Most Popular Manual Ball Removal for 2006 Dodge Ram Pickup

Great fit. I installed this hitch in 4 hours with a little help from my wife. She helped me fish a chain through the hole in the bed and attach it to a floor jack. We use it in conjunction with an Andersen Ultimate fifth wheel hitch. I used it to pull a 16,000 lb fifth wheel trailer 100 miles with no issues. Everything is still tight.

B&W and Etrailer are a great combo. I just ordered this hitch after having a similar one in my 06 Ram. I really like the hitch. I also like that the companion fifth wheel and other B&W accessories can be used on both trucks. I just installed last night and by myself it took about 5 hours. Watch the video and read the instructions. Take your time and do the prep work to get ready for install. I didn’t remove the rear muffler portion and still had plenty of room. I did have a ceiling lift that helps center and lift the hitch portion through the hole. If you don’t have that make sure you have help. Fit as expected with minimal issue. I did not trim the wheel well plastic but may so the handle isn’t hidden. I installed hitch then replaced plastic bedliner and drilled hole through hitch opening from underneath. I also drilled the u-bolt holes with bedliner in and they fit perfectly between the rises.

The hitch was better than I thought it would be. Installation was easy with the enclosed instruction sheets. The Quality of the hitch assy. is great. I highly recommend this hitch. The wiring harness worked great and was easy to install.

The hitch works fine and I like it. 2 stars because the kit came with 2 driver's side frame brackets. etrailer and Curt could not figure out how to send me the part they shorted me on and I had to purchase another mount kit for one bracket. I would not recommend this product for that reason. I basically had to buy it twice.

I placed the order for this on a Sunday evening knowing it wouldn’t be processed till Monday. It said it would be delivered on Thursday and it was. The I received was completely destroyed with all the parts laying on one end of the box and all the supposed packaging torn up and the parts bag ripped open. After getting everything out of the box, I laid out the parts to see what was missing. There were 13 different pieces missing so was unable to put this in and I needed it to pull a trailer that weekend. I immediately called to let them know how the package arrived and that I was missing parts. After giving them the list, I said I would need them overnighted because I needed to use it this weekend. I was told that since it was free shipping that it was impossible to do and the would ship it out sometime next week and maybe get it by Thursday. This was the first time I ordered from this company and it will certainly be my last.

I ordered the Curt ball,and safety chain kit for my new 2018 Ram 2500 with factory hitch. A excellent value,for a quality product, that saved me a lot of money compared to OEM dealer price. Fast shipping had me ready to tow, in no time at all.

I bought this product to us in my 2016 Ram 2500 with the 5th wheel prep and an Andersen Ultimate hitch. It is top notch quality, and the anchors DO work with my Ultimate hitch. The fit is tight, but the anchor mounts do clear the hitch base. This is a well made product in a nice storage case. I recommend it.

installation took us about 4.5 hours total on Dodge Ram 2500 2006. removed both wheel well covers, and wheel tire assembly to get torque wrench on large bolts. why the big spacers, leave little bolt in nut contact? Product seems solid...

Seems to be very well built. Shipping was very fast. Will definitely purchase other products.

Very nice hitch, took me about 3 hrs to install on a 2014 RAM 2500 6.5 bed with help from the wife. The hitch is very thick steel, probably close to 1/2". The ball works great, very easy to secure and remove. Very happy with the hitch and glad I chose it over the turnover ball which seems to be slightly harder to install. Some tips... remove spare tire, remove heat shield, drill the 3 1/4" hole, make sure to use a good hole saw made for metal, positition the nuts using the brackets, have someone get the bolts started while you hold the hitch. Tighten the bolts, you will probably have to remove the exhaust hangers to move the exhaust enough to tighten the passenger side bolts, torque to spec, drill the safety hook holes, install safety hooks and put everything back together...thats pretty much it. I took my truck and had the bed Linex'd after I installed the hitch. They touched up around the holes. Looks awesome!

