Pair this center section with a custom mounting kit (sold separately) to get a super-secure hitch for towing your gooseneck trailer. Ball is locked in place with 2 pins when being used and flips over for storage inside the hitch when its job is done.This hitch was as easy to install as 1 2 3. Cut the hole following included instructions, bolt frame rail kit (sold separate), bolt hitch and bam I was pulling my trailer around for a test run before re torquing bolts. Only took a couple of hours to install by myself following the clear provided instructions. Grade 8 hardware being included was the decision maker for me. Great product from a great company!
GREAT PRODUCT!
Great product. Fit my vehicle without modifications. Easy to install. Converted my fifth wheel travel trailer to goose neck hitch, so I don't have to remove a heavy fifth wheel hitch every time I want to haul something. Just pull the lever and turn the ball over giving me full use of the truck bed. Awesome
Though I have not installed yet item is of excellent quality and what looks to be a fairly simple installation. I am adapting to a 1973 ford and will be fabricating cross members to accommodate.
Seems very well built. Fit and finish are great. I installed on a 2015 Sierra with the EZr mounting bracket and the only downfall of the combination was a very difficult installation...think bottle jacks and hammers.
Customer service was great. The product bolts right up with a little drilling and remove couple things and cutting out piece of sheet metal. Four to five hours to put in.
I have not had a chance to install this product yet. The metal quality looks to be good as well as the craftsmanship. All hardware that I believe is used for it is there and it should be a great install/addition. The only thing I am partially upset about is that it did not cone with the pilot hole mounting tool that curt uses in their videos. I’m going to have to call and try to get one of those.

Thank you for reaching out. Definitely love the reliability and durability of this hitch, also the added clearance. I have it mounted on my 40 foot enclosed race car trailer. We towed using it 35 to 40 times to and from race tracks in 2019. Hooking it up and disconnecting it every weekend. Never gave us a single issue.

this installed correctly on my 2005 dodge ram 2500 diesel per instructions for installation with air bags. I have hauled a 42 foot 3 axle car trailer for over 6,000 miles with no issues. This was a great purchase. Thank you

This hitch is well made and the installation went easily. It mounted exactly to existing frame holes and has worked "without a hitch" pun inteded, since install. I would recommend this for anyone needing a high quality gooseneck hitch!

Package shipped on time and was a day early. The installation took around 3 hours but that is due to no lift and working on the ground. Good instructions for installation and so far good quality. Packaging was a little bit rough but think that is due to the carrier. All parts were there and accounted for. etrailer has good reviews and its because they care and are easy to work with. Would recommend this product to others.

To start I really appreciate ETrailer’s customer service and their help correcting any issues. With that said the initial order had some issues. I received 1 of 2 boxes fast and in tact. At the time I didn’t know there were 2 boxes so it sat until I was going to install and realized i was missing the rail installation kit. I wasn’t forewarned at any point during or after shipment of the first box that there was an issue with the second box (damaged, not picked up by ups). Once realized I call customer service and they remedied the situation very quickly. The second box came quick, made it to me in 3 days, but was heavily damaged. I thought for sure there was going to be missing items. After doing a quick inventory I was only short 2 lock washers that I can pick up at the hardware store. This could have caused some serious issues as I have a important job coming up and this would have caused me to start late and as most know time is money. I hope ETrailer understands the potential issues these carriers could cause it’s great customer base. I’ve read a good amount of reviews and see this issue come up too often. 5 start customer service. Maybe packaging could be a bit more robust to mitigate this sort of thing.

Installed easily on 2015 GMC 2500 HD double cab short bed. Plenty of clearance under the bed when ball is flipped. This system makes for a clean useable bed. When I was purchasing this I was concerned about clearance of a gooseneck hitch and my transfer tank. I have a 40 gal tank that sits back from the cab a bit over 20 inches, there’s plenty of clearance for a gooseneck with a fuel tank on this short bed. The hitch has held up perfectly over the last year. I haul around 12k on steep, washboard, gravel roads.

Great product and perfect fit for my 2005 GMC Sierra duramax. I just purchased a Montana fifth wheel and wanted to still be able to use the bed of the truck without taking a heavy hitch in and out and breaking my back. The hitch arrived really fast and the boxes were in pretty good shape and I was only missing one washer from a torn parts bag. I was able to install the hitch that weekend with help of the directions and how to YouTube video. The only issue I had was that the video stated the crossbar with the notch went to the rear while the directions showed it going to the front. It definitely goes to the front and was pretty obvious when installing it. I didn’t have any real issues with the install and it looks great and hides away nicely leaving a clean flat bed. I look forward to hauling my fifth wheel real soon.

