When used with Curt's custom brackets, these rails will cut in half the time it takes to install your fifth wheel trailer hitch. They also function as replacement rails for your existing towing system.

Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the CURT Universal Carbide Black Finish Fifth Wheel Base Rails. Now, these base rails will install in your truck bed. And they provide the necessary attachment points for your fifth wheel hitch installation. Now, when these rails are used with the CURT's Custom Mounting Brackets, which we sell separate on a website, these rails will cut in half the time it takes to install your fifth wheel trailer hitch.
We mentioned the finish on this. I'm gonna zoom in and sort of show it. It's a carbide black finish, sort of like a matte black finish, so it matches the finish if you use it on the CURT Q5 20K Fifth Wheel Hitch. Now, these rails are universal, so they will work with the following fifth wheel hitches. They work with the CURT brand, the Draw-Tite, the Hidden Hitch, the Reese, and even the Husky.
This part here will include the two base rails. Now, we mentioned the mounting brackets, the custom mounting brackets, the hardware, and an installation kit is all sold separately. The length on these rails, if we put a tape measure on them from one end to the other, right at 43 inches long. But that should do it for the review on the CURT Universal Carbide Black Finish Fifth Wheel Base Rails.

When used with Curt's custom brackets, these rails will cut in half the time it takes to install your fifth wheel trailer hitch. They also function as replacement rails for your existing towing system.The product is just as described!! I would give it a 5 star review. As for etrailer if I could give a 0 I would. I bought a complete 5th wheel install kit that was suppose to have the rails. Rails were never sent with the rest of the install kit. Called and they said it would be another week before I would receive them. I had to pay and extra $[XX] to get the expedited shipping and then on top of that you charged me for the rails that you never sent the first time. Still waiting on my refund for rails. Your customer service is subpar at best! I do not recommend ETRAILER!
The delivery was not good half the hitch showed up with just the bed rails I called customer service they sent another package a week later with a second set of bed rails when I needed the frame plates then finally the following week the frame plates came with no instructions and I had to go out of my way to return the duplicate set of bed rails I have another hitch on the way I really hope this is a better experience not really impressed with this transaction
My order is apparently being shipped in two separate parcels. I received the custom fifth wheel installation kit but the rails were not included and apparently will not arrive until one week later. I can’t install one without the other so it would have been better to send the kit complete instead separating the parcels by a week. On a positive note I appreciated the emails advising the ship date with the tracking number.
It arrived very quickly and everything was packed nicely and everything came as desired
Fit and finish is very good. The rails have worked as described with out Anderson Ultimate hitch pulling around our 14,000 lb. 5th wheel.
Great customer service. Item delivered on time Super happy
I ordered the rails and brackets kit with included hardware for a Curt slider hitch. The order arrived 3 days later in perfect shape and the quality of the parts is 1st rate...heavy. Price was better than other stores. I'm happy.
Great customer service.
This was a fairly simple install.
Good quality 5th wheel hitch ordered. Lucked out getting it on sale. Shipped on time. Arrived in perfect condition. Self install. Highly recommend Etrailer!
We bought a Curt slider hitch 16516 and base rails with bracket kit. Everything was very well constructed. We were very impressed with the product. We installed everything ourselves after watching the video. We highly recommend watching the video. Everything went together without any problems. Very solid hitch.
Truck had holes and frame brackets for rails already from previous owner. Why they would remove rails I dunno, but I ordered up the Curt universal rails only and they bolted right up to existing holes and hardware. Cheap way to go!
Followed the directions and it fit perfect. Good job.
Exactly what I expected from etrailer! Delivered earlier than scheduled. Great fit to my truck and existing equipment.
Good product with great service and prompt delivery
Excellent customer service. Super fast handling and delivery. Karen C. did a great job of correcting a mistake that I made. I will use E-trailer again...Thank you..
Perfect, they lined up with the holes in the deck and with my curt gooseneck
all parts fit properly and are well made.because of tight clearances very hard to properly tighten rail bolts between frame and bed.4hr. install with two experienced techs. if on a lift would be less time.
The product seems to be well-made everything fits perfectly he trailer was very fast and they’re shipping
This company is always great to go to when you need something at a reasonable price usually delivered before they say it is coming great customer service and the parts are quality

The hitch and mounting brackets work great except the slide is really hard to move with the 5er hooked up. Its very hard to pull the handle for the slide.
