Curt or Reese Gooseneck Hitch Kit Recommendation for 2016 Ram 3500
Question:
Need a gooseneck ball kit for a factory installed hitch system on a 2016 Ram3500. Can you tell me the differences between the Reese 30140 for $166 and the Curt C60618 for $115? I believe, unfortunately, both are made in China - would like to know what makes the Reese $50 more than the Curt Appreciate your help Thanks

Expert Reply:
For your 2016 Ram 3500 you would want the Curt gooseneck ball part # C60618 as it has the same capacities as the Reese at a much better price. I also like the safety chain loop release design better on the Curt setup as well.
