Question:
What is the difference between hitch kit c 16424-104 and c16424-204 I see that with Curt A20 5th wheel w/r20 slider dual jaw 20,000 lb C16541 complete kit , it shows c16424-104 and I read in another spot that it requires a c16424-204 hitch kit. Thanks

The difference between Curt 5th wheel trailer hitch installation kits # C16424-104 and # C16424-204 is just the finish of the rails. Kit # C16424-204 has a carbide finish making it more flat or matte black. Kit # C16424-104 has a gloss finish making it more shiny. But you can bet that considering what it is and wear its going it will not stay shiny for long.
Curt hitch # C16541 is just the hitch and slider base. The installation kit is sold separately and it will fit in either kit since the only difference is the finish.
