Hello Melissa,
For your 2024 Ford F-150 with 5 1/2' bed you are going to want the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit - Carbide Black Finish # C38ZV. The # C38ZV will come with the custom brackets for you F-150 resulting in a much easier install over the universal brackets in the #C16100.
What kind of 5th wheel are you going to be pulling? Any fun trips planned for the year?

Hey Melissa, how did things go with the Curt custom installation kit on your F-150? Did it make the setup for your E16 hitch easier? Your update could make it easier for others working with the same truck and hitch combo.
