Video Transcript for Curt Fifth Wheel Installation Kit - Custom - C16441-204 Review

Today we're going to take a look at the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit with the Carbide Finish Rail for the Ford F-150 truck. Now this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 2004 to 2014 Ford F-150 trucks with either the 6 1/2 foot bed or the 8 foot bed. Now on any custom fit part I always like to recommend for you to go to our website, use our fit guide, put in your year, model, vehicle, and it will show if this will work for your application. Now these custom brackets right here are designed to mount beneath your truck bed. They provide the attachment points for your fifth wheel rails to attach to. Now these are custom fit brackets.

They mount to existing holes in your vehicles frame. This will help minimize the amount of drilling that's required and the installation time is cut in half when compared with the universal bracket systems. Now the base rails themselves right here, these are what will attach to the mounting brackets. The base rails are what will sit in your truck bed and allows the installation of your fifth wheel trailer hitch to your vehicle. These are visible above bed rails. Now this part number happens to have nice carbide finish to them and this part does include everything shown here on the table.

The two above bed base rails, the two mounting brackets, one for each side of the vehicle, all the mounting hardware needed to install everything, and a nice set of detailed instructions. Now this kit will work with fifth wheel hitches from Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, Reece, and Valley. That should do it for the review on the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit with the Carbide Finish Rails for the Ford F-150 trucks.

Unfortunately it was missing a bunch of nuts, bolts and square hole washers. Called and they have been sent. I've improvised in the meantime to complete the install. Not so easy to install. Had to put the front carriage bolts upside down as I couldn't fit my hand between the frame and the bed to start the nut.

Works great

2014 Ford F-150

Order arrived very quickly. Package and contents in great shape. Have not installed as of yet because still waiting on the ORDERED NEW Truck. Have test fitted to another like vehicle and see no problems. Have also test fitted my older Reese 14K 5th wheel hitch to the Curt rails, again no problems. Appear identical except for 3 additional holes in each base rail as compared to the original Reese rails. Have ordered from etrailer.com before and always satisfied with there products, service, quality, timeliness, and more.



by:
2013 Ford F-150

Installed in 2013 F-150 61/2 ft bed. Everything fit as it should. Directions were pretty straight forward. Have a long handled 3/4 open or box end wrench on hand. No room for ratchet . Lightly tape front nuts and spacers together and slide under bolt and start threads from above. They are carriage bolts but long enough to start threads. You'll see what I mean. All parts included, frame brackets fit perfectly. Very satisfied with Curt c16441-204 fifth wheel installation kit and etrailer. I've dealt with etrailer before and never had a problem.




by:

Ellen was very good assisting me with my first purchase from etrailer.
We discussed options about 5th wheels vs gooseneck with adapter.
The recommendation was a fifth wheel, then she suggested the curt with 360 swivel and cushioned. I have been greatly pleased with this setup.
My wife and I completed the installion in 3 1/2 hrs.
I'll be doing more business with etrailer.
Thanks James
Note: have pulled 6000 lb camper about 3 trips, handles great

2014 Ford F-150

I have been using this hitch for a year now. Very easy smooth operation. There is a little noise when towing, but after I added some grease, It has been a pretty quiet hitch. Easy installation with the large brackets and very solid.



by:
2010 Ford F-150

Had products within 5 days and this including Saturday and Sunday. The mounting brackets match up to truck perfectly. only needed to remove the spare tire. did right on the floor of my garage. It was a two person operation getting bolts. total worth spending extra to avoid drilling in to the frame. 3 to 4 hours to complete project. that includes installing the hitch and clean up.



by:

So far so good haven’t had a chance to install yet but will update when I do. Everything was came in 2 boxes but looks like shipping company had a hard time with it lol boxes were pretty rough shap but looks like nothing is missing



by:

Great easy to install hawever no longer own but will be buying from etrailer for next set on new truck.

Was easy to install



by:

The brackets went on the frame with the help of included wire devices to thred the bolts through the frame existing holes. They support the rails nicely and have performed as advertised. I would buy them again.



by:
2013 Ford F-150

Installed in my 2013 f150. Everthing fit perfectly. Very pleased. It took longer than I figured because I have the plastic wheel wells on this pickup. And they dont come out easily. So worked around them.



by:

Great kit, had a hitch already and just neede the plates and brakets for the frame so this kit was perfect. nice hardware, clear instructions and fit perfect, would definately buy again



by:

