How To Determine if Curt A16 Slider Hitch will Fit Rails in Bed of 2013 Toyota Tundra
Question:
Hello, Last year I purchase a Curt 16k Slider and mounting system factory GMC Curt fifth wheel gooseneck plate for my 2017 GMC 2500 crew cab sierra with a 6 1/2 ft bed. I have since wanted to so sell this hitch to upgrade my fifth wheel unit to a gooseneck unit. In doing so I wanted to sell within my family to a member who has a 2013 Toyota Tundra 4x4 extended cab with a 6 1/2 ft bed...rails in the bed came with the truck from the previous owner whom used it to pull a ultra light fifth wheel. How would I know if these rails were compatible with my slider? And if they arent, what hardware is needed to make my unit fit and work in their Tundra? Thank you in

Expert Reply:
If the rails in the bed of your family member's truck like what come with the Curt kit # C16304-200 that you referenced and are 22 inches apart on center your Curt 16k slider like part # C16521 will fit and work well. These are industry standard rails which are by far the most common design of rails which nearly all manufacturers match the design of. This allows most hitch and rail kit brands to be able to swap between each other.
