This hitch is made for serious towing jobs. With a gross towing weight of 30,000 lbs and a vertical load limit of 7,500 lbs, it’s ready for heavy livestock trailers, equipment haulers, or large fifth wheel conversions. The double-lock system uses two locking pins instead of one for extra security, giving you a solid, confident connection even when the trailer’s loaded down.
When the trailer’s unhooked, reclaim your truck bed in minutes. Just pull the handle, remove the chrome-plated 2-5/16" ball, flip it over, and drop it back into the hitch hole for storage. The below-bed design keeps the bed surface clear so you can haul gear or materials without working around a hitch sticking up. A rubber cover fits over the ball hole to keep out dirt and grime when it’s stowed.
The comfort-grip handle sits in the driver’s side wheel well so you can lock or release the hitch without crawling under the truck. Turn it to engage or release the dual locking pins that hold the ball tight in place. The built-in safety chain hookups are easy to reach, and the chrome ring around the ball hole gives a clean, low-profile look when everything’s locked down.
Every part of this system is designed for durability. The locking mechanism is zinc plated to resist corrosion, and the black powder coated steel frame stands up to years of use in any weather. Grade 8 hardware comes standard in the installation kit for dependable strength every time you tow.

This is the second hitch I’ve ordered from etrailer. This first one back in 2007 I had a GM dealer install. This recent one I installed all by myself! Very easy and straight forward instructions. Hardest part is the contortions you have to get yourself into. I did have a bit of an issue getting the plate itself over the gas tank. Video suggests lowering the tail pipe. Instead I just took out the bolt on the rear cross rail drivers side and loosened the passenger side. Swung the cross rail back, slipped the plate in and reinstalled the rear cross rail. Oh and the shipping was fast! Very, very pleased.
Purchased the C607-604 goose neck hitch for my 2011 2500HD. Installed the hitch myself, pretty simple, Anthony was very helpful with emailing me installation information. Will be using the hitch to pull stock trailer. I shopped around and felt etrailer offered the best deal and am happy with the purchase. Thanks.
I bought a new horse trailer that was a gooseneck and needed a hitch for my 2016 Silverado and found this one. My dad and husband installed it in about 3 hours (would not have taken that long if they hadn’t lost a bolt). They watched the installation video once and everything else was pretty self explanatory. (Take it they have never installed a gooseneck before). The next day I tested it to see how it pulled and it worked amazing! Will definitely be buying another to put in our other truck.
This company helped me from step 1 on deciding which gooseneck hitch to go with, installation videos and checking up on after receipt of the hitch. The hitch was super easy to install with the template for drilling the hole that was included, this hitch by far exceeds the little extra touches you get with a more expensive hitch, the pull handle is a heavier gage, the double locking pin, and even the dust cover to keep out the dirt and gravel from the turnover ball! Great product
I've had my gooseneck ball hitch for about a year now and I absolutely love it. I use it alot and I love that I can flip the ball over for storage when I'm not using it so I have full use of my truck bed. It is very easy to install, I did it myself self in a few hours. Overall a great product and would definitely recommend to others.
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
It’s been one year since I installed this gooseneck hitch on my truck. The video was straightforward and I was able to install an afternoon. Since then I have towed my horse trailer several thousand miles in all sorts of climates and conditions with absolutely no issues. Only suggestion , Is make sure every six months or so you lube the height of all lever and mechanism to prevent sticking. I installed this hitch for a fraction of what all the local trailer and towing stores quoted me.
I’ve had this hitch for about a year, and it’s great! It does exactly as it should. The only complaint is the red grip on the pull handle was basically sun faded and rotted after about 2 months.
Very satisfied with hitch . Installation was
Easy , except drill template was made improperly and extra measurements were required prior to drilling 4" ball hole.
Also would suggest that Curt should clean paint out of all threaded holes prior to shipping.

Great, have bought and installed one in my 2017, design improvements for drill template and frame flange mounting are great
Hitch was as promised. Installed by myself and fit perfect in a 2018 2500 HD Chevy. I lost a u-bolt spring during installation and CURT replaced it free of charge. etrailer employees were great and hitch was delivered quick. I highly recommend etrailer, CURT and this hitch.

Still like it. I recommend it.
Good fit. Instructions and video worked well.
The video was extremely helpful. All holes lined up and installation went smoothly.
This is an amazing hitch. It came with good instructions and I installed it myself. If you don't remove the truck bed, it is a little hard to tighten the hold down bolts, but it is possible. Good quality material and I've had no issues.
Highly recommend it.
Easy to install just follow the video on website. I did it by myself. Took about 2 hours. Thanks.

After one year the hitch is still working great. I tow my tractor all the time with no issues.
Overall, great hitch. Only complaint was the powder coat in the threads.
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.
Wonderful customer service parts arrived as promised. The box was damaged doing ship but everything was still there. Very easy installation. The front rail and goose neck plate have a indention to clear fuel tank. The indention still rubs the fuel tank, I had to pry up on the rails before tightening the side mounts. Other then that everything else was pretty smooth.
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
Installation was not to bad. The installation video was better than the written directions. Delivery time was good. I really like how it operates,
A well-designed, high-quality gooseneck hitch kit, that I probably could have installed myself if I would have had a hydraulic lift available. The installation video was very well done.
After reading through the installation manual, thank you so much for the video. I used that as a reference while reading. Not sure I would have understood everything if that hadn’t been available.
Do you have a question about this Gooseneck Hitch?

One year later and my hitch is still excellent! The red grip looks exactly the same but not much else has changed.
