Curt A16 Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2000 Ford F-350
Question:
I have a 2000 F350 dually and want to add a 5th wheel hitch for pulling our 2013 BigHorn 3010RE. Ive looked and read and it seems the Curt A16 is the best fit for me with the custom rail kit. Am I missing anything or is there another hitch I should be considering?

Expert Reply:
The Curt A16 fifth wheel hitch part # C16120 is a really solid hitch. It's very easy to use, has a wide height range, has a pivoting head, and a jaw design that holds the king pin tightly. You get a lot of hitch for the money with this which is also really great since it's not too expensive.
Then for a rail kit a custom kit like part # C16443-204 is the way to go as it will minimize drilling and install time.
