Video Transcript for Review of CURT Fifth Wheel Installation Kit - Custom Fit Mounting Brackets and Rails - C16430-204

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the Curt carbide black custom fit fifth wheel installation kit for the RAM trucks. Now this is a custom fit part, it is designed to fit the 2013 RAM 2500 trucks and also the 2013 and newer RAM 3500 trucks without the OEM prep package. Now 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 you this will work for your application. The custom mounting brackets on the side right here, these will mount beneath your truck bed. And as you can see, they'll provide the attachment points for these fifth wheel base rails.

The base rails is what'll sit in your truck bed and allows the installation of your fifth wheel trailer hitch to your truck. Now the custom mounting brackets on the side here, I'm gonna zoom in. If you notice the way they're configured, they are custom fit brackets. They're designed to mount to existing holes in your vehicles frame. You can see to have the holes in the brackets.

This will help minimize any drilling and the installation time is cut in half compared with the universal mounting brackets that are out there. Now this is a complete kit and includes the mounting brackets we mentioned, the base rails, and the mounting hardware. Comes with a nice set of instructions that'll describe how it all goes together. Now the rails, as we mentioned, these will be visible rails in your truck bed. These have the carbide black finish which is like a matte black finish, and it's to match the carbide black finish of your fifth wheel hitch.

Now these rails are industry standard rails. They are compatible with B and W, Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, and Reese above bed fifth wheel trailer hitches. But that should do it for the review on the Curt carbide black custom rit fifth wheel installation kit for the RAM trucks.

Maybe need to work on the packaging part of the process. Not real sure if I have all the pieces to the product since the box was completely ripped apart. We order from etrailer all the time and it’s the same issue every time. The packaging process

I bought a 2019 Ram truck and contacted Reese needing a tiedown kit for the 20,000 pound hitch I already owned as the tiedowns from my old Dodge truck was different. They told me I would have to buy a new hitch (around $2,000) as there was not a tiedown kit for the new style frame on my Ram truck.
I shopped around and got the same answer, finally talking to a etrailer associate, as I had found online a 20,000 lb Curt hitch for$850.00, I was ready to order but carried on the conversation informing him of my situation with the Reese hitch, he said let me check on something first. He came back with good news he could sell me a kit that would fit the rails he had and they would fit the Reese hitch I had. $xx.xx I was a little skeptical but he assured me the kit would work. It was a easy installation with the parts they furnished.
Upon installing the kit I found the rails from my Reese hitch would work with the kit, I contracted etrailer and they said they would issue a refund for the rails when I returned them, the refund was issued in a very short time.
etrailer is the first place I talk about when visiting with other trailer owners about parts needed. We owned 3 campgrounds in Minnesota I wish I had know about had known about etrailer at that time.

Great



by:

Very good hitch, I'm pleased with durability and ease of use. I didn't give it 5 stars because of the base locking pins that are slightly smaller than the holes they fit in and make the trailer "clunk" when taking off or stopping.



by:

Pkg arrived earily-great.

and ready for moving fifthwheel.
Thankyou for selecting the right hitch.

Work's good. Not as easy to install on my truck as they make it sound, but once installed happy.

  • Rails Needed To Install Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch On 2015 Ram 3500
    In order to use the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C22ER on a 2015 Ram 3500 you'll want to use the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram part # C16430-204 if you don't have the factory prep package or the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C74BR if you do. Please note, the installation kit does not have a weight capacity, this comes from the fifth wheel hitch which will be the weakest component of the system since the install kit attaches to the frame.

  • Fifth Wheel Installation Kit For 2015 Dodge Ram 3500 With Short Bed And No Factory Prep Package
    In my research I found 1 Pullrite 15K fifth wheel hitch. From the description I found that it said it would fit several other manufacturer rail kits, but the fifth wheel installation kit we offer for your truck is not on the list. For your 2015 Dodge Ram 3500 Short Bed, we offer the Curt Installation kit, part # C16430-204. You would need to contact your hitch manufacturer and see if this kit with the industry-standard rails would work with your hitch. The price for the items we offer...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch Install on 2014 Ram 3500 without OEM Trailer Prep Package
    I do have a couple of recommendations for you. Take a look at our 20,000 lbs 5th wheel hitch by Curt, part # C16130, and Reese, part # RP30928. Both have custom installation brackets available. For the Curt hitch you will want part # C16430-204. For the Reese hitch you will want part # RP56010-53. The Curt hitch has a vertical load limit of 4,000 lbs, and a height adjustment between 13 to 17 inches, while the Reese hitch has a vertical load limit of 5,000 lbs and a height adjustment from...

