Video Transcript for Curt Fifth Wheel Installation Kit C16104 Review

Today we're going to take a look at the Curt universal fifth wheel base rails with the gloss finish. These base rails will install in your truck bed to provide the necessary attachment points for your fifth wheel trailer hitch. These rails are a sturdy steel construction, has a nice high gloss black powder coat finish on it to help resist corrosion. They're also cold cured in a rust resistant liquid Bonderite coating. These are compatible with above bed fifth wheel hitches from Curt, Drawtite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, Reese, and Valley. They are also designed to work with goose neck adapters.

This part will include the two base rails. It does require a custom installation kit with the mounting brackets and hardware to install this on your vehicle. We do sell that separately on our website. What I would recommend for that is you need to go to our website, use our fit guide. Put in your year, make, and model vehicle and it'll show you what custom installation kit is required to put these rails on your vehicle. Total length on these rails is 43 inches long.

That should do it for the review on the Curt universal fifth wheel base rails in the high gloss finish.

needed them quickly and at a good price etrailer delivered as usual



by:

After placing the order for the universal rails I received a call from a rep suggesting I purchase the custom fit for my Ram 3500 which I did. The directions were straight forward and the install was too bad. I was concerned that a couple of the bolts came down in a location where torquing the nuts was not possible. I have checked several times and they are still very tight. I recommend these as they work great with my hitch.



by:

etrailer had the best prices and the best availability I could find! Not to mention the customer service, Stacey went WAY above and beyond and worked very hard finding and getting us what we needed in a timely manner! She was very knowledgeable and helpful making sure I got what I needed! I can’t thank etrailers and Stacey enough!!



by:

EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED AND DISAPPOINTED to say the least I placed the order online and it was a week late then the time it was supposed to be delivered that in itself was frustrating I need to deliver a fifth wheel trailer to a customer so that caused a delay but times are tuff so things happen I let the customer know so I waited finally received the package and it was taped at all corners once I opened it the hardware bag was opened and missing 3 pieces which keep me from installing the hitch brackets reached out and talk to a customer rep to get the missing parts shipped she said it would be expedited I just noticed that the parts won’t make it in till literally a whole week after my call to them about missing parts that my friends is not expediting! The customer is rightfully upset. I would have paid for them to express mail the parts even if it was their responsibility in order for me to provide good customer service on my end. Now I need to hire someone else to deliver the trailer. I’m very disappointed on how etrailer handled this turning this purchase into a regretful one.



by:

Super quick shipping. It arrived a day ahead of schedule.



by:

Great product - everything needed in the box. As previous reviews state, not too bad installing except the front driver side near the gas tank was an absolute nightmare. Hitch fit perfectly in the rails after install. Can't beat etrailer's support and guidance such as the video to help with install.



by:

We have not had our tails installed yet, however I was extremely impressed with how fast the product shipped. Personally I feel that company’s are using covid as an excuse for poor customer service. NOT ETRAILER. Will def be ordering from them again in the future.



by:

Nice Rails for my new truck. The powder coating was very nice looking and appears durable. The customer service at Etrailer is superior!



by:

I paid for two day shipping and I received the product on the third day. It looks like a great product it will not fit my hitch.



by:

Good product fit perfect to holes for Reese rails



by:

Once again, EXCELLENT product sent quickly. Every time I have ordered something from etrailer it has gone perfectly.



by:

Install took about 30 minutes with the brackets. Perfect fit



by:

Description was correct.. fitment worked great

with a good finish and are of adequate strength.

  • Will Curt 5th Wheel Installation Kit Fit 2005 Chevy Silverado 2500 With Short Bed
    Yes, the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit for Chevy/GMC # C16418 will absolutely fit your 2005 Chevy Silverado 2500 with a short bed. This bracket kit is also the best option for your truck because it does not require any drilling into your frame rails to install. This install kit does require the use of Curt Fifth Wheel Base Rails # C16204 (Carbide Black Finish) or # C16104 (Gloss Finish), both of which will mount a Curt 20K sliding fifth wheel hitch. These parts also come as a kit,...

  • Recommended Curt 5th Wheel Rails and Replacement Hardware
    Yes, you can. You will need the Curt Universal 5th Wheel Base Rails item # C16104 and the Replacement Hardware for Curt Universal 5th Wheel Installation Kit item # C16111. These will match up perfectly with the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Bracket Kit item # C86WR you already purchased. Please note that the hardware kit will supply hardware for both the rails to be installed and the brackets. There is no option for a hardware kit that only installs the rails. There are quite a few different size...

    We do have no-drill 5th wheel brackets which are a fit for your 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500. The correct fit for your truck is the following: - Curt Custom 5th Wheel Bracket Kit for Chevy/GMC Truck # C16429 This bracket kit will install onto your Chevy without any drilling, though they do require you use the Curt above-bed base rails (all 5th wheel brackets need to use the same manufacturer's base rails in order to fit).

