Rail Kit to Install Curt E16 Fifth Wheel Hitch in Bed of 2016 Ram 2500 Short Bed
Question:
Im pulling 14,000 total in 39 foot 5th wheel with 2016 RAM 2500 short bed 64. Is this all I need?

Helpful Expert Reply:
The Curt E16 sliding fifth wheel hitch part # 16516 can be installed in the bed of your 2016 Ram 2500 but not with the rail kit that comes with the # C16616. Instead you'd need the custom install rail kit part # C16427-204 which will install much faster and easier while not requiring frame drilling either.
