Hey Julio, the Curt fith wheel rail kit part # C16200 that you referenced is a universal kit which means it can basically fit any truck including your 2026 Ford F-250. If you wanted to avoid drilling into the truck frame a custom fit rail kit would be a better option like the B and W part # BWRVK2402. This rail kit is compatible with all of the same hitches as the Curt too since both are industry standard rails.

Hey Julio, how did things turn out with the fifth wheel rail kit for your F-250? Did you go with the universal Curt kit or the custom B&W option? Knowing which one worked best could help others setting up a similar truck.

@JamesonC hi James I went with the B/W because was easier to install and looks stronger all around. My installer likes it too, was his first time installing that style and he said was easy. Still is a two people job. But really good overall.
