CURT 16204 Industry-Standard 5th Wheel Hitch Rails, Carbide Black, 25,000 Pounds

CURT

Based on 468 reviews Check latest price

Product description

Knowing that your 5th wheel trailer hitch is properly mounted in your truck bed is vitally important to the success of your towing. Without a firm attachment point, a 5th wheel hitch is rendered useless to your tow vehicle. When you choose a 5th wheel hitch for your pickup, install it with confidence with a CURT 5th wheel bracket kit and a set of CURT 5th wheel base rails. CURT 5th wheel base rails are universal, meaning they can be used with any 5th wheel trailer hitch and in virtually any truck bed able to accept a 5th wheel hitch. They are compatible with all CURT and competitive 5th wheel trailer hitches and 5th wheel rollers, and their universal design also allows them to accommodate gooseneck adapters and Spyder gooseneck hitches. Installation with CURT universal 5th wheel base rails is quick and simple. They mount with sturdy zinc-plated bolts, providing a solid mounting place for a new 5th wheel hitch. 5th wheel base rail bolts and other hardware can also be purchased separately to aid in reinstalling used rails. To protect our 5th wheel base rails from corrosion, scratches and UV damage, we coat each one in either a gloss black powder coat or a black carbide powder coat, depending on the model. This gives them the tough skin they need for hauling that RV, flatbed or other heavy-duty trailer and gives you the confidence to tow wherever the horizon leads.This set of industry-standard 5th wheel base rails is rated to 25,000 lbs. GTW and comes with a highly rust-resistant finish of co-cured liquid A-coat and durable carbide black powder coat.

User questions & answers

Question: Will this also fit "eaz lift" 5th wheel's as well
Answer: They should as long as it is a standard plate
Question: will these work with a valley hitch
Answer: I don't believe I ever answered any questions about these rails. However, I bought them in 2015 along with the mounting kit for the frame as well as the hitch I don't remember. It's always best to call the manufacturer.
Question: Will these rails work for my Spyder 16085 gooseneck
Answer: I have been using this hitch for 3 years with a 2015 Shortbed Ram, have always had enough clearance to back my 5th wheel into any campsite we have been too. IN 3 years we have been to more than 20 different campsites. I also have a truexdo trucksport tonneau cover on my bed with no clearance issues
Question: one answer in your Q & A section says the hardware kit comes with the rails and other answers says it doe'snt, so which is it
Answer: If you go to the Anderson Manufacturer sight, they show you how. For me, it works great and is easy to do. It works great for my 35ft. 5th wheel. It is great if you use your gooseneck hook up for other trailers (which I do) and do not want the standard large 5th wheel hitch in the back of your truck. This whole setup is awesome, lightweight with easy install and easy removal for dailyu full use of the bed of your truck.

CURT

Based on 25 reviews Check latest price

Product description

The CURT A16 is designed to provide a surprisingly quiet ride while maintain superior towing power. It has a gross trailer weight capacity of 16,000 lbs. and can handle a vertical load up to 4,000 lbs. It comes with a three-position coupling indicator visible from your pickup truck cab, an extra wide head for easier coupling and high-strength interlocking die-cast jaws for a secure hold on your 5th wheel trailer. This 16K 5th wheel hitch excels in quiet 5th wheel towing. It uses a fully articulating torsion head, a cast yoke with poly-torsion inserts and interlocking jaws to create stability for your trailer and tow vehicle. These components also allow the A16 to suppress shock and vibrations and reduce any additional noise coming from your trailer. Like the other CURT A-Series hitches, the A16 is coated with a durable carbide powder coat finish. It is tested in accordance with SAE J2638 for safety and includes a limited lifetime warranty. This A16 5th wheel hitch head comes attached to the CURT R16 slider. Our 5th wheel sliders mount easily onto a set of 5th wheel rails or a gooseneck adapter already installed in the bed of your pickup truck. CURT 5th wheel sliders feature solid construction and offer a sturdy mounting place for your 5th wheel hitch, ensuring that none of its towing strength is lost. CURT 5th wheel sliders are also true rolling units, meaning they actually roll on wheels that bear the weight of the trailer rather than simply sliding on hollow rods as seen in competitive models. With a thick operating handle, the roller smoothly rolls the 5th wheel head forward and back, locking securely into each position as desired. CURT sliders also provide up to 12" of displacement as well, unlike the more common 10", to give you a wide range of motion and plenty of space to get your RV or other 5th wheel trailer around any turn.