Ordered the Curt underbed gooseneck trailer hitch for my Ram 2500 from etrailer.com. The pricing was great and hitch was delivered quickly. Installation is easy with assistance from one other person. This is a quality hitch and will serve my needs.

So far seems to be a good product. Went together well and fit right under the bed. Cant beat the price. Thanks E-Trailer

Fantastic product, installed easily, looks great in the truck and does everything I wanted it to. I preferred this hitch over the b & w.

Get a turnover ball and don’t be the sucker I ended up. I laugh every time I think of the convenience I thought I was getting by not having to climb in the back of the truck. I don’t know if mine is defective or if this device is actually a workout program mixed with an anger management exercise in disguise. I’ve been using it for a year now, but within a month I developed a strategy for getting my trailer hooked up. First I climb into the back of the truck to cut the duct tape off I’ve used to attach the worthless rubber cap which falls off every chance it gets, filling the mechanism with whatever you have in your truck. If you ever plan to do anything with the bed of the truck besides pulling your gooseneck, haul hay, a four wheeler, anything dirty it will definitely jam your ball. After the tape is off I fight the first lever, I yank, turn, pull, twist, bang, swivel, dance this lever into the exact position. I climb under the truck and cover myself with wheel grease and scum getting the thing to unlock. Then the second lever, to lift and drop the ball. Repeat the steps of the first lever with less twisting, but add climbing into the bed with a hammer, banging the ball, climbing underneath, banging the lift arm, banging underneath, shaking, bouncing and sweet talking this POS into the upward position. Stop to spit curse and wipe the sweat out of your eyes and clean any wounds you got banging your knuckles. Now repeat the first lever steps AGAIN, including going under, going up, and under and in the wheel well so far you find whatever you ran over the other day that made you say “hmm” all over the front of your shirt. Repeat in opposite order when you want to put it down. I’m so embarrassed about this hunk of junk that I stop on the side of the road a half hour before I get to anything I’ve got to pick up just so no one has to see me cursing, crying and throwing a tantrum getting this thing in place. Please don’t buy this item, you don’t deserve this kind of punishment.

Nice solid unit that will definitely last a lifetime but even new this unit is not very user friendly. I have it installed on a 99 c/k3500. Installation of the unit was easy but the 2 levers for raising and locking the ball are not well designed. if you pull the left handle to far, the ball gets stuck in the down position and you have to crawl under the truck and push it back up. The right handle is supposed to somehow lock it into position but I have yet to figure out a reliable system for doing that. I had to shorten both handles to clear the rear tire and with the tire blocking the handles it is difficult and dirty to operate them and usually you smash your hands when the levers do finally go into place. The rubber cap is worthless and generally ends up bouncing out. On my 2nd truck, I went with the style you put the ball in by hand and it is a much easier unit to operate.

Works great. Glad we bought it. Was a little tough to install for somebody that has never done one but after doing it I can now do them again. Will be buying another one at a later time for my other truck I am currently working on.

The product seems to be great quality. Nothing really lined up so I had to make a few minor modifications. But the company had it at my door in 2 days free shipping... It was 106 pounds. That's what I call impressive

Hitch was easy to set up and install. Looks very good and the knowledgeable and courteous staff help me get the correct hitch as I had rails already installed on my truck when I purchased it and had no idea what brand it was. A big thank you needs to go out to all the etrailer staff!

I recently purchased a 2016 Ram 3500 with 5th wheel tow package already present on truck. I wanted an additional goose neck product and looked at various suppliers online and found etrailer products offered for sale. After to speaking with Heather who answered all my questions as well as reviewed feedback from customers I chose to go with the Reese gooseneck kit. I received the product within the shipping date provided to me and I went out to install it. It took me all of 3 mins to install with no issues. I did my best to remove, shake and couldn't get them to budge. It took me a total of 5 mins to remove the parts and storing them back under the rear seat. The parts fit perfect, look great as well as we're the cheapest price I could find. Their online video is all the install instructions you need! I will definitely use etrailer in the future. Thanks Heather!
