Will the Curt E16 fit a 2007 Ford F-350 Super Duty with Above Bed Rails

Question:

I have a curt 16000 LB slider hitch in my 2007 f350 Im thinking about a regular hitch so would a 20000 hitch fit onto the rails I have already installed in my truck bed for the 16000 LB hitch?

A 5th wheel hitch like the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16115 will fit B&W, Curt, Demco, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, Reese, and Valley above-bed base rails. As long as you have the correct rails, you will be able to use the A20 in your 2007 Ford F-350 Super Duty. More than likely you have Curt rails from the initial installation of your Curt Sliding 5th wheel hitch.

Since you have a sliding hitch, I will assume that you have the 6-1/2 foot bed. In order to get enough clearance with a fixed hitch on a short bed truck you will need to also use a rotating pin box like the Reese Sidewinder. I am including a link to our available rotating pin boxes for you to check out.
