Question:

Are the Curt standard rails C16104 and the Reese standard rails RP30035 the same rail? Would the Reese rails be compatible with the Curt 16442 Custom install brackets for the Ford F-150?

Expert Reply:

In regards to fifth wheel base rails, the way the fifth wheel hitch attaches to them will be the same across brands but not the way they attach to the frame brackets therefore you cannot mix and match base rails and frame brackets. If you already have rails you'll need to use either Curt Brackets part # C86WR or Reese Brackets part # RP56034.
