Video Transcript for Let’s Check Out the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ford

Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at the CURT carbide black custom 5th wheel installation kit for Ford trucks. Now, this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 2017 and newer Ford F-250, F-350, F-450 Super Duty trucks without the OEM prep package and excluding the cab and chassis models. And on a custom fit part like this, I like to recommend for you to go to our website, use the fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle, and it'll show if this will work for application.

Now, the custom brackets right over here, these will mount beneath your truck bed. They provide the attachment points for these 5th wheel base rails. And these base rails are what'll sit in your truck bed and allow installation of your 5th wheel trailer to your truck. These brackets over here, they are custom fit brackets. They're designed to mount to existing holes in your vehicle's frame.

This will minimize any drilling and your installation time is cut in half compared with universal bracket systems. This is a complete kit. It includes everything shown here on the table. It includes the mounting brackets, the base rails, all the mounting hardware you need for installation, a nice set of instructions that'll describe how it all goes together. And over here, we have the galvanic isolator kit and that includes this roll of tape and these squares.

And they're designed to install between the aluminum bed of your truck and these steel parts of this kit to prevent any galvanic corrosion between the two different materials. The rails right here, as we mentioned, these will be in the bed of the truck. They're visible. They have carbide matte black finish to them. And this is compatible with the B&W, the CURT, the Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, and even the Reese above-bed 5th wheel trailer hitches.

But that should do it for the review on the CURT carbide black custom 5th wheel installation kit for Ford trucks..

Took like three hours by myself to install very happy with the set up



by:

Kit was complete everything went well
Instructions
were easy to follow



by:

Installed per directions. Quality is great. No rust after a year. Still looks new. Definitely would purchase again. Thanks Etrailer.



by:
Ford F-250 Super Duty

Install went well and product works fine. The installation was a little difficult on a 2020 f250 , but is adequate



by:

Shipping could have taped or closed custom box better, also, plastic around the custom mounts could have prevented them from getting scratched up.



by:

Had trouble received rails for an older model truck. They paid 1/2 of the return cost but it was still $xx. Not sure if it was my fault or they website. Either way etrailer was very friendly and helpful. I'd buy from them again.



by:

No problems everything is great



by:

Fit perfectly!



by:
2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty

I only received the top two rails! In a smashed up package! No bolts , no instructions just two top rails, unbelievable! And disgusting!



by:

Very sturdy and easy to install. The instructions were a little lacking though.



by:

Easy ordering and great delivery service



by:

I spoke with Robert6 because I had a problem with an order from a competitor. He was very helpful in finding the right part and took the order which arrived more quickley than we thought. The service and quality, as always, was exceptional. I will certainly continue using e-trailer as my go to suppliers of parts for my truck, trailer, and RV. Thanks for the great service.



by:
2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty

I installed this unit on a 2023 f250. Only modification was drilling the mounting holes to match the frame as they are different.



by:
2021 Ford F-250 Super Duty

Perfect fit for 2021 F250, fast shipping and great instructions



by:

Did not fit, upper rails bolt spacing was not correct, had to ream out to make fit. I Would Not buy this product again.

It sounds like it was a tough install. I wanted to ask you if you could explain in more detail which holes needed to be reamed out? Would you be able to send a picture.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Rails for a 2022 Ford F-350
    We do have a set of rails and brackets for the 2022 Ford F-350. They are the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ford item # C79BR. These will work with any 5th wheel hitch that is compatible with industry standard rails so you should be good to go with your Reese hitch. These rails fit both the 6-3/4' and 8' bed lengths. It will not fit the cab and chassis models. To make towing with a 5th wheel easier I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/...

  • Correct Base Rails for Curt E16 5th Wheel Hitch on 2021 Ford F-250
    In order to use the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16115 on a 2021 Ford F-250 you'll need the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit part # C79BR which is composed of the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails part # C16204 and Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit for Ford part # C99BR. Please not, the base rails are not sold individually.

