Video Transcript for Review of CURT Fifth Wheel Installation Kit - Custom - C16419-204

Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the CURT Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for the Dodge Ram trucks, and this has the carbide finish base rails on it. Now, this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 2002 to 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 trucks, excluding the extended Crew Cab models. And since this is a custom fit part, I do like to recommend for you to go to our website, use the fit guide, put in your year and model of vehicle, and it'll show if this will work for your application.

Now, this kit here is a complete installation kit that allows you to install a fifth wheel to your truck bed. It does include everything shown here on the table. It include these custom fit mounting brackets, includes the base rails, and then all the hardware you need to install it. Even comes with a nice set of instructions that'll describe how it all goes together. Now, these mounting brackets, I want to zoom in from the side to show you, these mounting brackets are designed to mount beneath your truck bed.

They do provide the attachment points for your fifth wheel rails. They will provide a custom fit, because they're mounting to existing holes already in your vehicle's frame, so it eliminates the need for drilling, and it'll cut the installation time in half when compared with the universal bracket kits. Now, the base rails right up here. These base rails will sit in your truck bed and then they allow the installation of the fifth wheel trailer hitch to your vehicle. The rails are visible in your truck bed.

Now, this set here has the carbide finish to them, which is sort of a matte black finish, and that's to match your CURT fifth wheel hitch. The black powder coat finish on these do resist corrosion. And this kit is designed to work with the BMW, the CURT, the Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch Reese, and even the Husky above bed fifth wheel trailer hitches. But that should do it for the review on this CURT Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for the Dodge Ram trucks, and this one has the carbide finish base rails.

The directions on this item are horrible. I finally figured it out and was able to install it onto my Ram 1500, but only after spending hours trying to make everything fit right. If you're looking for a hitch setup to pull a trailer long distances, I would advise you to look at other options. This will work for my short trips with my half-ton pickup, but I would not want to pull anything more than 50 miles with this setup.



by:

No issues. Tough installation as my truck has many interference brackets that made getting the nuts and bolts into place. No other issues to to report.

  • Is there a Custom 5th Wheel Install Kit for a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 Short Bed
    The 5th Wheel installation kit available for the 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 Short Bed is the Universal Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation Kit with Rails, # 6005. There is no custom install kit (other than the one for the signature series hitches). I have included the instructions for the kit below. Page 14 of the instructions shows installation details for your vehicle. Installing a universal kit is only a little bit more difficult and time consuming than a custom kit. I spoke with our installers...

  • Is There Drilling Involved in the Installation of Fifth Wheel Rails in a 2004 Dodge Ram Pickup
    The Curt Custom, No-Drill Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit # C16419 will install on the frame rails of your 2004 Dodge Ram with out having to drill. If you are wanting to install the side brackets and in-bed rails, I recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16419-204. The in-bed rails will require you to drill through the bed for each of the mounting bolts.

  • Will the Curt E5 Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Fit in Reese Above the Bed Rails
    The Curt E5 5th wheel trailer hitch, # C16115, does fit in Reese above the bed rails. I have included a link to the installation details for you. If you want to go with a Curt installation kit if your 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 does NOT have a Mega Cab, use # C16419-204. If it does have a Mega Cab, use # C16420-204.

  • Recommended Airbags for a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 2WD with 5th Wheel Brackets
    In order to install a set of airbags on your 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 2WD with the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit part # C16419-204 you will want to use the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57257. The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2286 would likely require modifications and would not be a direct fit out of the box due to the upper bracket. That said, the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs are just as good as the Firestone Ride-Rite Air...

  • 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Installation Kit for a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 Long Bed
    Slider hitches can slide back towards the tailgate of the truck which allows for more clearance between the trailer and the truck cab when making turns. Short bed trucks pretty much require a slider for most 5th wheel towing applications because the distance between the centerline of the hitch and the back of the truck cab is so short. If you have a long bed truck then you don't have to worry about clearance and you can use a fixed 5th wheel hitch. For your 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 long bed...

  • Can Base Rails on 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 Be MOved Back for Short Bed Clearance
    When installing a base rail kit for 5th wheel towing there are specific places the brackets need to go, which can be found in the installation instructions. If you don't already have base rails I recommend checking out the following: - Universal # BWRVR3200 - Custom # C16419-204 The universal rails are less expensive but they do require drilling into your vehicle frame, whereas the custom brackets bolt right up to existing holes so the installation is much less labor intensive.
