Question:
I have a 2019 GMC one ton pickup with factory installed under bed gooseneck hitch. There is a locking pin in the wheel well to lock the ball in place. I need a 3” ball to fit. How would this ball work given the locking pin mentioned above?

Hello James, thanks for reaching out. I have heard of some GMC trucks coming from the factory with what is basically a Curt Double Lock gooseneck hitch in the bed. If this is what you have, we do offer a 2-5/16" ball for this, the Curt # C60616, but there is no 3" ball available that will work with this.
The Curt Pop-In Ball # C60628 you were looking at is for the OEM puck system, and would not work on a gooseneck hitch with a wheel well release.

Hey James, did you end up trying the 2-5/16 ball for your GMC’s gooseneck hitch? Knowing how that fit with your locking pin setup could help others with the same factory hitch. Your feedback would be great for anyone comparing these ball options.
