Question:
I need to determine what is the individual weights of the 3 pieces puck rail, slider base, and 5th wheel hitch itself are so I will know if I can remove it from my truck myself in 3 sections without using a hoist of some sort. Again, not the total weight of all 3 items, but the individual weight of each piece so that I can remove the pins and separate the hitch plate, slider mechanism, and the puck rail base individually.so that I could possibly physically remove it myself without assistance. Thank you

Hi Dan!
The Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider for Ram Prep Package - 16K # C99DQ weighs 271.8 pounds all together, but I have the weights for each piece broken down below:
Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch - Dodge Ram Towing Prep Package # C29BR - 94.5 pounds
Curt S20 Slider for E16, A16, A20, and Q20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 12" Travel # C63DR - 109.3 pounds
Head Unit for Curt E16 Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch - 16,000 lbs # C16515 - 68 pounds
This will sound like a weird question since it's actually heavier, but have you considered the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider for Ram Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20K # BWRVK3670? It weighs 299.7 pounds together (230 pounds for the # BWRVB3670 base and 69.7 pounds for the # BWRVC3006 head), but you can also get the B&W 5th Wheel Lifting Device # BWRVXA3130 that can be hooked to a winch or engine hoist to remove it. Plus I prefer the B&W hitches as they are American made and easier to use and live with. Other than the weight, of course.
