Simple, Secure Hookup
With a dual-pivoting head that offers 10 degrees of lateral movement, the E16 fifth-wheel hitch makes hookup a snap, even on unlevel ground. Once the king pin slides into the hitch, the auto-locking, slide-bar jaw secures it in place. A unique feature of the E16 is the rear steel tension bar within the jaw that activates upon hookup to clamp down on the king pin, providing a tighter grip that maximizes security and minimizes rattle.

After ordering rails for a fifth wheel that I had in an older truck, I was told the rails I ordered would work with my fifth wheel, however after installing the front rail, the fifth wheel would not work with the rails ordered. I ended up ordering a new fifth wheel plate. That was easier than removing the frame brackets I had already installed. It appears that there was a mis communication between the person I talked to with etrailer. Instead of a 1/2 day install it took a day and a half plus wait time for the fifth wheel to get to my address. However once installed it appears to be good.
by: Park05/17/2023
The hitch worked great. Reason for the 2 stars is the package got delayed twice in transit and I had to reschedule the pickup of my fifth wheel. When I also received the package the main crossmember bar was bent at the mounting point. Luckily I was able to bend it back but UPS needs to get there act together.
by: Kyle12/10/2023
Great price and works really well with the camper im pulling with no issues what so ever even sits low enough to have my bed cover on without removing any parts of the hitch
by: Julio11/09/2017
Well packed, free 5 days shipping, easy to assemble and nice looking hitch. Im extra amazed because i can remove the king pin base/head from the bridge leg assembly to easily transport them. Still not tested with the coach. Practically no lateral movement and have the suspicion bushings. Very firm and easy mechanisms. Do not leave the gate open for long term because could damage the main spring. I plan to pull a 11k 334FWFLS. Nothing compared to this hitch in this price range. I will add some extra feedback after couple travels.
by: Terry03/27/2022
The hitch looks great as shipped from etrailer. The problem was UPS destroyed the package and hitch. I have just started the claims process through UPS. I have always had great success with everything coming from etrailer until now. It was obvious the box had been dropped numerous times. It had been retapped a few times trying to hold it together. The steel crossmember was bent in two directions. It cannot be used which makes this hitch worthless. I see no fault with etrailer (except I recommend putting the cardboard package inside a heavier box to help UPS prevent damage). This package is around ninety pounds shipping in a thin cardboard box. I will be ordering a new hitch from etrailer and hoping for a better shipping experience. I have to postpone my vacation due to not having a working hitch.

I have hauled a 34 foot toyhauler hundreds of miles with this hitch,very happy and would suggest it to anyone.
by: Jack02/20/2024
Used this 3 times and didn’t like the clunking. Should have expected the clunking with a slide bar type hitch. Purchased a Demco Recon which I like very much
by: Charles03/27/2020
The hitch arrived very fast, and was boxed well. It doesn't come assembled in order to reduce the shipping size, but it's super easy to assemble. Just four 1/2" bolts attach the legs to the main crossmember, and one small 3/16" bolt attaches the lever release arm. In all, it only took about 15 minutes to assemble and set in the truck. It even comes with the hitch pins needed to install on your rails. The only thing you'll need that's not included is about 4 to 8, 1/2" washers. Very happy with the hitch, and always look to etrailer.com for my replacement hauling/trailer parts!
by: T Purdy05/30/2019
Haven't had a chance to use the hitch yet but I got it installed without too much trouble. It took about 4 hours to install, the frame mounting brackets and rails, at a leisurely pace. The unit seems to be very sturdy and it is certainly built heavy. I'm looking forward to testing it out soon.
by: Brian T07/15/2016
I bought the curt fifth wheel and base to convert my B&W turnover ball and this thing fits perfectly it went together smoothly and in under an hour easily highly reccomend
by: Tony02/07/2019
Its a great product and with the rail kit it makes an awesome beast for towing. It has provided great service and satisfaction so far.
by: 01/26/2024
A little disappointing. The fit was good, and installation easy. But it was missing one of the critical long carriage bolts and spacer.
I didn't have time to send it back, so I had to fabricated a solution since I pick my new camper up in a few days.
Missing hardware definitely added to installation time.
by: David01/23/2024
Easy installation. Fast shipping
by: Al09/20/2020
E-trailer made the order process very easy, and the shipping was much faster than I expected. The boxes arrived in fairly good condition, but the hitch arms were scratched up due to poor internal packaging. Since the hitch was packed in an E-Trailer box, I assume they repackaged this product.
Otherwise, the Curt hitch and custom rails seem to be very good products for the money!

