Product Description

When towing heavy loads, the stability of your 5th wheel hitch is paramount. The CURT 16443 custom brackets are engineered to complement the power of your 5th wheel hitch by providing a secure mounting foundation.

Note that these brackets are intended for use with CURT industry-standard 5th wheel base rails #16104 or #16204 (sold separately).