  • Curt Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2013 Dodge Ram 2500 Long Bed
    You mentioned a Curt part number (that does not fit your truck) but said Reese but I believe you are looking for a Curt fifth wheel rail kit that fits your 2013 Dodge Ram 2500 long bed. For that we have the Curt # C16430-204 which would fit and work well. This is a custom fit rail kit for your truck so it will minimize drilling and install time. I attached a link to an install video that shows this kit installed in a 2013 Ram truck just like yours as well. The Reese part number # RP30154...

  • Correct Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for a 2020 Ram 3500 without Factory Prep Package
    The correct Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for a 2020 Ram 3500 without Factory Prep Package is part # C16430-204. This kit offers a mostly bolt-on install with no drilling into the frame required. If you do have the Factory Prep Package however then you will instead need to use the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch part # C29BR. These kits will both provide a set of industry standard above bed rails which allow you to use a standard fifth wheel hitch like the Curt CrossWing...

  • 5TH Wheel Rail Kit For a 2014 Ram 3500 Diesel Dually With 8' Long Bed
    For a 5th wheel trailer up to 25K the Curt Kit # C16430-204 will have the custom fit brackets to fit your frame and industry standard rails for most all 5th wheel hitches. If your 2014 Ram 3500 is capable of towing over 25K and you plan to then the Kit # C25BR is rated up to 40,000lbs. This also contains custom mounted frame brackets and the industry standard rails to work with most 5th wheel hitches. Be sure to pick up a 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness # 41157 so you can...

    The Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Square Tube Slider - Dual Jaw - 16,000 lbs # RP30051 is a fit with industry standard above bed rails or adapters. The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Dodge Ram - Carbide Finish # C16430-204 you mentioned for your 2013 Ram 2500 will work great as they are the Industry Standard Base rails and the brackets are a confirmed custom fit. You may want to also consider adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch, Slider for 2015 Dodge Ram Pickup with Rambox
    Officially our 5th wheel hitch suppliers do not recommend any 5th wheel hitch installation in Dodge Ram pickups that have the Rambox system due to the reduced bed width. We have, however, heard reports of successful installations in the 2014 Rambox-equipped trucks using a Sidewinder replacement pin box. The Sidewinder moves the pivot point back 22-inches behind the king pin which keeps the body of the pin box stationary within the limited available width of the Rambox bed. This configuration...

  • 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Install Kit w/Industry Standard Rails for a 2015 Ram 3500
    If the SuperGlide hitch you have is the model that fits in below the bed mounts then PullRite, the manufacturer, currently does not have an option for the 2015 Ram 3500. But if it is an ISR model (ISR stands for industry standard rails) then you can use installation kit # C16430-204 which does come with industry standard rails. This kit will fit the 6 and 8 foot beds but there is nothing for models that have the 5-1/2 foot bed.

  • Recommended Fifth Wheel Install Kit For 2021 Ram 1500 Limited Short Bed EcoDiesel
    My contact at Curt said the correct 5th wheel install kit for your 2021 Ram 1500 Limited Shortbed EcoDiesel is the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram # C16307-104 which is designed to fit all models of the 2019-2021 Ram 1500's. This kit will allow you to use any fifth wheel hitch made for Industry Standard Rails (ISR). Since your truck is a short bed I typically recommend a sliding hitch to give you extra trailer to cab clearance when turning. I recommend taking a look...

  • Fit & Compatibility of Demco Hijacker Autoslide Hitches with Industry-Standard Base Rails
    There are different versions of the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th wheel hitch that are made for different applications. For instance 13K hitch model # DM8550040 does fit into industry-standard above-bed base rails (ISRs) like # C16430-204 from Curt or your Reese rails. The 21K Demco hitch # DM8550038 fits into the Ford Super Duty factory 5th wheel prep kit. The 18K hitch # DM8550034 that you referenced also fits into ISRs.

  • Can a 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch be Installed in a 2015 RAM 3500 Short Bed with Rambox
    I can set the record straight for you. No manufactures fit the Ram trucks that have the Rambox feature. The issue is the bed is more narrow and the trailer pin box will hit the sides of the bed when you turn. Some customers have used a Sidewinder pin box in place of the regular pin box on the trailer. This moves the pivot point of the trailer back 22 inches. We have been told by customers this works. However, none of the manufacturers have tested this to confirm. Customers would start...

