Best 2016 Ram 2500 Gooseneck Options- Video

Speaker 1: Today we're going to be looking at the best gooseneck options for our 2016 Ram 2500. While all of these will work with your Ram 2500 to allow you to haul a gooseneck trailer, there are some keys differences that'll set them apart.The biggest difference is going to be their towing capacities. Both our B&W and our CURT are going to have a max towing limit of 30,000 pounds and a max vertical load limit of 7,500 pounds, while our Draw-Tite's going to be a little bit less, with a maximum towing capacity of 20,000 pounds and a maximum vertical load limit of 5,000 pounds. It is always recommended to check your vehicle's owner's manual to make sure it's not going to exceed any of its towing or load limit capacities.Now what's really nice about the way all of these goosenecks install on our Ram 2500 is that there's no additional rail kit required. Most other vehicles require this additional rail kit, whereas our Ram 2500 has an existing rail system already included in the vehicle where these will just bolt right up to it using the hardware provided. Now you will still need to drill your holes for your safety chains and ball, but there'll be done frame drilling, which saves a lot of time. more

Curt Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation - 2016 Ram 2500- Video

Today on our 2016 Ram 2500 we'll be installing the curt under bed goose neck trailer hitch receiver, part number C60614. Here's what everything looks like once it's installed. When we're not towing our trailer and we want to have nice clean access to our truck bed, we put the plug in just like that and it'll keep any dirt and debris from getting inside the receiver making it difficult to insert the ball. As you can see everything sits very nice and flush with the bottom of our bed in these channels here. This won't take up hardly any of our bed space and we'll still be able to lay materials down flat inside our bed without taking up any of the space. Now when we're ready to hook up to our trailer, just remove our plug, take our ball, drop it down, twist the handle, push down in there and our ball's secure. Then we'll be ready to hook up to our goose neck. more

The ball is constructed of a durable steel construction, which will give you many years of service. When we want to remove our ball, or if our truck of is capable of having the ball stored upside down, all we need to do is pull the handle out towards us, and towards the front of the truck. As you can see, it latches in this position for us to remove the ball. When we're ready to put the ball back in, just push towards the rear of the truck and it spring loads itself into the lock position. Here's what our hitch comes with. more
