Truck-specific mounting brackets for 1999-2004 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty models, contouring to your truck's frame to provide a solid mounting point for Curt's universal fifth wheel base rails and hitch.
When you purchase a 5th wheel trailer hitch, you expect it to be capable of towing your RV, flatbed, or whatever other 5th wheel trailer you own. While a 5th wheel hitch does offer an impressive amount of towing strength, it cannot get far without the proper installation equipment. Engineered for specific makes and models, the Curt 16443 bracket kit provides a solid mounting point for complementing the power of your 5th wheel trailer hitch.
This custom bracket kit features a shape that contours to the frame of your 1999-2004 Ford F-250 or F-350 Super Duty, using pre-drilled holes in the frame wherever possible to make installation quicker and easier than a fully universal bracket. Finished in a durable rust-resistant liquid A-coat, it's designed to be used together with Curt's industry-standard universal 5th wheel base rails, #16104 or #16204, which are sold separately.
Shaped to fit your Super Duty's frame
Reduces drilling compared to universal brackets
Durable finish built to last
All mounting hardware included, base rails separate
These brackets are custom-shaped for 1999-2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty (all cab/bed configurations) and 1999-2004 Ford F-350 Super Duty (excluding cab & chassis models) — they are not a universal bracket. This kit does not include the base rails themselves; it's designed to pair with Curt's universal base rails (#16104 or #16204), which must be purchased separately. Sources vary on how much drilling is needed: several retailers describe installation as requiring no or minimal drilling, while at least one verified buyer review on Curt's own site reports drilling eight holes through the bed sheet metal during installation. Confirm your exact model year and cab configuration against Curt's application guide before ordering.
