Curt Universal Base Rail Kit Compatibility With A 2011 Ford F-250 Super Duty

Question:

Hi, I want to buy an install kit for a Curt 20K 5th wheel hitch. On the page it says not confirmed to fit. What does that mean? Thank you,

The Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails with Installation Kit # C16200 stating that it isn't confirmed to fit just means that it hasn't been tested to ensure that it will work with your 2011 Ford F-250 Super Duty. That being said it is a universal kit that can be installed on basically any truck.

I highly recommend going with a custom-fit bracket kit like the # C16424-204 to ensure fitment and make the installation much easier. This kit will use the existing holes in your F-250's frame to mount instead of requiring you to drill into your frame, which from experience takes forever and can be costly if you don't already have to tools to do so.

I also recommend installing an in-bed 7-way like the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness # C56070 to make connecting to your fifth wheel a breeze and prevent any binding or damage to the 7-pole cable on your trailer.
