by:

It all fit good. It took a little longer to install the under the bed brackets. I had no access to a lift, so lots of crawling in and out. I'll finish the above deck work tomorrow but don't expect any difficulties. Instructions were good and concise. I would recommend this to anyone with basic mechanical abilities.



by:

I've installed two Curtis 5th wheel hitches in two different trucks that I've owned I love the Curtis hitch it was easy to install on both trucks of Ford and a ram



by:

Product is great. Installation was a little awkward. That is the reason for the four stars. Other then that I would recommend this to someone who is looking for a rail system.



by:

Install kit reported as “Delivered” but the rails were not in the shipment, only the hardware.



by:

Exactly what I ordered in great shape. Shipping was painless and on time.



by:

Packaging was the worst I have ever seen some bubble wrap and better packaging go along ways missing half my hardware do to the poor shipping quality not impressed, if I was knowing I would recieve only half of what ordered would have liked to pay half the price!

I can understand why you would be unhappy with the way the order arrived. I will share this with our shipped department and I will have our customer service team reach out to you.



by:

etrailer is my go to place. Everything i ordered came in when they said it would. Have nothing but good things to say about etrailer. I would like to give a shout out to Ashley for answering all my questions and helping me out thank you Ashley!!!



by:

After working around a few issues, install was complete in about 2 hours. Help was needed holding bolts in place from top side so nuts could be installed. Difficult area around fuel tank but only because of limited space and wiring harness that needed moved.



by:

I have not installed it yet. but appears to be good.
The packaging is a little light for the weight, open box. some missing parts, (bolts and nuts). UPS has gotten busier, maybe a little harder on things.



by:

Part was not for my model as expected. Customer service never sent the paperwork for return and return shipping was not covered.



by:

No drilling in frame makes a lot easier.if I had to drill holes in frame it would have taken me two days.I like the rails.

Speedy service on time delivery

parts first time

Very easy to install. Just triple check Measurements and you will be good.



by:

Got the merchandise in just a couple of days. They upgraded me to express shipping at no additional cost which I thought was pretty good. I have not installed it yet but if it fits as they promise I will be very pleased. So far I would highly recommend this company.

Fast shipping. My order got here faster then expected. The product was incredible heavy duty and in great condition. Definitely doing business again

  • Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for 2006 Dodge Ram
    I have a solution for you but the Curt item # C16427-104 will not fit your 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 Long Bed. Instead you will want the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Dodge Ram - Carbide Finish item # C16420-204. This kit is custom fit and designed for your truck. The custom fit brackets mount to existing holes in your Ram's frame. I have linked an installation video below. To make towing with a 5th wheel easier I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness...

  • Recommended Curt 5th Wheel Base Rail Kit for 2019 Ram 2500 8 Foot Bed
    I do have a great rail kit available from Curt that will work perfectly on your 2019 Ram 2500, however the Curt Universal Base Rail and Installation Kit # C16200 will not fit. Because of the frame rail design on your Ram none of the universal brackets will fit, so a custom kit is required. For this I recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16427-104, which includes the industry-standard base rails to which your hitch will mount along with custom brackets that will use...

  • Will Curt 5th Wheel Install Kit Fit a 2016 Ram 2500 Short Bed with Factory Air Suspension
    Yes, Curt 5th wheel installation kit # C16427-104 will fit your 2016 Ram 2500 short bed with the factory air suspension and without the factory prep package. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. If you do not already have a hitch I recommend the Curt 20K hitch # C16541. This is a slider hitch with 12 inches of travel so you can make tighter turns without the trailer hitting the truck cab. It also features a cushioned head for a smoother ride. I also recommend...

  • Curt Custom 5th Wheel Base Rails & Installation Kit That Fits 2020 Ram 2500 With 6-1/2 Foot Bed
    We do have Curt custom 5th wheel base rails and installation kits that fit your 2020 Ram 2500 with a 6-1/2 foot bed, but they are a bit different than the part number you mentioned. The two kits that fit have the same brackets, but you can choose from the gloss finish like the part number you asked about, or a carbide finish: - Gloss Finish: Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram Truck # C16427-104 - Carbide Finish: Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram Truck # C16427-204 Both...

    Yes. The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram Truck - Gloss Finish # C16427-104 is a confirmed fit on the 2021 Ram 2500 short bed without the OEM prep package. This kit will allow you to install a 5th wheel hitch that mounts to industry standard rails. I've linked an installation and review video of these rails for you to check out, as well.

    No, The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram Truck # C16427-104 will not fit your 2013 Ram 1500. You will need The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16444-204. These custom brackets mount beneath your truck bed to provide attachment points for your 5th wheel base rails. The brackets will mount to the existing holes in your vehicle's frame. This kit is compatible with B&W, Curt, Demco, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, Reese, and Valley 5th-wheel hitches. I attached...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2012 Dodge Ram Pickup With 5-1/2 Bed
    I recommend the 18K B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # BWRVK3255 installed using the B&W Semi-Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit for Dodge Ram, # BWRVR3205-00. This is a fixed 5th wheel hitch and requires a rotating pin box be installed on your 5th wheel RV. Let us know what pin box you have installed so we can make the best recommendation of sidewinder/rotating pin box.

  • Install Video Guide to Install Curt Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit # C16427 in 2016 Ram 2500
    I attached a link to an install video that shows how the part # C16427 installs. The part number in the video is the kit that includes the rails part # C16427-104. The spacer configuration really depends on each bed. Since the corrugation will be slightly different for every truck you will have to determine whether it should go above or below the bed based on your application.