The E16 hitch is adequate. I get a lot of clunking when starting and stopping due to the straight locking bar style hitch. I wish now that I would have spent more money and got a hitch that had locking jaws that clamped around the pin.
by: Jim07/11/2018
Product made it with no missing parts. etrailer "pallet wrapped" the 93 lb. 5th wheel hitch. Outer box still sustained damage, but maintained the inner box. etrailer succeeded where two other venders failed to deliver intact packages.
etrailer has a new, repeating customer.

The hitch release handle is quite sticky. I have used silicone spray and last week applied some grease. Doesnt want to close all the way and needs to be coaxed into total closure.
by: Pat R.04/21/2017
I am very pleased with my purchase from etrailer. I bought a fifth wheel hitch to haul my fifth wheel trailer and have had no problems with the installation or using it and have had it one year. I would recommend this purchase to anyone who needs a quality fifth wheel at an economy price.

YES, THE HITCH IS STILL 100 GREAT, THANK YOU
by: Chris 05/16/2020
It is just what I wanted, coming from the world of big trucks, I wanted a hitch that auto snaps closed, it does just that, it mounted right in my old Reese plate system on 22” center, so far I am very happy not only with the hitch, but also the price and the customer service from
E trailer, thanks for the support . Chris S.

I still love it less work for me, you back in it locks your done, and unlock is easy pull the handle never sticks love it!!!
by: Kurtis09/08/2022
The customer service with etrailer was awful. Thier system showed an incorrect part for my vehicle and they admitted that but between the shipping mess back and forth. I would of liked a discount or a faster shipment on the correct parts that were already opened and missing hardware. Never again. Good thing its only a fifth wheel assembly and doesnt require quality hardware.
by: William B01/31/2020
This hitch was very easy to put on. We use it to pull our camper several times last summer. We have not had any problems hooking or unhooking from the hitch. Looking forward to another season camping. Thanks etrailer

excellent customer service!!!! will deal with Alex again if more trailer/hitch parts are needed. Happy Hoildays to all
by: Joe T10/29/2019
First the bolts were a little short. But they quickly sent longer ones. Slightly tight fitting in bed rails. Used it once got more tight. After the second time had to use two by four to pop it out.. After a couple more tines of use it won’t budge at all. I think the hitch is spreading out. Wouldn’t have taken much to beef it up with some kid of support going across near the bottom. Not as much side to side tip of the 5th wheel plate as advertised. Get much more than 1 1/2” you have to put block under the truck wheels to get unhooked. A little forward and backward movement of 5th wheel pin but not bad. Other wise it works good.
by: Catherine 08/15/2022
We had our other truck stolen with the 5 th wheel hitch and many other possessions in it. This company shipped us another hitch quickly for our new truck and other needed equipment we needed to get back on the road. Thank you

Excellent value
by: Don03/24/2022
The hitch was damaged in shipping. They replaced it quickly. Their customer service was a pleasant surprise. They also have excellent installation videos. I recommend etrailer for their prices and customer service.

