The Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate # VGM-88-100 you found is an all steel construction. This particular tailgate is for 1988-2000 Chevrolet/GMC Fleetside truck beds.
As I see you are looking at parts for a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 you will need the Stromberg Carlson 100 Series # VGM-07-100. We do also have the Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate # VGM-07-4000 with its composite plastic construction and filled with fiberglass for increased strength. view full answer...
The Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series # VGD-10-4000 weighs roughly 32-lbs.
It should be noted that this tailgate isn't necessarily going to increase what the truck's payload much, if at all, but they're instead designed to reduce the damage that might otherwise occur when towing a 5th wheel trailer with a pin box that hangs close to the tailgate. These tailgates also reduce drag that ultimately will help improve gas mileage. view full answer...
The Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate # VG-97-100 doesn't have provisions for a lock on your 2001 Ford F-250 Super Duty but you can use the Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate # VG-97-4000 instead which does have the lock.
The 4000 uses a glass-filled, black composite plastic frame as opposed to the steel frame of the 100, but in addition to the lock on this louvered tailgate you can add the inserts # VI-4000 and # 4000-V to help protect the privacy... view full answer...
The Stromberg Carlson fifth-wheel tail gate is made of heavy duty steel tubing. It should work well on your 1999 Ford Super Duty, and will stand up longer than other basic, vinyl tail gates just because it is fully constructed out of steel.
This tail gate is also backed by a 1-year limited warranty, and is made in the USA. view full answer...
The Curt 5th wheel trailer hitches including # C16069 are not made in the US. For a 5th wheel hitch that fits your 2017 GMC Sierra 3500 long bed AND that is made in America you can use B&W hitch # BWRVK3700. I have linked a video review of this hitch for you. view full answer...
We actually don't manufacture any of the products on our site. The 5th Wheel Lifting Bracket # DM6100 that you referenced is made by Demco and we started carrying it a few years ago.
The lifting bracket has a weight capacity of 500 lbs so you shouldn't have trouble lifting any 5th wheel hitch, plus it is made right here in the USA! view full answer...
Curt is based in Eau Clare, WI. All materials are fabricated in the USA, but Curt says that some hitch materials may be imported. The Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ford Towing Prep Package # C16036 is produced in the USA.
However, if you wish to have a part that has all parts manufactured in the USA, the B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch for Ford Super Duty Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs # BWRVK3300 is the 5th wheel hitch for you. view full answer...
The Curt 5th wheel hitches like # C16530-16017 are made overseas in Asia with steel from that region, but they are tested to meet US standards. Unless you are using a Sidewinder or have a Revolution pin box, I highly recommend you use a sliding 5th wheel hitch like # C16530-16020 or the B&W Companion Slider # BWRVK3370 which is made in the USA.
Reese makes an adapter for the OEM Underbed Rails # RP30156, to allow the use of standard sliding hitches with the factory puck system, which... view full answer...
The factory prep packages help you make use of a gooseneck hitch or 5th wheel both easy to install and also remove if you need access to your full bed. For this reason they can be a real asset if you plan on using your truck for a variety of towing now and to provide flexibility if you decide to do more later.
There are 5 holes, 4 at the corners with one in the middle for the gooseneck. The 5th wheel hitches designed for factory prep packages can drop into the 4 corners per the included... view full answer...

The Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter # AM3200 does come with the king pin connection block and funnel. The King Pin connection is the block that recently had that red funnel added to make easy connection to the ball as long is the ball is within 3 inches of the socket. The older style was the silver block you see in the photos and they added that red funnel to make connection even easier. The Andersen Ultimate does come with that red funnel included. view full answer...

The mounting brackets for the Wheel Masters Level Master Trailer Bubble Level with 5th Wheel Pin Box Mounting Bracket # WM6780 are made out of UV-protected plastic. The plastic is really durable though, and is designed to last, so it isn't going to just break apart, and won't corrode like a metal bracket would.

The hitch pin weight of 1400 lbs you stated is so close to your payload capacity, but that is not accounting for the 5th wheel hitch and rail weights or the loaded weight with cargo added. Tunda's are notorious for having a lower payload and in this case, I can't tell you it will be fine. The payload weight is spread out over the truck bed where the 5th wheel rails are mounted to the frame directly so are more secure. Unfortunately manufacturers don't test for the 5th Wheel Hitch weight... view full answer...

For a 5th wheel hitch set up that is made here in the states B&W still manufacturers hitches in the USA. If you wanted to go that route you would need installation kit # BWGNRK1012-5W and Companion hitch # BWRVK3400-5W for your 2013 Chevy Silverado 2500HD short bed. I have included links to videos on the hitch and installation of the rail kit.
The benefit of going with the B&W set up is that you get a gooseneck hitch built into the installation kit so if you ever needed to tow a gooseneck... view full answer...
