Best 2001 Dodge Ram Pickup Gooseneck Hitches

Excellent product, great service, I highly recommended etrailer .

Installed hitch looks it came that way from the factory. Difficulty level 4 out of 5 for a DIY'er working alone. The front-to-back measurement in the bed is critical for drilling the 4" hole. The measured distance given in the instructions leaves little room for error in the forward direction. Better to measure a little short, than a little long! As advertised, there was no drilling required in the frame rails, but I did have to remove the frame alignment tabs on both sides of the bed; Sawzall or cutoff wheel required. In the end; it was a full day's project, but well worth the effort!

This B&W gooseneck installed easily on my 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 in a little under 4 hours by myself. The only drilling required is for the holes in the bed for the receiver and the safety chain hooks. I'd definitely recommend a tip I saw online-- use a 3/4" piece of plywood as a template/stabilizer when you cut the 4" hole in the bed because the hole-saw will want to bite and grab badly on the bed without it. Quality product made in the USA by B&W, this is my 3rd B&W hitch and they will last forever. I will use this and another in my wife's truck so we can have one fifth wheel hitch (Companion) that will fit both trucks. Great service as always from etrailer. HIGHLY recommended. Thanks!

Installation was fairly easy on my 2001 Ram 2500. My brother and I got it installed in about 2.5 hours. Simple and solid design. Hooked up 38' car hauler and off we went. Only problem we had was the measurement Curt provides for the 4" hole location in bed floor was about 3/16" too far toward the cab, hitch lines up with hole but on my truck it is not centered (bed floor brace prevented us from being able to move hitch further forward). Not a big deal!

Great product. Convenient to always have the ball there and ready to go.

It just arrived. Looks good. I'll know more after installation.

I ordered the Curt ball,and safety chain kit for my new 2018 Ram 2500 with factory hitch. A excellent value,for a quality product, that saved me a lot of money compared to OEM dealer price. Fast shipping had me ready to tow, in no time at all.

I bought this product to us in my 2016 Ram 2500 with the 5th wheel prep and an Andersen Ultimate hitch. It is top notch quality, and the anchors DO work with my Ultimate hitch. The fit is tight, but the anchor mounts do clear the hitch base. This is a well made product in a nice storage case. I recommend it.

Seems to be very well built. Shipping was very fast. Will definitely purchase other products.

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?

Very nice hitch, took me about 3 hrs to install on a 2014 RAM 2500 6.5 bed with help from the wife. The hitch is very thick steel, probably close to 1/2". The ball works great, very easy to secure and remove. Very happy with the hitch and glad I chose it over the turnover ball which seems to be slightly harder to install. Some tips... remove spare tire, remove heat shield, drill the 3 1/4" hole, make sure to use a good hole saw made for metal, positition the nuts using the brackets, have someone get the bolts started while you hold the hitch. Tighten the bolts, you will probably have to remove the exhaust hangers to move the exhaust enough to tighten the passenger side bolts, torque to spec, drill the safety hook holes, install safety hooks and put everything back together...thats pretty much it. I took my truck and had the bed Linex'd after I installed the hitch. They touched up around the holes. Looks awesome!

Ordered the Curt underbed gooseneck trailer hitch for my Ram 2500 from etrailer.com. The pricing was great and hitch was delivered quickly. Installation is easy with assistance from one other person. This is a quality hitch and will serve my needs.

Works great. Glad we bought it. Was a little tough to install for somebody that has never done one but after doing it I can now do them again. Will be buying another one at a later time for my other truck I am currently working on.

The product seems to be great quality. Nothing really lined up so I had to make a few minor modifications. But the company had it at my door in 2 days free shipping... It was 106 pounds. That's what I call impressive

Great product. Convenient to always have the ball there and ready to go.

It just arrived. Looks good. I'll know more after installation.

Easy installation. Works great with our 36ft triple 7k toy hauler.

This hitch is a good example of great engineering. The parts were complete and very good quality. A few "pointers" to help with a "first timer" with the process would have been to have some stickers attached to the pieces that provide some orientation, e.g., "Towards Cab", "up/down". It would have saved a trip to the store if I had easier to find hole diameter information... maybe on the ordering page... "3-1/2" hole saw required". The video was helpful and appreciated.
