Most Popular Manual Ball Removal for GMC Sierra 3500

Very nice and well built product, the instructions made sense and were very logical. nice to have made in the USA things available. Would highly recommend!

Install went easy, hitch works great. Only issue was the measurement to drill hole in bed of truck bed was off by ½".

The kit was exactly what it said it was. Fit snugly on my 2017 f250. Shipping was quick and arrived on time. Very pleased with e trailer and curt hitches. Only downfall I had was the carry case was beat up a little and cracked on one side but is still usable.

Very well made. It’s what I would expect to get from Curt. Fits great. It will get its first test next week. Thanks etrailer. Once again you came through.

Between the videos and the instructions it was very easy to follow. If you’re like me and don’t want to cut your fender liners I simply removed the front bed bolts and jacked one side up to slide in the mounting rails. The only fender I had to cut was the drivers side to allow for the latch pin lever. I really like just how “flush” the hitch really is once you turn over the ball. Overall very impressed with the hitch so far and have already recommended the hitch to other family members and friends.

This hitch is great and I installed it with no problems. This is the hitch to buy if you want quality and strength. The removable ball stores away and is right where you need it.

The ball does not fit my truck puck, despite being made for/compatible with it based on brand, year and model. etrailer provided # for B&W directly. Customer service at both companies has been excellent so far. Awaiting replacement ball from B&W which they shipped over night express. Hoping it fits. The product itself is very heavy and appears well made and easy to use.

Nice gooseneck ball. Fits my 2024 gmc 2500HD perfectly.

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.

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.

Shipping was super fast and the Product was exactly what I was looking for. Fits flush with the bead and out of the way for anything you decide to haul. And the ball is stored in place without having to keep it somewhere else. Only issue I had was with Chevrolet. They had one of the nuts welded in crooked and I had to do some adjusting on one of the holes. Everything else was perfect. Very well made and instructions are pretty decent. You can watch a YouTube video if you have problems

After receiving the parts that were missing from the original order, the hitch was finally installed today, it took more then the 3 hours the video implied, I haven't pulled with it yet, but looking forward to it.. The company was very courteous, very helpful, shipped the missing part promptly. I will do business with them again.

Great product, handled my 18,000lb GVW 5th Wheel with-out issues. Fast delivery and great customer service too!

product came on time, well packaged, putting unit together was fairly easy only problem we had was getting the bolts out of the truck bed so we could lift it up to slide the rails in.

Both Cathy and George were awesome to deal with and the product is just what I need. Can't wait to use etrailer.com again. Hitch and brackets are very well made and heavy construction.

This Curt Ball and Safety Chain Kit works perfectly for my needs. I haul a large livestock trailer often so install and removal is easy and everything feels very secure when hooked up. I've made several long haul trips with no issues with this set up. Being able to remove it and have a flat truckbed is also easy and convenient for my needs. Thank you.

I have enjoyed and been impressed with this product so far, no complaints. It is easy to install and works great and gives me a great sense of security that my camper isn't going anywhere once hooked up!!

The install was slightly more difficult on this curt hitch than the BW hitch, but this one was on sale at the time so I chose to give this one a try. Both styles give you a little workout but the hardware package is easier to work with on the BW hitch

I bought this Curt Gooseneck Hitch For my new 2020 Chevy HD Silverado Standard Bed Duramax. I did the install myself, in my garage and without the use of a lift. I spent about 8 hours to get it done. The parts are heavy, so take that into account if you’re wanting to do it yourself. Watching a Curt install video during the process was key to installing it successfully. Only thing I would suggest during the install, and for the driver’s side only, is to loosen the rearward gas tank strap, which allows a little more room for fishing the one inside frame retaining plate and bolt. Very happy with the quality of this hitch and of the price from etrailer.

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.

Etrailer has always come through . Even if there is an issue they respond quickly and that means alot . The prices are the best .

2021 Sierra 2500 standard box. Item arrived pretty quick with all parts included and no damage. Instructions for the install are, in my opinion, not very detailed and left me having to figure several things out on my own. Biggest pain was having to drop the fuel tank a few inches to access the hole in the driver-side frame rail to fish wire the one bolt for the side plate. Unsure why this info was missing as I would imagine anyone installing this on the same truck would have the same issue of not having enough clearance for the fish wire procedure. The front and rear rails are 0.25” in length different and are not labeled - be prepared to measure and appropriately install in the correct position with the holes closer to the bottom (this is poorly referenced in the instructions and leaves additional room for error and time). The install took me about 7 hours (no help). Finished product is nice and sturdy. The ball ends up being about 4-5” forward the rear axle. I tried to find this info prior to purchasing, but could not. I use an extang hard tri-fold tonneau cover that does not flip fully up toward the cab and was concerned I would have to remove each time I hooked up a gooseneck. It appears that I will have to remove for most applications due to clearance issues, so less than ideal. Operates as intended and should bring many years of trouble free service.

