Simple, Secure Hookup
With a dual-pivoting head that offers 10 degrees of lateral movement, the E16 fifth-wheel hitch makes hookup a snap, even on unlevel ground. Once the king pin slides into the hitch, the auto-locking, slide-bar jaw secures it in place. A unique feature of the E16 is the rear steel tension bar within the jaw that activates upon hookup to clamp down on the king pin, providing a tighter grip that maximizes security and minimizes rattle.

After ordering rails for a fifth wheel that I had in an older truck, I was told the rails I ordered would work with my fifth wheel, however after installing the front rail, the fifth wheel would not work with the rails ordered. I ended up ordering a new fifth wheel plate. That was easier than removing the frame brackets I had already installed. It appears that there was a mis communication between the person I talked to with etrailer. Instead of a 1/2 day install it took a day and a half plus wait time for the fifth wheel to get to my address. However once installed it appears to be good.
by: Park05/17/2023
The hitch worked great. Reason for the 2 stars is the package got delayed twice in transit and I had to reschedule the pickup of my fifth wheel. When I also received the package the main crossmember bar was bent at the mounting point. Luckily I was able to bend it back but UPS needs to get there act together.
by: Julio11/09/2017
Well packed, free 5 days shipping, easy to assemble and nice looking hitch. Im extra amazed because i can remove the king pin base/head from the bridge leg assembly to easily transport them. Still not tested with the coach. Practically no lateral movement and have the suspicion bushings. Very firm and easy mechanisms. Do not leave the gate open for long term because could damage the main spring. I plan to pull a 11k 334FWFLS. Nothing compared to this hitch in this price range. I will add some extra feedback after couple travels.
by: Kyle12/10/2023
Great price and works really well with the camper im pulling with no issues what so ever even sits low enough to have my bed cover on without removing any parts of the hitch
by: Terry03/27/2022
The hitch looks great as shipped from etrailer. The problem was UPS destroyed the package and hitch. I have just started the claims process through UPS. I have always had great success with everything coming from etrailer until now. It was obvious the box had been dropped numerous times. It had been retapped a few times trying to hold it together. The steel crossmember was bent in two directions. It cannot be used which makes this hitch worthless. I see no fault with etrailer (except I recommend putting the cardboard package inside a heavier box to help UPS prevent damage). This package is around ninety pounds shipping in a thin cardboard box. I will be ordering a new hitch from etrailer and hoping for a better shipping experience. I have to postpone my vacation due to not having a working hitch.

I have hauled a 34 foot toyhauler hundreds of miles with this hitch,very happy and would suggest it to anyone.
by: Charles03/27/2020
The hitch arrived very fast, and was boxed well. It doesn't come assembled in order to reduce the shipping size, but it's super easy to assemble. Just four 1/2" bolts attach the legs to the main crossmember, and one small 3/16" bolt attaches the lever release arm. In all, it only took about 15 minutes to assemble and set in the truck. It even comes with the hitch pins needed to install on your rails. The only thing you'll need that's not included is about 4 to 8, 1/2" washers. Very happy with the hitch, and always look to etrailer.com for my replacement hauling/trailer parts!
by: T Purdy05/30/2019
Haven't had a chance to use the hitch yet but I got it installed without too much trouble. It took about 4 hours to install, the frame mounting brackets and rails, at a leisurely pace. The unit seems to be very sturdy and it is certainly built heavy. I'm looking forward to testing it out soon.
by: Brian T07/15/2016
I bought the curt fifth wheel and base to convert my B&W turnover ball and this thing fits perfectly it went together smoothly and in under an hour easily highly reccomend
by: Jack02/20/2024
Used this 3 times and didn’t like the clunking. Should have expected the clunking with a slide bar type hitch. Purchased a Demco Recon which I like very much
by: Robert06/15/2024
Came super dry. Even after lubing it I had to hammer the crap out of it with a rubber mallet to get the slide bar jaw to open on several occasions. Seemed like lots of welding spatter left on moving parts also, so overall quality is somewhat suspect. It's a cheaper unit so you get what you pay for I suppose. While in use it works fine and allowed very little chucking.
by: Tony02/07/2019
Its a great product and with the rail kit it makes an awesome beast for towing. It has provided great service and satisfaction so far.
by: 01/26/2024
A little disappointing. The fit was good, and installation easy. But it was missing one of the critical long carriage bolts and spacer.
I didn't have time to send it back, so I had to fabricated a solution since I pick my new camper up in a few days.
Missing hardware definitely added to installation time.

