Finish Difference Between the Curt Custom Install Kits for the 2012 Ram 3500
Question:
I have purchased a 2012 Ram 3500 Laramie crew cab with an 8 foot box and need to install a rail ket for my Reese 5th wheel hitch. What is the difference between the Curt: C16420-204 and the C16420-104? Will either of them work in my new truck?

Expert Reply:
The difference between the Curt rails # C16420-204 and the # C16420-104 is in the finish of the rails. The # C16420-204 has a carbide finish which is more of a matte finish whereas the # C16420-104 has a gloss finish.
Either will work fine for you, the choice comes down to which finish you would rather see in the bed of your 2012 Ram 3500 Laramie.
These rail kits are confirmed to work with Reese hitches and should work well with your Reese 5th Wheel Hitch.
