Expert Answers about Chevrolet Gooseneck Installation Kit


  • Recommended Gooseneck Installation Rail Kit for 1999 Chevy Silverado
  • For a rail kit that will fit your 1999 Chevy Silverado, I recommend the Draw-Tite Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation Rail Kit # 4454. This kit will use existing holes in the truck's frame for a no-drill installation and all of the necessary hardware is included. This kit is designed to work with Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch and Reese gooseneck hitches. If you are able to tell me the manufacturer or model of your existing gooseneck hitch, I will be happy to confirm if this will work. I have...

  • Hidden Gooseneck Hitch Options for 2013 Ford F-250
  • In order to install a Hide-A-Ball style gooseneck hitch on your 2013 Ford F-250 you'll need an underbed installation kit and gooseneck hitch; I recommend using the Hide-A-Goose Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Installation Kit # 9460-49 since it allows for full truck bed access when ball is stored because the ball and safety chain loops are the only part of the hitch above the bed of the truck. The gooseneck ball on this hitch stores upside down in the hitch when it's not in use, to...

  • Does Gooseneck Hitch of 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 Need to Remove to Install B and W Rail Kit
  • Yes you would need to remove the gooseneck hitch of your 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 to install the B and W fifth wheel rail kit part # BWRVR3202-00 so that you can use the B and W Patriot Slider hitch part # BWRVK3270 you mentioned as well. The rail kit and the gooseneck hitch you have both use the same part of the truck frame to install which is why they both can't fit at the same time.

  • Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for a 2014 Ram 2500 Short Bed without Factory Prep Package
  • Gooseneck installation kit # 4435 does not fit the 2014 Ram 2500 but instead you will need # 9467 to add a gooseneck hitch. The 2014 Ram 2500 already has the necessary support structure to install the head only of a gooseneck hitch. No additional installation kit is needed.

  • Recommended Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation Rail Kit for 2012 Ford F-250

  • Choosing Between Gooseneck Hitch or Adapter on Fifth Wheel Rails for 2006 Ford F250
  • Without knowing which installation kit was used to install the hitch that was on the vehicle previously I cannot say for certain if the holes will line up, but there is a fair chance that they will. I would recommend installing the fifth wheel rails, and using a rail mounted gooseneck ball like the Curt # 16085. Adapting the fifth wheel rails to accept a gooseneck ball is much simpler and usually less expensive that using an adapter on a gooseneck ball to pull a fifth wheel hitch. To...

  • The only gooseneck hitch and install kit we offer that has been confirmed to fit your 5-1/2 foot bed 2006 Chevy 1500 Silverado is the Curt Hitch and Install kit part # C60712. This comes with the hitch and rail kit so there wouldn't be any additional products needed for installation. For added clearance you would also want the part # C602.

  • Recommended Gooseneck Installation Kit for 1996 Dodge Ram 2500
  • I do have a solution for you, however the Draw-Tite Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation Rail Kit # 4435 referenced in your question will not fit your 1996 Dodge Ram. This particular installation kit is designed for later model year Rams, starting with the 2003 model year 2500. For your truck, I instead recommend the Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation Rail Kit # 4439.

  • Solution for Towing Gooseneck Trailer with Truck That Has Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Installed
  • I have a solution that will allow you to tow a gooseneck trailer with your truck that currently has fifth wheel rails, but you can't install the Curt gooseneck you referenced at the same time since they install on the same part of the truck frame. So what you can use is the Curt Spyder adapter part # 16085 which fits the rails you have now and provides a gooseneck ball for you to tow a gooseneck trailer with.

  • Gooseneck Hitch for 2001 Ford F-350 that Can Fit with Air Bag Suspension Kit
  • I looked at all of the gooseneck hitch options we carry for your 2001 Ford F-350 that has the Air Lift kit # AL88215 and none will fit with it's brackets. The only option we have would be to go with the Firestone kit part # F2550 so that you could install a hitch like the B and W Turnoverball # BWGNRK1108.

  • Will 5th Wheel Base Rails Work On a Truck with Gooseneck Hitch Installed
  • I do have an option for you but you cannot install fifth wheel base rails on a truck with a gooseneck hitch. The frame brackets for either will interfere will one another. The best option which would not require you to remove the gooseneck and still allow for gooseneck towing when needed would be a gooseneck to fifth wheel hitch for which I recommend the Blue Ox Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # BLU52XR. The Blue Ox will simply drop onto the hitch ball and then it allows...

