CURT 16448 Custom 5th Wheel Brackets for Select Ford Super Duty

The CURT 16448 Custom 5th Wheel Brackets provide a reliable mounting foundation for your 5th wheel trailer hitch. Designed specifically for select Ford F-250, F-350, and F-450 Super Duty trucks, these brackets ensure your hitch is securely attached to your vehicle frame, allowing for stable towing of heavy RVs and flatbed trailers.

Product Description

When towing heavy 5th wheel trailers, a stable mounting point is essential for both performance and safety. The CURT 16448 custom brackets are engineered to contour to the frame of your specific Ford Super Duty truck. By utilizing pre-drilled holes in the vehicle frame where possible, these brackets streamline the installation process, helping to reduce or eliminate the need for extra drilling. These brackets are finished with a durable liquid Bonderite coating to resist rust and corrosion, ensuring they stand up to the elements. They serve as the critical interface between your truck and your CURT industry-standard base rails.
