Center Section for Curt Double Lock, Flip and Store Gooseneck Hitch - 30,000 lbs

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! 824432

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. 1095473

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

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. 778056

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 1191271

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. 1016782

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. 911666

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 1238189

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! 871571

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. 927832

Working well after a years of use. Pull a stock trailer with cows in it and have no issues with this product.

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. 497865

In order to tow your fifth wheel trailer with your new gooseneck hitch, youll need an adapter of some sort. If you use the provided link, you can see the various options available.

Great addition to my towing needs. I have taken the hitch out many times and it has always performed well.

This hitch looks really beefy! I was really impressed with every aspect of this purchase, starting with the easily navigable website, helpful staff (Korren), speedy delivery and quality product. I will have to make sure that all the nuts and bolts are there because the bag was busted open a little and so was the box it was in. I will let you know, but I would not hesitate to shop etrailer again. 1236837

The product fits well. I didn't care for the packaging, as it came to my place with the box completely wrapped in packing tape to keep the contents from falling out. The box was destroyed. My hardware for the installation was missing one bolt and the bag was ripped open with the hardware floating around in a ripped up box. I wish the instructions were more clear for a gas trucks, not just diesel. I figured it out and installed it in about 4-5hrs in my driveway. 1173825

I apologize for the damaged package and missing hardware. Customer Service will reach out to you.

After a quick reminder from Etrailer, and one year of installation of this hitch, a quick note on it's functionality. I'll say that after decades of using a traditional 5th wheel hitch setup, this has been an absolute great move. I also moved away from the traditional 5th plate hookup, and went with the Ultimate Hitch because of the ease of installation and removal of the hitch. 35 lbs .. and no strained back putting it in or out. These two moves have been the best move for hauling my trailer AND having the bed of my truck available for daily use. Solid hookup! 825060

A Year and ... I still stand by my original posting regarding these two products! I will say that before every trip, I double check the torque on all connecting points. Its a must do for both safety reasons and peace of mind while traveling. On occasion, the coupling front pair of set screws set @ 40ftlbs on the coupling portion of the Ultimate Hitch have loosened from their 40 ftlb setting. A quick check and never more than a small pull of the torque wrench and were back in business. Weve pulled many setups since 2006, and this setup is, in my opinion, still the best and most comfortable pulling experience weve ever had while pulling our 5th. Happy hauling and camping!

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. 468718

Took me the better part of a day to install only because I cleaned and painted the frame where it was being attached. It works great, I use it to haul a gooseneck equipment trailer with a 10,000 lb excavator. The ability to flip the ball gives you full use of the bed when not hauling. Was a smart purchase in my opinion 1129124

I ordered the curt gooseneck for my 2005 duramax mainly because I want to get me a bigger goose neck trailer to be able to make a camper/ toy hauler combo plus I can haul a dump trailer and campers with out borrowing a truck now . Anywho strainers website has tons of info so I could make the purchase knowing it will be what I needed. The hitch arrived really fast boxes were in great shape, and a week later I finally got the chance to install the directions and how to video made it really simple I didn’t have any issues with the install and it looks great and hides away nice I will be hauling with it really soon 480714

Product meets expectations. Packing needs improvement. Box was split and some hardware escaped. Missing some nuts and washers needed for installation. Had to purchase missing hardware to complete installation. 1181550

The manufacturer prefers to have you use the hardware that comes with the hitch. I will have our customer service department reach out to you.

I usually have nothing but great things to say about etrailer. And one box showed up great. The other had been opened taped shut dropped, kicked the condition of the box prompted me to take inventory of the hardware. I was missing 1 bolt and a handful of washers. A quick trip to the hardware store will have it fixed up but it was disappointing nonetheless. 1120994

Thank you for your review. Customer Service will reach out to you about the missing hardware.

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

excellent, no problems, i love it !
