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.

Products arrived in Alaska within a couple of days of making the order online. Easy to find the product needed on the website. Great installation instructions, both video and written. Perfect fit with no fuss.

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 2005 and 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 w/ 6 Foot Bed
    The Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16265 referenced in your question is compatible with standard, above-bed base rails. If there are standard, above-bed base rails installed on both the 2005 and 2006 Dodge Ram 3500, then this hitch will technically fit either truck. However, since you mentioned that your truck has a shorter, 6 foot bed, it is instead recommended to use a sliding 5th-wheel hitch in order to provide proper clearance when making turns. I recommend looking at the Curt...

  • Is there a 7-Way Extension that is 12 to 18 Inches Long
    It will require a little hardwiring but you can use extension # PK11-934. One end plugs into the back of a standard US car connector 7-Way. The other end has blunt cut wires that will need to be spliced into the existing harness you have. Another option would be to cut the wiring harness somewhere and splice in additional wires using # DW04914-1 which is sold by the foot. I recommend 2 feet in case you need some slack so you would enter 2 in the quantity box. I recommend using heat shrink...

  • Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch For 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 Short Bed
    Yes, you definitely can tow a 1999 Jayco Eagle model 211 with a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 short bed. I recommend going with the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R16 Slider - Dual Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16521 and the Curt Semi-Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Dodge Ram 1500 - Carbide Finish # C16303-200. You will need a slider because of the box length. If you do not get a sliding hitch or a rotating pinbox you will cause damage to your tow vehicle and or the 5th wheel. You will also...

  • Which 5th Wheel Base Rails Are Correct For 2000 Dodge Dakota?
    For your 2000 Dodge Dakota you will want to install B&W Universal Base Rails # BWRVR3200. This fits your vehicle and offers compatibility with any standard 5th wheel hitch such as B&W Patriot, Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, and Reese. If you don't already own a compatible 5th wheel hitch then I would go with a sliding hitch so that you have more turning clearance. The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Dual Jaw - 18,000 lbs # BWRVK3270 would be a great option to fit...

  • 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.

  • Best Underbed Fifth Wheel Towing Setup Recommendation for a 1995 Dodge Ram 2500
    For an underbed fifth wheel setup confirmed to fit your 1995 Dodge Ram 2500 with an 8 foot bed you would want the B and W Companion hitch setup that consists of part numbers # BWRVK3500-5W for the fifth wheel hitch and then part # BWGNRK1394-5W for the underbed kit. This is the only underbed setup available for your truck, but the great news is that the Companion hitch is often referred to as the best fifth wheel hitch around. You will really like this hitch and it costs less than the...

  • 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.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch and Installation Kit for 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Mega Cab Pickup
    The main benefit of a 5th wheel hitch that has a 4-way pivoting head is easier hitching and un-hitching. The ability to pivot in all directions means the head will be better able to shift as required to accept the king pin, and of course to release it too. Ride quality is not so much a benefit of this feature. Since your trailer has a Lippert Turning Point pivoting pin box for improved turning clearance you can use a fixed (non-sliding and non-cushioned) type 5th wheel hitch. For an above-bed...

  • 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.

  • 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. To make towing with a 5th wheel easier I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck...

  • Curt E16 5th Wheel Hitch Compatibility with 2005 Ram 2500 and 11,200 lb 5th Wheel Trailer
    The Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16115 is large enough to tow a 11,200 lbs trailer regardless of the length. For your 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 long bed I recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Dodge Ram - Carbide Finish # C16420-204 which will fit your truck frame without any drilling. Your other option is to use the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails with Installation Kit - Carbide Black Finish # C16200 which will require drilling...

  • Reese 5th Wheel Installation Bracket Kit for 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Mega Cab
    For a custom 5th wheel installation bracket kit for your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Mega Cab to install your Reese base rails you can use # RP50140. For hardware to secure the rails to the brackets use part # RP58430. If you need a 5th wheel wiring harness for the truck bed you can use part # C56001.

  • 5th Wheel Installation Kit for 1998 Dodge Ram Pickup
    We do have 5th wheel hitch installation kits that include the frame brackets, hardware and hitch base rails. These are industry-standard rails that work with all brands of standard 5th wheel hitch. I recommend the Husky custom install kit # HT31404-686. This kit fits both 6-foot and 8-foot bed models. Drilling is required. There is not a no-drill kit for your truck. For an in-bed wiring harness you can use part # C56001.

  • 5th Wheel Sliding Hitch Compatibility With Gooseneck Underbed Hitch
    With your current gooseneck hitch, you can use the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Trailer Hitches - 20,000 lbs # C16210 that SHOULD be compatible with your gooseneck hitch. Based on all I can research it looks like it will fit, but I can't confirm it because I cannot test it. For your 5th wheel hitch, I recommend a sliding hitch like the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R20 Slider - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs # C16541. You may also want to consider...

  • 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...

  • Recommended Truck Bed Wiring for a 1997 Dodge Ram

For just a replacement 7-way you would need the part # PK11893.

  • Replacing Factory 7-Way and In-Bed 7-Way Trailer Connectors on a 1999 Dodge Ram 2500
    For your 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 with factory 7-Way you can use 5th wheel/gooseneck wiring harness # C56071 for a 7-foot-long model or # C56001 for a 10-foot model. For the rear 7-Way you can use 7-Way # PK11893 if the harness on the back of your 7-Way is the standard round US car connector. If it isn't then you would also need # PK11998 and would need to hardwire it in by function by testing the wires on the truck with a circuit tester such as # PTW2993.

  • 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...

  • Recommended Install Kit for Valley 5th Wheel Hitch on 1998 Dodge Ram 2500
    Although Valley is not around any longer, we used to carry their products so I can say with confidence that their fifth wheel hitches were compatible with industry standard bed rails constructed by Reese, Curt Husky and others. Reese offers a Universal fifth wheel hitch install kit, part # RP30035 that uses industry standard fifth wheel bed rails that would be compatible with your Valley sliding hitch. This is a similar kit to the Curt # C16200. Since your truck bed is 8 feet long, you...
