Curt Pop-In Ball # C60601 is designed specifically for 2011 to 2018 Ford trucks with the factory installed gooseneck prep package or 2013 to 2018 Ram trucks with the factory installed gooseneck prep package. If the truck you bought is not one of those then this ball won't fit even if the shank is the right size (shank is 2-1/4 inches in diameter). You didn't mention the year, make, and model of the truck so if you can give me that information I can see which gooseneck hitches are available for it and which replacement balls fit. That will narrow it down.

Thank you for the information. If the shaft that the ball shank fits into is round and not square then that eliminates B&W. Also a 2 inch depth would not be enough to store the ball on a B&W hitch. If the hitch has a Z-shaped handle slot like on hitch # 6300-4457 then the ball for it is # 5973. But this ball has an overall shank length of 2-3/4 inches. If the hitch does not have any kind of handle at all then that is an indication that it could be the underbed Reese Elite hitch and if that is the case then you could use Curt ball # C60601. When you are measuring make sure that the tape measure isn't making contact with anything in the hole. For example if it does have a rod/pin that goes through to hold the ball and you are measuring down to it the measurement would be shorter than any ball shank that is available. Can you possibly email me some pictures of the hitch?

Yes, the pop-in style gooseneck trailer hitch balls are cross compatible between the different factory puck systems from Ford, Ram, GM, and Nissan. For this, we have a few options such as the Curt Pop-In Ball part #C60629 which has a rise built-in or…

Yes, the gooseneck hitch balls for the factory prep packages are the same for Ram and Ford. If you need a new hitch ball for either of these systems than you can use the Curt Pop-In Ball part #C60601 or the Reese Pop-In Ball part #RP19311.

Answer 12

The factory prep package or pucks are not the same between Ram, GM and Ford. The spacing is all different which means you cannot use a 5th wheel hitch for Ram pucks on a GM with pucks. Take the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for example which is…
