The CURT wiring harness appears to be correct, but I have not installed it yet. I will provide more details after I install this harness. I think that the 7 foot length will be just right for the truck, but I will know more once I install it.

The pins on this didn’t like to make contact with my trailer connector. The trailer is brand new. I had to do some tweaking to get it to work right.

Oh no! I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you. If anything is missing we will replace it .

Worked as decribed, and was plug and play. Throw the hardware they provide out and replace with S.S. hardware.

This product worked at first. Then, my lights on my trailer did not work when they were plugged in as usual. This product is an in bed wiring connector so you don't have to hang your goose-neck light wiring over the tail gate. I traced the problem to the Curt harness. I have since unplugged the Curt harness and hooked up the OEM light harness on the truck. And, subsequently have been hanging my lights over the tailgate and no problems with the trailer lights. (It was the Curt harness not the trailer lights).



by:

I like the simplicity of install with the plug and play wiring harness but the trailer plug itself where are you plug in your trailer is lacking, when trailer plugged in fit is very sloppy and trailer loses connection often, which is very sketchy when towing my 40 foot, 20,000 pound fifth wheel that you rely on the trailer brakes for stopping



by:
2007 Dodge Ram Pickup

Parts just arrived. All in excellent condition. The greatest part is the excellent installation instruction videos available on line. I am beginning the installation of 5th wheel hitch, this wiring harness and a Curt trailer brake controller. The video for the controller showed me where to find the OEM plug which was taped up behind the wiring harness bundle under the dash that would have been impossible to find otherwise. Other companies may have the same parts but etrailer also educates. Absolutely, far and away the best!!



by:
Dodge Ram Pickup

We received the 5th Wheel / Gooseneck harness to work with our existing Dodge Ram 3500 trailer hitch wiring group with no problems. The assembly was installed and tested within 30 minutes and everything worked as it was supposed to. I felt the product and service I received was extremely well done and I would recommend eTrailer and there products to anyone. Thanks again - problem solved!



by:

Was a very easy install, only hiccup was no right hand signal or brake light. Called trailer's and they clued me on the right side was the brown wire. Worked the ends of the brown wire and found the end that plugs to the truck power was loose, with some pushing it clicked in and now works great. Would definitely recommend this product and etrailer. Bought this to bring my 5th wheel plug into the bed.

Great product (Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole ). Great service.
Easy installation
great instructions with pictures
Super fast shipping
Great customer service
Will definitely recommend to friends and family

The 7 pole connector wire harness worked great. It was heavy duty and well built. The only thing that could have been better was the plugs. I have a 1999 Dodge truck and the plugs fit perfect however they do not "Clip" in. I had to tape them. Other than that I am pleased.



by:

Easy install and very good customer service. Fast shipping!!!



by:
2007 Dodge Ram Pickup

Installed in less than hour. Perfect fit. Only negative, too much cable depending on installation location., would be nice to offer a long and short version. Certainly not a functional issue. Recommend this product. Etrailer service was excellent, very much appreciate the videos and accompanying documentation.



by:
2001 Dodge Ram Pickup

Very happy with this. I read people saying it was too long but on my 01 short bed dodge it was perfect length to put it in the tailgate post. Wire, plugs and heat shrink all good quality. Only thing really needed is s drill, self tapper bit and a 2-1/8 hole saw. Installation time for me was less than an hour.



by:
1998 Dodge Ram Pickup

This harness makes for a quick and easy installation, I actually have two of these hooked up on my truck, one for the receiver and one ran into the sidewall of the bed for the goose neck. Good quality build with every thing sealed as it should be.



by:
2008 Ram 2500

I have not had a chance to install this product yet I have only compared the two harness for likeness, but it looks like it will be a direct plug and play into my 2008 dodge 2500 just as stated. The wires used look to be of good quality and it’s all nicely wrapped and taped in wire loom.



