I've installed two Curtis 5th wheel hitches in two different trucks that I've owned I love the Curtis hitch it was easy to install on both trucks of Ford and a ram



by:

Product is great. Installation was a little awkward. That is the reason for the four stars. Other then that I would recommend this to someone who is looking for a rail system.



by:

Install kit reported as “Delivered” but the rails were not in the shipment, only the hardware.



by:

Exactly what I ordered in great shape. Shipping was painless and on time.



by:

Packaging was the worst I have ever seen some bubble wrap and better packaging go along ways missing half my hardware do to the poor shipping quality not impressed, if I was knowing I would recieve only half of what ordered would have liked to pay half the price!

I can understand why you would be unhappy with the way the order arrived. I will share this with our shipped department and I will have our customer service team reach out to you.



by:

Part was not for my model as expected. Customer service never sent the paperwork for return and return shipping was not covered.



by:

After working around a few issues, install was complete in about 2 hours. Help was needed holding bolts in place from top side so nuts could be installed. Difficult area around fuel tank but only because of limited space and wiring harness that needed moved.



by:

etrailer is my go to place. Everything i ordered came in when they said it would. Have nothing but good things to say about etrailer. I would like to give a shout out to Ashley for answering all my questions and helping me out thank you Ashley!!!



by:

I have not installed it yet. but appears to be good.
The packaging is a little light for the weight, open box. some missing parts, (bolts and nuts). UPS has gotten busier, maybe a little harder on things.



by:

No drilling in frame makes a lot easier.if I had to drill holes in frame it would have taken me two days.I like the rails.

Speedy service on time delivery

Got the merchandise in just a couple of days. They upgraded me to express shipping at no additional cost which I thought was pretty good. I have not installed it yet but if it fits as they promise I will be very pleased. So far I would highly recommend this company.

  • 5th Wheel Installation Kit Recommendation for a 2014 Ram 2500 Without OEM 5th Wheel Package
    I have a solution for you, however, the Reese Rail Adapter, # RP30154, will not work on models without the factory fifth wheel package. Instead, I recommend using the Curt Fifth Wheel Installation Kit, # C16427-104 or # C16427-204. The only difference between these two kits is the finish of the base rails. The 104 kit base rails have a gloss finish and the 204 kit base rails have a carbide (matte) finish. These kits use the industry standard above bed base rails, so they will work with...

  • 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Install Kit for a 2014 Ram 2500 without Factory Prep Package
    For your 2014 Ram 2500 without the factory prep package you can use Curt installation kit # C16427-104. The rails that are included with this kit will accept any Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, Reese, and Valley 5th wheel trailer hitch that fits in industry standard above the bed rails. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you.

  • Will the Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch part # C16541 fit a 2014 Ram 2500 Short Bed
    Yes, but you will first need to install the Curt Custom Rail Kit # C16427-104 in the bed of your truck to provide the attachment point for the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R20 Slider # C16541 that you referenced. If you have the factory rail kit you would want the Reese 5th Wheel Adapter for OEM Underbed Rail Kit # RP30154 instead of the # C16427-104.

  • Best 5th Wheel Hitch & Rails For 2019 Ram 2500 With Ram Box For Rotating Pin Box
    Okay we can definitely get your 2019 Ram 2500 set up to tow your 5th wheel trailer, and since your trailer has a rotating pin box, what you will need is a fixed hitch that is compatible with that type of pin box. The Ram Boxes on your truck won't factor into the fit, because the issue with those is that they cause clearance issues with the pin box, but the rotating Turning Point takes care of that. So, the best 5th wheel hitch compatible with the Turning Point, as well as base rails for...

  • Can Anderson Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch Be Used With Sidewinder Pin Box
    I have another option but unfortunately neither the Anderson Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch or the B&W Turnover ball gooseneck hitch are compatible with a rotating pin box like the Reese sidewinder you mentioned. Instead I recommend using the B&W Companion Slider Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BWRVK3400 which will install into the B&W Turnover ball already installed on your 2017 Ram Short Bed, and will give you 12" of front to back travel for additional clearance when making...

  • Install Video Guide to Install Curt Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit # C16427 in 2016 Ram 2500
    I attached a link to an install video that shows how the part # C16427 installs. The part number in the video is the kit that includes the rails part # C16427-104. The spacer configuration really depends on each bed. Since the corrugation will be slightly different for every truck you will have to determine whether it should go above or below the bed based on your application.

  • Will the Old Style Hijacker 5th Wheel Hitch Work with a 2014 Ram 2500
    Hijacker was acquired by Demco a few years ago and Demco redesigned the hitch so it would work with the industry standard above-bed base rails. Unfortunately the old models of the Hijacker fifth wheel hitch will not work with the 2014 Ram 2500. The older Hijacker hitches used their own mounting brackets and base rails that were exclusive to their hitches. Since the hitches were redesigned, the old style frame brackets and rails were discontinued. We do have several other trailer hitch...

    Yes. The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram Truck - Gloss Finish # C16427-104 is a confirmed fit on the 2021 Ram 2500 short bed without the OEM prep package. This kit will allow you to install a 5th wheel hitch that mounts to industry standard rails. I've linked an installation and review video of these rails for you to check out, as well.

  • Curt Custom 5th Wheel Base Rails & Installation Kit That Fits 2020 Ram 2500 With 6-1/2 Foot Bed
    We do have Curt custom 5th wheel base rails and installation kits that fit your 2020 Ram 2500 with a 6-1/2 foot bed, but they are a bit different than the part number you mentioned. The two kits that fit have the same brackets, but you can choose from the gloss finish like the part number you asked about, or a carbide finish: - Gloss Finish: Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram Truck # C16427-104 - Carbide Finish: Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram Truck # C16427-204 Both...

