Today, we're going to take a look at the Curt double lock flip and store gooseneck hitch, has a 30,000 pound weight capacity. This is a heavy duty hitch, which is very dependable and easy to use. It does use a double lock system to provide added security with 2 pins instead of 1. Basically, in most goosenecks, there's just 1 pin that slides across and holds it in place. This one actually has a dual pin setup. Also, on the locking mechanism, it has a zinc plating to provide superior corrosion resistance.
If you notice, it has a chrome plated hitch ball right here, and this will easily remove when you're not towing to give you complete access to your truck bed. The way you would do that, right now, we have it locked in with the dual pins, just pull on this handle. When you pull it out far enough, you can just twist it, and it'll hold it in the open position. Then you'll be able to pull the ball right out. I'll turn it. You can see there's the dual pins where the 2 pins go through to hold it in place.
Basically, just flip the ball over. There's a little handle right there on the top you can hold onto, drop it back into the hole, and it'll store upside down in the hitch for easy access. All you have to do then is release the handle, the 2 pins slide across, and lock it into the stow position. The nice thing is they give you this nice rubber cover, and you just put that on over it. What that allows it doesn't allow any dirt or grime from falling down in that hole when the ball's being stowed. You also notice right around here they have a nice chrome ring that surrounds the hitch ball hole.
This is to provide a nice, tight low profile look. Also, if you notice, it comes with these spring loaded safety chain hookups right here, so you just hook your safety chains there. It'll hold them right into place. Now, to install this, it does require a Curt 600 series installation kit. We do sell those separately. They are fit for each particular vehicle, so we do recommend to go to our website, use our fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle, and it'll show you which installation kit is needed to install this on your vehicle.
To install it, there's no welding required. The truck bed does not need to be removed for installation. Now, Curt also offers 2 accessories for this, which are pretty unique. They offer a fifth wheel adapter plate. It's part number C16210. We sell that separately on our website. Basically, it's a fifth wheel that's on a mounting plate, and that plate is able to slide right in there and lock it into position. You can actually use a fifth wheel with this gooseneck hitch. Pretty nice feature. The other thing they offer is an offset hitch ball. Instead of the hitch ball being up and down, it's offset some. They do that to create additional space between the cab and the trailer, so you can just drop that ball, and it'll be offset some towards the rear. That's part number C60602. Again, we sell it separately on our website. These parts are all made in the USA. What I'm going to do is go ahead and flip the ball back over. We'll unlock it by pulling the handle, and then just twisting it. It holds it open. Pull the ball back out, flip it over, drop it into position, release it, and, again, it's locked into place. The ball size is your standard 2 and 5/16 diameter gooseneck ball size. Gross towing weight capacity on this is 30,000 pounds. Tongue weight capacity is 7,500 pounds. A couple tips when you do install it, it will require a 4 inch hole to be drilled into your bed to access this hole and 4 half inch holes for the safety chain U-bolts to come through. Again, it does require the Curt 600 series installation kit, which we do sell separately. That should do it for the review on the Curt double lock flip and store gooseneck hitch with the 30,000 pound weight capacity.

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 704141
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. 504346
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. 613576

My Curt gooseneck hitch is absolutely the best on the market. It was easy to install. We did have the bed off for frame cleaning on my 2004 Chevy Silverado. I had a fold down ball originally in the bed. It froze up 6 months after installing. I love the turn over Curt ball hitch. I did have to purchase from etrailer also a 6 inch offset because my Eby Horse trailer has a square front. I would purchase from etrailer again. 590064

the 5 stars are for etrailer.com ! I will have to give the product just 4 for a couple reasons. quality was great, everything went according to plan, except ! they make a slight mention in the instructions to make sure to clean out the threads in the side rails. YOU HAD BETTER, run a 1/2 tap in all the holes in the side rails before starting installation . if you don't, you will really wish you had. also the instructions called for a 44 1/4 measurement from the end of the bed box on the short bed truck. 44 " would have been perfect on mine, the 44 1/4 was a little off. but 5 stars for etrailer, fast shipping, great service. 728450

Gooseneck hitch for Silverado was delivered quickly but not inside the 2 day rush I paid for. As usual, a box was damaged and torn but nothing was missing. etrailer had the best price AND they have good videos on installation. The Curt hitch fit well and is well made. Follow the tips and run a tap through all the threaded holes BEFORE you get Midway in the job and find some difficult to get started while you are twisted around under the truck. 725524

Install was straight forward on 2017 silverado 3500hd. I chose this kit because I don't have to trim any part of the bed to slide the cross rails in. Watching the video helps prepare you a head of time of what you need and to expect. Shipment was quick and undamaged. 644085

This kit was easy to install, easy to follow and read instructions. Had no problems with this kit, and everything fit like advertised. I like being able to flip the ball and not have a tripping hazard in the bed of my truck when not pulling a trailer. 637509

Perfect fit, really snug and tight. Good to have a jack laying around to lift the gooseneck into the right spot to fit bolts into their spots. Towed a 15k trailer to Texas with no complaints. Great gooseneck so far 697332

It was fairly easy to install in my drive way on a 2500hd chevy. Seems to be a good product have pulled trailer several times with no issues. The ball is still easy to remove and reinstall. Overall happy with it. 423977
Review from a similar Curt Double Lock in Accessories and Parts
After watching the etrailer installation video on youtube, I decided I could install this hitch on my own. As a first timer I was able to install this hitch and am very pleased with the result. I like the double lock and the turn over ball. When I'm not pulling my horse trailer, the ball will turn over freeing the bed for other uses. I did have questions during the installation and found the people at customer services to be extremely helpful. Especially Paula and Sammie. 468855

Fast shipping and easy installation. Hardest part was setting the center section in but it was done by myself. Install time of 4 hrs. 349281
Review from a similar Curt Double Lock in Accessories and Parts
Hitch has just been installed. Hitch comes in two cardboard boxes, very poor as components are way to heavy. Longer heavier box was torn open and plastic centering ring to locate four inch hole was gone and small parts were all over in box. Make sure you run a one half inch die into and through all of the holes in the two cross bars. In my case I had to remove and revamp the air bag top supports. Quite a lot of extra work but, they are now reinstalled along with the hitch. Cutting the four inch hole with a hole saw was quite a challenge as the bit would catch the box sheet metal and I could not hold it. As I have had Curt products in the past, I assume this hitch will work for many years. 670765
