Where Does Curt Gooseneck Ball for 2020 Silverado 2500 Install Relative to Rear Axle
Question:
The only reason I'm asking and looking more at the gooseneck setup is to utilize my bed without obstructions and to possibly tow a BigTex trailer. After viewing the B & W, I question the pull rod to release the ball. Have you came across any complaints on the rod getting stuck? It also has a different coating and weight rating compared to the Curt.

Expert Reply:
When the Curt Custom Underbed OEM-Style Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # C60642 is installed it will center the gooseneck ball right over the rear axle of the truck.
The Pullrite 3900 is designed to attach directly to a gooseneck hitch ball like this so it would work well. The 2900 requires fifth wheel rails so it would.

You are the first one to recommend a B & W setup. Would it give me the clearance I need even though it's similar to the Curt gooseneck?