Have not attempted install yet but looks well made and straight fowrard instructions

The Gooseneck hitch that I received had already been opened and obviously was somebody elses return. Spent over $[XX] and received someones return. It appears not to have pulled a trailer but was inserted into someones truck recepter by the visible dirt and even the rubber cover insert is dirty. Did not expect that from etrailer.

Very impressed with the quality of this product. It fits perfectly in my Ram puck system with no slop or play.

Came timely and was a complete kit. B&W is by far the best quality turnover ball. Keep it greased and it will work as it should.

A lot of people told me I could not put a goose neck hitch on a 1/2 ton truck. My 2018 Silverado handled the hardware just fine and it pulls an 8,000 lb 3 horse full tack room trailer with ease. I have a 6.5 foot bed - would not recommend this on a 5 foot bed b/c if you jackknife while backing up you will smash your back window. I also recommend installation by a company that does this type of install regularly. I drove an hour to Ocala and had it done at The Hitching Post. They were fair with pricing and easy to work with. Lastly you want to keep a pair of vice grips in your truck to pull up the rollover ball when it is flat. Hay and dust gets in the cracks and it is difficult to pull it up with just your fingers. Overall I highly recommend.

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.

I have had a few different GN hitches over the years and this model is top notch. The installation was straight forward and the drill guide made the location of where to drill effortless. If I had to pick a place where improvement could occur, it would be the resistance of the safety chain loop springs. They ensure rattles don't occur, but getting the chain loop inside can be difficult at times. Overall the construction is very robust. The nice touches such as the rubber cap and the price point make this a great option. I would repeat the purchase.

I love my hitch . I love how I can turn it over and I can still have use of the full truck bed. I could of bought a cheaper hitch but the quality is by far better than other hitches I have owned in the past. Customer service was great after they helped me fix my ordering mistake. Very happy with my hitch.

I was very satisfied from ordering to instillation. Great people and very concerned about your satisfaction. Instructions were complete and easy to follow. Saved approximately 50% in cost. Thanks etrailer

For the price of the product, packaging was terrible, product arrived with paint missing from several large areas due to shipping damage. Box was barely intact when it arrived. Also was missing one of the large grade 8 4.25” long bolts. So after a trip to the hardware store to replace the missing bolt and buy some paint to fix the damaged finish, got it installed pretty easy.

Excellent underbody hitch system. Installation went well once the body was off. If your installing on a late model ford you may want to be sure you have new bed bolts available. Ford says they are not reusable for some reason but it did not matter in my case. Even though I put PB rust blaster on 2 days in advance the cage nuts broke the cage and spun. Ended up having to grind the tops off to remove the body and then using some heat to custom bend a box end wrench to get into the box frame so I was able to remove the (now) studs. This was on a 4 year old truck but New England winters at work here i’m sure. Once the body was off installation was a breeze. Fit is perfect.

Unfortunately I'm not very happy with the service. I ordered a item from your website and it premised delivered on one date and I received it 4 days after that.. I needed on the date it was promised. I called the company and basically I was told, sorry. You can pay for it to be sent back.. So now it just sits in garage, cause I found another one at a trailer store, cause I was in need of it. Also, the box it came in was all torn up and taped together.

The hitch worked out perfectly, The chain pucks are a little small for some chain hooks, there rating is fine but to safety hooks for the rating of the fifth wheel would not fit in the holes, so I was forced to use hooks with the less rating, put 20000 miles on the ball and it was fine.

Easy installation. We had 3 guys and were done in 20 minutes less than instructions said. Works fine as frog's hair! When measuring the hole in the bed remember to measure from the front of the bed and rear! Then look underneath for the bed crossmember.

this installed correctly on my 2005 dodge ram 2500 diesel per instructions for installation with air bags. I have hauled a 42 foot 3 axle car trailer for over 6,000 miles with no issues. This was a great purchase. Thank you
