Question:

I have a 2014 F-150 xlt supercrew with a 6.5’ box I just bought this hitch and wondering what measurements I need for the 4” hole. The instructions have options for short and long bed. Both are the same but i thought it was odd that It didn’t say bed size, 6.5’, 8’, or 5.5’ and the picture of hitch to cab length has an 8’ bed and 6’ bed just thought to double check before I start drilling. Thank you

The Curt gooseneck hitch part # C60720 only fits the 6-1/2 foot and 8 foot bed models of the 2014 Ford F-150 like yours so that is why they only list a long and short bed measurement for the ball hole. For the long bed trucks the ball hole will get drilled 96 inches back from the truck cab and for the short bed trucks it will be 35 inches. The dimension needs to be centered from left to right as well.