- Correct 5th Wheel Installation Bracket and Hardware For 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 W/ 6-3/4 BedI have a different option for you, but the Reese Quick-Install Custom Brackets # RP50074 you were looking at is actually for a 2017-2022 Ford F-250 or F-350 and will not be correct for your 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500. Instead you will need the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Bracket Kit for Chevy/GMC Truck # C16429 which is confirmed to fit your truck and will allow you to use your current above bed rails assuming they are the industry standard rails and are made by Curt. If your rails are made by...
view full answer... - Solution for Front Axle of 2018 Ram 2500 Transferring Weight to Rear AxleSince you have a Sidewinder pin box on your 5th wheel trailer, you will need a new 5th wheel hitch since the current models of the Curt A-series and Q-series are not compatible with sidewinders. Instead, you can go with the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16115 and custom wedge # RP64FR. This should help put the front end of your Ram lower since the legs are almost 100 lbs lighter than the slider but I can't guarantee that your pickup will be at factory...
view full answer... - Will Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Work with Reese Sidewinder Pin BoxI have a solution for you, however, the newly-updated Curt A-Series Fifth Wheel Hitches are NOT compatible with Reese Sidewinders, and they haven't been confirmed to fit other rotating pin boxes either. For this reason, I recommend to a Curt E-Series like Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16115 which is compatible with sidewinders when used with Wedge # RP64FR.
view full answer... - Correct Base Rails for Curt E16 5th Wheel Hitch on 2021 Ford F-250In order to use the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16115 on a 2021 Ford F-250 you'll need the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit part # C79BR which is composed of the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails part # C16204 and Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit for Ford part # C99BR. Please not, the base rails are not sold individually.
view full answer... - Recommended Industry Standard Rails and SumoSprings for a 2014 Ford F-150 2WDThe Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # C16115 will work great with the Lippert Turning Point pin box. It has a 16,000 lbs capacity which will work great with your Reflection 269RD 5th wheel trailer. A rotating pin box is the best option for your short bed 2014 F-150 because a slider will not give you enough clearance to turn and back into tight spaces with a 5-1/2' bed. To attach the E16 you will want the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches item...
view full answer... - Comparing Curt 5th Wheel Hitches for 2000 Ford F-350Long bed trucks like your 2000 Ford F-350 with 8-foot bed naturally have enough turning clearance to use fixed (non-sliding) 5th wheel hitches like the excellent B&W Patriot 18K # BWRVK3255. Shorter bed trucks require a sliding hitch like the Curt E16 # 16516 that you referenced in order to have enough turning clearance to avoid trailer-to-cab contact. You can use a slider hitch in both long and short bed trucks but if used in a long bed it must always remain in the forward locked position....
view full answer... - 5th Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2016 Nissan Titan XD and Trailer With SidewinderThe option I recommend for your 2016 Nissan Titan XD with the factory gooseneck, that will allow you to handle the hitch is the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16115 along with Adapter Rail # DM6200 and Wedge # C16991. The wedge is necessary since it keeps the king pin from rotating inside the hitch. You mentioned you had 46 inches side-to-side and I checked with Demco and the adapter is 36 inches wide so it will fit in the space you have.

- Recommended 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Gooseneck Hitch for 2015 RAM 2500 64 Inch Bed with Ram BoxThe Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Single Jaw - 21,000 lbs # DM8550045 is not a good option for your 2015 Ram short box with Ram Box. The issue with Ram Box is that it limits the ability to use a 5th wheel hitch because the boxes get in the way of the Pin Box on your trailer. The only option for Ram Box is to use a standard hitch (not a gooseneck adapted hitch) and then a Sidewinder Pin Box to move the turning point of the trailer back 22 inches to avoid...
view full answer... - Is it Okay to Have More Than 5 - 6 of Clearance Above Truck Bed Rails for 5th Wheel TrailerGreat question! We recommend having 5" of bed rail clearance at the very least. If your 5th wheel trailer is level with the Curt # C16906 legs installed and your 10" of clearance then there is no harm in having more height clearance. If you have to adjust the pin box on your 5th wheel trailer and your Curt A20 # C16140 on your 2018 Ram 2500 then you need to make sure you have at least 5" - 6" of bed rail clearance. Now that being said, the Curt A and Q series hitches are no longer compatible...

