Does Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch Have Guide For Ball Alignement
Updated 11/03/2025 | Published 01/06/2025
Question:
2006 F250 4X4, 6 3/4 bed I would like to know if theres an index on the trailer ball to keep it centered so the locking pins will engage with ease. I can only imagine trying to get in and out of the bed to get it straight so I can lock it in. The pictures really didnt show anything. Thanks.

Hi Levi; the Curt Double Lock # C60720 has a guide pin in there to help align the ball. This also keeps it from falling through the bottom in both positions. If you take a look at the video below starting at 3:20 you will see how he works the ball into place a bit and then twists it so make sure it is aligned before engaging the pins. You can't see it in the pictures on the product page so I attached a picture of the ball below where you can see the groove for the pin.
