Rob: Hey everybody, it's Rob here at etrailer.com. Today we're going to take a look at the CURT gooseneck kit on a 2019 RAM 2500. Now our CURT gooseneck hitch is going to allow us to hook up to a gooseneck trailer and tow it down the road safely. But at the same time, it's going to allow us to remove the tow ball here and have full bed access. It's an extremely easy process, there's a little lever at the top. Just flip it up, rotate it, and then the ball will come right out. And putting it in is just as easy, slide it in place, rotate the lever to where it's in line with that notch, slip it down. Now the ball's locked in place. Now what's going to keep the ball locked in is these ball-bearings, and that lever is what's actually activating those ball bearings.You can see now they're locked out, the ball's not going to be able to come out. But when we do lift the lever and rotate it, you can see it fall in and there's no pressure on them. It's a really easy process, and I actually prefer this style ball and gooseneck to get the ball in place rather than having the lever that's in the wheel well. Because a lot of the times, sometimes they get stuck, they're not that easy to operate. And this is right here where we need to be. So once you unhook from your gooseneck and you want to take the ball out, you don't have to go over to the bed, come in the bed, pull the ball out everything is just one step, one easy way to do it. Now like all trailers, you need a spot to hook up your safety chains. So you can see here, we have a pretty good size hook that fits on there perfectly well.And there's actually plenty of more room, because this hook actually is fucking 00:01:35 loaded just like the other one. So when we don't have our hooks in place, just going to sit, maybe it's an inch so, maybe a little bit less than an inch above the bed. When we do need it, we can easily pull it up and again there're spring loaded from the right back down, easy slide things over and use your bed if you need to. And those times when you're not towing, you take the goose ball out. And CURT actually provides you with this nice rubber cover, it's going to make sure that dirt, debris and anything else isn't going to get inside the gooseneck hole. And it makes it a lot easier to slide things in place. You've got some gears and trolls or anything you need to get in the bed of your truck, it makes it nice and even so things are going to catch on the lip of anything.Now like most gooseneck hitches, it is going to come with a 2-5/16 inch ball. That is a pretty standard size for most gooseneck trailers and couplers. Now, another thing you do want to keep in mind is the load limit or the weight limit of our hitch. And the hitch is going to have a 35,000 pound gross trailer weight rating. Well, something you do need to keep in mind is that's the rating for the hitch. So I do urge you to check your RAM's owner's manual because you don't want to exceed the manufacturer's rating. One thing I do want to mention about our CURT gooseneck hitch is not compatible with the CURT X5 adapter. That's the adapter that puts rails into the bed of your truck so you can use a 5th wheel.It slides right into the gooseneck, it's not going to work with this gooseneck hitch. So I've installed quite a few goosenecks in my time, and I do have to say that this CURT kit is a very straightforward to install. There's no special tools required and we're not going to have to do any drilling or cutting on the frame. Now, obviously we are going to have to drill a few holes in the bed because the ball has to get in place and our safety chains have to get in place. But that's only five holes that we're going to have to drill, and again, nothing to deal with the frame. In fact, there's only one main component and that's going to be the center section of the hitch to get it installed. And it's not like the old style where we have to loosen the bed and possibly prop it up, everything fits from underneath.And since it is only one component, you can do it by yourself. I recommend getting an extra set of hands because it can be a little cumbersome to try to lift it above your head and get the bolts in place, but it is possible. Again, it's probably one of the most straightforward installs that I've done. And just so you have the confidence to do it at home, let's go through the process together. To begin our installation, we want to lower down our spare tire and then we can move underneath our truck. And we're going to have this heat shield right around where the spare tire was just in fr
