Pair this center section with a custom mounting kit (sold separately) to get a super-secure hitch for towing your gooseneck trailer. Ball is locked in place with 2 pins when being used and flips over for storage inside the hitch when its job is done.This hitch was as easy to install as 1 2 3. Cut the hole following included instructions, bolt frame rail kit (sold separate), bolt hitch and bam I was pulling my trailer around for a test run before re torquing bolts. Only took a couple of hours to install by myself following the clear provided instructions. Grade 8 hardware being included was the decision maker for me. Great product from a great company!
Great product. Fit my vehicle without modifications. Easy to install. Converted my fifth wheel travel trailer to goose neck hitch, so I don't have to remove a heavy fifth wheel hitch every time I want to haul something. Just pull the lever and turn the ball over giving me full use of the truck bed. Awesome
I have not had a chance to install this product yet. The metal quality looks to be good as well as the craftsmanship. All hardware that I believe is used for it is there and it should be a great install/addition. The only thing I am partially upset about is that it did not cone with the pilot hole mounting tool that curt uses in their videos. I’m going to have to call and try to get one of those.
Seems very well built. Fit and finish are great. I installed on a 2015 Sierra with the EZr mounting bracket and the only downfall of the combination was a very difficult installation...think bottle jacks and hammers.
Great product , excellent service , RAPID DELIVERY. THANK YOU
Though I have not installed yet item is of excellent quality and what looks to be a fairly simple installation.
I am adapting to a 1973 ford and will be fabricating cross members to accommodate.
Customer service was great. The product bolts right up with a little drilling and remove couple things and cutting out piece of sheet metal. Four to five hours to put in.
GREAT PRODUCT!

Wow, what can I say, this is an extremely solid, well built unit.
I knew it was about 90 pound, but when you take it out of the boxes the quality really hits you. Everything fits just as it is supposed to. The bolts are all Grade 8, and when you get everything torqued you know this unit is truly part of the truck frame.
Maybe a little over kill for our 5500# Escape 5.0 TA, but I wanted that confidence while connected, and I got it.
Coupled this with the Anderson Ultimate Hitch in Black Out and couldn't be happier.
Great product but the instructions are a little muddied. I replaced a welded in under bed gooseneck hitch with this unit. I chose this unit over a single pin gooseneck flip ball for the added mental security as well as potential for less rattle
I had already had to return 2 hitches to another company because they sent the wrong ones. I ordered from etrailer.com and got the right hitch the first time and it has been amazing! The directions wanted the hole drilled in the wrong spot in my bed so before you start drilling make sure you measure and check and double check EVERYTHING. But that was literally the only thing that wasn't perfect. I haul valuable lives with my truck and this hitch has been great!
Easy installation. We had 3 guys and were done in 20 minutes less than instructions said. Works fine as frog's hair! When measuring the hole in the bed remember to measure from the front of the bed and rear! Then look underneath for the bed crossmember.
I really like the hitch as it was easy to install and being a turnover ball it leaves my bed free when I need to haul something. Very sturdy product and I would recommend it to anyone looking for this style of gooseneck hitch.
Great product w great instructions. It was an affordable package that installed decently. We have used the hitch for a year now and have had zero issues w it.
The only reason for not giving it 5 stars was because the cross bars that go between the frame rails needed to have the threaded holes chased w a tap to remove the powder coating prior to installation. I initially tried installing it without chasing the threads and the bolts started to get very tight before the parts even pulled together.
Once the threads were clean, everything assembled very well.
The hitch takes time to install, at least if you want it to look good and be correct.
On a 1500 ram, you will probably need to install some form of helper spring or air bags to prevent the rear from squatting from the weight of the gooseneck trailer…the factory 1500 coil springs are not firm enough on their own.
It mounted perfectly in my 2015 F150. Getting the rubber seal on, was a chore. Torquing the bolts was tricky in confined spaces under the truck and in the wheel well, but it can be done with a 2' torque wrench and all bolts are reachable. 1-2 clicks at a time. There's no way this is a 90 minute job for a novice, especially without a lift. Plan on 4 hours. the 43.5" measurement adding 1/8" with bedliner is dead on. Measure 3 times to be sure. The instruction are good, but it's easier to follow the installation video.
Got this for our new camper last year. Did the installation myself with a few buddies very straight forward directions. We use a Reese goose box with the curt 4” off set ball on our 08 short bed truck! Would definitely recommend
I like the hitch but when ai am pulling my trailers, and I am moving them around at low speeds it seems that there is a good amount of movement in the hitch and the feel in the truck. I’m not sure what that is but I have used trucks that didn’t have that feel in them but mine definitely does. We followed all directions and torqued all bolts to the required amount. Maybe someone can shed some light on what that maybe.
Thanks
Awesome gooseneck Hitch!!!
Easy installation !!!
Installed easily on 2015 GMC 2500 HD double cab short bed. Plenty of clearance under the bed when ball is flipped. This system makes for a clean useable bed. When I was purchasing this I was concerned about clearance of a gooseneck hitch and my transfer tank. I have a 40 gal tank that sits back from the cab a bit over 20 inches, there’s plenty of clearance for a gooseneck with a fuel tank on this short bed. The hitch has held up perfectly over the last year. I haul around 12k on steep, washboard, gravel roads.
Thank you for reaching out. Definitely love the reliability and durability of this hitch, also the added clearance. I have it mounted on my 40 foot enclosed race car trailer. We towed using it 35 to 40 times to and from race tracks in 2019. Hooking it up and disconnecting it every weekend. Never gave us a single issue.
I think this gooseneck hitch is the best for newer Sierra/Silverado HD trucks. I installed it a week ago with the help of my father-in-law and his car lift. Took about 4 hours moving slowly and taking our time. Everything fit well and bolted right up. I also reinstalled the foil heat shield after removing one mounting ear. I did not drop the exhaust or the plastic heat shield and still got everything in.
I chose this specific kit because it did not require notching the bed seam when installing the rails. It also has a higher tongue load rating than the others and was cheaper.
The only major criticism I have is the pull wire and carriage bolts. My chassis has weld nuts and I would have preferred to use those over carriage bolts pulled into the chassis. I am thankful there were access holes almost inline with the mounting holes. That made it easy to put pressure on the bolt heads so they didn’t fall back. I also think the gasket around the big hole should be one piece to make it look cleaner. I used black silicone rtv to smooth the transition and adhere the gasket in place.
Overall I am completely satisfied with the kit and the help of Shawn B who got my order in, had it shipped that same day and followed up with me after delivery. Thanks etrailer and Shawn B.
this installed correctly on my 2005 dodge ram 2500 diesel per instructions for installation with air bags. I have hauled a 42 foot 3 axle car trailer for over 6,000 miles with no issues. This was a great purchase. Thank you
