Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at the Curt EZR Double Lock Under-bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch. This is a heavy duty under-bed hitch that lets you tow your gooseneck trailer. Does use the double lock system here which will provide added security because it uses two pins that holds the ball in place instead of your normal one. The locking mechanism, the double pins, are zinc plated on the mechanism to provide superior corrosion resistance. If you notice the ball's a chrome plated hitch ball which will easily remove when you're not towing and give you complete access to your truck bed.The nice feature about it is you can just flip the ball over like this, drop it back into the hole and it will store just like that. Release your handle and it locks it into place.
Then they do have an included rubber cover right here. That'll just keep the grime out of the ball hole when it's being stored. Then you have complete truck bed access.If you notice around the ball hole has a nice chrome ring surrounds the hitch ball hole to provide a tight low profile look. The handle here has a nice comfort grip handle and it can be positioned on either side of the truck bed. We just have it installed for accessing it on the drivers side wheel well but if you wanted to put it on the passengers side you could also do that.It does use the 5/8" fixed spring loaded safety hook-ups right here that are built in.
The hitch does have a carbide black coat finish to it which is durable and corrosion resistant. To install this it's an easy one person installation. It does require a custom installation kit which we do sell separately on our website. I'd recommend to go to the fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle and it will show you the correct kit you need to install this. We do sell that kit separately.Also when you do install this it will require a 4" diameter hole in the truck bed in order to access the ball.
Also four 1/2" diameter holes for the safety chain u bolts to come through. Another nice little thing they add to it if you notice this bright orange center locator here. What's nice about this is it will help eliminate any drilling errors. In other words when you go to drill your 4" hole you don't want to guess where you're going to drill it. What you want to do is before you install this chrome surround here, you're going to install this from underneath the truck, before you install this chrome surround what you do is you take your center locator, drop it in the hole.
Then when you put that up against the truck bed from underneath it has a center hole here that you'll drill a pilot hole through there and that will come up through your truck bed. That will give you an idea on your truck bed where to use the pilot hole to drill your four inch hole.This will stay in there. What's nice about this . You don't remove this because once you install this it will be up in there. When you drill down with your four inch drill bit, as you're drilling it as soon as you start seeing orange shavings appear then you know you've drilled far enough. You know when to stop. Nice little feature to add to help installation. Also if you notice here there's a section of u shaped rubber edging. You'll install that after you've drilled the hole in your truck bed. They give you this rubber edging to install around that hole so there's no sharp edges.Also there's a couple accessories that Curt builds that you could use on this. They have a Curt X5 Fifth Wheel Adapter Plate which we sell separately. It allows for fifth wheel towing part number C16220. Basically what that is, it's a set of rails having center posts on it so you can drop it right into the ball, lock it into place and it will give you rails to attach a fifth wheel hitch to in your truck bed. Another accessory we offer is a Curt 4" offset hitch ball part number C602. That'll create additional space between your truck cab and trailer. What that is the ball has a 4" offset so when you drop it in here and lock it in the ball will be set back 4" from the cab.The ball size on this . Let me just open this back up and we'll pull the ball out. Just like that. The ball size is your standard 2 5/16 diameter. Gross towing weight capacity is 30,000 pounds. Tongue weight capacity is 6000 pounds. Again just to show you what you want to do to start to tow your gooseneck. Drop it into place. Release your handle. The two pins will lock it into place. You're all ready to go.Again just to remove it and store it. Pull your handle. Turn it to hold it open. Pull your ball out, flip it over. Drop it into place. Let your handle go to lock it and then take your rubber cover and put it in there. Simple as that. That should do it for the review on the Curt EZR Double Lock Under-bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch.

Accurate install directions, fantastic fit and operates perfectly for my 5th wheel RV
Seems heavy duty but the brackets hit the u-bolts and spring top plates. Curt told me I must of installed them wrong. I don't think so
Nice clean look. Most importantly didn't have to lower exhaust. centering the hitch in the bed was easy because of the template provided. Although install did take longer than what was noted, it was fairly simple. Would definitely purchase again.
After receiving the parts that were missing from the original order, the hitch was finally installed today, it took more then the 3 hours the video implied,
I haven't pulled with it yet, but looking forward to it..
The company was very courteous, very helpful, shipped the missing part promptly.
I will do business with them again.
I installed this hitch on my 2021 Silverado 2500HD. When first looking under the truck it appeared the exhaust would have to be modified to make the unit fit. The fact is this unit went in without any modifications at all…even all the factory drilled holes lined up perfectly. I recommend this hitch to anyone that has a stock exhaust system.
Great hitch and easy to use. I did have to lift up the bed a little bit to install it. Took me about 5 hours because of that but otherwise it is a great hitch. The rings for the safety chains stay on the bed and the ball flips over and stows away completely.
Seems to be very well built. Shipping was very fast. Will definitely purchase other products.