- Fifth Wheel Rail Installation Kit Recommendation for 2008 Ford F350 and Curt E16 Fifth Wheel HitchFor a fifth wheel rail installation kit you will want to go with a custom install kit like the Curt Rail Kit part # C16443-204. This kit has been confirmed to fit your 2008 Ford F-350 and will install in about half the time as a universal kit and will minimize drilling. This kit is also compatible with your Curt E16 Fifth Wheel Hitch # C16115.
view full answer... - Wedge for Curt E16 for Turning PointThough the Sidewinder Wedge for Curt E16 # C16991 is not made for a Lippert Turning Point, we have had customers successfully use the wedge with the Turning Point so it will work with your Curt E16 # C16115.

The best way to find out what the exact towing capacity is for either Chevrolet Silverado is to compare the options that you have to the chart listed on page 4-70 to 4-75 of your owner's manual. If it turns out that you are able to pull the 5th wheel then you will need a few items in order to do so. If either...
view full answer... - Recommended Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit For 2020 Ram 2500 With 6-1/2 BedFor your 2020 Ram tradesman 2500 with the 6-1/2' bed I recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram Truck # C16427-204 as it will not require drilling holes in the frame or any welding, but will require drilling holes in the bed to mount the rails. If you do not already have a 5th wheel hitch I recommend taking a look at Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R16 Slider - Dual Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16521. A sliding hitch is recommended for trucks like your Ram that had a bed...
view full answer... - Does Curt E16 5th Wheel Hitch Fit Same Base Rails as Reese 5th Wheel HitchA Reese 5th wheel hitch like the 30032 or 30033 you mentioned fits what are called industry-standard base rails, and the answer to your question is yes, the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16115 will absolutely fit the same base rails as a Reese 5th wheel hitch. You will be able to use this new hitch on the base rails you already have without any issue whatsoever. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well of the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16115.

Unless you can find some used ones somewhere your only option is replacing the hitch with something that uses the standard above bed rails instead. For that I'd go with the B&W Rails # BWRVR3200 which are a custom fit for your vehicle so there's less drilling than the universal brackets. For a hitch if you're needing a slider I'd go with the Curt # 16516...

This will be no problem at all if your truck already industry standard rails installed. If not you can add them. I suggest the Reese Custom Base Rails Kit # RP50064-58. The custom kit will be much easier and faster to install than a universal kit. It will also work with your Sidewinder pin box. You'll need the wedge, part # C16991 if you don't...
view full answer... - Is There a Wedge that Fits Curt Q20 Fifth Wheel HitchThere isn't a wedge that can be used with the Q Series Curt fifth wheel hitches. The Q series of hitches cannot be used with Sidewinders as their jaws/head will get permanently damaged. Instead, you'll want to use something like the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16115 with Custom Wedge # RP64FR.

You're going to want to start by using the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Trailer Hitches - 20,000 lbs # C16210, which will allow you to connect a 5th wheel hitch that fits in the industry standard base rails. With the adapter, I recommend using the Curt E16 5th...

If you already have the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch then you can swap out the base for the Curt OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch Legs for Ford Super Duty Towing Prep Package part # C16017 but otherwise you would just need to use the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ford Towing Prep Package part # C16515-16017.

view full answer... - Is It Possible To Raise The Curt E-16 5th Wheel Hitch 2" Higher The head of the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16115 can only be adjusted from 13" to 17" so if you're already at 17" tall you'd need to switch to a taller hitch like the Curt CrossWing # C86JR or B&W Patriot # BWRVK3200 for a higher hitch head height. The CrossWing can adjust from 16-3/8" to 20-3/8" and the Patriot can adjust from 16" to 19" tall. Of these two hitches I personally prefer the B&W Patriot for it's quality and the extra front-to-back adjustability that the pivot arms provide.

Using the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16418-204 will minimize drilling and the brackets will mount to the existing holes on your Chevrolet Silverado's frame.

This is a custom installation kit, so minimal drilling if any will be required. This rail kit can be used for any 5th wheel hitch that installs in industry standard base rails.

Since there are no other under-bed fifth wheel hitch options for your 2020 Ram 2500 with a 6-1/2' Bed you will need to use above bed rails.
