Easy installation and works great!



by:

never installed but the product seemed alright other than it looked used due to the parts bag being torn open. this kit wasn't the right application for my truck, even after one of etrailers "product experts" said it would fit my 2019 f250. they were wrong. now i have to send back this kit and wait for another. etrailer offered me nothing for my inconvenience. since i am in immediate need of this, i have to pay hundreds of dollars for next day shipping. if i could have found one locally i would have bought it elsewhere. now i'm just hoping the one they say will work this time is correct.



by:

Package arrived when they said it would



by:

Great price and great company. They were delayed until February and notified me. I said I’d wait and sure enough came a week after I ordered instead of 2 months like they expected. Sure do recommend coming back and buying more from here

It is great. Easy install and towed my camper over 20k miles with it. No bolts have wiggled loose and easy to use



by:

I got a good product at a decent price but what I got really got was great customer support and answers to my questions so I could get the best quality product for my application

Great price and was at my house in under a week

It has been wonderful. It was super easy to install and worked great for my Anderson hitch



by:

The product itself seems great. Well made and I will say for sure. Maybe I was confused on ordering or something but I put in my vehicle information and looked up the different options that would fit my vehicle. I ordered under that list and now bolt holes don’t line up where they should. I ended up with rails for a newer truck so I ended up having to drill holes in my frame anyway. Which is what I was trying to avoid. Still seems like a quality product but I think the ordering part of things maybe needs a little tweaking. It’s only half done as of now I just hope my brackets will line up when I do the passenger side mounting bracket to frame



by:

Fast fast fast shipping, great communication post-sale,even follow-up! If only all online shopping experiences were this good…



by:

I have a 2009 ford f250 superduty and this hitch fit like a glove perfect all the way around! Excellent product made of heavy duty steel. It's perfect.



by:

Heavy duty, what i was looking for. Fits what it says. Fast shipping



by:

Totally our fault it didn't fit. We didn't enter our truck info to ensure proper fit. These folks made returning this easy and they helped us until we KNEW exactly what we needed. Even though this didn't work out, because of their great customer service we will recommend and order from here again.



by:

This is a great product, install took about 90 min, fit was great on 2011 f-250 . Couple that with free shipping, u can't go wrong.

  • Is the Curt Q20 5th Wheel Hitch Compatible with a TrailAir Pin Box
    The Curt Q20 Fifth Wheel Hitch, # C16130, is compatible with a TrailAir pin box as well as other air ride pin boxes. It is not compatible with Sidewinder or Revolution pin boxes because they do not pivot at the fifth wheel hitch. Instead they pivot using a turret at the opposite end of the pin box. To prevent the Sidewinder or Revolution pin boxes from pivoting at the hitch, they use a wedge just behind the king pin that locks the pin box in one position at the hitch head. This wedge...

  • Fitment 2021 F-350 Dually
    The Curt # C16424-104 that you referenced is not a fit for a 2021. You will need the Curt # C16424 bracket kit and the Curt # C16204 Universal Base Rails. These 43" Rails are compatible with Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Reese, Valley, and Husky. Their low profile takes very little room in your truck bed.

    Congratulations on your 5th wheel purchase. yes, the Curt installation kit, # C16424-104, will fit a 2012 Ford F-250 short bed as long as it is not a step side bed. This is a custom installation kit that requires NO drilling into the frame to install the below bed brackets. This makes installation easier and quicker.

  • Curt 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Install Kit for a 2013 Ford F-350 Long Bed
    We do have a Curt 5th wheel installation kit that will fit your 2013 Ford F-350 long bed but # C16448-104 is designed for older models and will not fit your truck. You will need Curt custom install kit # C16424-204 for carbide finish or # C16424-104 for glossy. Keep in mind that glossy doesn't stay glossy for long! I have linked a video showing an example installation of these kits. For a 5th wheel hitch you can't go wrong with the Curt Q25 # C16265. It's rated for 25,000 pounds gross...

  • Comparing Curt 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation Kits for a 2014 Ford F-250 Short Bed
    The difference between Curt 5th wheel trailer hitch installation kits # C16424-104 and # C16424-204 is just the finish of the rails. Kit # C16424-204 has a carbide finish making it more flat or matte black. Kit # C16424-104 has a gloss finish making it more shiny. But you can bet that considering what it is and wear its going it will not stay shiny for long. Curt hitch # C16541 is just the hitch and slider base. The installation kit is sold separately and it will fit in either kit since...

  • Clearance for Aux Fuel Tank when installing Curt A20 # C16541
    I talked to the manufacturer and they recommended the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Bracket Kit # C16424-104 this will provide up to 61'' of clearance when installing your 5th wheel hitch on the short bed. The size of the fuel tank would also factor in. On the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with R20 Slider # C16541 for example, the Hitch height is 17 1/2 to 21 1/2 inches. The Slider travel is 12" front to back. Hopefully, this will provide enough room to fit your needs.

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Kit For A 2006 Ford F-250 Super Duty
    Your 2006 Ford F-250 requires Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit Item # C16448-104. Item # C16424-104 is designed to fit the 2011-2016 Ford F-250. I would also recommend adding in bed wiring like the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector Item # C56070. This wiring harness will allow you to plug you 7-pole plug from your trailer into a 7 pin connector in the bed of the truck rather than at the bumper.

  • Which Curt Base Rail and Brackets for 2002 Ford F-350 with 8 Foot Bed
    I have a solution for you to install industry standard base rails for a 5th wheel hitch but the Curt # C16424-104 are not a confirmed fit on the 2002 Ford F-350 and are designed for 2011 and newer Super Duty trucks.

  • Converting Curt A25 Fifth Wheel Hitch for Ram Prep Package to Fit Reese Above Bed Rails
    To adapt your Curt A25 fifth wheel hitch designed to fit Ram pucks all you'd need is the Curt Leg Kit part # C16907 which will convert your hitch to fit the above bed rails you have now and would essentially convert it to the A25 part # C16180. This hitch fits the Reese rails as well as several other brands of rails since they all make them to the same dimensions.

The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ford F250 and F350 # C16443-204, for example, is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. It has a carbide finish instead of a gloss, which tends to hold up better in my opinion and show less scratches.
