Curt Manufacturing 16437 Fifth Wheel Custom Install Kit Review

Brackets worked great on my 2000 ford f150. Everything lined up great and fit as expected. Only problem I ran into was the packing. Hardware was rattling around in the box having escaped the bags. Was missing one nut and one spacer. Had to buy the nut and ad-lib the missing space. The brackets themselves were great just not the packaging. Plan on a few in the most inconvenient places. I got it installed myself but it took some time and some sweat to get there. Have towed the trailer twice now so I'll have to go back and try and re-tighten all the nuts. It was impossible with to get a torque wrench on all but a couple of the nuts. These did make the installation of the rails much easier.

Reese Towpower 30051 16K Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Review

I recieved my new hitch on time. Problem was the box was what I ordered but the hitch inside of the box was not. Someone had switched hitches to a non slider type. Also some of the parts were missing(rails). I called Amazon and was able to get a credit for recieving the wrong hitch. Being resorceful I was able to use what was sent to me by using the slide portion of my old hitch, everything woked out ok in the end and I got to go on vacation as planned. 5 stars to Amazon for my quick resolution of this problem and getting me my $285.00 credit (the difference between what I orderd and what I got). No stars for the person who swaped out hitches in the box prior to me receiving it.

Valley 30137 Fifth Wheel and Gooseneck Wire Harness Review

This product took me approx 30 min. to install. I first got a 2 1/4" hole saw, (I think that was the size, it wasn't smaller then 2") and I marked out a spot in my bed that would be good for this plug. I chose a few inches behind the driver side wheel well. I installed this on a dodge so make sure your plug won't be affected by the different levels on the inside of the bed. Make sure all four holes will lay flush.
I drilled out my hole and just as a precaution put some touch up paint on the bare metal to prevent future rusting. I attached the harness to the plug and fed everything down thru the hole. I then went under the truck and found the harness, routed it safely over to where the existing 7 way harness plugs in. Removed that plug, (theres a red clip you have to slide with a screw driver) and plugged my new harness into that socket. Slide your clip on your new plug! Then I took the other end of my new harness and plugged it into the plug that I just removed from the existing harness. SIMPLE!! Zip tie your extra 6 feet or so of wire up with the provided zip ties. Next go back up in the bed and pitch those dinky little self tappers they give ya with this kit cause there almost to short, and what happens if you start pluggin and unpluggin your big 7 way plug from your trailer? Your gonna eventually work them screws out. I used the same size self tapper just a longer length. If you think you can do it, you might wanna try bolts but it's gonna be hard gettin your hand up that high to tightened the nuts if your workin from the ground.
Overall this things is very simple to install, well worth the price for quality and plenty of wire. Will keep your trailer plug in the bed instead of hangin over your tail gate where it can easily fall behind your bumper and first turn you take its gonna snap. So spend some money and buy this kit, save yourself the 90.00 that a professional will charge ya to do the same job. Also, search this product on you tube. Theres a instructional video on there that shows installing this same part number. Might try searching goosneck plug or somthing along those lines to bring it up.

Had this hitch for about 3 months now and have covered a good deal of mileage with my 15,000 lb fifth wheel and am VERY happy with it. Hooking up is a breeze and towing was smooth. I almost bought a 16K Reese and am so glad I noticed this one and got it for around the same price, but its in a different league! Buy it....you wont be disappointed!

I like the fact you can look and see the pin bar correctly in it's place holding the pin.
No dropped pin accidents.
I would recommend this hitch to anyone.
Don't pay the Reese price, buy this quality hitch from Curt.
