Hello, neighbors. It's Brad here at etrailer. And today, we're taking a look and installing the CURT Custom-Fit Fifth Wheel Rails on a 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500. The rails are gonna make it to where you can drop in a number of different manufacturer fifth wheels because it is an ISR standard rating, meaning that it uses pretty much uniform matching up to your fifth wheel. So just make sure it follows into that normal standardization, and you're gonna be able to drop this in. So whether you're using the sliding, like today we have our CURT R20, which is really nice, it's got the carbide black that matches the rails, which is kinda cool. more

Reese Quick-Install 5th Wheel Base Rails Kit Installation - 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500- Video

Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500, we're gonna be installing Reese's custom base rails for fifth wheel trailer hitches, part number RP50066-58.These custom designed base rails are gonna allow you to get your fifth wheel hitch installed in your Chevy Silverado with minimal drilling and effort. Included in the kit, you're going to get two base rails for the legs of your hitch, and two side brackets that'll go underneath and attach to your frame, keeping it nice and secure.The side brackets attached to the frame rails using pre-existing holes so there's no drilling into the frame required, and the base rails will be function with most manufacturers fifth wheel heads, so it'll be ready to bolt right up and ready to use once you got it installed.The way these base rails are designed, the pins that hold your fifth wheel in, you can take your fifth wheel out, so will base rails remain in place and the base rails only sit about an inch on top of your bed, so you'll have mostly full bed access once you get your fifth wheel out of there.This kit comes with all the hardware you need to get it installed. It does require some minimal drilling, I'll show you how to do that now.We'll begin our installation by measuring out the first rail closes to the tailgate. You wanna center it in the middle between each side of your truck bed, and then you'll measure from the rear of the truck bed between your tailgate opening and the actual truck bed itself down towards your rail. There are multiple measurements depending on the length of your truck bed, refer to your instructions and set it at the appropriate distance from here to your rail.You'll then mark the hole one in on each side and the center hole towards the cab. You can use a center punch for this, if you've got a spray in bed liner, you can use a paint stick, and then what I like to do before I take it off if I do have spray in bed liner is to just take a drill bit and just mark that a little bit more. more

As you can see the kit's gonna come with four plugs, they're gonna go right over the holes, keep out dirt and debris and while giving us full access to the truck it's gonna prevent anything from going down, getting in our pockets where we need to lock our fifth wheel into place.Now when you're ready to use your auto slide you'll just want to pull out your black, plastic caps a screwdriver, a little pry bar will help you with that. They're meant to fit in there pretty snug which is good you don't want them coming out while you're traveling down the road or anything. Once you have all four off you'll just bring your auto slide in and you'll drop the four pegs right down in the open holes. Of course you want to rotate your locking arms, lock that in position, then we'll put in our locking pins. Now with those all in position our auto slide is gonna be ready for use.Now the installation kit for the Demco auto slide rails is really no different than the installation for any other Gooseneck or fifth wheel. more