    There are several configurations of the 2014 Ram. I would need to know if you have a 1500, 3500, or 3500, bed length, cab style, and if your truck has the factory prep package or not. Curt installation kit # C16427-104 fits the following: 2014 - 2014 Ram 2500 6 Foot Bed without Factory Rail Kit 2014 - 2014 Ram 2500 8 Foot Bed without Factory Rail Kit This is a complete kit. No adapter is needed. The rails included with the kit accept Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, Reese, and Valley...

  • 5th Wheel Installation Kit Recommendation for a 2014 Ram 2500 and a Reese 16K Hitch
    To install fifth wheel base rails on your 2014 Ram 2500 without the factory fifth wheel package, you can use the Curt Custom Installation Kit, # C16427-204 or # C16427-104. The only difference between these two kits is the finish of the base rails. Install kit # C16427-204 has carbide (matte) finish rails and install kit # C16427-104 has gloss finish rails. The base rails included in these kits are compatible with your Reese 16K sliding fifth wheel hitch, so there will be no compatibility...

  • Does Curt Fifth Wheel Rail Kit C16427-104 Work with Pullrite 2900 Hitch
    Yes, since the Pullrite Superglide 2900 was designed to fit the industry standard fifth wheel rails like what the Curt rail kit part # C16427-104 provides this rail kit would work for that hitch and also this rail kit fits your 2019 Ram 2500 short bed.

  • Can Anderson Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch Be Used With Sidewinder Pin Box
    I have another option but unfortunately neither the Anderson Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch or the B&W Turnover ball gooseneck hitch are compatible with a rotating pin box like the Reese sidewinder you mentioned. Instead I recommend using the B&W Companion Slider Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BWRVK3400 which will install into the B&W Turnover ball already installed on your 2017 Ram Short Bed, and will give you 12" of front to back travel for additional clearance when making...

    Yes, the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit, # C16427-104, is confirmed to fit the 2014 Ram 2500 truck with a 6 foot bed. The installation mounting brackets will mount to existing holes in the frame of your Ram truck. No drilling required into the truck's frame. I also recommend installing the Bargman 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness, # 50-97-410, in the bed of the your Ram. This harness will allow for a hassle-free hookup of your 5th wheel trailer. The harness will plug...

  • Is There a Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter Solution that Can Work with Truck that Has Gooseneck Hit
    Fifth wheel hitches and gooseneck hitches cannot be installed at the same time as they both attach to the truck frame in the same place. If you can get me the pin box model on your trailer I could get you a pin box replacement gooseneck adapter but otherwise you could go with the Convert a Ball part # CAB-C5G which attaches to the pin box of your trailer and then gives you a gooseneck coupler for the ball in your truck bed.

  • Will a Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Fit a Curt Installation Kit on a 2014 Ram 2500 Short Bed
    The rails included with Curt 5th wheel trailer hitch installation kit # C16427-104 for the 2014 Ram 2500 short bed will fit Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, Reese, and Valley hitches that fit in above the bed rails. So it would not fit a Reese Elite Series hitch or Valley UBS hitch. For a 16K Reese slider hitch I would go with # RP30075. The head is the workhorse of Reese and the round tube slider design offers 11 inches of travel as will not bind up like a square tube slider. I have...

    I have a solution for you, however, the Reese Rail Adapter, # RP30154, will not work on models without the factory fifth wheel package. Instead, I recommend using the Curt Fifth Wheel Installation Kit, # C16427-104 or # C16427-204. The only difference between these two kits is the finish of the base rails. The 104 kit base rails have a gloss finish and the 204 kit base rails have a carbide (matte) finish. These kits use the industry standard above bed base rails, so they will work with...

    B and W has a solution that would allow you to install a fifth wheel hitch with an underbed mounting system. Their Companion # BWRVK3500-5W fifth wheel hitch would install into their Turnover Ball Gooseneck, part # BWGNRK1384-5W. When the fifth wheel hitch is removed, you would have full, unobstructed use of your truck bed. You would also have the advantage of being able to tow a gooseneck trailer if the need should arise. This will only be a solution if your truck has coil springs in...

    Curt is our only supplier that offers an above the bed fifth wheel hitch install kit for the 2014 Ram 2500. If you currently have Curt bed rails, you can reuse your existing rails and use the # C16427 frame brackets. It is strongly recommended that the frame brackets and the bed rails be from the same manufacturer. Using brackets and rails from two different manufacturers might lead to an unknown weight capacity, which would be bad. Because of this, if your bed rails were not manufactured...

    For your 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 6 foot bed the Reese install kit part # RP50142-58 would be the kit I would recommend. This is a custom fit rail kit that will minimize drilling and install time on your truck. You will need a slider hitch too since you have a short bed truck to be able to make tight turns without cab interference. The Reese 16k part # RP30075 would be a great choice as it' has a jaw system that will provide excellent king pin contact and has a round tube slider which...

  • Best 5th Wheel Hitch & Rails For 2019 Ram 2500 With Ram Box For Rotating Pin Box
    Okay we can definitely get your 2019 Ram 2500 set up to tow your 5th wheel trailer, and since your trailer has a rotating pin box, what you will need is a fixed hitch that is compatible with that type of pin box. The Ram Boxes on your truck won't factor into the fit, because the issue with those is that they cause clearance issues with the pin box, but the rotating Turning Point takes care of that. So, the best 5th wheel hitch compatible with the Turning Point, as well as base rails for...