  • SELF-RESETTING. This A-series 5th wheel hitch features a unique, ergonomic handle and extra-wide head to make coupling your 5th wheel trailer easier than ever. After uncoupling, the handle self-resets to the ready-to-couple position
  • FULL ARTICULATION. This 5th wheel hitch provides controlled towing of your 5th wheel camper with its patented head technology. The head is built on a cast yoke with poly-torsion inserts that reduce shock loads, chucking and noise at the coupling point
  • COUPLING INDICATOR. Built into this 5th wheel hitch is a 3-position indicator that shows the coupling status. It conveniently shows if the 5th wheel hitch is coupled, uncoupled or ready to tow
  • TESTED STRENGTH. This 5th wheel hitch is tested and rated for 16,000 lbs. gross trailer weight and 4,000 lbs. vertical load (limited to lowest-rated towing component). It is tested according to SAE J2638 specifications
  • VERSATILE FIT. This 5th wheel slider hitch comes with a roller to allow for 12 inches of additional turning clearance with short-bed trucks. It mounts onto any industry-standard 5th wheel hitch rails (rails and brackets sold separately)

Product features

Smart operation

All A-series 5th wheel hitches operate with a lockable handle that self-resets to the ready-to-couple position after the 5th wheel is uncoupled, removing a step from the coupling process.

Easy setup

A-series 5th wheel hitches feature alignment pegs on the hitch legs, as well as easy-access mounting bolts for simple leg-to-body attachment (select models).

Simple installation

Each 5th wheel hitch is designed for fast, one-pin head removal to make removing the 5th wheel from the truck bed easier with smaller, lighter pieces.

Reliable connection

The A-series 5th wheel head is built with high-strength, interlocking jaws that greatly reduce chucking noises. The head also has an extra-wide opening for easy coupling.

Articulating head

The fully articulating torsion head of the A-series 5th wheel offers controlled coupling and stable, quiet towing with your 5th wheel trailer.

Quiet towing

A-series 5th wheel hitches also feature a cast yoke head with poly-torsion inserts. This mechanism suppresses shock loads and further reduces chucking noises from the trailer.

High-strength construction

The A25 and A30 5th wheel hitches are constructed with a cast steel main body, providing strength to tow the largest of 5th wheel trailers and offering a more precise build.

Thoroughly tested

CURT has a dedicated in-house testing and engineering facility in Detroit, MI to confirm that all of our 5th wheel hitches pass SAE J2638 specifications for safety.

How to select a 5th wheel hitch: What size is the truck bed?

Your truck bed length will determine the type of mounting platform you’ll need for your 5th wheel hitch: legs or a roller. 5th wheel legs are the standard option for mounting a 5th wheel hitch, but they will only fit in a long-bed truck. For short-bed trucks, extra clearance may be needed when making tight turns. A 5th wheel roller will allow the hitch to roll backward, providing enough clearance between the trailer overhang and the truck cab.

Does the truck have an OEM puck system?

If you own a truck from Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Nissan or Ram, your truck bed may be equipped with a puck system (pictured). If your truck has a long bed with the puck system, select a CURT 5th wheel hitch with the appropriate OEM puck system legs. If your truck has a short bed with the puck system, select a CURT 5th wheel hitch with the appropriate OEM puck system roller or roller adapter.

Do you prefer permanent base rails?

If your truck does not have the OEM puck system, you will need to install 5th wheel rails. The traditional method for installing base rails is to use vehicle-specific under-bed brackets. First, select the custom under-bed brackets that fit your specific make and model, as well as a set of industry-standard base rails. Next, if you have a long-bed truck, select a 5th wheel hitch with legs. If you have a short-bed truck, select a 5th wheel hitch with a roller. Remember to always abide by the weight capacity of the lowest-rated towing component.

