E16 5th Wheel Jaw

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.

  • 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.

  • Most Inexpensive 5th Wheel Hitch Setup for a 2006 Ford F-350
    The most cost effective option we have for your 2006 Ford F-350 is the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Universal Installation Kit part # C16116. This hitch and install kit combo comes with everything that you need to tow a 5th wheel trailer and it is still a great quality option at a very cost effective price. It has a 16,000 lb weight capacity with 4,000 lb vertical load limit. It is very unlikey you would ever be anywhere near this or the 5,000 lb vertical load limit you said you...

  • Will Curt Universal 5th Wheel Install Kit Fit a 2002 Ford F-150
    Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16116 comes with a universal installation kit and that kit does fit your 2002 Ford F-150. If you would rather go with a custom installation kit you can use # C16437-204 with hitch # C16115. Custom installation kits are easier to install and require less drilling for installation.

  • Curt E16 5th Wheel Hitch and Base Rail Compatibility with 2017 Ford F150 5-1/2 Foot Bed
    The Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16115 will fit the industry standard base rails compatible with your 2017 Ford F-150. If you don't have the base rails yet, then I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50087-58 confirmed to fit your truck. These brackets won't require drilling into your truck frame. If you want to use the kit # C16116, it will work with your truck, but you will need to drill into your frame for...

  • 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 the Curt E16 # C16116 Work With My 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 With Bed Liner?
    Hello Robert, Yes, the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Rails and Universal Installation Kit - Slide Bar Jaw - 16K # C16116 will work for your 2015 Chevy Silverado with 8 foot bed (if you have the standard 6 3/4' bed then it would be recommended to get a slider hitch for turning clearance) with bed liner. The # C16116 comes with the universal mounting brackets so it actually works with any truck, so this one will require drilling into the frame of your 1500. If you wanted to spend a...

  • 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.

    With the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Rails and Universal Installation Kit, # C16116 you will also want the Curt 10" Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Lube Plate, # 16721. But this has universal rails and installation kit with the hitch, there are no other brackets needed.

  • Is Spacer Kit Needed To Install Curt 5th Wheel Kit # C16116 In 2014 Toyota Tundra
    The Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Rails and Universal Installation Kit - Slide Bar Jaw - 16K # C16116 is a universal kit, so it will work with your 2014 Toyota Tundra with 6.5 foot bed. According to the installation instructions, you will need the Spacer Kit for Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Installation on Toyota Tundra # C16302 for this installation to avoid crushing of truck bed, however when I called my tech contact at Curt he said that is only needed on 2007 and 2008 models.

  • Does Fifth Wheel Rail Kit and Hitch part # C16116 Fit 2001 Dodge Ram 2500
    The Curt fifth wheel and rail kit part # C16116 that you referenced will fit your 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 long bed. The L-bracket style universal rails are compatible with your truck. All the needed hardware comes with this. For a 7-way to install in the bed of your truck to make connecting your trailer lights easier you would want the part # 41157. Most 7-ways will be at the rear of the truck near the bumper which doesn't work will with fifth wheel hitches. This kit installs in line with...

  • Does Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch And Universal Install Kit FIt 2011 Dodge Ram 1500
    The Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Rails and Universal Installation Kit # C16116 is a universal fit so yes, it will fit your 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 with an 8 foot bed. Along with the hitch, if you also need a 5th wheel wiring harness for your 2011 Ram 1500, the correct part is the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness # C56000. I have added a link below for you to check out as well of the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Rails and Universal Installation Kit # C16116.

  • Will Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/Universal Install Kit Fit a 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500
    Yes! I checked with Curt and 5th wheel trailer hitch with universal installation kit # C16116 will fit your 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500. I have included a link to a video review of this product for you. I also recommend installing a 7-Way trailer connector in the bed of your Silverado using # 41157. This will make hooking up the trailer easier than plugging it into a 7-Way at the back of the truck or having to extend any of the wiring to reach.

  • Will Curt 5th Wheel Hitch and Universal Install Kit Fit a 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500LD Short Bed
    Curt E16 5th wheel hitch # C16116 comes with a universal installation kit that will fit your 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500LD short bed. However, since you have the short bed you will need to use a slider 5th wheel hitch in order to make tight turns without the trailer hitting the truck cab. The slider version that also comes with the installation kit is # C16616.

  • Will Curt Fifth Wheel and Universal Rail Kit C16116 Fit 2010 Ford F-350
    The Curt E16 Fifth Wheel Kit part # C16116 can fit nearly all trucks as the rail kit that comes with it is a universal kit. I checked with Curt though and the rail kit will work as it is a standard L-bracket kit.

    Yes, the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Rails and Universal Installation Kit part # C16116 will fit your 1997 Ford F-250 Heavy Duty and will work well for you. Unfortunately, there are no true custom install kits available for this vehicle therefore a universal kit like the one listed above will be your only option.

  • Correct CURT Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Placement in a 2004 GMC Sierra 3500 Long Bed
    I looked over the installation instructions for the CURT E5 5th Wheel and Installation Kit, # C16116, and for a 2004 GMC Sierra long box, 30 inches from the edge of the bed to the back edge of the rear rail is correct. This should put the center of the hitch jaws centered over the rear axle. You have installed the hitch correctly if you have followed the included instructions. Following an alternate installation method will void the warranty. Having the center of the hitch centered overall...

  • Will The Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Universal Installation Kit Fit 2018 GMC Sierra 2500
    Yes, the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Rails and Universal Installation Kit, # C16116 will fit a 2018 GMC Sierra 2500 but with a 6-1/2 foot bed you will have cab clearance issues unless your 5th wheel is a narrow nose design or has a rotating turret type pin box. Otherwise for a short bed 2018 GMC Sierra I recommend a slide type hitch such as the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R16 Roller, # 16516 and using the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC, # C16418-204...

  • Is The Curt E16 Universal 5TH Wheel Kit a Fit For a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Short Bed?
    With your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 having a short bed it is recommended to have a sliding hitch like the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R16 Roller # 16516. Having the slider will allow you to move the hitch back 12" so you will have enough room to jackknife the trailer for maneuvering without hitting the front corner of the 5th wheel into the back of the cab.

    The industry standard rails included with the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Rails and Universal Installation Kit # C16116 can be installed on 2000 Ford F-250/350 with a bed liner. If the bed liner is a spray in there is nothing different when it comes to the install, but if you have a plastic bed liner you will need to trim it in the area where the rails sit so that they are touching metal. In addition to a 5th wheel hitch you may also be interested in the 5th wheel wiring harness...

    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. However, your super-short truck bed will require use of a rotating pin box, such as the Reese Sidewinder or Revolution and you will still need to verify cab clearance for safety. 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...

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Installation Kit Recommendation for 2008 Ford F350 and Curt E16 Fifth Wheel Hitch
    For a fifth wheel rail installation kit you will want to go with a custom install kit like the Curt Rail Kit part # C16443-204. This kit has been confirmed to fit your 2008 Ford F-350 and will install in about half the time as a universal kit and will minimize drilling. This kit is also compatible with your Curt E16 Fifth Wheel Hitch # C16115.

If you want to go with a Curt installation kit if your 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 does NOT have a Mega Cab, use # C16419-204. If it does have a Mega Cab, use # C16420-204.
