Best Economically Priced Gooseneck for 2001 Ford F-350 Long Bed

Published 10/20/2026

Question:

Few questions for you, ive bought multiple hitches through you guys over the years. I have a 2001 ford f350 long bed pickup. Looking for a gooseneck hitch for it. Money is tight starting my wifes farm and life with kids and being in the military on one income. There are a few cheaper options as far as hitches go that can be ordered online. How much better is the curt or the bandw vs lets say a $250 hitch. Pinching pennies but i do need a hitch so reaching out. I appreciate it and thank you for your input.

Hey Anthony, while I don't know exactly what other cheaper hitches you are considering the Curt Overbed part # C61332-52 is a great option for your 2001 Ford F-350 long bed that I can assure you will hold up well, will be easy to use, and will be reliable. This is also our lowest price option. The cheaper options out there are going to be hit or miss at best. They might be difficult to install and you might have to deal with a lot of extra work to even just get them installed and it's hard to say if they will fail on you which could be catastrophic so I would recommend doing it the safe way with the Curt I mentioned. Is this for a stock trailer?

Whats the cost of the over the bed one? How does it bolt or weld in?

@AnthonyD The part # C61332-52 has it's current price on its product page or if you scroll up you'll see it at top of this page. This bolts in and does not require welding.