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Using Underbed Mounting Rails for 2014 Ram 2500
    B and W has a solution that would allow you to install a fifth wheel hitch with an underbed mounting system. Their Companion # BWRVK3500-5W fifth wheel hitch would install into their Turnover Ball Gooseneck, part # BWGNRK1384-5W. When the fifth wheel hitch is removed, you would have full, unobstructed use of your truck bed. You would also have the advantage of being able to tow a gooseneck trailer if the need should arise. This will only be a solution if your truck has coil springs in...

  • Is The Curt Custom 5th Wheel Rail Kit # C16427-204 A Fit For A 2022 Ram 2500 6-1/2 Bed
    Yes, the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram Truck # C16427-204 is a compatible fit for both the 6-1/2' and 8' beds of a 2022 Ram 2500. These custom fit brackets provide a much easier and quicker installation because they utilize the factory holes in the frame instead of forcing you to drill through to frame to install the mounting bolts. If you don't already have an in-bed 7-way connection included in your Ram I highly recommend installing the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom...

These custom brackets mount beneath your truck bed to provide attachment points for your 5th wheel base rails. The brackets will mount to the existing holes in your vehicle's frame.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2012 Dodge Ram Pickup With 5-1/2 Bed
    I recommend the 18K B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # BWRVK3255 installed using the B&W Semi-Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit for Dodge Ram, # BWRVR3205-00. This is a fixed 5th wheel hitch and requires a rotating pin box be installed on your 5th wheel RV. Let us know what pin box you have installed so we can make the best recommendation of sidewinder/rotating pin box.

  • What is Difference Between Curt Fifth Wheel Rail Kits that Fit 2021 Ram 2500
    Both of the rail kits you mentioned fit both your 2021 Ram 2500 and your Curt A16 slider hitch. The difference is the finish of the rails. The part # C16427-104 is a gloss finish on the rails that install in the bed whereas the part # C16427-204 is a matte finish paint on the rails.

  • 5th Wheel Installation Kit Recommendation for a 2014 Ram 2500 and a Reese 16K Hitch
    To install fifth wheel base rails on your 2014 Ram 2500 without the factory fifth wheel package, you can use the Curt Custom Installation Kit, # C16427-204 or # C16427-104. The only difference between these two kits is the finish of the base rails. Install kit # C16427-204 has carbide (matte) finish rails and install kit # C16427-104 has gloss finish rails. The base rails included in these kits are compatible with your Reese 16K sliding fifth wheel hitch, so there will be no compatibility...

    There are several configurations of the 2014 Ram. I would need to know if you have a 1500, 3500, or 3500, bed length, cab style, and if your truck has the factory prep package or not. Curt installation kit # C16427-104 fits the following: 2014 - 2014 Ram 2500 6 Foot Bed without Factory Rail Kit 2014 - 2014 Ram 2500 8 Foot Bed without Factory Rail Kit This is a complete kit.

  • Will Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit # C16427-104 Fit 2014 Ram 2500 Diesel/Reese R16 Slider
    If your 2014 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel has the factory 5th wheel towing prep package with the OEM pucks (or sockets) in the truck bed then you can use the Reese 5th Wheel Adapter that you referenced, part # RP30154. This works with both 6- and 8-foot beds. Please refer to the linked photo. This adapter serves as the equivalent of standard above-bed base rails and your Reese 16K Slider (or other industry-standard) hitch can mount directly to it without need for base rails.

  • Is There a Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter Solution that Can Work with Truck that Has Gooseneck Hit
    Fifth wheel hitches and gooseneck hitches cannot be installed at the same time as they both attach to the truck frame in the same place. If you can get me the pin box model on your trailer I could get you a pin box replacement gooseneck adapter but otherwise you could go with the Convert a Ball part # CAB-C5G which attaches to the pin box of your trailer and then gives you a gooseneck coupler for the ball in your truck bed.

  • Recommended Curt 5th Wheel Hitch Mounting Bracket/Rail Kit for 2015 Ram 2500 Short Bed
    For the 2015 Ram 2500 without the OEM prep package, you'll want to use the Curt # C16427-204 rail/mounting bracket kit for a carbide finish or # C16427-104 for a gloss finish. For the 2015 model year, the # C16426-104 fits the 3500 model only. If you haven't yet decided on a hitch, I'd highly recommend the Curt A series, due to its interlocking jaw that holds the king pin very tightly for great ride quality. The A series slider is available in a 16K version as part # C16521 or a 20K...

    I do have a great rail kit available from Curt that will work perfectly on your 2019 Ram 2500, however the Curt Universal Base Rail and Installation Kit # C16200 will not fit. Because of the frame rail design on your Ram none of the universal brackets will fit, so a custom kit is required. For this I recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16427-104, which includes the industry-standard base rails to which your hitch will mount along with custom brackets that will use...

So it would not fit a Reese Elite Series hitch or Valley UBS hitch. For a 16K Reese slider hitch I would go with # RP30075. The head is the workhorse of Reese and the round tube slider design offers 11 inches of travel as will not bind up like a square tube slider. I have...

  • Recommended Fifth Wheel Hitch Installation Kit for 2015 Ram 2500 4WD 6 Foot Bed
    Reese offers three different 5th wheel installation kits that are compatible with your 2015 Ram 2500. The Universal Kit part # RP30035 is a lower cost alternative, but because holes would need to be drilled into the truck frame, install would take longer than it would with a Custom Install Kit. An outboard custom kit is available as part # RP50054-58. This kit uses fifth wheel bed rails that are longer, that allow the rails to connect to the bed brackets on the outboard side of the truck...