Easy installation. Fast shipping

I just installed the Curt E 16 fifth wheel hitch and it looks great
by: Al09/20/2020
E-trailer made the order process very easy, and the shipping was much faster than I expected. The boxes arrived in fairly good condition, but the hitch arms were scratched up due to poor internal packaging. Since the hitch was packed in an E-Trailer box, I assume they repackaged this product.
Otherwise, the Curt hitch and custom rails seem to be very good products for the money!

The E16 hitch is adequate. I get a lot of clunking when starting and stopping due to the straight locking bar style hitch. I wish now that I would have spent more money and got a hitch that had locking jaws that clamped around the pin.
by: John 05/24/2024
Now that's a hitch!! Great set up for the money!!
by: Chris 05/16/2020
It is just what I wanted, coming from the world of big trucks, I wanted a hitch that auto snaps closed, it does just that, it mounted right in my old Reese plate system on 22” center, so far I am very happy not only with the hitch, but also the price and the customer service from
E trailer, thanks for the support . Chris S.

I still love it less work for me, you back in it locks your done, and unlock is easy pull the handle never sticks love it!!!
by: Kurtis09/08/2022
The customer service with etrailer was awful. Thier system showed an incorrect part for my vehicle and they admitted that but between the shipping mess back and forth. I would of liked a discount or a faster shipment on the correct parts that were already opened and missing hardware. Never again. Good thing its only a fifth wheel assembly and doesnt require quality hardware.
by: William B01/31/2020
This hitch was very easy to put on. We use it to pull our camper several times last summer. We have not had any problems hooking or unhooking from the hitch. Looking forward to another season camping. Thanks etrailer

Still working great. We used it alot last summer and plan on putting it to good use this summer.
by: Joe T10/29/2019
First the bolts were a little short. But they quickly sent longer ones. Slightly tight fitting in bed rails. Used it once got more tight. After the second time had to use two by four to pop it out.. After a couple more tines of use it won’t budge at all. I think the hitch is spreading out. Wouldn’t have taken much to beef it up with some kid of support going across near the bottom. Not as much side to side tip of the 5th wheel plate as advertised. Get much more than 1 1/2” you have to put block under the truck wheels to get unhooked. A little forward and backward movement of 5th wheel pin but not bad. Other wise it works good.
by: Hank 12/02/2022
excellent customer service!!!! will deal with Alex again if more trailer/hitch parts are needed. Happy Hoildays to all
by: Catherine 08/15/2022
We had our other truck stolen with the 5 th wheel hitch and many other possessions in it. This company shipped us another hitch quickly for our new truck and other needed equipment we needed to get back on the road. Thank you
by: Don03/24/2022
The hitch was damaged in shipping. They replaced it quickly. Their customer service was a pleasant surprise. They also have excellent installation videos. I recommend etrailer for their prices and customer service.
by: Mark02/16/2022
Great entry level fifth wheel, I don’t use it on a daily basis but have used it enough to say it is a great entry level fifth wheel, it does have some slack because it is a slide-bar hitch, but other than that it works great with no problems.

- 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Installation Kit for a 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 w/5-1/2 Foot Bed and Ram BoxSince your 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 has the 5-1/2 foot bed with the Ram Box feature there are special requirements if you want to tow a 5th wheel trailer. Basically you will need to replace the factory pin box on the trailer with a Sidewinder. The Sidewinder moves the trailer pivot point back 22 inches and the narrow bed on Ram Box models won't be a factor because the arm of the Sidewinder stays straight and won't hit the bed sides on turns. Before anything else we have to see if there is a...
view full answer... - Recommended 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Gooseneck Hitch for 2015 RAM 2500 64 Inch Bed with Ram BoxThe Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Single Jaw - 21,000 lbs # DM8550045 is not a good option for your 2015 Ram short box with Ram Box. The issue with Ram Box is that it limits the ability to use a 5th wheel hitch because the boxes get in the way of the Pin Box on your trailer. The only option for Ram Box is to use a standard hitch (not a gooseneck adapted hitch) and then a Sidewinder Pin Box to move the turning point of the trailer back 22 inches to avoid...
view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendations for 2007 Toyota Tundra Long BedIf by 'long bed' you mean an 8 foot bed, no you will not need a sliding fifth wheel hitch to tow your Cougar 27sab Xlite. However, if you have the 6-1/2 foot bed, you would indeed need a sliding hitch like the # 16516 Curt E16 fifth wheel hitch w/ slider you mentioned. The non-sliding version of the E16 is part # C16115. This being said, the E16 uses a slide bar type jaw that will allow the fifth wheel's king pin to rattle and bang around in the hitch. A LOT. It will hold the king pin...