  • Recommended 25K 5th Wheel Hitch For A 2022 Ford F-350 DRW
    Typically you'll only want to use 80-85% of any item's total capacity to keep a buffer safety zone so that you never risk having a product fail. You're correct that the only Companions at 25k capacity are for OEM puck systems. B&W is a great brand and is my favorite as well, but in this case they're not going to have anything compatible with with the # BWGNRK1116-5W that's going to have over 20k capacity, so you'll have to look at another brand.

  • Reese Fifth Wheel Sidewinder Kingpin for Grand Design Solitude and 2022 Ford F-350
    Your Grand Design Solitude will have a Lippert 1621 pin box, and since your trailer has a 16,600 lb GVWR, you'll need the 20k Goose Box, which is the following part number the Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter # RP85FR. Since your 2022 Ford F-350 did not come with the OEM prep package you'd need a custom fit rail kit like the Curt # C79BR which will minimize drilling and install much quicker than universal options. You'd then need a fixed hitch like the Curt...

  • What Wedge Kit Is Needed For A Curt CrossWing And Reese Revolution Pin Box
    The Curt CrossWing Lightweight Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # C32DR can not be used with a rotating pin box like your Reese Revolution, unless it is locked out and being used as a normal pin box. Rotating pin boxes require 4 points of contact between the 5th wheel hitch and the truck. To use the Curt CrossWing with your rotating pin box you would need the base rail version # C86JR and some base rails for your 2021 Ford F-250, like part # C79BR. The wedge kit # C43NR for...

  • Parts Needed To Use Curt A16 5th Wheel Hitch In 2019 Ford F-250 XLT without Factory Puck System
    If the 2019 Ford F-250 XLT does not have the OEM Pucks, then they can still use their old Curt A16 5th wheel hitch as long as it is for ISR (Industry Standard Rails), they'll just need to install rails in the bed. If they don't have and ISR hitch they can replace the legs with # C16920 to convert it to ISR. I'd go with the Curt Installation Rails # C79BR. These are custom fit for the truck so install will be pretty quick compared to the cheapy universal kits, and will work perfectly with...

  • Parts Needed to Install Curt 20k Fifth Wheel Hitch in Bed of 2019 Ford F-250 without OEM Prep
    Sounds like the 4 bolts you found in the bed of your 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty are actually the bolts that hold the bed to your truck frame which means your truck does not have the OEM prep package. This is not a problem at all. You'd just need to install a fifth wheel rail kit like the Curt part # C79BR which would then allow you to use a 20k Curt hitch like the A20 Slider part # C55DR.

  • 5th Wheel Base Rails For a 2023 Ford F-250 with 8' Bed and No OEM Prep Package
    The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ford # C79BR you were looking at are not a fit for your 2023 Ford F-250 with 8' bed and no OEM prep package. I checked with the manufacturers and was not able to locate a custom 5th wheel installation kit that will work with your 2023 F-250. In order to install 5th wheel rails, you will need to use universal 5th wheel rails. - Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails with Installation Kit # C16100 The universal rails will provide you with...

  • Can You Mount 5th Wheel Rails to Inside Frame Brackets on 2022 Ford F-350 Super Duty
    I do have an option for you but no, the inside brackets aren't used to secure fifth wheel rails. If you want to use them, go with the Reese Under-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # RP39FR which is the same package that would have come on the truck when new if ordered with the factory prep package. This will then allow you to use a hitch for the puck system like the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch part # BWRVK3305. If you're just looking for a super cost effective setup to get up and...

For your 2019 Ford F-250 Curt does have these rails with the custom fit under bed brackets to make installation easier.

    There are a few different types of PullRite 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches. We don't carry these so I cannot inform of which you a have but I do know if you have the ISR Series version then you can use the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ford part # C79BR to mount this on your 2021 Ford F-350 Super Duty. If you're unsure of which version you have, I recommend reaching out to PullRite directly. That said, if you provide me with the model number of your hitch I might be able to look...

