How Long Would it Take Shop to Install Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit C16418-204
Question:
Hi, About how long should it take a shop specializing in hitch installs to install this bracket kit, the corresponding rails, and in the hitch? One quote I received was for 4 hours, while all others were 2 or 2.5 hours. However, the one that quoted 4 hours had the soonest availability, far and wide. I cant help but think that is on the high side though, based on the install reviews that I have read. I have a 2000 Chevy 1500, long bed. Thanks!

I could see both figures being accurate depending on how familiar the shop is with fifth wheel bracket installs. We tell customers that it's going to take about 4 hours for this kit. But a shop with better tools and who is familiar with the bracket kits I could see them knocking it out in 2-1/2 hours pretty easy.