  • Will the Curt Q20 5th Wheel Hitch # C16130 Fit a 2017 Ram 3500
    The Curt Q20 5th Wheel Hitch # C16130 will fit a 2017 Ram 3500 truck, but the under the bed mounting kit between the 2015 ram 2500Hd and the 2017 Ram 3500 are different. For the under the bed rail kit on the 2017 Ram 3500, Curt # C16430-204 is the confirmed fit. These rails will mount to frame brackets that will allow the hitch to mount in the bed of the truck. On Ram trucks with air suspensions some 5th wheel hitch installation will interfere with the air system. However, the Curt bed...

  • 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation Kit for a 2016 Ram 3500 Tradesman
    For your 2016 Ram 3500 I recommend a custom installation kit, # C16430-204, because there is no frame drilling required to install the frame brackets and it will install in less time compared to universal or semi-custom kits. The rails in this kit will accept your Reese 15K hitch. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation. For the install kit listed above you will measure from the rear edge of the bed, not the tailgate, forward 26-1/2 inches for a short bed or 28-1/8...

  • Are There Demco Base Rails Available For A 2023 Ram 3500
    Since Demco doesn't currently have a fit for your 2023 Ram 3500 the only option would be to swap out the mounting plates on your Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550034 with the Replacement Side Plates for Demco Autoslide # DM6003 so that you can mount to rails like the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram # C16430-204 that we talked about before.

  • Recommended Base Rails for 2018 Ram 3500 Using Anderson Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch
    Yes. The Anderson Ultimate Hitch # AM3200 is designed to fit in the industry standard base rails, so you can use the # C16430-204 on your 2018 Ram 3500 short bed and have a complete 5th wheel towing setup.

  • Recommendation to Tow 5th-Wheel Trailer with 2016 Ram 2500 with Ram Box
    I may have a solution for you, however the issue with the Ram Box on your 2016 Ram 2500 is that is that it puts the rails of the bed too close together and it causes interference with the pin box of the trailer when turning corners. While Sidewinder has not officially said that you can use a Sidewinder with a Ram Box, we have talked with several customers that state that with a Sidewinder pin box they were able to tow a fifth wheel trailer. Sidewinders move the pivot point higher so the...

  • Curt Fifth Wheel Hitch and Rail Kit Recommendation for a 2016 Ram 3500
    Yes, the Curt fifth wheel rail kit part # C16430-204 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2016 Ram 3500 long bed without the hitch prep package. It will work well with your Q24 fifth wheel hitch part # C16245. The fifth wheel rails and brackets do not have capacities. What the rail manufacturers state is that the rails will have the capacity of whatever the hitch is that is installed on them. For a 7-way to install in the bed of your truck you would also want the part...

    Yes, the Curt Q24 Fifth Wheel Hitch part # C16245 that you referenced will work in your 2013 Ram 3500. You will first need a rail kit though. For that you would want the Curt Fifth Wheel Rail Kit part # C16430-204. I confirmed the compatibility of these products on your vehicle with Curt as well.

This kit is confirmed to work with your 2019 Ram 3500 and they require the use of Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails, which come in either Gloss Finish # C16104 or Carbide Black Finish # C16204.

  • Using the Lippert Turning Point Pin Box with Reese 5th Wheel Hitch On a 2019 Ram 3500 with RamBoxes
    If your Grand Design Reflections 150 comes with a Lippert Turning Point Pin Box then there will be no need for a Reese Sidewinder as these both serve the same purpose which is to move the pivot point therefore making for more turning clearance. The only thing you would need is a fixed 5th wheel hitch and for that I recommend the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30047 because of the dual locking jaws which form a tight grip on the kingpin therefore making for a smooth ride.

  • Options For Installing 5th Wheel Hitch In 2019 Ram 3500 without OEM Puck System
    They do not make an aftermarket puck system kit for your 2019 Ram 3500, so you have a few options to get a 5th wheel hitch installed. The standard way is installing above bed rails # C16430-204 to use a sliding 5th wheel hitch # C55DR if you have a 6-1/2' bed, or a fixed 5th wheel hitch # C16140 if you have an 8' bed. If having the permanently installed above bed rails is a buzz kill for you, then another option is installing the B&W Turnoverball # BWGNRK1320-5W will allow you to install...

  • 5th Wheel Hitch Rail Recommendation and Installation Location for a 2014 Ram 2500
    I am assuming you do not have the underbed rail kit in your 2014 Dodge Ram 2500 Megacab since you are looking for advice on where to mount the fifth wheel rails. If your truck is either a short or long bed you will want the Curt Fifth Wheel Installation Kit part # C16426-204. In either bed length the king pin will be centered above the rear axle. The distance between the edge of the bed to the rear rail will need to be 28-1/8 inches if you have an 8 foot bed and 26-1/2 inches if you have...
