Transfer your existing rail-mount 5th wheel hitch to your Ram 2500, 3500 puck-equipped truck with the CURT Puck System 5th Wheel Adapter with Rails (Part #16042). The adapter drops into your factory pucks and provides industry-standard 5th wheel rails on top — bolt your existing rail-mount hitch to it and you're ready to tow. No need to buy new legs. No drilling. No rail installation in the truck bed. Rated to 25,000 lb gross trailer weight. Uses CURT's quarter-turn anchoring for install/removal in seconds.

⭐ Transfer Your Existing Hitch — No New Legs Required

Standout benefit vs buying puck legs: this adapter lets you keep the industry-standard rail-mount 5th wheel hitch you already own. Meaningful for buyers who:

  • Are switching trucks from a rail-mounted setup to a puck-equipped truck
  • Have an existing hitch investment they want to preserve
  • Prefer their current hitch's operation/features
  • Own competitor-brand 5th wheel hitches (any industry-standard rail-mount 5th wheel works)

No hitch leg reconfiguring or disassembly required — the adapter provides a complete set of industry-standard rails.

⭐ Quarter-Turn Anchoring — Fast Install & Removal

The signature CURT puck system feature: quarter-turn anchors drop into the pucks and lock. With hitch pre-mounted on the adapter, the whole assembly installs or removes from the truck bed in seconds. Meaningful benefits:

  • Quick removal when not towing — full truck bed use restored
  • Adjustable anchors eliminate chucking noise between adapter and pucks
  • Movable platform for the 5th wheel coupling point

Vehicle Compatibility

  • Vehicle: Ram 2500, 3500
  • Requirement: Truck must have factory puck system (year-range specific)
  • Verify fitment against CURT application data before ordering

Hitch Compatibility

Compatible with all CURT 5th wheel legs and rollers, plus any competitor 5th wheel hitch with industry-standard mounting legs. Weight capacities are limited to the lowest-rated towing component (adapter + hitch + puck system).

Prefer Direct-Fit Legs Instead?
