2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

This is my first hitch. I decided to go this route after finding out the dealership wanted over 1500 to install rails hitch and plug.
Install was not too aweful bad I did the install in about 4 hours of everything. I took my time so nothing would be screwed up. The install videos where awesome and very discriptive.

For as expected, 10'is a bit long for a short bed truck, just had to coil up the extra and the it up under the bed. Works well though and installation was easy, no cutting wires!

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for an UnderBed Gooseneck Hitch on a 2006 Dodge Ram 3500
    I would be happy to help you. The B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # BWRVK3500-5W is only compatible with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch item # BWGNRK1313. If your 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 has a square gooseneck ball receiver in the bed then the B&W Companion will work with your truck. If your truck has a round receiver or one with threads then you will need to either replace that system or use a different 5th wheel hitch. The Demco Recon 5th Wheel Trailer...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Rail Kit for a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 Short Bed Truck
    There is actually a set of custom fit 5th wheel rails that will work with your Reese 30038 5th wheel hitch. It is the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails item # RP56011-53. This rail kit is custom fit and mounts in existing holes in your 2005 Ram 2500's frame. This custom fit option will significantly reduce your installation time. I have linked an installation video below.

  • Will Curt C61509-52 Overbed, Folding Ball Gooseneck Hitch Fit a 1996 Dodge Ram 2500
    According to Curt, the installation rails included with the # C61509-52 Gooseneck Hitch will fit 1500, 2500 and 3500 series models of the 1996 Dodge Ram truck, unless it's a cab/chassis truck instead of a pickup. If you'd like to install a 7-way trailer connector in the truck bed, you could do so using part # C56001.

  • Can I Transfer 5th Wheel Hitch Base Rails from a 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 to a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500
    Your 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 base rails can transfer to your 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 (because they are in the same generation). You will need to get new custom fit wiring # HM42137 (the 1999 custom fit wiring is # C56001) & replacement hardware kit for Draw-Tite and Reese 5th wheel hitches # 58164. I included a couple installation videos and a helpful article for you too.

  • Recommended Curt Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2007 Dodge Ram Short Bed
    To tow a fifth wheel trailer with your 2007 Dodge Ram with a 6-1/2 foot bed you will need to install base rails in your truck bed in order to mount a Curt sliding hitch. Base rails come with installation kits and there are two different options for an '07 Dodge Ram, depending on the model of your truck; I will list the kits and you can select the right one. Keep in mind these kits come with both the base rails and frame brackets so you do not need to purchase them separately. - 2007 Dodge...

The lowest-price option currently is the Curt # C16420-204 which includes the base rails, custom under-bed brackets and hardware. You can refer to the linked video for a complete illustration of the installation process. If you need a 5th wheel wiring harness for the truck bed you can use part # C56001 Since your truck is a short bed, slider type...

    For your 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 with an 8 foot bed, the measurement from the rear edge of the truck bed to the edge of the base rail is 32-7/16 inches for the Reese base rail kit that fits your truck, which is the following part: - Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP30035 I have added a link below to the installation instructions, and you can see this on page 13.

  • 5th Wheel Hitch Type and Installation Kit for 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Short Bed
    If the hitch from the 2017 Ram is intended for the factory puck system, such as the B&W # BWRVK3670, then it cannot be installed in a truck with standard 5th wheel base rails. Your 6-foot bed Ram 2500 needs to use a sliding-type 5th wheel hitch like Curt # C16541 in order to have the turning clearance required to avoid the trailer overhang contacting the truck cab. The easiest base rail installation in your 2006 Ram 2500 will be with a custom install kit that requires less drilling. I...

  • Industry Standard Rails for a Curt E16 5th Wheel Hitch on a 2008 Dodge Ram
    For your 2008 Dodge Ram, you can use the Demco Hijacker Premier Series Above-Bed Base Rails and Custom Installation Kit # DM8552016-71. This will provide you with industry standard rails. As long as your E16 5th wheel hitch uses industry standard mounting points then you will be good to go. You can also add the Curt 5th Wheel Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector # C56001 to make hooking up your 5th wheels wiring easier.

