Curt EZr Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch Operation
The Curt EZr Double Lock underbed gooseneck trailer hitch provides a sturdy, secure connection for towing your gooseneck trailer and also allows for a clean, unobtrusive look for your truck bed when you aren't towing. To tow, simply pull the included handle out to unlock the hitch. Then insert the chrome-plated hitch ball into the ball hole. You may need to rotate the ball to line it up with the dual locking pins. When the ball drops into place, rotate the handle counterclockwise until the locking pins snap into position. Because there are 2 locking pins instead of 1, you get extra security for your towing setup.
Get full bed access when you're not towing. Just remove the ball, flip it upside down, drop it back into the ball hole of the hitch, and use the handle to lock the ball in place. A rubber cover is included with the EZr Double Lock. When the ball is stowed upside down in the hitch, place this cover over the ball hole to keep out dirt and grime and create a clean look for your vehicle.
Curt Center Locator Tool
The innovative center locator tool included with this gooseneck trailer hitch is designed to make installation fast and easy by eliminating the need to measure where the ball hole must be cut into your truck bed. Once you have the custom installation kit in place and the gooseneck hitch is properly attached to the rails, the bright orange locator will help you to finish installation.
Use the hole at the center of the locator to line up your 3/16" drill bit, and drill up from beneath the bed to create a pilot hole. This pilot hole will be your guide as you cut the 4" diameter ball hole into your truck bed.
When you begin cutting through your bed, the locator will act as a trim shield, ensuring that you don't drill too deep. Continue cutting from the top of your truck bed until orange shavings appear. Once you see these shavings, you've gone far enough. The center locator can be easily removed from the hitch once installation is complete.

Seems heavy duty but the brackets hit the u-bolts and spring top plates. Curt told me I must of installed them wrong. I don't think so1295928
I contacted Curt and they said that there is something different about your truck. I looked through our previous reviews on the matter and came across a similar situation as yours where the brackets hit the U-bolts. One of our experts said that the suspension may be worn and sitting lower than normal causing the issue. The customer then replied a year later saying that he installed air bags on his truck and the problem was resolved. I would check your suspension and see if this would be your solution as well.

hitch itself fit good, Didn't really like the mounting design though. Kit requires one big bolt and a u bolt "Are supplied" that holds it on truck. Seems it could be made more secure with better designed mounting brackets,but overall kit fit well and is working for what i need.1190212

Install was straightforward and the hitch is working perfectly. I had my bed off when I installed, so the process was pretty simple. It would have been more difficult with the bed on, but that isn’t the fault of the hitch. The hitch has been reliable and sturdy, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another Curt from eTrailer!1172055
Installed on a 2002 Ford f250 short bed. this was very easy to install just as specified I chose to remove my 5inch exhaust to make for more room and easier install but it went in smooth and the exhaust went back in with around 1 inch of room to spare so not much modification. The only problem that I have ran into is for some odd reason when I hook up our gooseneck trailer the tongue weight brings the suspension down enough that the side plates actually hit the u-bolt studs that hold the leaf springs to the axle. So idk what’s going on with that but not real happy about it I’m going to have to cut my u-bolts down some in order for it to be able to ride smoothly otherwise the bracket hits the u-bolts every time you hit a bump and it doesn’t sound pleasant at all. Not sure if it’s just this hitch or other ones that do it but the side plates have an edge that sticks out and it’s slamming off of the U-bolts. 610293

I spoke with the folks at Curt, and they were wondering if your truck had the original suspension. If the suspension on the truck is worn, it will sit lower and could cause the issue you describe.

Update 1 year later: I did end up cutting the tops of the u bolts off in order to make clearance for the trailer weight it does fine now. After about two months of that I chose to install air bags on my truck and haven’t had a problem with it since. My only recommendation is oil the pins that lock the ball in place I have noticed over time just road debris and dirt getting in there and it can sometimes have a little resistance going back in with the ball facing down. Other than that good product I would purchase it again.