- How Heavy Of a 5th Wheel Trailer Can a 2016 Ram 1500 Big Horn TowThe towing capacity of a 2016 Ram 1500 Big Horn (Crew Cab, 5' 7" Bed, 5.7 Engine, A8 Transmission) is 8,010 lbs if you have the 3.21 axle ratio or 10,160 lbs if you have the 3.92 axle ratio. The axle ratio can be found listed on the sticker inside your passenger glove box most likely. The type of trailer does not matter so long as the loaded weight is below the above figure. I have attached some parts you will need to tow as well. Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16115 Curt Custom...
view full answer... - 5th Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2014 Ford F-250 Long Bed Towing 28-Ft JaycoSince your Jayco 5th wheel trailer has a pivoting Revolution pin box (also known as a Sidewinder) you do not need a sliding hitch in your 2014 Ford F-250. Also, since this truck has an 8-ft bed you will have excellent turning clearance when making your low-speed maneuvers. For a fixed 5th wheel hitch I suggest the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16115. The installation kit # C16424-204 includes custom brackets for reduced install time. For a wedge use...

Let's start quickly with the base rails, and you will need a universal kit from B&W for that: - B&W Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVR3200 These base rails will install in your Chevy and allow you to mount any standard 5th wheel hitch; and for the hitch I recommend an option from Curt: -...

I attached an install video that shows the rail kit being installed in a 2006 Dodge Ram just like yours. That will walk you through the entire process.
view full answer... - Will a Curt E16 5th Wheel Hitch Work with Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation KitsYes, the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16115 will work with the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails part # RP50142-58. The Reese install kit will give you what is referred to as industry standard above bed base rails which works with most above bed mounted 5th wheel hitches from Reese, Pro Series, Husky, Etc. The Curt E16 is a great starter hitch and when paired with the Reese install kit will give you everything that is required to hit the road. However,...
view full answer... - Does Sidewinder Move Weight of Trailer Pin Weight Behind Rear AxleWhile the Sidewinders like the part # RP34FR do move the pivot point back 22-1/2 inches when towing due to pivoting arm the weight is still centered in the fifth wheel hitch jaw. Also the arm of the Sidewinder extends out the same distance as a standard pin box so the pin weight wouldn't change either. Sidewinders are pin box specific so you will first need to know what pin box you have now in order to pick out the correct one. There should be a sticker or a stamping on the OEM pin box...
view full answer... - 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Install Kit for 2012 Toyota Tundra w/5-1/2 Foot Bed & Open Range 318RLSI took a look at that 5th wheel trailer and that is a great design for a short bed truck like your 2012 Toyota Tundra with 5-1/2 foot bed. With the design of the trailer you can use a regular fixed hitch instead of a slider. But if you ever get a different trailer that doesn't have the same design you would have to either get a different hitch or pin box on the trailer so that is something to consider. Your truck will first need an installation kit to mount a hitch. I recommend a custom...
view full answer... - Will the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Work With Reese Base RailsThe Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16115 will work just fine with a set of Reese above bed base rails as they both use the same industry standard spacing.
view full answer... - Will Curt Universal 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation Kit fit a 1988 Ford F-250 SuperCab Long BedAccording to the installation instructions, see link, for Curt installation kit # C16100 or # C16200, it will fit Ford F-150 and F-250 trucks up through 1996 model years so that means it will fit your 1988 Ford F-250. And either kit will fit with 5th wheel trailer hitch # C16115.

