Video Transcript for Review of CURT Fifth Wheel Installation Kit - Custom Fit - C55BR

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the CURT custom fit fifth wheel installation kit with the dark gray base rails for the Dodge trucks. Now, this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 2006 to 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 extended crew cab trucks and also fits the 2003 to 2012 Dodge Ram and Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. And on a custom fit part like this, I do recommend for you to go to our website, use the fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle and it'll show if this will work for your application. Now, this kit here is the complete installation kit.

It'll allow you to install your fifth wheel to your truck bed and the kit will include everything shown here on the table. It'll include the side custom fit mounting brackets. It includes these base rails, includes all the hardware you need for installation and a nice set of detailed instructions that'll describe how it all goes together. Now, the side mounting brackets I wanna zoom in on, we mentioned these are custom fit brackets. They're designed to fit or mount beneath your truck bed and to provide the attachment points as you can see here for your fifth wheel base rails.

These brackets are black powder coat finished to resist corrosion. And we mentioned they provide a custom fit by mounting to existing holes in your vehicle's frame. So basically you can see these holes that are already in these brackets. They'll line up with the holes in your vehicle's frame so it minimizes the amount of drilling that's required. And because of that, it'll cut the installation time in half when compared with universal bracket kits.

Now, the base rails themselves, which are these parts here, these are what'll sit in your truck bed. They allow installation of your fifth wheel trailer hitch to your vehicle and these rails will be visible in your truck bed. These rails here, if you notice, have a dark gray finish to them and that's to match the color of your fifth wheel hitch. And these are industry standard rails that are compatible with B&W, CURT, Draw-Tite, Reese, and the Husky above bed fifth wheel trailer hitches. But that should do it for the review on the CURT custom fit fifth wheel installation kit with the dark gray base rails for the Dodge trucks.