Got the fifth wheel home (3 hr trip) after purchase, then it sat for the last year. No issues except no place to go for a year. Hopefully, this year will be better,



by:
Ford F-150

The product was very well built. It was a fairly easy install on my F-150, the only real problem was installing the front bolt of the rail it is in a tight area. Price was exceptional compared to local RV store, I like buying local but $100 dollars in savings had to buy at etrailer. Sales staff excellent and price awesome!



by:

Nice install everything fit just right. Product is everything they said instructions were clear and easy to follow. The shipping was right on time and everyone at Etrailer was very helpful I would order from them again .



by:

Perfect fit great packaging. Not quite sure how to torque the bolts when you can’t get a socket between the frame and bracket thanks very good website



by:

Kit came on day promised. Assembled easily with instructions provided. Karen in customer service was very helpful and more than willing to spend as much time as needed to make Sure i ordered what I needed

  • Will the Curt Fifth Wheel Rail Kit C16441-204 Fit a 2013 Ford F-150 Heavy Duty PayLoad
    The Curt fifth wheel rail kit part # C16441-204 that you referenced will fit your 2013 Ford F-150 with the Heavy Duty Payload package. The frame design on your truck is similar enough to the standard frame that there would be no issue. For a 7-way to install in the bed of your truck to make connecting your trailer lights easier you would want the part # 41157. Most 7-ways will be at the rear of the truck near the bumper which doesn't work will with fifth wheel hitches.

    Yes, the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Rails and Universal Installation Kit part # C16116 will fit your 2012 Ford F-150 but you will need drill into the frame in order to mount the rails. In order to use the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16115 without drilling into the frame you can use the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ford F150 part # C16441-204 instead.

But the only one from Husky that fits your truck is # HT31564-686 and it measures 26-1/4 inches from the back edge of the bed to the back for the REAR rail.

    Your question came in blank, but it looks like you might be looking for a 5th wheel hitch and rail kit for your 2005 Ford F-150 with a short bed. First lets start with a rail kit. For that you would want the Curt 5th Wheel Rail Kit part # C16441-204. For a hitch you would want the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R16 Roller # 16516.

    I will be happy to help you select a 5th wheel hitch and installation kit for your 2012 Ford F-150. First, if you have an 8 foot bed, I recommend custom installation kit # C16441-204. Custom installation kits are preferred because most, including this one, do not require drilling into the truck frame for installation. For a hitch, I recommend going with a 16K hitch, # C16120. This hitch features a 360 degree cushioned head for a better ride. If your truck has a 6-1/2 foot bed you can...

  • How to Make Sure 5th Wheel Rails are Square and Straight before Mounting Trailer Hitch
    We have always found the Lil Rocker as a fit for industry standard rails. It is possible like you said that it was twisted or bend somehow. You can also check that the rails are lined up properly by measuring from the center of the outside mounting slot diagonally to the center of the opposite slot on the other rail. Then repeat with the other side outside slot. The measurements should be the same. If not then the rails are not square. Take a look at the picture to see what I mean. I...

This is a slider hitch and is recommended for short bed trucks for additional clearance. To mount this 5th wheel in your truck, use rail installation kit, # C16441-204, which will put rails in your truck bed into which the 5th wheel hitch will be installed.

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Kit to Fit 2004 Ford F-150 and Reese Fifth Wheel Hitch
    To use the Reese fifth wheel hitch you have in the bed of your 2004 Ford F-150 is going to require you to install a set of fifth wheel rails in the bed of the truck that attach to the frame of the truck through the bed. This is how all hitches install in truck beds. So what you'd want is the Curt Custom Rail Kit part # C16441-204 as this is a custom fit kit that would not require drilling into your vehicle frame which minimizes install time. This also is priced great too so it's by far...

  • Will Curt E16 Fifth Wheel Hitch Fit Husky Base Rails on 2001 Ford F-250?
    Your Curt E16 # C16115 will fit industry standard rails which are 22 inches apart like those from Husky. I am unsure of the model of rails you already have, but the correct Curt rails for your 2001 Ford F-250 Super Duty are # C16443-204, which are different than the # C16300-204 and # # C16441-204 rails that fit a 2004 F-150.

Due to that your best option to pull a fifth wheel with this truck is a new fifth wheel hitch along with an installation kit and base rails that are compatible.

    The Curt 5th wheel installation brackets # C16441 are a fit for the 2010 Ford F-150 6-1/2 foot and 8 foot beds. These are just the brackets though and do not include the rails. Brackets and rails from different manufacturers should not be mixed because the capacity cannot be verified and they have not been tested together. For the complete kit use # C16441-204.

For a custom kit that is listed as a fit you can use Reese installation kit # RP50081-58.