  • Will the Reese Universal Base Rails Installation Kit RP30035-309 Fit a Short Bed 2009 Toyota Tundra
  • Yes, the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit part # RP30035-309 will fit your 2009 Toyota Tundra and it can be used with a gooseneck plate to haul your car hauler trailer. If you do run into turning clearance issues we have an offset gooseneck plate, the Curt 25K Gooseneck Plate for 5th Wheel Rails part # 16055 which moves the connection point away from the cab for more clearance. Please note, the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit requires drilling into the frame...

  • Using a 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Gooseneck Trailer Hitch in a 1999 Dodge Ram Short Bed
  • There is a way to have both a gooseneck hitch and 5th wheel hitch in the same truck but the combination of the Draw-Tite hitch and Husky 5th wheel installation kit will not work. What I recommend is a B&W set up for your 1999 Dodge Ram short bed. For the gooseneck hitch use # BWGNRK1394-5W. This is the hitch and the installation kit together. Then for a 5th wheel hitch that fits in the gooseneck ball hole use the Companion slider # BWRVK3400-5W. I have included links to videos on both...

  • Is There a Gooseneck Adapter that Fits Reese Elite Underbed Rails of 2006 Ford F-250
  • Yes, the Elite Rail Kit adapter part # RP30845 does fit the Reese Elite rail kit part # RP30073 that you referenced. This adapter has a 25k capacity as well. The underbed rail kit part # RP30073 is the correct rail kit for your 2006 Ford F-350 as well but it sounds like you have that already installed.

  • Gooseneck Hitch Compatible With 5th Wheel Rails
  • There is not a gooseneck hitch that is compatible with your current rails, I recommend removing them and installing an under bed kit based on your year, make, model as these are custom fit. If you want to install 5th wheel rails and add a gooseneck, you can use the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10 Bolt # RP30035 and then add an adapter like the Curt 25K Gooseneck Plate for Fifth Wheel Rails # 16055

  • Recommended B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch for 2014 RAM 3500 Dually 6-1/2 Foot Bed
  • For your 2014 Ram 3500 short bed you will use the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit # BWGNRK1314. This is a really easy install for your truck and I've attached a video to show you the installation process on your truck. You may want to consider using the 4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches # BWGNXA4085 for turning clearances depending on your specific gooseneck trailer.

  • Air Bag Enhancement Kit that Fits 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 with B and W Gooseneck Hitch
  • The best air bag kit for your 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 is the Air Bag Kit part # AL88388 which does fit with the B and W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch you have installed as well # BWGNRK1019 that you referenced. Most other kits will not fit with the gooseneck hitch you have but the Air Lift does. It will require you to do some drilling due to the hitch though.

  • What Gooseneck Hitch do You Recommend for My 2021 Ram 1500?
  • For a great gooseneck hitch option for your 2021 Ram 1500 (6-1/2 ft. bed), I recommend the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit # BWGNRK1319. Apart from the maximum vertical load capacity of 7,500 pounds and a gross towing weight of 30,000 pounds, the Turnoverball includes a simple installation and comes with a custom mounting kit. Also, the hitch comes with safety chain loops installed for easy chain attachment. If you need safety chains, I recommend...

  • Gooseneck Hitch Recommendations for a 1992 Ford F250
  • The Curt Gooseneck Plate part # C65500 that you referenced is a universal fit item that could be installed in your 1992 Ford F250. The recommended way to install it would be to also use the Universal Rail Kit part # C61502. I spoke to Curt about whether or not this system can be used without the rail kit and they said it can be installed without the rail kit, but you will need to use a minimum of six 1/2 inch Grade 5 mounting bolts. Another option you have that would be easier to install...

  • Recommendation for a Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for 5th Wheel Rails in a 2002 Ford F-350
  • First, with the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit, # RP30035, installed in your truck, you will be able to use a gooseneck hitch designed for above the bed rails. We have some options for gooseneck hitches that will fit in the 5th wheel rails. You can use Curt gooseneck plate # 16055, which can have a 3 inch offset when placed in the rails with the short side point towards the rear of the truck.
