Why is Curt Fifth Wheel Rail Kit part # C16430-104 Listed as No Drill
Updated 06/23/2024 | Published 06/21/2024 >
Question:
Why does it say it requires no drilling when the instructions clearly state you have to drill holes in the bed? Requires no drilling and provides a custom fit for your vehicle. Includes everything you need for installation.

Hey Dan, so that's a great question. The Curt rail kit part # C16430-104 should be listed as no "frame drilling" and not just no drilling at all as that's a bit misleading. So the universal style rail kits require drilling into the truck's frame which is pretty difficult whereas the custom kits like this only drill through the bed which is a lot easier.
