Today we're going to take a look at the Curt Universal 5th Wheel Base Rails with the installation kit in a carbide black finish. These base rails will provide a solid mounting point for your 5th wheel hitch. The universal L-shape brackets here will fit nearly any application. They are semi-custom brackets that can be used to ease installation on certain vehicles. All the parts are protected by a highly durable carbide powder coat finish. They are inaudible 00:00:24 in a rust resistant liquid bonderite coating. Now, this part is compatible with most 5th wheel hitches, rollers and goose neck adapters by Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Reese, Valley, and Husky.
Complete kit includes everything shown here, the two base rails themselves, the 4 L-shaped universal brackets, all the mounting hardware, and a nice set of detailed instructions on how to install everything. That should do it for the review on the Curt Universal 5th Wheel Base Rails with the installation kit in a carbide black finish.

Install your fifth wheel trailer hitch with this universal-fit kit. Includes base rails, hardware and universal, L-shaped brackets.by: 04/15/2024
Very easy install in my situation. I have a flat bed so measure, mark, drill, install bolts and nuts and torque. Only recommendation I would give is the brackets should have all been long not two long and two short. I wasn’t able too put 2 bolts in the short brackets.
by: William12/29/2023
Used this kit to mount a fifth wheel hitch in a 2023 Tacoma. Composite bed made this install challenging since the bed carries almost none of the load. It took a couple of weeks to lay out, then had to saw/grind away access points for the mounting hardware. I bolted instead of welding due to the proximity of cabling to where the mounts would need to be placed. But, it has performed as advertised; looking forward to many years of use.

1998 Dodge 1500 4X4 with 6.5ft bed
Set the rails where I needed them and drilled trough the PU bed. Then bolted the frame mounts under the bed to hold in position for marking the holes that needed to be drilled through the frame rails.
Worked very well once I was able to get access to the frame rails by removing the fender flares and the inside plastic fenders. Used step drill to to drill through the frame rails after marking center by means of a large drill bit that fit the hole size needed.
Worked alone and I'm 72 so any younger whippersnapper should be able to accomplish the task.

Would of been 5 stars but had to do some custom modification to it on my 07.5 2500 dodge ram. As there is a set bolt on the frame so a small chunk of bracket had to be cut out for me to install it.

Works great
by: Ted08/23/2021
Product and instructions were great. The packaging wasn’t excellent but everything made it. The finish on the rails was good and so was the hardware. Added this hitch to an 02 Silverado 1500 HD. Hope I didn’t void the warranty by welding on the frame

by: Gary05/18/2023
This product fit well. It is well constructed in heavy duty. My contact at E trailer. Rob was fantastic. The package was damaged by UPS in transit and one of the brackets was lost. He helped me identify which bracket I needed and correctly sent me the bracket that I needed in a prompt manner. His professionalism and courtesy was top notch
by: Yael07/31/2023
Bailey was very helpful with my questions during the ordering process. The process was easy and delivery was right on time. Follow up customer service is a nice touch. Thank you, etrailer!
by: Mason11/02/2019
This product worked well for what I needed and the price I wanted, it is universal so afew extra parts came with it. But I am very satisfied. I installed afew extra bolts just for added Security, it got the job done.
by: Craig05/02/2019
Awesome product, heavy duty, fit perfect, only complaint is the fish wire broke on my 3 bolt of 8 !!
by: John04/25/2023
I love the Curt products.
Problem with my order was.

And I am missing one of the small brackets that bolt to the frame.

Was glad of easy instructions to help in putting it on my truck and delivery was in time also thanks so much! It worked out great.
by: Ron11/10/2019
Received the heavy box delivered in a speedy manner. Put in truck as illustrated. Smooth installation of rails. Put the hitch mount on the rails but no pins to lock it to the rails. Buying the rail and hardware kit, I expected the kit to have included the 4 pins. Somewhat disappointed. I wanted to install and get on the road.

It is common for manufacturers to include 5th wheel rail pin and clips with the 5th wheel trailer hitch. If your hitch doesnt have the pin and clips anymore, they are available separately with part # C16902.

by: Robert11/30/2021
Wouldn’t know if it works due to not receiving them. The bolts and brackets were not in the base rail kit. So can’t use it or the pins I ordered due to not being able to mount my hitch. Contact has disappeared. Will not be shopping with eTrailer again.

First package arrived missing several pieces. When I called, the lady stated for me to go through each piece of hardware and verify what is missing. The second time I called the second lady was much more helpful and shipped out everything right away.
by: Norman 02/03/2023
Your installer would not install it. Major let down as both my knees are bad, back is shot and a shoulder hurt. But I guess I'll have to figure it out.

