To see if this custom-fit item will work for you please tell us what vehicle you'll use it with.
This hitch is made for serious towing. With a gross towing weight of 30,000 lbs and a vertical load limit of 7,500 lbs, it’s ready for heavy-duty jobs like hauling equipment, livestock, or large fifth wheel conversions. The solid steel hitch ball and reinforced structure give you the confidence that your setup will stay stable under the toughest loads.
When you’re done towing, you can fold the ball down into the hitch plate to open up the bed for whatever you need to haul next. Just pull up the door near the ball, pivot it down, and close the door over it for a flat surface. When it’s time to tow again, use the easy-to-grab T-handle to raise the ball back upright—even with work gloves on—and you’re ready to hook up.
The built-in T-handle makes raising or lowering the ball quick and comfortable, while the stainless steel safety pin and pivot spring inside the ball help prevent binding during operation. The design is straightforward—no complicated parts or tools—and includes two U-bolt safety chain loops for secure connections every time you tow.
The included installation kit is designed specifically for your vehicle and uses bolt-on mounting—no welding required. The black carbide powder coated finish resists corrosion and keeps everything looking clean. This setup gives you a reliable, heavy-duty gooseneck system that’s built to last and ready for real work.

Product is very good but the company is great, My package came torn at the corner with all but 3 pieces missing. 1 phone call to etrailer and they reshipped the parts I was missing with no problems at all. They take care of UPS problems, I received my replacement parts within 3 days Thanks e trailer Jim
Fast shipping, received in 2 days, installed day I received, great quality, customer service was very helpful. Instructions that came with the Curt 30k gooseneck hitch was not detailed but barely sufficient if you have basic mechanical skills,
Over all a very stout set up but I was disappointed that I have factory threaded inserts in my frame for gooseneck hitches less than 2 inches from where this one mounts but this just didn't utilize them. It does use holes in the frame so there isn't any drilling though. Also you have to cut the bottom seam of the bed inside the wheel well (per instructions) to get the cross members in and have to cut a rather large square hole in the bed floor instead of just a hole for the ball ( also per instructions).
The ball works just fine once you get it up and locked. The locking mechanism has to be greased or never-ceased almost every time. The tie downs for safety chains were hampered during installation by an existing cross member, but we got it in. Overall as for useability I vote "works fine" as for installation instructions are close.
Inside the bed it closes to give me all working area, I would buy it again.
Good product, at a great price
Not very happy with this hitch. Install was much more difficult than my prior hitch. It's intrusive in the bed (the big rectangular plate is thick and you always know it's there). One winter on it and it's rusting and becoming difficult to deploy. It's hard to get the pin extended to secure the ball at times. Overall it's just not an impressive product in my opinion.
Haven’t installed yet but looks good shipping was not good box open all hardware all over
its solid , no issues so far ...... the only little detail is the chain connectors they somehow by design tend be difficult to extend up and down but its an easy fix that got done on day one and no problem since
Very nice product!!! Works well and is easy to install. Would have given it a 5 star but the product did not come with install papers so had to look up online. I tow a 28 foot gooseneck regularly and it does great!!! Also like that it lays flat in bed for when I need to haul something without trailer.
I was looking for a 5th wheel solution and found this setup. Install was strait forward and Easy. It workes great with my 26 foot camper trailer. It folds almost flat with the bed floor for a flat load surface for sheet goods. The bottom of the mount does not drop to low to impead with exhaust pipe, hoses, drive shaft or rear diff. A great product sold by a good company that's there with support and solutions. Thanks etrailer.
Terrible instructions need more actual pics of where to place the plates ect.
Etrailer is awesome, not so much for this product.
My first and primary issue is that the safety chain u-bolts are positioned to close to the angle iron brackets to allow clearance for them to freely move up and down with the nuts installed (see photos). I can force them up from below with a hammer and stomped them back down from above. This problem is made worse due to the proximity to the ball, if I dont ensure they arent stomped down as much as possible they would interfere with my coupler when turning. I'm honestly still worried about interference if I find myself in any off camber turn.
The other problem I have isnt the fault of the hitch, but now that its installed it is still much more intrusive to the bed space when folded flat than I anticipated. In the past I've had under bed mount balls, this being a work truck I thought the cheaper option would work but I regret that decision.
Great product, very easy to install. Did it in an afternoon by myself. A lift is helpful but it could be done with jack stands on the ground.
The hitch is heavy duty. The brackets that bolt to the frame seem too flimsy. They should be twice as thick as they are. A couple of the bolt holes did not line up so we ended up drilling my frame to mount. Would not recommend this if you are not comfortable drilling holes and cutting on your frame or bed.
Quick Delivery, Direct Fit
Orderd one was out of stock, ordered another one came today looks great will install this weekend and let you know how it goes.
The hitch was delivered fast on date eastamated was as easy to install as direction said very happy with hitch and service THANK YOU JOE P
Seems good, the only thing was I was under the impression from the directions and the videos for installation that I could install without removing my truck bed. That was not the case.
Got this for the 01 2500HD Sierra. Metal is extremely thick and strong. However, The holes for the bracket pull the cross bars up to the bottom of the truck better. Makes it seem like a lot of the weight is resting on the bolts and not the crossbars/frame.
This Curt Overbed folding ball goose trailer hitch has worked like a charm since installing last summer. I would recommend it to customers looking for replacement gooseneck hitches on their rigs.
