Can Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Be Used in Bed of 2016 Ford F-350
Question:
Looking at purchasing this item. My question is does it come with bed rail installation kit for a 2016 Ford F350 Super duty 8 Ft Bed? If not any recommendations and price?

Expert Reply:
The Curt A20 Fifth Wheel Hitch part # C16541 that you referenced can be used in your 2016 Ford F-350 long bed as long as you have a rail kit installed. However, since you have a long bed truck you would not need a slider hitch and would be better of with the fixed version of this hitch part # C16130.
For a rail kit you then would want the part # C16424-204 which is a custom fit rail kit for your truck. Custom fit rail kits are nice because they minimize drilling and install time when compared to universal kits.