  • Recommended Fifth Wheel Install Bracket/Rail Kit for 1997 Dodge Ram 3500 Dually
    Actually, B & W Hitch offer a reasonably priced 5th wheel bracket/rail kit that works with industry standard rail compatible hitches like your Husky. I'd recommend the # BWRVR3200 install kit. The bed rails are compatible with hitches from Reese, Draw-Tite, Husky, Curt , B & W, Demco and Valley among others. If you don't already have a 7-way trailer connector in the truck bed, you can install one using part # C56001

    Yes, we do and thanks for the picture! The Reese Kwik Slide's use industry standard 5th wheel rails.

  • Is 7 Foot Long 5th Wheel Trailer Wiring Harness Long Enough for an 8 Foot Truck Bed
    The 7 foot long Curt fifth wheel wiring harness your purhcased, part # C56071, should fit just fine in your truck even with the 8 foot bed. However, you probably will only be able to reach the rear part of the bed behind the wheel wells. There is the 10 foot version, part # C56001, which will likely increase your options as to where in the bed you can install it due to the added length.

  • Curt No-Drill 5th Wheel Installation Kit for 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 Quad Cab
    Yes, you do have the correct Curt 5th wheel install kit for your 2005 Dodge Ram 2500, which is the Curt Custom, No-Drill Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit for Dodge Ram # C16420. This will work for your truck, and you only need to add base rails if you don't have them, the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails - Gloss Black Finish # C16104 or Carbide Black Finish # C16204.

  • Auto Slide 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2008 Dodge Ram 3500
    We have exactly what you need. The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550037 is an auto slide 5th wheel hitch with a 21,000 lb. capacity and there is no need for a separate capture plate for standard pin boxes.

  • Troubleshooting Short to Battery Message with Prodigy P3 Controller When it Rains
    Water is seeping into the new 7-way most likely and is causing a short between the 12 volt output circuit and the brake output circuit. The water is somehow getting introduced into the round connector behind the 7-way. It could also be at the 7-way at the rear of the vehicle too. I'd recommend taking the connector apart to allow it to dry and then using dielectric grease like part # 11755 which will prevent the water from getting back in.

  • Is a Sidewinder Pin Box Compatible With a B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch?
    To use any Sidewinder pin box, you will not be able to keep your B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck hitch because it is not made for the torque when turning required for that system. No adapter will solve this. However, there is still a way to allow you to tow a gooseneck trailer using a 5th wheel rail kit. You have a couple options. If you want to keep a clean bed, then you can use the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP30074 to give you...

  • Curt 5th Wheel Base Rail Kit Options for 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel 4x4 Pickup
    For your 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel 4x4 pickup you can use Curt Universal Base Rail Kit # C16200 as long as the truck does not have overload brackets. Universal kits cost a little less but they require more drilling and a longer overall installation time. The fastest and easiest 5th wheel base rail installation comes from using a custom-fit kit # C16420-204 that includes custom frame brackets that use existing holes in the frame. This means a lot less drilling. Semi-Custom kit # C16301-200...

For your 1995 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 long bed we offer the Husky kit # HT31404-686 which does still require some frame drilling for installation but less than universal kits like # RP30035. We do offer other kits that do not require any frame drilling. These are the B&W Underbed Installation Kit # BWGNRK1394-5W that works with their Companion 5th wheel hitch # BWRVK3500-5W.

    I have a solution for you, it sounds like you have the 5th wheel hitch and the actual rails the hitch attaches too but are needing the custom mounting hardware for your 1999 Dodge Ram Pickup. You are going to better off getting a new set of mounting hardware and rails because the mounting hardware needs to match your truck and the rails.

  • Recommended 20K Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch and Install Kit for 2008 Dodge Ram 6 Bed Mega Cab
    Reese and Curt both make quality 5th wheel hitches. At a given price point a Curt 5th wheel can tend to include more features than a similar Reese or Pro Series. For example, Curt A20 Sliding 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16541 features a 360-degree pivoting cushioned head. The Curt will make hitching easier (thanks to the 360-pivoting head) and deliver a smoother ride (thanks to the cushioning). The Curt A20 also has a smaller price tag AND a 10-year warranty, as compared to the Reese hitch's...

  • Will Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness Fit a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500

  • Where Should King Pin Sit in the Bed of a 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 for 5th Wheel Towing
    Typically the king pin will be located directly above, or slightly forward of the rear axle on any given pickup. If you were to install a universal base rail kit like the Reese # RP30035 on your 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 the (linked) instructions state that the king pin will be about 2" forward of the axle center.
