Video Transcript for Breaking Down the Center Section for Curt EZr Double Lock Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch

Today we're going to take a look at the Curt EZR Double Lock Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with a 30,000 pound weight capacity.Now this heavy duty underbed hitch will let you tow your gooseneck trailer. It uses a double lock system which provides added security using two pins that'll hold the ball in place instead of your normal just one. It has a nice chrome plated hitch ball which will easily remove when you're not towing for complete access to your truck bed. Basically all you have to do is pull your handle out to unlock it and it'll pop right out. Flip it over. There's a little handle underneath here, drop it like back into place, release your handle and it'll lock it there and it'll be stored in upside down in your hitch for easy access.

It does have a nice chrome ring that'll surround the hitch ball hole, provides a nice tight low profile look. It does come with this included rubber cover and when it is being stored, you can put it in there to keep anything from falling in there.It does have a nice comfort grip handle here, can be positioned on either side of the truck bed. You can have it on the driver's side or flip it over the passenger side, whichever you prefer. And on the locking mechanism, they do use a zinc plating to help provide superior corrosion resistance.Now the, if you notice here we've included the 5/8 inch thick spring loaded safety chain hookups. They are all built in and to install this, it is an easy one person installation.

It does require a custom installation kit for your application. We do sell that separately on our website. What I would recommend is to go to the website, use the fit guide, put in your year model vehicle, and it'll show you what installation kit you would need to install this to your vehicle. The other nice feature on this, is you'll notice this orange center ball locator, helps eliminate any drilling errors.When you go to install this, what you want to do is just drop this into the hole and when you go put it up underneath the truck bed, there's a little hole in the middle. You drill a pilot hole through there and then you go up on top and then take your 4 inch hole saw that you're going to cut out your hole for your gooseneck ball and this'll still be in there.

When you drill down, as you're drilling the hole to let you know when you've gotten far enough, the orange shavings will start to appear and that'll let you know that you drilled far enough so that you can stop. Saves you a lot of time by using that.Now they do also offer some extra accessories you can use with this hitch. They have an adapter plate, which is part number C16220. That can be purchased separately and it allows for fifth wheel towing. It would just drop, the shank would drop into this and allow you to put in tow a fifth wheel.

And they also offer an offset hitch ball. It's part number C602. that's available to create additional space between your cab and trailer.Now these parts are made in the USA. Again, the gooseneck ball size is 2 5/16 diameter. Let me just pull this out, twist it to hold it in the open position, drop it into place, and again, just twist it to release it and unlock it. And as I mentioned, the diameter of the gooseneck ball's 2 5/16, gross towing weight capacity on this is 30,000 pounds. Tongue weight capacity is 7,500 pounds and as I mentioned, it does require a 4 inch hole to be drilled in your truck bed to be able to access this opening. It does come with a nice set of installation instructions that'll describe how everything is installed and how it operates.But that should do it for the review on the Curt EZR Double Lock Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch With the 30,000 pound weight capacity.