Would you like the option to easily remove the base rails?

Another 5th wheel mounting option is a gooseneck hitch. Using the CURT Double Lock EZr or Double Lock gooseneck and X5 adapter plate allows you to have a removable set of industry-standard 5th wheel base rails. First, select the Double Lock EZr gooseneck hitch kit that fits your specific make and model. Next, select the corresponding X5 adapter plate. Finally, if you have a long-bed truck, select a 5th wheel hitch with legs. If you have a short-bed truck, select a 5th wheel hitch with a roller.

User questions & answers

Question: Will this work with the legs that me E16 came with
Answer: I have machine washed many things that were supposedly not machine washable in a gentle cycle/cold water that turned out just fine. If you’re that worried, hand-washing works just as well. The spot-clean only Is just to cover their...cushions.
Question: Does this comes with the 16560 R16 roller, or is sold separately
Answer: I think you should get 2 cushions. I checked the description to verify. Be aware, they are handwash only or spot clean only. I tried laundering them in the washing machine, but the foam absorbed so much water, that the machines became off balance during spin cycle and 'walked away' from the hose that drains the water. Flooded basement ensued. Argh! I suppose you could soak them in the washing machine, but not having the spin cycle means they will need to dry for a long time!
Question: Can I replace me E16 with a A16 head and reuse my roller base
Answer: Yes
Question: So does this hitch have any play like the e16 hitch? My e16 hitch makes lots of noise when start or stoping
Answer: More blue. Very pretty aqua. Nice thick pads non slip too. I would order them again.
Question: what is the diameter of the welding flange
Answer: Yes they can be washed BUT the ties tear easily and the fiber filling comes out.
Question: What is the lug spaceing
Answer: They seem to be about 2 1/2 ins thick. They are very comfortable and look good. Good product.
Question: how big of rim do you need for this product
Answer: Yes they are, and the ties are not strong. They ripped within a week of having them.
Question: Made in USA
Answer: I’m not sure about plastic covers, but the chair cushions are smaller than most cushions. Was a little disappointed.

The fully articulating torsion head of the A-series 5th wheel offers controlled coupling and stable, quiet towing with your 5th wheel trailer.

Quiet towing

A-series 5th wheel hitches also feature a cast yoke head with poly-torsion inserts. This mechanism suppresses shock loads and further reduces chucking noises from the trailer.

High-strength construction

The A25 and A30 5th wheel hitches are constructed with a cast steel main body, providing strength to tow the largest of 5th wheel trailers and offering a more precise build.

Thoroughly tested

CURT has a dedicated in-house testing and engineering facility in Detroit, MI to confirm that all of our 5th wheel hitches pass SAE J2638 specifications for safety.

How to select a 5th wheel hitch: What size is the truck bed?

Your truck bed length will determine the type of mounting platform you’ll need for your 5th wheel hitch: legs or a roller. 5th wheel legs are the standard option for mounting a 5th wheel hitch, but they will only fit in a long-bed truck. For short-bed trucks, extra clearance may be needed when making tight turns. A 5th wheel roller will allow the hitch to roll backward, providing enough clearance between the trailer overhang and the truck cab.

Does the truck have an OEM puck system?

If you own a truck from Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Nissan or Ram, your truck bed may be equipped with a puck system (pictured). If your truck has a long bed with the puck system, select a CURT 5th wheel hitch with the appropriate OEM puck system legs. If your truck has a short bed with the puck system, select a CURT 5th wheel hitch with the appropriate OEM puck system roller or roller adapter.

Do you prefer permanent base rails?

If your truck does not have the OEM puck system, you will need to install 5th wheel rails. The traditional method for installing base rails is to use vehicle-specific under-bed brackets. First, select the custom under-bed brackets that fit your specific make and model, as well as a set of industry-standard base rails. Next, if you have a long-bed truck, select a 5th wheel hitch with legs. If you have a short-bed truck, select a 5th wheel hitch with a roller. Remember to always abide by the weight capacity of the lowest-rated towing component.