Review from a similar Ezr Double Lock in Gooseneck Hitch
Easy to install. 64 years old and did it all by myself. So glad I went with this style. Have gooseneck and fifth wheel ability. When I want my full bed there’s no rails in the way. Pulling 13,000-14,000 lb fifth wheel camper. No problems.986161

Review from a similar Ezr Double Lock in Gooseneck Hitch
Nice clean look. Most importantly didn't have to lower exhaust. centering the hitch in the bed was easy because of the template provided. Although install did take longer than what was noted, it was fairly simple. Would definitely purchase again. 821676
Great hitch, working great. Many, many miles on it dragging horses all over the Midwest. Only thing I did was coat locking pins and ball with anti-seize.

Review from a similar Ezr Double Lock in Gooseneck Hitch
I installed this hitch on my 2021 Silverado 2500HD. When first looking under the truck it appeared the exhaust would have to be modified to make the unit fit. The fact is this unit went in without any modifications at all…even all the factory drilled holes lined up perfectly. I recommend this hitch to anyone that has a stock exhaust system.1268636
Review from a similar Ezr Double Lock in Gooseneck Hitch
The install of this hitch was great. Fit fine and works as it should. Only issue I had was that I'm the second owner of the truck and first owner had installed both a gooseneck and a 5th wheel hitch and welded a bunch of brackets to the truck frame, then removed both hitches before he got rid of truck. I had to spend a couple hours grinding the brackets off before I could install new hitch. I had to inlarge hole for the gooseneck ball as the placement of new ball was 2.5"s farther back then the original hitch that had bee there previously.1262927

Review from a similar Ezr Double Lock in Gooseneck Hitch
This hitch was an easy install, only a couple of hours and no welding or bed removal. I would like to thank Gwen, my sales rep, for her great customer service and when I explained I was on a time crunch to get the hitch she assured me that would not be an issue. Sure enough I received the hitch in just a couple of days.1263789

Review from a similar Ezr Double Lock in Gooseneck Hitch
One of the 2 black carrier spacers is gone #60645-cbs. They were loose in the box with the rails and side plates. One fell out of the torn box. Don't know why those spacers were not put in the plastic bag of hardware. So now can not mount the hitch. Called your office and ordered , But who knows how long that will take. Not very happy with your company.1245713

Review from a similar Ezr Double Lock in Gooseneck Hitch
Great hitch and easy to use. I did have to lift up the bed a little bit to install it. Took me about 5 hours because of that but otherwise it is a great hitch. The rings for the safety chains stay on the bed and the ball flips over and stows away completely. 785358
Review from a similar Ezr Double Lock in Gooseneck Hitch
Build quality was outstanding, this is one stout piece of equipment. Install was a bit challenging because I did it by myself, but if I had someone to help it would have been much easier. Overall, the install was not too bad, just give yourself about 4-5 hrs if you don't have help. I'm very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend.1112594

Review from a similar Ezr Double Lock in Gooseneck Hitch
The hitch works fine and was easy to install. Everything fit well with one exception. The rod that locks the ball in place from the wheel well is too short. I expect it is the wrong rod for the 2013 Ram pickup. I made an attempt to contact etrailer to get another, but failed to contact anyone. Can you put me in contact with someone who can assist me in getting a replacement? 602101

