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.

2006 Dodge Ram Pickup

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:

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.



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!

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

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.

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

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:
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:
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:
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:
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

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:

Excellent will buy from trailer again

Still working as it should at 1 year



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



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:
2008 Dodge Ram Pickup

Awesome product. Took me longer to find my hole saw in the garage than it did to instal the harness. Took less than 20 minutes



by:

Easy...great wiring solution to connect existing tow package wiring to accommodate camper or fifth wheel.

Good quality product easy to install. Just purchased a new fifth wheel trailer and brought it home yesterday.

  • 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...

  • Bracket Kit and Suspension Enhancement for 5th Wheel Hitch Installation on 2000 Dodge Dakota
    If you can let me know what brand base rails you have I can definitely see if we have mounting brackets that will match up with your 2000 Dodge Dakota. According to my research though it looks like the parts are universal fitments so you could just install the B&W Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit # BWRVR3200 which gets you all new hardware, brackets, and rails that match each other so you know everything is fresh and matches. Sometimes there are differences in mounting holes which...

  • Parts Needed to Add 7 Way Connector to 1998 Dodge Ram with Factory Tow Package Wiring
    If your 1998 Dodge Ram already has the tow package wiring present at the rear of your vehicle, you can use the Curt # C56071 to plug directly into that wiring and create a 7 way on your truck. I also recommend adding the 7 way mounting bracket # 18138 if you're not mountin this in the truck bed, so that it doesn't just hang at the rear of your vehicle. If you also need a brake controller, I recommend using the Tekonsha Primus IQ # TK90160 and adapter plug # 3020-P which gives you a plug...

  • Recommended Base Rail Bracket Kit For A 2006 Dodge Ram 2500
    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...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Rail Kit for a 1997 Dodge Ram 1500
    I have a solution for you but the only option for a 5th wheel mounting kit is a universal kit like the B&W item # BWRVR3200. This kit provides you with a set of industry standard rails which will fit almost all 5th wheel hitches. This being a universal kit it will require some drilling. To make towing with a 5th wheel easier I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector - 10' Long item # C56071. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed...

  • Recommended Sidewinder Rotating Turret for a RBW 7028 Pin Box
    Thanks for the information. The RBW 7028 isn't a common pin box but we do have a sidewinder for it. It is the 5th Airborne Premium 5th Wheel Air Ride King Pin w/ Sidewinder and Turret item # RP61412. This will move the pivot point back 22" which will allow you to make sharp turns in your Ram short bed. The Reese Sidewinder is compatible with a Reese Classic 14K 5th wheel hitch but you will need the 5th Airborne Custom Wedge item # SWW-03. This locks the connection point of your 5th wheel...

  • Options for Using a 5th Wheel Hitch on a 2007 Dodge Ram Pickup with B&W Gooseneck Hitch Installed
    I have bad news and good news for you. The bad news is that you won't be able to install typical 5th wheel rails in the bed of your 2007 Dodge Ram Pickup because the brackets from the B&W gooseneck hitch use the same mounting locations. The good news is that we have adapters that you can use to get around this. If you already have a 5th wheel hitch that is compatible with industry standard base rails then all you need is the Demco 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter # DM6140. This installs in...

  • Base Rails Needed for a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500
    The Reese Installation Kit # RP58386 that you referenced is for 2009 - present Dodge Ram 1500s and will unfortunately not fit your 2001 Ram 2500. For your 2500 there are only universal options available. This means that the correct base rail kit for your pickup is the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit # RP30035. The kit includes industry standard base rails so as long as that is what your 5th wheel hitch mounts to you are good to go. I also recommend installing a 7-Way in...

  • 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...

    The Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16115 would be a great replacement for your Husky 16K Easy Roll Hitch. They have identical capacities and both mount on industry standard rails. Since you are using a Reese Revolution rotating pin box you will need the Sidewinder Wedge for Curt E Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches item # C16991. This prevents your Revolution king pin from pivoting in your hitch. To make towing with a 5th wheel easier I recommend adding...

    The Curt 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Wiring Harness # C56000 that you referenced is not a confirmed fit for your 2006 Dodge 3500 Megacab. The specified part for your truck is Curt Harness # C56071 which installs by simply plugging in to your Ram's existing factory 7-way wiring. Your factory 7-way will remain active after installation.

  • Help Finding Square Connector to Install Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness on 2008 Ram
    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. If you fast forward to the 1:40 mark of the attached video link You'll see exactly where to find it as well.

  • Gooseneck Trailer Wiring Harness for 1995 Dodge Ram 2500
    Due to the age of the truck, neither Curt nor Tow Ready have a listing for the vehicle, but there are only two possibilities. The wiring harness that plugs into the rear of your OEM 7-way should have either a rectangular or a round connector on it. If it is rectangular, use the # C56071 you mentioned. If instead, your 7-way uses a round connector, use part # C56070. I have provided a photo showing both styles of connectors side-by-side. I have linked you to install details.

  • Will Curt E16 5th Wheel Hitch and Universal Install Kit Fit a 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 Short Bed
    Curt 5th wheel hitch and universal installation kit # C16116 will fit your 1997 Dodge Ram. But since you have a short bed I recommend the slider version, # C16616, so you will have more clearance when making turns while towing. If your truck has the factory 7-Way connector at the bumper you can add an in-bed harness # C56071, that will plug in line with the factory 7-Way. This allows you to have 2 functioning 7-Ways without the need of an extension. If you want to use an extension though...

These installation brackets mount beneath your truck bed to provide attachment points for 5th-wheel rails.

This simply plugs into the existing wiring on your truck along the frame rail as shown in the attached video. You will then need part # ETBC7 to plug into the 4-way connector and with additional wiring will give you the 7-way you need. There is no plug and play wiring harness available for your Ram.

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.

    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.

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...