- Fifth Wheel Rail Kit that Fits 1992 Ford F-350 for Use with Curt HitchWe do have a fifth wheel rail kit that fits your 1992 Ford F-350 with the part # BWRVR3200 which is also compatible with your Curt hitch but the Curt universal rail kit you mentioned is not listed as a fit so I can't guarantee it would work. It most likely would though.
view full answer... - Curt Fifth Wheel Rail Kit that Fits 2021 Ram 1500 Quad CabI checked with Curt and they do have a custom fit fifth wheel rail kit that fits your 2023 Ram 1500 quad cab with the part # C16307-204 but they do not list the universal kit as a fit that you mentioned. Whenever available the custom fit kits are the way to go as the install is a lot simpler (no frame drilling) and the time it takes is cut in about half.
view full answer... - Will Curt Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Fit B and W Patriot Hitch that Fits 2013 Ram 2500 Short BedThe B and W Patriot fifth wheel hitch part # BWRVK3270 does fit the Curt fifth wheel rail kits like the # C16200 but this is not the rail kit that Curt recommends for your truck. Instead they recommend the custom install kit part # C16430-204 which will install much easier and does not require any frame drilling like the kit you mentioned would.
view full answer... - Will Curt's 5TH Wheel Rails Fit With Ride-Rite Air Springs On a 2013 Ford F-150 6-1/2' bed? Your Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2525 are not going to be compatible with the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16441-204. It does appear to install any hitch with custom side plates you would have to switch to a different set of Air Springs like the Air Lift for 2WD # AL88228 or 4WD # AL88200. Otherwise if you install the rails with the Universal Kit # C16200 then you could use the Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # 16055 you found. Do note the universal...
view full answer... - Will Universal 5th Wheel Rail Kit Fit a 2011 Ram 1500 with 5-1/2' BedThe Curt Universal Rail Kit # C16200 can essentially be installed on any truck, but Curt does say that the Bracket Kit # C16306 is also required for this to fit on your 2011 Ram 1500. This does still require drilling into the frame of your vehicle so if you'd like to avoid that then you'll want to go with the Reese Custom-Install Kit # RP50142-58. Once you have these rails installed you will either need to use the 13K Demco Hijacker # DM8550040 autosliding 5th wheel hitch, or a stationary...
view full answer... - Recommended 5TH Wheel Hitch Installation Kit For a 2015 Ram 1500 For Curt Spyder GooseneckI recommend using the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16444-204 over the Universal Kit # C16200 you were looking at for your 2015 Ram 1500 with 6-1/2' bed. The custom kit means you will not have to drill through your frame to mount the frame brackets as it uses existing holes already in your frame. I have linked an installation video below to help you with the installation. This will allow you to use the Curt Spyder Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # 16085
view full answer... - Will the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rail Kit Work With a Reese 5th Wheel HitchThe Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails with Installation Kit part # C16200 will work with any Reese 5th Wheel Hitch that mounts to ISR rails. In regards to the pins used to secure the hitch to the rails, these come with the hitch but if you need them we do offer the Curt Hitch Pin and Clip part # F-4.

view full answer... - Custom Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for a 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500HD Long BedFor your 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500HD with an 8 foot bed I would recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Rail kit part # C16418-204 which has been confirmed as a fit for your truck. Since this is a custom fit kit it will install in about half the time as a universal and will minimize drilling. This rail kit will work well with the Q20 Fifth Wheel Hitch part # C16130 that you mentioned as well. I attached an install video for this rail kit for you to check out as well.

It will work for your 1994 Chevy K2500 if you have an 8 foot bed or if you have a rotating pin box to give you turning clearance. If you have the 6-1/2 foot bed with a standard pin box, then I recommend using a sliding hitch like Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R16 Roller, Rails and Universal Installation Kit, part # 16516 and # C16200 which are a fit.

They are the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches item # RP30035. These are confirmed to fit the 2002 Ram 2500 with the 6-1/2' and 8' bed lengths. I have linked an installation video below to help you get them set up. The Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails item # C16200 you were looking at fit the 2003 - 2012 Ram 2500s.

Depending on your gooseneck hitch it may impede you from being able to install the 5th Wheel Rails # C16200. These rails include universal mounting brackets to attach the rails to the frame. These will allow you to use a Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16115 which is our more economical combination for adding a 5th...

To avoid drilling into your frame I recommend using the Custom Install Kit # C65KR instead. Installation instructions have been linked for you to check out.
view full answer... - Compatibility of PullRite 4100 5th Wheel Hitch With Curt C16200 Universal 5th Wheel Install KitIf your Pullrite 4100 is compatible with Industry Standard or ISR rails, as they're sometimes referred to, then it will work great with the rails provided by the Curt # C16200 Universal 5th Wheel Rail/Bracket Kit you'd looked at. If you'd like to install a 7-way trailer connector in the truck bed, you can do so using # 50-97-410. This is a handy feature, with a connector in the truck bed, you won't need to run the trailer connector cable up over the tailgate.

These are both ISR base rails and any hitch made in recent years by a major brand will be ISR except for those made specifically for the respective OEM puck systems. ISR is named so because they are the most popular pattern so are now referred to as the "industry standard." Industry standard rails are slotted...
view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2012 Ram 1500 that Does Not Require DrillingUniversal fifth wheel rail kits like the Curt part # C16200 do require drilling into the frame and bed of the truck to install. A custom install kit designed specifically for your 2012 Ram 1500 like the Reese part # RP50142-58 will be a better option. No frame drilling is required at all. You'd only need to drill through the bed of the truck.

Because of the frame rail design on your Ram none of the universal brackets will fit, so a custom kit is required.

I reached out to Curt about this just to see what is going on here. They said you actually need part # C99BR, which is a custom bracket kit for your truck.