Gross towing weight means the trailer weight plus the weight of all loaded water, propane, supplies and equipment - everything. The weight of your 39-foot Forest River Wildwood 5th wheel will depend on the exact model and how it is equipped. For example, Wildwood model 33BHOK has a shipping weight of about 9100-lbs but its gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR)...
view full answer... - Is a Slider Hitch Needed for a 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500 Short Bed with Lippert Turning Point BoxThe Lippert Turning Point Pin Box can be used on a short bed truck with fixed fifth wheel hitch, the pin box rotates so a sliding fifth wheel hitch is not needed. I recommend the Curt A16 for a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, it's one of the best value options as the dual jaws form a very tight grip and the head can be removed at the pull of a pin for easy loading/unloading. If you have the factory prep package, you'll need Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package...
view full answer... - Will the Curt A16 5th Wheel Hitch Fit Same Rails as Curt A20 5th Wheel HitchYes, the Curt E-Series like part # C16115 fit the same base rails as the Curt A-Series like part # C16140 so you can switch between the two without issue. The old base rails will stay attached to the truck bed and you'd simply just swap out the hitch for one another.
view full answer... - Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation Kit Options For 2009 GMC 2500HD 8Foot BedYes, the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Rails and Universal Installation Kit # C16116 will be a fit for your 2009 GMC 2500 HD however it is not a custom install kit so some drilling will usually be required to install. The Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch consisting of parts # C16115 and # C16418-204 is a custom install kit that is generally easier to install. Included are video resources for both solutions to review.
view full answer... - Are there Any 5th Wheel Hitches that Only Pivot Front to BackI urge you to consider a 5th wheel hitch with a double pivot head considering that the trailer is going to pitch and roll as you drive not to mention you won't always be on level ground when hooking up. All of the hitches that we carry pivot front to back and side to side. That's how they make them nowadays. I wish we had one that met your needs but they don't seem to make those anymore. If you are looking for something inexpensive I recommend the Curt 16K hitch # C16115 for a fixed version...
view full answer... - Will Curt E16 5th Wheel Hitch Head Fit Q20 LegsNope, the two aren't compatible, as the respective hitch heads mount differently. So if your Q20 is failing you definitely want to replace the whole hitch with the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16115.
view full answer... - Why Can't Curt E16 Slider Hitch be Converted to Fixed Hitch with Leg SwapThe heads on the E16 slider and fixed hitches are slightly different so the leg kit you mentioned would not bolt up. The mounting bolts are off by 1/2 inch. So what you'd need is the E16 part # C16115 for an all new Curt E16 hitch that includes new legs and head.
view full answer... - Recommended Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for a 1997 Ford F-250The gooseneck trailer hitch I recommend for your 1997 Ford F-250 is the Curt Double Lock, Flip and Store Underbed Gooseneck Hitch part # C60723. This gooseneck hitch is a custom fit so no drilling into the frame is required and it has a unique storage feature that lets you flip the hitch ball upside down in the receiver tube. The hitch also as the name states has dual locking pins for added security. If you ever need to tow a 5th wheel trailer there are adapters for this like the Curt...

This hitch slides automatically while you drive to give you 22-1/2 inches of additional clearance for tight turns. It's design relieves you from getting into and out of the truck to operate a manual slider. It has a built in roller-and-guide assembly that allows for smooth, controlled, and automatic movement. This hitch would be paired with the Demco...
view full answer... - What Fifth Wheel Hitch Will Work With Rails Stamped With CMIThe CMI rails in your 2018 Chevy 2500 are made by Curt. These are industry standard rails and will work with any fifth wheel hitch that is made for industry standard fifth wheel rails (Curt, Draw-Tite, Husky, Reese ect...). An E16 hitch like the # C16115 should work just fine with the CMI rails. If your E16 hitch is not lining up we would generally want to look in to that and possible get pictures to see why it is not fitting.
view full answer... - Can Curt Q16 Fifth Wheel Hitch be Used with SidewinderYou unfortunately will need a new hitch, as the current versions of the Curt Q and A series hitches are not compatible with sidewinders, like the one you have from Reese. Instead, you'll want to use something like Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16115 along with Wedge # C16991.