Would you like the option to easily remove the base rails?

Another 5th wheel mounting option is a gooseneck hitch. Using the CURT Double Lock EZr or Double Lock gooseneck and X5 adapter plate allows you to have a removable set of industry-standard 5th wheel base rails. First, select the Double Lock EZr gooseneck hitch kit that fits your specific make and model. Next, select the corresponding X5 adapter plate. Finally, if you have a long-bed truck, select a 5th wheel hitch with legs. If you have a short-bed truck, select a 5th wheel hitch with a roller.

Product description

A CURT 5th wheel trailer hitch is the ultimate combination of towing power and smooth driving, but a CURT 5th wheel mounted on a 5th wheel roller turns this gentle giant into the ultimate in mobility too. If you have a short-bed truck, it can be difficult towing a large RV trailer, especially one with an extended front overhang. When you are towing a 5th wheel with a 6-foot truck bed, give yourself a little breathing room with a CURT 5th wheel roller. Our 5th wheel rollers mount easily onto a set of 5th wheel rails or a gooseneck adapter already installed in the bed of your pickup truck. CURT 5th wheel rollers feature solid construction and offer a sturdy mounting place for your 5th wheel hitch, ensuring that none of its towing strength is lost. CURT 5th wheel rollers are also true rolling units, meaning they actually roll on wheels that bear the weight of the trailer rather than simply moving on hollow rods as seen in competitive models. With a thick operating handle, the roller smoothly rolls the 5th wheel head forward and back, locking securely into each position as desired. CURT rollers also provide up to 12" of displacement as well, unlike the more common 10", to give you a wide range of motion and plenty of space to get your RV or other 5th wheel trailer around any turn. This 20K 5th wheel roller comes with a durable carbide powder coat to ensure the best possibly protection against scratching, chipping, rusting and UV damage. It has a towing capacity of 20,000 lbs. and is compatible with select CURT 5th wheel hitches and some competitive 5th wheel hitches.

  • TURNING CLEARANCE. This 5th wheel roller is designed to provide a 5th wheel slider hitch solution. It provides 12 inches of rearward travel for additional turning clearance with short-bed trucks
  • EASY TO INSTALL. This 5th wheel roller installs easily on any industry-standard 5th wheel base rails. They allow you to maximize the functionality of your truck bed, dropping into the 5th wheel rails
  • VERSATILE. This 5th wheel roller is compatible with any CURT industry-standard 5th wheel base rails and most CURT 5th wheel hitch heads (sold separately)
  • SOLID STRENGTH. This 5th wheel roller is rated for 20,000 lbs. gross trailer weight, allowing for a wide variety of towing applications (limited by lowest-rated towing component)
  • DUAL-COAT. For dependable weather-resistance in your truck bed, this 5th wheel roller features a dual-coat finish of rust-resistant A-coat and a tough carbide black powder coat

User questions & answers

Question: If I buy the slider and the intermediate plate will it fit a Reese head that is my question
Answer: I am not sure if the Reese head will fit. I would get ahold of a Reese Tech for that info. I have a slider/roller but I only used it once. I was able to turn and backup without any issues. We travel to Alaska last with our 5th wheel put on 9000 miles with no issues. I flat tire on truck. No problem. I would not buy a slider again. When slider is to rear on my truck you can't turn with the tailgate in. Hitch will hit tailgate. Good Luck
Question: Will this system work with the Curt Q
Answer: I don't believe it will.
Question: Will this head work with the e16 legs
Answer: I am new to this but I did a lot of research before I bought. These legs will fit this roller, but make sure they fit your truck bed too. I got a set of Reese legs (from another online marketplace that shall remain nameless!) to fit this unit and my truck that had been set up for 5th wheel when I bought it and they fit fine. The legs have to be specific to your vehicle. I also got my Curt e16 head unit from Amazon and they all fit together perfectly
Question: will this work on a 2018 ford f-150 with a 6.5 box
Answer: Yes, I have a 6.5' box and these are made for anything less than 8. However, you need to be sure it fits with the 5th wheel you are pulling as its max gross weight is 16K lbs.
