Specs:
The Curt 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 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.

I have used this gooseneck hitch numerous times since purchasing it. It does require some tedious measurements to install it correctly. If you are doing this yourself, i would say you habe at least 3 hours of work ahead of you. With a helper it took me around 4 moving slowly and dekiberately. The ball is excellent, and the locking mechanism is as well. I also purchased the 5th wheel rail plate adapter. The combination has been hard to beat for the cost. Overall i would recommend this product. It is very well built and seems to hold up well with hard use.
Install on my 2006 2500 Dodge Ram Big Horn, easy enough considering no lift. Works good, only problem is that when you turn the ball over for storeage, bottoms out on the axle. Other than not being able to store the ball as advertised, good buy for the money.
The products from etrailer.com have been just what I needed. The site does a great job of describing exactly what I needed for my truck and the products are of super high quality. One interesting note however was the instructions that came with the installation kit said a pro could install the hitch in 45 minutes. I would like to see that! We had no issues and I had reviewed 4 videos prior and downloaded a PDF instruction sheet prior to starting and we spent 5 hours putting this hitch and installation kit in. It was a fun project with my son helping, and we ran into no issues that slowed us down, but you've gotta ignore the time estimate on the installation documentation. It's a beautiful thing all things considered.
Curt and Pollak make a great product and etrailer is a great site, I come here for all my towing needs now! My only issue is that the instructions for the gooseneck hitch were kind of vague. I got it on in about 3 1/2 hours taking my time and making sure it was right. Other than that I would purchase a Curt and Pollak product again!
Fast shipping! Product quality is great. The instructions were adequate but could be better. Would definitely buy from etrailer again.
Product arrived in a timely manner. Installed just as the instructions stated. Products work just as advertised.
Easy to install. Fast shipping.
Shipping was fast, ordered on Monday and received it today on Wednesday, haven’t opened anything yet so hopefully all is there
great item,,easy install,,,
Review from a similar Double Lock in Gooseneck Hitch
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.
Review from a similar Double Lock in Gooseneck Hitch
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!

the 5 stars are for etrailer.com ! I will have to give the product just 4 for a couple reasons. quality was great, everything went according to plan, except ! they make a slight mention in the instructions to make sure to clean out the threads in the side rails. YOU HAD BETTER, run a 1/2 tap in all the holes in the side rails before starting installation . if you don't, you will really wish you had. also the instructions called for a 44 1/4 measurement from the end of the bed box on the short bed truck. 44 " would have been perfect on mine, the 44 1/4 was a little off. but 5 stars for etrailer, fast shipping, great service.

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.

This hitch was as easy to install as 1 2 3. Cut the hole following included instructions, bolt frame rail kit (sold separate), bolt hitch and bam I was pulling my trailer around for a test run before re torquing bolts. Only took a couple of hours to install by myself following the clear provided instructions. Grade 8 hardware being included was the decision maker for me. Great product from a great company!
Review from a similar Double Lock in Gooseneck Hitch
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.
Review from a similar Double Lock in Gooseneck Hitch
Great product and perfect fit for my 2005 GMC Sierra duramax. I just purchased a Montana fifth wheel and wanted to still be able to use the bed of the truck without taking a heavy hitch in and out and breaking my back. The hitch arrived really fast and the boxes were in pretty good shape and I was only missing one washer from a torn parts bag. I was able to install the hitch that weekend with help of the directions and how to YouTube video. The only issue I had was that the video stated the crossbar with the notch went to the rear while the directions showed it going to the front. It definitely goes to the front and was pretty obvious when installing it. I didn’t have any real issues with the install and it looks great and hides away nicely leaving a clean flat bed. I look forward to hauling my fifth wheel real soon.

We have 2 Dodge Ram pickups in the family and this is the second one that we have bought. Installed ourselves with the good instructions and works great. Like the idea of removable ball to achieve a flat storage area in bed of pickup, when not towing. Have pulled fifth wheel camper plus a boat with no problems.
Review from a similar Double Lock in Gooseneck Hitch
Hitch works really well. I installed it myself with the help of my son. I have had many B&W hitches which I really like also. I think so far the Curt is comparable in many ways. I really like the double locking pin. I would not hesitate to buy this hitch again.
Review from a similar Double Lock in Gooseneck Hitch
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
Review from a similar Double Lock in Gooseneck Hitch
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.
Review from a similar Double Lock in Gooseneck Hitch
This was our first installation of a 5th wheel kit . Had all the right parts in kit did have one bolt had no threads cut on it from manufacturer. The instructions was a little vague a little hard to understand . Watched a video on how to on etrailer helped more for us than instructions in box very well done video. Did notice that on 2016 Ford the shock mount on passenger side sits a little high had to work at getting angle brakets over it on top of frame. Yes I would buy another one still was perty easy.
Review from a similar Double Lock in Gooseneck Hitch
I ordered the curt gooseneck for my 2005 duramax mainly because I want to get me a bigger goose neck trailer to be able to make a camper/ toy hauler combo plus I can haul a dump trailer and campers with out borrowing a truck now . Anywho strainers website has tons of info so I could make the purchase knowing it will be what I needed. The hitch arrived really fast boxes were in great shape, and a week later I finally got the chance to install the directions and how to video made it really simple I didn’t have any issues with the install and it looks great and hides away nice I will be hauling with it really soon
Review from a similar Double Lock in Gooseneck Hitch
My Curt gooseneck hitch is absolutely the best on the market. It was easy to install. We did have the bed off for frame cleaning on my 2004 Chevy Silverado. I had a fold down ball originally in the bed. It froze up 6 months after installing. I love the turn over Curt ball hitch. I did have to purchase from etrailer also a 6 inch offset because my Eby Horse trailer has a square front. I would purchase from etrailer again.
Thomas w - 12/12/2019Review from a similar Double Lock in Gooseneck Hitch
The shipment was quick and the product is good quality and installation was simple enough. Definitely need to clean the threads out with a tap before installation. I ruined 2 of the bolts trying to clean the threads by screwing the bolts in and out. This is something that should be done at the factory. I shouldn't have to go buy a 1/2 tap to clean the threads on a product before installation. Etrailer is a good company to deal with and great customer service. They should get Curt to address the thread issue.