Easy to install. 64 years old and did it all by myself. So glad I went with this style. Have gooseneck and fifth wheel ability. When I want my full bed there’s no rails in the way. Pulling 13,000-14,000 lb fifth wheel camper. No problems.
Installed as easy as they said it would. Videos are very helpful. Works great!
shipping lost a box Men when box arrived 17 was destroed and missing parts. Need to do better job of packing for Shipping. Still waiting for missing parts.
2021 Sierra 2500 standard box. Item arrived pretty quick with all parts included and no damage.
Instructions for the install are, in my opinion, not very detailed and left me having to figure several things out on my own. Biggest pain was having to drop the fuel tank a few inches to access the hole in the driver-side frame rail to fish wire the one bolt for the side plate. Unsure why this info was missing as I would imagine anyone installing this on the same truck would have the same issue of not having enough clearance for the fish wire procedure. The front and rear rails are 0.25” in length different and are not labeled - be prepared to measure and appropriately install in the correct position with the holes closer to the bottom (this is poorly referenced in the instructions and leaves additional room for error and time). The install took me about 7 hours (no help).
Finished product is nice and sturdy. The ball ends up being about 4-5” forward the rear axle. I tried to find this info prior to purchasing, but could not. I use an extang hard tri-fold tonneau cover that does not flip fully up toward the cab and was concerned I would have to remove each time I hooked up a gooseneck. It appears that I will have to remove for most applications due to clearance issues, so less than ideal. Operates as intended and should bring many years of trouble free service.
Installed on a 2002 Ford f250 short bed. this was very easy to install just as specified I chose to remove my 5inch exhaust to make for more room and easier install but it went in smooth and the exhaust went back in with around 1 inch of room to spare so not much modification.
The only problem that I have ran into is for some odd reason when I hook up our gooseneck trailer the tongue weight brings the suspension down enough that the side plates actually hit the u-bolt studs that hold the leaf springs to the axle. So idk what’s going on with that but not real happy about it I’m going to have to cut my u-bolts down some in order for it to be able to ride smoothly otherwise the bracket hits the u-bolts every time you hit a bump and it doesn’t sound pleasant at all. Not sure if it’s just this hitch or other ones that do it but the side plates have an edge that sticks out and it’s slamming off of the U-bolts.
All I can say is WOW. In two days I received the Curt EZr Double Lock Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Installation Kit. I plan on using this Gooseneck with an Anderson 5th Wheel hitch. I haven't installed it yet but I do plan on installing very soon as we have purchased a 5th wheel Travel Trailer. As soon as it is installed, I will post some pics. Again, I cannot believe it arrived in two days.
Have not attempted install yet but looks well made and straight fowrard instructions
The hitch works fine and was easy to install. Everything fit well with one exception. The rod that locks the ball in place from the wheel well is too short. I expect it is the wrong rod for the 2013 Ram pickup. I made an attempt to contact etrailer to get another, but failed to contact anyone. Can you put me in contact with someone who can assist me in getting a replacement?
I've had it over a year now installed it myself without any help, I think it was very easy to install.
I tow everything with it never had any issues.
The instructions that come with are horrible. But you go on Curt’s website and they have a very well put together video. Everything went together smoothly and hitch performs great.
Box got a little hammered in delivery but didn’t damage any of the parts.
Build quality was outstanding, this is one stout piece of equipment. Install was a bit challenging because I did it by myself, but if I had someone to help it would have been much easier. Overall, the install was not too bad, just give yourself about 4-5 hrs if you don't have help. I'm very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend.
Solid product, installation was fairly straight forward.
GREAT Service. Received a phone call on the same day as the order to confirm the order. Even down to where it was to be left. Several e-mails letting me know the progress. Received it in 3 days after the order. One day was Sunday so i guess it doesn't count. All the parts are there. I do have an issue with UPS. The instructions on the label says LOT # 2 Montana. They left it at the entry house instead. Having a dislocated arm and loading and unloading was not good. They need to work on that. Yes the camper can be easily seen from the house. Can't wait to get it in.
Thanks
Overall a decent product. Easy to install, hardest part was manhandling all the pieces by myself. Tows wonderfully.
The only negative is the length of the ball when in stored position. I have 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 2wd that sits low to the ground. When stored, the ball strikes the top of the axle housing and cut the ABS wiring. Easy repair and we no longer store the ball in the hitch
I have had a few different GN hitches over the years and this model is top notch. The installation was straight forward and the drill guide made the location of where to drill effortless. If I had to pick a place where improvement could occur, it would be the resistance of the safety chain loop springs. They ensure rattles don't occur, but getting the chain loop inside can be difficult at times. Overall the construction is very robust. The nice touches such as the rubber cap and the price point make this a great option. I would repeat the purchase.
I have a turnover gooseneck ball hitch used for pulling a 32 foot stock trailer. I have no complaints, took me and a friend about 2 hours to install. Had a $75 mailin rebate so was significantly less than a B&W hitch.
