Choosing the right gooseneck hitch is only half the battle in preparing your pickup truck for towing a gooseneck trailer. You also need to make sure you’ve provided a solid foundation for that oversized loadout.

That’s where CURT’s gooseneck installation kit comes in. Its brackets and rails bolt onto the frame of your truck, typically using preexisting holes, giving it the strength it needs to manage the massive weight of a gooseneck trailer.

This particular gooseneck installation kit is specifically designed to mount the CURT Double Lock EZr gooseneck hitch (PN 60611) on certain Chevy Silverados and GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 pickups. It boasts a precise, laser-cut construction and is rated to the vehicle’s maximum gross trailer weight capacity. The kit includes all necessary hardware for installation—plus the brackets and rails are protected by a liquid Aquence coating, which guards against rust and other potential issues.

  • Constructed from high-strength, laser-cut steel for a precise fit.
  • Includes grade 8 mounting hardware.
  • Made in USA.
  • Mounts the 60611 Double Lock EZr gooseneck hitch on specific GM models.
  • Protected by a rust-resistant liquid Aquence coating.
  • Rated to vehicle’s maximum gross weight rating.
  • Vehicle-specific design optimizes strength and installation time.

CURT (56274): Custom Vehicle-to-Trailer Connector for 2015 Jeep Renegade

John Arnaud Leave a comment
Use This Post Clip for Email

A CURT custom vehicle-to-trailer wiring harness (also called a T-connector) is a simple plug-and-play electrical device that eliminates the need for cutting, splicing, or soldering when installing vehicle-to-trailer wiring.

Most vehicles do not come ready to tow. Unless your vehicle has a towing package, it is probably not equipped with a trailer wiring connector. This is where CURT’s custom vehicle-to-trailer wiring harnesses come into play. They plug into your vehicle’s electrical system using original equipment (OEM) connectors. Our custom wiring harnesses use two or more OEM connectors to plug in at the taillight assembly and provide a standard trailer socket to allow a trailer to be plugged into your vehicle’s power system.

This harness provides a four-way flat connector socket and comes with a circuit-protected converter. It is designed for certain years of Jeep Renegade (to verify vehicle compatibility, see the CURT application guide at curtmfg.com). CURT custom vehicle-to-trailer wiring harnesses are long lasting and quick to install. Dust covers keep your connector clean when not in use, while a 1-year limited warranty gives you peace of mind.

CURT (16017): OEM-Compatible 5th Wheel Legs for Ford

John Arnaud Leave a comment
Use This Post Clip for Email

CURT has developed OEM 5th wheel legs that are made to fit specific models of Ford trucks that have the included towing prep package. The legs mount directly onto the existing under-bed platform or mounting locations and allow any CURT 5th wheel hitch head to easily mount into the truck bed. With a gross trailer weight capacity of 24,000 lb., they are compatible with the CURT Q16, Q20, Q24, and E16 hitch heads.

The most unique feature of CURT’s OEM-compatible 5th wheel legs is the special anchoring system, which allows for quick installation while still supplying the necessary strength for heavy-duty towing. The variable-position anchors allow the 5th wheel hitch head to easily drop into the under-bed mounting brackets, and with a quarter-turn, the head can be installed or removed as needed. The anchors can also be adjusted to limit the movement of the hitch head and eliminate chucking noises.

To give you confidence in every job you undertake with your Ford pickup, CURT gave its OEM-compatible 5th wheel hitch legs a durable finish of black carbide powdercoat, making them extremely resilient to scratching, rusting, and UV damage. We also back our 5th wheel legs with a limited lifetime warranty to put your mind at ease with every mile traveled.

This CURT class 2 trailer hitch is made for light-duty towing, having a gross trailer weight capacity up to 2,000 lbs. and a tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs. This makes it an excellent choice for most smaller-size trailers such as single-axle utility trailers, small boat trailers, popup campers, and some recreational vehicle trailers. It is also perfect for adding cargo space with a hitch-mounted cargo carrier or bike rack.

CURT class 2 trailer hitches are generally used on full-size cars, crossover SUVs, compact SUVs, minivans, and even some smaller pickup trucks. This particular hitch is designed to be a custom-fit trailer hitch for certain years of the Jeep Renegade (2WD only). It features a round tube frame and comes with a hitch pin and clip and all hardware necessary for a complete installation. It also features a 1-1/4″ x 1-1/4″ receiver tube opening to accept a ball mount.

CURT cargo bags are the ideal way to keep your belongings well protected from water, dirt, road grime and even wind damage, all while being easy to manage and perfectly fitted for a CURT cargo carrier or roof basket. Unlike other cargo bags that use a thin vinyl material, our cargo bags are made from a thick, UV-resistant vinyl and have welded seams to be truly waterproof. One-inch wide polypropylene straps keep the bag firmly attached to the carrier and ensure your belongings will not jostle around. This CURT cargo bag comes with a heavy-duty zipper that wraps 3/4 of the way around the bag, and hook-and-loop flaps to keep the zipper completely covered and the inside of the bag totally dry. For a little extra security, the zippers are able to be joined together and feature large holes to accept a padlock. This particular CURT cargo bag offers 12.25 cu. ft. of storage area and is a perfect fit for most CURT cargo carriers. All of our cargo bags are easy to fold up for compact storage and come with a 1-year warranty.Curt 18210 7

CURT’s TruTrack™ Hitch Is One Heavy Hitter

by John M. Arnaud

The weight-distribution trunnion hitch just got served. CURT Manufacturing, a leading producer of towing products, today announced its new TruTrack™ hitch (17500), which offers advanced design features that deliver the smoothest, safest ride on the market.

CURT TruTrack Hitch
CURT TruTrack Hitch

The TruTrack resists trailer sway in a couple of different ways. First, whereas most traditional weight-distribution hitches use regular spring bars to connect to the trailer frame, the TruTrack features a pair of trunnion-style spring bars and heavy-duty, adjustable support brackets, which are set at fixed positions by the user and hold the spring bars in place, both vertically and laterally.

Second, the TruTrack uses an integrated spring/cam system instead of standard pins and bolts. This CURT innovation builds up pressure to actively stop sway and then relaxes to make smooth turns. Hardened components achieve longer life, while a hex castle nut enables easy adjustment and fits most industry-standard couplers.

Another big benefit of the TruTrack system is the installation: instead of relying on a pile of washers and pins, this CURT weight-distribution hitch uses a pair of interlocking nuts and preset holes that offer specific angles and on-the-fly adjustment—no more tilt-angle guesswork or disassembling the hitch head.