  • Fifth Wheel Mounting Brackets for 2016 Toyota Tundra
    Mounting brackets for your 2016 Toyota Tundra are available by themselves, though the correct fit will depend on the rails you have, as well as your bed size. If your Tundra has a 6-1/2 foot bed and you have Curt base rails # C16104 or # C16204 you need Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit for Toyota Tundra # C16468. Alternatively, if you have Reese base rails # RP58058, Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit # RP50084 will fit any of the bed sizes for your '16 Tundra. If you let me know...

  • Measurement of Curt Fifth Wheel Base Rails
    I went to the warehouse to take some measurements of the Curt # C16104 base rails and found that they are 43" long and roughly 5-5/8" wide. I have added a photo showing some of the dimensions of the mounting holes for you as well. Center to center, the closest holes are roughly 10" apart, the second set of mounting holes is 20-1/2" while the third set is 29" apart. I have also added a link to a video review of these rails for you to take a look at.

  • 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation Kit for 2014 Ram 2500 and SuperGlide ISR Hitch
    For your 2014 Ram 2500 you can use Curt installation kit # C16427-204. This is a custom installation kit which means you will not have to drill in to the truck frame to install the underbed brackets. This means that the kit will install faster and easier than semi-custom or universal kits. Since you are going to get the SuperGlide hitch that fits industry standard rails (ISR) (I believe it is the 2700 model) then it will fit these rails!

  • Compatibility of Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit # C16420 With B and W Hitch
    The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit, part # C16420, is designed to be used with Curt base rails # C16104 or # C16204. It will fit 2006 to 2008 Dodge Ram Mega Cab and 2003 to 2012 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 with overload springs, including Mega Cab. I would recommend to use installation brackets and base rails from the same manufacturer. I do not recommend mixing manufacturers for rails and brackets as there could be any number of compatibility problems. The Curt base rails are compatible...

    Yes, the bracket kit part # C16427 that you referenced will work with the same rails that come with the Curt universal rail kit part # C16100 that you mentioned as well. Another option would be to just order the rails by themselves with part # C16104.

To go along with the brackets you'll also need some base rails like # C16204 (carbide finish) or # C16104 (gloss finish).

Please keep in mind this bracket kit will require base rails # C16104 (Gloss Black Finish) or # C16204 (Carbide Black Finish).

  • Could Curt Above Bed Rails Work with Pullrite Hitch
    It depends on which version of the Superglide fifth wheel hitch you have. If it's an ISR version that means it works with industry standard rails like the part # C16104 that you referenced. If its the version that only attaches to the Pullrite rails we wouldn't be able to help.

  • Brackets Needed to Install Curt 5th Wheel Base Rails on a 2017 Ford F-150
    It sounds like you have the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails # C16104 that you're wanting to install on your 2017 Ford F-150. With this being the case I recommend getting the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit # C86WR which comes with custom brackets (which means no drilling into your truck frame) and replacement hardware to get everything installed correctly. These rails and brackets give you the complete kit # C93WR which fits all bed sizes for your 2017 F-150. Please let me know...

  • Curt 5th Wheel Rail Custom Bracket Installation on a 2005 Ford F-350
    You are correct. There are 4 bolts that only get attached to the bed itself when using the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit # C16448 and rails # C16104 (gloss black) or # C16204 (carbide/matte black). I've attached a video of this installation to assist. You may also want to consider adding a second 7-way like the Mighty Cord 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector - 7' Long # A10-7007 which will give you a clean look and easy connection access when towing.

I have added a link to a video review of the bracket kit for you to take a look at as well as links to video reviews of the rails.

  • What Brackets and Rails Are Needed to Install an RBW Lil Rocker Fifth Wheel in a 2007 Ram 3500
    Custom fit brackets do work better in a sense. The installation time is reduced dramatically because custom fit brackets uses as many factory holes as possible so most of the time you do not have to drill any new holes in the truck frame. Part # C16419 will not fit your Ram 3500, those brackets are meant for Ram 1500. For your 2007 Ram 3500 w/ Overload, you would use Curt part # C16420. We also recommend matching the brackets to the rails. It ensures that the holes in the rails will line...

  • Recommendation For a Fifth Wheel Slider Hitch and Base Rails on 2005 Ford F-250
    Since you are asking about a slider hitch it probably means your 2005 Ford F-250 has the 6-1/2 foot bed. My recommendation for a 16K slider hitch would be the Reese 16K Round Tube Slider Hitch, part # RP30075. I really like the round tube slider, as sometimes the square tube model sliders can bind, making the hitch difficult to slide back and forth. The round tube slider hitch will also give you 12 inches of travel towards the tailgate, compared to the 10 inches with a square tube slider...

  • Replacement Base Rail Brackets For A Curt E-16 Hitch In A 2013 GMC Sierra
    Since you're looking at base rail kits I'm assuming you're looking the brackets that mount the rails to the frame of your Sierra. If your have Curt rails ( # C16104 or # C16204) then you'll need part # C16400 for a 1500 or part # C16411 for a 2500/3500. If you have different rails I would need to know the exact model in order to find the appropriate brackets. If you're looking for something else then just take a picture of it and send me it and I'd be happy to look for a replacement.