My hitch was delivered very fast, all necessary hardware and instructions were complete. It bolted up easily in my Silverado. The only thing not provided was a 4 inch hole saw for the hole in the bed. Installation was very straightforward and it has preformed flawlessly since I installed it.
Review from a similar Double Lock in Accessories and Parts
I did the install myself on a 2019 GMC 2500 Short bed. I watched several videos before. I did not remove either mud shield or cut out/remove the heat shield. I chose not to install the chain holders since my Andersen Hitch has it's own tiedown bracket. My bed has a spray liner and therefore the edge covering would not fit the newly cut edges around the hole opening. So be sure to paint the exposed metal. In one of thg he videos a tech use a predrilled board as a guide during the drilling of the bed hole. This was a great idea. Since I chose to keep the heat shield installed I had to lift the main unit into place by sliding it up between the gas tank and rear differential unit. I think it would have been very helpful to have a tools required list before I started. Also, the tip about cleaning out the powdercoated threads was very good idea. Preptime, tapping threads, install and cleanup (tool put away) was over 6hrs....and I skipped a lot of disassembling a n.v d reassemble steps. Everything was straight forward and understandable. A lift would have been great but I used rear ramps which was enough. Make sure you get a step ladder for bed entry now. I expect it to work as expected. Seems very solid!

Fits like it's supposed to. Does take a good 3 1/2 hrs to install. Hole was hardest part. Truck bed metal is very hard to go through even with new hole saw. Don't let it walk with you and do go the 44 1/4" from end of bed. I went 44 1/8 and had a little trouble with bolts touching cross bar. Great Quality !! watch [online videos] it really helps alot.
Review from a similar Double Lock in Accessories and Parts
Haven't used it yet but I'm sure it will perform just fine. Install was a pain but not technically difficult as long as you follow the video, the provided instructions aren't very helpful. I managed to remove and reinstall the exhaust heat shield instead of cutting it unlike one of the videos suggested. But the provided template for drilling the hole in the bed is very helpful and confidence building (I don't think the comparable B&W provides one, just measurements). I also like the double latch system on the ball and especially the hideaway feature. It is finished nicely with chrome, rubber ring for the bed, and black cap so it looks great as well inside the bed. I was missing some bolts and washers but etrailer sent them out ASAP! The only gripe of the product I have is they didn't utilize the factory weld nuts on my truck's frame for the factory installed hitch which would make the install a little easier/cleaner, and instead make you fish a bolt an washer through the frame. Probably a reason for that or maybe an oversight. But overall happy so far

The Curt gooseneck hitch works great. It was a very easy install. Thanks for all the help.
Review from a similar Double Lock in Accessories and Parts
I think this gooseneck hitch is the best for newer Sierra/Silverado HD trucks. I installed it a week ago with the help of my father-in-law and his car lift. Took about 4 hours moving slowly and taking our time. Everything fit well and bolted right up. I also reinstalled the foil heat shield after removing one mounting ear. I did not drop the exhaust or the plastic heat shield and still got everything in. I chose this specific kit because it did not require notching the bed seam when installing the rails. It also has a higher tongue load rating than the others and was cheaper. The only major criticism I have is the pull wire and carriage bolts. My chassis has weld nuts and I would have preferred to use those over carriage bolts pulled into the chassis. I am thankful there were access holes almost inline with the mounting holes. That made it easy to put pressure on the bolt heads so they didn’t fall back. I also think the gasket around the big hole should be one piece to make it look cleaner. I used black silicone rtv to smooth the transition and adhere the gasket in place. Overall I am completely satisfied with the kit and the help of Shawn B who got my order in, had it shipped that same day and followed up with me after delivery. Thanks etrailer and Shawn B.

Install was easy other than having to ream out the holes on 2 brace pieces because the bolt included in the kit was too large to fit. After install the hitch is easy to use and tucks out of the way nicely when not in use.

I installed the Curt gooseneck on my 1993 GMC 2 Wheel Dr. 2500 truck. All the components have tight tolerances. It took me eight hours. With a socket and the wrench. Laying on my back. I did have to cut the wheel well lip about 3/8 of an inch off because I could not get that front angle bar to slide in without hitting it, no way around it unless you lift the bed up and I wasn’t going to do that!!. You have to cut it.instructions do not state that. I’m very happy with the Hitch, it is definitely stout! I did have to make a notch on the outside brackets to go over my airbag bolt. I also had to remove the support bracket on the inside of the frame for the airbag and the crossmember for the spare tire to get the front angled bar in.

Product installed on my 2000 F250 fairly easy, having access to a lift was a huge help. Only issue i had was the box was torn and some bolts were missing. etrailer shipped replacements out the following day.
