Pair this center section with a custom mounting kit (sold separately) to get a complete hitch for towing your gooseneck trailer. Ball easily folds down for complete access to your truck bed when you're not towing.

by:

This hitch was purchased to replace old drop down gooseneck, which ball had become loose and sloppy. This hitch fit perfectly in the place of the old one, only took about and hour to replace. It is a much better design, easier to pull up from the down position, and the hidden safety chain loops are much nicer. We pull a 20ft eight horse stock trailer or a 30ft fifth wheel travel trailer with a goose neck extension regularly behind our 2001 dodge diesel, and this product has been Great!



by:

Great description of the gooseneck I wanted I had an issue with my ball sitting below the flatbed so I added your product to the top of flatbed works perfect.



by:

I see that a box came 2 days later than the others. Would you like to update your review?



by:

Awesome product i have zero issues with it and it bolted right on in place of the one i had service from etrailer was also excellent



by:

Perfect replacement for my old fold down ball, easy install, I could not be happier!



by:

Wow it was so easy to install and an awsome product thank you for the quick shipping.



by:

It came much sooner than expected so that was appreciated. It will be used on a homemade 350 pick up body to haul a 24' trailer, with equipment or logs. It has yet to be installed.



by:

Top notch! We installed some of these years ago and were disappointed with the quality. But since then Curt has clearly improved this product significantly. I'm impressed will be buying again.



by:

Simple to use, fairly easy to install, seems good.



by:

Exactly what I needed and ordered. Well packed and came at a great price. Looks great!

  • Do You Have a Replacement Folding Gooseneck Hitch for a 1999 Ford F-350?
    Hey Neal. Whatever gooseneck hitch you currently have in your 1999 Ford F-350 I do not think we have anymore. I could not find any gooseneck hitch with a 10" x 10" bolt pattern. However, I found one extremely close. The closest comparable option we have in a folding ball gooseneck hitch is the Curt item # C61332-52. The Curt item # C61332-52 has 6 mounting bolt holes. I have included an image with the measurements for this as the front to back mounting holes are 9-3/4" on center while...

  • Is There a Gooseneck Folding Ball For a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Which Fits Atwood Mounts
    The Center Section # C-52 for the Curt Overbed, Folding Ball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # C61341-52 is very close to the measurements you provided. I have included an image with the measurements for this as the front to back mounting holes are 9-3/4" on center while the side to side bolts are 10" on center. As these measurements are only 1/8" different than what you found that would be roughly 1/16" for each hole so you may be able to use the plate. Do understand it is a better idea to go...

  • 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Correct Gooseneck Fit
    The mounting bolt holes for the top plate of the (discontinued) Remov-A-Ball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Custom Installation Kit 6300-4435 measures 12-3/8" x 10" (see attached photo). This doesn't quite line up with the spacing on your Curt Center Section # C-52 but we do have some other gooseneck options for your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500. I recommend going with the B&W Gooseneck Hitch as it allows you to store the ball upside down in the receiver plus you won't have that plate sitting above...

  • Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for a 1996 Ford F-450
    If your Ford F-450 has an actual bed and is not a cab and chassis model (with a service bed or flatbed) then you can use the Curt universal folding gooseneck ball rail kit # C61502. You could then use Curt hitch # C-52 or # C65500. A custom hitch for a 1996 Ford F-450 is not available. If you do have a cab and chassis model then you can still use # C65500 but it will require some custom fabrication by having a qualified professional first weld a 1/2 inch steel plate to the frame.

  • Will the B and W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch Fit a Curt Gooseneck Hitch
    We have fifth wheel adapter options for Curt gooseneck hitches, but adapters like the Companion or the Hi-Rise will not work with Curt gooseneck hitches. The B and W Companion Fifth Wheel Hitch is only compatible with B and W gooseneck hitches, so it will not work with a Curt gooseneck hitch. Turnoverball is actually a trademark of B and W, but Curt does have the Folding Ball Gooseneck Hitch, # C-52. If this is the hitch you have, then I recommend using a fifth-wheel-to-gooseneck adapter...

  • Is There a Replacement Ball Available for Curt OverBed Gooseneck Hitches
    For the Curt Overbed Gooseneck Hitches like the part # C61301-52 I have a solution for you that I can recommend, but Curt does not sell replacement balls for this hitch. Instead you would have to replace the top plate assembly with part # C-52.

    The Curt Overbed, Folding Ball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Installation Kit # C61503-52 is the correct fit for your 1998 GMC K1500.

  • Can Hardware for Curt Gooseneck Trailer Hitch C-52 be Reused on a Different Truck
    You will want to use new hardware because the original hardware is meant for one-time installation only and should not be torqued down again. The bolts stretch when torqued so they wouldn't work properly. For installation I have included a link to the installation details for you. The Curt hitch # C-52 can be used with universal rail kit # C61502 and I have linked its instructions as well but they are sparse. Basically you will need to have the gooseneck ball centered over the rear axle...

  • Cost Effective Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for a 1999 Ford F-250 Long Bed
    The most cost effective gooseneck trailer hitch we have for your 1999 Ford F-250 Long Bed is the Curt Overbed, Folding Ball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # C61332-52. The Curt 600 Series Gooseneck Installation Kit part # C60644 only fits the 2011 + models and it also does not come with the center section. If you already have a center section please just let me know what that is and I can see if the install kit/rails are available separately. For example, if you have part # C-52 the rails/kit...

  • Is there an Offset Gooseneck Ball for Factory Gooseneck Hitch in a 2015 Ford Truck
    Reese, who makes the factory gooseneck hitch for the 2015 Ford trucks, does not have an offset gooseneck ball that fits that particular mount. but another possible option is an offset gooseneck coupler such as # BWTEXA4200. It features a 10 inch offset, which is going to be much more than any ball would have. It fits a 2-5/16 inch ball and has an outer diameter of 4 inches.