  • Will The Curt 5TH Wheel Rails Work With The Pull Rite Sliding 5TH Wheel Hitch
    Yes, the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C79BR will allow you to install the Pull Rite 5th wheel hitch in your 2017 Ford F-250. The Pull Rite fits inside these Industry Standard Rails. You will want to add the Fifth Wheel Rail Sound Dampeners # 16900 to help quiet the noise. Be sure to install the Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness # 41157 so you will be able to connect the 7-way for your 5th wheel inside your bed.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2022 Ford F-250 Pulling a 5th Wheel Trailer w/ a Revolution Pinbox
    I have a couple of options for compatible 5th wheel hitches that will fit work with both your 2022 Ford F-250 and a Revolution pin box. You will need wedges for both options. Which one you go with will depend on whether or not your F-250 has the factory puck system installed. With Factory Puck System - B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch item # BWRVK3300 and the 5th Airborne Custom Wedge for B&W Fifth Wheels item # SWW-06.

    Hey Gary, thanks for reaching out! In order to use your Mopar 20 5th wheel hitch on your 2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty you'll need the following: - Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C79BR - Replacement Base Legs for Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16906 The Curt A Series 5th wheel hitches are the same as the Mopar hitches which is why the legs are interchangeable.

  • Curt Q20 and Base Rail Kit for a 2022 Ford F-350 Super Duty Dually
    Thanks for double checking with us, Pedro! It's always worth asking, especially when spending this kind of money. Yes, the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C79BR will fit just fine with your 2022 Ford F-350 Dually and be compatible with the Curt Q20 # C16130 you're interested in. I also recommend checking out the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness # C57010 which gives you a 7-Way socket in your truck bed so you won't be stretching the 5th wheel wiring down to your bumper.

The air bag brackets mount underneath and inside the frame whereas the fifth wheel hitch brackets mount outside the frame so they will work together great without issue. If you have a different, older kit then you just need to make sure the old brackets don't mount on the outside of the frame. Unfortunately,...

  • What is Needed to Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer with 2022 Ford F-250 Short Bed
    To tow a fifth wheel trailer with your 2022 Ford F-250 you will need a slider hitch to allow for tight turns without cab/trailer clearance interference and a rail kit to mount the hitch in the bed of your truck. For a hitch the Curt A20 part # C16541 is a great option that has a smoother operating slider, a 20k capacity, and a tight jaw design that helps prevent "chucking". For a rail kit the Curt part # C79BR is a great option as it's a custom fit kit which means no frame drilling like...

    For fifth wheel rail brackets for your 2017 Ford F-250 short bed, Curt does have a rail kit; for that you would want the part # C79BR. Since your truck has a short bed you would need a slider hitch like our very popular Curt A20 Slider part # C55DR. For 5th wheel wiring use # C57008.

  • Underbed Rails or Above-Bed 5th Wheel Rails for 2022 Ford F-250 Short Bed
    Hi Charles, This is a pretty tough one to give you a recommendation on because the answer really depends on how much you use your truck bed, or if you tow a gooseneck trailer. Do you use the bed of your 2022 Ford F-250 often for hauling or work or other things? Then yes, it's 100 percent worth it to go with the Underbed Rail and Installation Kit # RP87FR. But if your truck bed isn't something you depend on for use, then there isn't a downside to going with above bed rails, the Curt Custom...

    I do have an option for you but there is no way to make the Curt Q16 5th Wheel Hitch work on your 2017 Ford F-250 with B&W Gooseneck Trailer Hitch. If you remove the B&W Gooseneck Trailer Hitch and install the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ford part # C79BR you can then use the Curt Q16 5th Wheel Hitch but I don't recommend this as it will leave holes in your bed and there's a much better hitch available that will work with your B&W Gooseneck Trailer Hitch, it's the B&W Companion...