by:
2008 Dodge Ram Pickup

I was happy with the transaction with etrailer. The website was very helpful in finding what I needed. The product was received ahead of the committed date. The only problem was with the packaging. Some of the boxes were pretty beat-up and the parts were scratched with the finish damaged. That was a little disappointing.



by:

Didn’t work with my application. Had to spice it in. No bigge



by:
2008 Dodge Ram Pickup

From what I can tell it seems to be a good product. The install was pretty straight forward and easy. The only complaint I have is that one of the plugs would not lock in good. I just put a zip tie around it to ensure connection wouldn't be lost during road conditions.



by:

This product is exactly what it says it is any body can do this on there truck in less than a hour I am very pleased with this product my customer was very happy with it he ain't never used a bed plug before and had bumper plug for his gooseneck he was pleased

Excellent will buy from trailer again

Plug and play gooseneck wiring addition for my Dodge Ram. Well made.



by:

The shipping estimate was perfect and delivered on time. Haven’t had the opportunity to tow with it yet, but the hitch came with minor scratches and small dents due to shipping. Definitely would still recommend.



by:

I have a 05 ram 2500 and the gooseneck harness was easy to install and plugged right into the factory harness. Thank you.

  • Which B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch Fits A 2007 Dodge Ram Mega Cab?
    The B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit - 30,000 lbs # BWGNRK1308 you mentioned is currently the only B&W Gooseneck Hitch that is confirmed to fit your 2007 Dodge Ram Mega Cab. This hitch will allow you to tow a gooseneck trailer via the included gooseneck ball, but since Mega Cab trucks all have a 6-1/2' bed you will likely need the 4" Offset Ball # BWGNXA4085 to give you more turning clearance. In addition you can also tow a 5th wheel trailer...

    Yes we do, check out the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness # C56071. This is a very similar harness as the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Harness # C56070 that you referenced except it is confirmed to fit your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500.

  • Recommended UnderBed Hitch for a 2008 Dodge Ram 3500
    Yes, we do have an underbed hitch for your 2008 Ram 3500. It is the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit item # BWGNRK1313. This underbed system installs in existing holes in your Ram's frame. It will provide you with a mounting point to attach the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch item # BWRVK3500. Of if you already have a 5th wheel hitch that attaches to industry standard rails you can use the Curt X5 Adapter item # 16310. I have linked an installation...

  • Correct Curt Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for a 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 Mega Cab
    The correct Curt EZr Double Lock Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Installation Kit for a 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 Mega Cab is part # C60682 or if you're just looking for the installation kit it's part # C60660. Don't forget the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness part # C56071 to complete your setup.

  • Connecting Aftermarket Brake Controller to Curt 5th Wheel Harness on 1997 Dodge Ram 3500
    Since you have the factory tow package you should be able to simply plug the aftermarket brake controller into the factory connector. The connector is usually located under the dash near the emergency brake pedal. If you have a 4 way connector at the rear of your Ram you will want to add a 7 way. You will need the Hopkins Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole # 37185 to complete your wiring. The blue brake wire will not run all the way back to the 4-pole at the rear; it stops at the connector...

  • Replacement 7-Way Connector For 1997 Dodge Dakota
    The first thing you will want to do is find out what is causing the issue with the 7-way connector you have installed on your 1997 Dodge Dakota. You could possibly have moisture or corrosion inside the 7-way connector or in the OEM vehicle harness connector your 7-way is plugged into. I would recommend first carefully inspecting the 7-way connector contacts for any greenish or whitish discoloration that could indicate corrosion and clean the contact surfaces as needed. If the contacts appear...

  • 5th Wheel Hitch and Related Parts Needed to Tow 10K Trailer with 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 Mega Cab
    I recommend a 5th wheel hitch with a custom install kit because these will reduce your installation time and drilling in your 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 Mega Cab. I also suggest you select a 16K-rated hitch because at this weight rating your hitch will include additional features often not found on lower-rated hitches - such as a cushioned 360-degree pivoting head like that on Curt sliding hitch # C16521. This hitch has a 4000-lb tongue weight rating and has 12-inches of slider travel to make...