I contacted Curt and they wanted to make sure you did not install the handle facing up and it is hitting the inner fender. The handle should be down on these.
Curt has an EZr Double Lock gooseneck hitch that fits your 2003 Ford F-350 long bed but it's not the # C60607. It's instead the part # C60685 which is a confirmed fit. These hitches are not universal. view full answer...
The Curt X5 5th-Wheel Base Rail Adapter Plate # C16220 that you referenced is for the Curt EZr Double Lock gooseneck trailer hitches. It is not compatible with any other gooseneck hitches due to the design of where the latch goes through the body.
If this is for the 2000 Ford F-250/F-350 Super Duty that you input for your vehicle information then the correct Curt EZr Double Lock for this vehicle is part # C60685 on our site. If you have a different gooseneck hitch already installed please... view full answer...
The only difference between the Curt Double Lock part # C60720 and EZr Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch part # C60685 for a 2008 Ford F-250/F-350 is the center locator tool that comes with the EZr which helps to drill out the center hitch ball hole but aside from that they are pretty much the same. I recommend the EZr because of the added tool. view full answer...
Nothing else is required for your 1999 Ford F-350, and nothing further is needed to purchase - no adapter or supplemental equipment at all - in order to install the Curt EZr Double Lock Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Installation Kit # C60685.
The hitch is the complete kit, and will fit your '99 F-350 perfectly.
The only thing you may be interested in is a gooseneck wiring harness for your F-350 if you don't have one, the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness with 7-Pole... view full answer...
I did some checking and the rail/bracket kit of the Curt EZR gooseneck hitch part # C60685 is made in the USA but the center section with the gooseneck ball is made overseas.
For a hitch that is a confirmed fit for your 2002 Ford F-Series Super Duty that is made in the USA totally we have the B and W hitch part # BWGNRK1108. view full answer...
If you want to install your gooseneck hitch while your truck bed is removed on your 2001 Ford F-350, you can still do so since these hitches get attached to the frame itself and not the bed. The Curt EZr Double Lock Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Installation Kit - 30,000 lbs # C60685 is a great option with how it attaches to only the frame rails. We don't have any hitches that require bed removal, but the Curt EZr # C60685 would be my recommendation.

We have an option for you, though the Draw-Tite adapter you mentioned won't work with the Curt EZr Double Lock Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # C60685. Instead, what you can use is a similar option from Demco:
- Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # DM8550045
The Recon is a 5th wheel hitch that attaches directly to your Curt gooseneck ball, allowing you to easily and safely tow your fifth wheel trailer. The Recon is also really convenient because it comes in two... view full answer...
For your 2001 Ford F-250 the Air Lift kits that will work with the Curt gooseneck hitch # C60685 are # AL88390 for a kit that has an internal jounce bumper and # AL57390 for a kit without the internal jounce bumper.
The other kits you mentioned will not work with the gooseneck you referenced. view full answer...
The Curt EZr Double Lock Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # C60685 is an excellent option for a 2010 Ford F-350. It will allow you to tow a gooseneck trailer no problem but if you also need to tow a 5th wheel trailer then there is an option. The Curt X5 5th-Wheel Base Rail Adapter Plate for EZr Double Lock Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # C16220 will install into the gooseneck opening and then allow you to mount a 5th wheel hitch such as the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16140.... view full answer...
According to Firestone, their # F2400 Ride-Rite Air Helper Spring Kit is compatible with in bed hitches including your Curt # C60685 EZr Double Lock gooseneck hitch.
You might also be interested in an on-board compressor kit like part # F2219. A compressor kit would allow you to add or remove pressure from the system with the flick of a rocker switch from the comfort of the cab as you're rolling down the road. Never again will you need to hunt around for a gas station with a working compressor...unless... view full answer...
Yes, the Curt EZr Double Lock Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # C60685 and the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2550 are compatible with each other. Since they mount on opposite sides of the frame they will both fit on your 1999 Ford F-250.
You may also want to consider installing a standard duty compressor like the Firestone Air Command I # F2158 if you will be towing a few times a week.
If you are towing more frequently than that I recommend going with a Heavy Duty option... view full answer...
There are a couple of options which you can choose from which will allow you to pull a 5th wheel trailer with your 2008 Ford F-350, which I'll go over for you.
The best option by far is the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # DM8550045 because it gives you the security of a fifth wheel hitch with a strong jaw system while simply fitting on the gooseneck ball of the Curt EZr. It is both simple to use and strong, with a 21,000 lb towing capacity.

Thanks for that info, and we do have an air bag kit that will fit your 2004 Ford F-350 Super Duty with a Curt gooseneck hitch. They are from Air Lift, and I verified for you that the gooseneck and air bags will work together; the correct part number for your F-350 is the following:
- Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57390

There are several different Curt gooseneck hitch options for a 2006 Ford F-350, the Quick Goose part # C640-644, the Double Lock part # C60720, the Folding Ball part # C61332-52, and the EZr part # C60685. If you have the EZr you can use the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter part # C16220 or if you have the Double Lock you can use the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter part # C16210 but these are the only two options you have to use a fifth wheel hitch on a truck with Curt gooseneck... view full answer...
