short bed, but not as it it currently stands. It is technically a replacement part as it needs a way to be attached. I have two options for that listed below: Standard Above Bed Rails: Side Plates for Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - Above Bed Mount # DM6003 Demco Underbed Rails ( # DM8551000): Side Plates for Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - Underbed Mount #...

    Hi David! We absolutely have kits available for your 2004 Ford F-350 single wheel. The RBW Lil Rocker follows industry standards for what it will fit, which makes it nice and easy. First is the custom Curt kit # C16443-104. This includes everything you need and minimizes drilling during the install. The other option is the B&W # BWRVR3200. This is a universal kit, so there will be more drilling required. It also includes all needed parts and is currently less expensive. You didn't mention...

  • Custom 5th Wheel Rail Kit for a 2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty
    Yes, the Curt Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ford F250 and F350 - Gloss Finish item # C16443-104 will fit your 2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty. For a better kit that does not require drilling into your frame I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches item # RP50074-58. The only holes you will have to drill are through the bed to attach the rails to the brackets that install in pre-existing holes along your frame. The Curt kit will...

  • Will a Reese 5th Wheel Slider Trailer Hitch Fit in Curt Above the Bed Rails in a 2004 Ford F-250
    First, the Curt above the bed rails and installation kit like # C16443-104 for a 2004 Ford F-250 short bed, will accept the Reese slider as long as it is the type of hitch that does fit in above the bed rails. I recommend that you do not fabricate the gooseneck hitch to work in the 5th wheel install kit because neither component has been tested for this application and that makes the capacity unknown for 5th wheel or gooseneck towing. The solution is to use a gooseneck plate in the above...