  • Is Curt A20 Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch Compatible With 8 Foot Truck Bed?
    The Curt A20 sliding 5th Wheel Hitch # C16541 can absolutely be used in your long bed Ram. The sliding base isn't needed for a long bed, so it is a little heavier to install but will have no other issues. If you want new base legs for an easier installation you can use the Replacement Base Legs for Curt 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16904. This swap out will make a 93 lb difference as well as give you a more solid hitch because there won't be as many moving parts. You may also want to...

    Not all rails will work with every bracket kit so I would really need to know the model number of the rails that you have to confirm that the brackets will fit. I recommend going with the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50140-58, which would be the rails, brackets, and hardware all in one kit so that we know everything will be compatible. You could try purchasing just the brackets and hardware with part # RP50140, but there's no...

  • 2007 Ram Pickup Brakes Lock Up When Gooseneck Cattle Trailer is Connected to 7-Way
    The brakes on your 2007 Ram Pickup should not activate when a trailer is connected. Since your truck's brakes are hydraulic there is no way for an electrically-operated trailer brake controller to interact with the truck's brakes. If it is the brakes on your trailer that are locking up when connected to the truck, then this could mean that the pin configuration for the trailer connector does not match the wiring on the trailer. It sounds like the auxiliary 12V trailer power and electric...

You can reuse the center section by installing the B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Custom Installation Kit for Dodge item # BWGNRM1313.

  • Fifth Wheel Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500
    For trailer wiring that would allow you to install a 7-way in the bed of your 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 you would want the part # C56071 that has been confirmed as a fit.

These installation brackets mount beneath your truck bed to provide attachment points for 5th-wheel rails. The custom brackets mount to existing holes in your truck frame, which minimizes drilling and measuring. These rails are industry standard and can be used to mount any 5th wheel hitch...

    I have a Curt gooseneck hitch that will work with the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Springs, # F2299, on your 2004 Dodge Ram 2500, but the Curt installation kit, # C60661, will not fit on your truck. This kit was designed for 2011 and newer Ram trucks. For your truck, I recommend looking at the Curt EZr Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch, part # C60682, because the custom frame brackets mount on the outside of your frame, away from the frame bracket for the Firestone kit.

  • 5th Wheel/Gooseneck In-Bed Trailer Wiring for a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500
    Take a look at the back of the trailer connector on your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500. If the connecter that plugs into the back of it is square/rectangular then # C56071 will fit. All of the 5th wheel/gooseneck in-bed harnesses have square plugs for this truck. Take a look at the video I have linked showing installation of a similar harness. If the connector that plugs into the back is round then you would likely need # 54701-007.

  • Gooseneck/5th Wheel Trailer Wiring for the Bed of a 2006 Dodge Ram 3500
    I recommend going with a gooseneck wiring harness that has a 90 degree bend. The reason for this is because it makes installation easier because on some trucks there isn't a lot of space between the inner and outer bed side walls. Having an extra ground wire is not a bad thing. It helps ensure that the harness has a good ground connection. With that said you can't really go wrong with Hopkins harness # HM42137.

To determine exactly what you will need we have to first look at what type of trailer connector, if any, is on your truck.

    The square connectors you are looking for on your 2008 Dodge Ram to install the # C56071 are on the harness that runs to the 7-way of your truck. Easiest way to find it is to trace the harness from the back of the 7-way to the front of the truck. You'll encounter the square connector pretty easily from there.

You would follow the factory connector's wiring harness forward under the vehicle to where it plugs in. The connector should be rectangular like those on the Curt harness. If they are a different shape, then you would need to use # 20024 which requires hardwiring into the vehicle wiring. You would need a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 or a meter if you have one to determine...
