Is this right For you? Product Expert Kathleen M says:
Yes, if you:
Have a lifted truck and need the shortest hitch ball to make sure your trailer rides level
Like the sleek look of the flush, integrated handle on this hitch ball
No, if you:
Plan to remove these often - the hitch ball and snap ring pins on the safety chain loops have been known to seize up
Have smaller safety chain hooks - you may not be able to get them to fit around these thick loops
Hate when the hitch ball starts to wear out - this chrome plating tends to wear off quickly

Had no issues and its a very good strong setup. But I ended up installing a B&W turn over ball to save having to store the hitch and to move the safety chain hookups closer to the gooseneck and free up bed space..1316005

Excellent . I love this whole unit. As a single woman I really appreciate the case to hold the hitch and tie down rings. When I need to use the gooseneck in my truck it's quick and easy to install. When I need the full bed to haul hay and bags of grain, the hitch can be stored away under the back seat in my truck. Very bpkeased with the quality.1055951
I ordered the Curt ball,and safety chain kit for my new 2018 Ram 2500 with factory hitch. A excellent value,for a quality product, that saved me a lot of money compared to OEM dealer price. Fast shipping had me ready to tow, in no time at all.484842
Gooseneck ball and chain fasteners were delivered when they said, used it immediately upon receiving it. Very quick install, towing in less than 10 min. 662781
WEll. me being 70 years old the only gooseneck balls I ever had was the screw in type. I bought a new truck and looked at the hole and low and behold there was no threads to screw the ball into! I was telling the man that I buy hay from and he sent me a picture of this new Curt ball and so I tried it and the saftey chain loops. You were very fast on the shipping and when I got it and read the short pamplet on the instructions I thought "I got this I can do it" So I put it in just like the instructions said and wow it was so easy. Then I did the saftey chain holders and it was so pretty and shiney. I took it back out and put back in the box and put in my tool box so I have it now when I need it. Before I got it I was wondering how I was going to pull a trailer no worries now. Lets just so it's so easy even a 70 year old woman can do it!1176890
Great customer service. My order was packaged and shipped within a few minutes of ordering. 4 day shipping showed up the morning of day 3. Loved their order tracking page. Safety chain loops are heavier duty than I was expecting. Will order from them again.855383

Great product. Fits perfectly in the factory installed gooseneck hitch. Have only used 4 times hauling hay 200 bales at a time in a livestock trailer about 17,000 lbs total. Would recommend to anyone looking for a gooseneck ball. Love the storage case for when its not being used.
Ordering from etrailer was easy and fast. The Curt ball and safety chains loops, install only took a few minutes, at great prices as well. I would recommend etrailer to anyone

2014 Ram 3500
Being new to goosenecks I had my doubts as to how this product would perform. The dodge dealership quoted me over $400 just for the parts so that spooked me.
When I got this product, I immediately went and installed it and was very surprised at how easy and secure the ball and safety chain loops fit. I went to the ranch and used it right away pulling over 30 heifers in one load on my new gooseneck trailer. Thanks so much etrailer!!!434254
Perfect for Ram 3500 with factory fifth wheel/gooseneck package.1170697

One word, "Perfect".
Very easy install. Serves exactly the purpose it was intended for. Drop this in the bed of a 2019 Ram 2500 and has logged 1000's of miles pulling a 3 horse goose neck trailer to many Horse Shows and Fox Hunts! (Yes, we have those in Texas!)844438
Service was great and shipping was fast.. Product preforms as designed. Needed this to support a recent trailer purchase that had a gooseneck conversion do to it.. This fits great in my Ram.1229650

Curt gooseneck kit, an outstanding product. Carrying case will come in handy, fits anywhere in the truck. Quick install. Highly recommended.366554
Excellent product simple installation great price would recommend to anyone one in need of a goose neck ball. Etrailer was great to deal with they were in always in contact the hole process and followed up in the end all around great experience.280203
This is one heavy duty towing set up! The spring loaded retaining clips are a bit of overkill...emphasis "kill". I have had the clips snap shut on my nail beds more than once and the pain was off the charts. I literally was cussing in tongues! There is no way that the chain loops could ever come out of the slots. I needed sturdy hardware and got just that.691902
Comments
This product has had a good workout and has held up well and performed beautifully!
Great product. Works just as good as Dodge's and half the price. Easy to slip ball in and safety chain tie downs are a cinch. Stores nicely in box under your seat.250790
Perfect fit for my 2015 Ram 2500 No tools needed. Drop in place twist and add locking pin.1198277
by: Jeff A.08/17/2016
Product arrived on time - thanks eTrailer! Case is very nice for storage, as all parts will need to be regularly lubricated. The safety chain attachments will need clevis to hook the chains, to keep the hooks from dislodging. The ball is well made, robust. My only small concern is the significant movement/looseness of the ball shank once the ball is into the receiving hole in the hitch (below the bed). It concerns the ability for vertical lift of the trailer with just 2 small ball locks holding the ball hitch in place, with some noticeable looseness in the socket. 284711

It works great I pull a 26 foot horse trailer that I converted into a toy hauler a couple times a month and haven’t had any problems with the product.605782
Product is what I ordered but etrailer shipping sucks called the day the item was suppose to be delivered and they hadn’t shipped my item out,used etrailer to order because it said it was the fastest shipping which wasn’t the case1145923

Works really well for the ew dodge trucks with the manufactures preinstallled gooseneck package. Everything fit right. The only down side for me was the pucks D ring was to thick for my safety chain hook so I had to add clevis pins to hook the safety chain to. Great product I would recommend1035586

2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500
Just received my new Curt's goose neck ball kit for my 2018 Dodge 3500.Parts all appear to be of high quality and very nice hard plastic storage case. Test fits into my factory installed 5th wheel goose neck prep kit assembly, have not yet pulled my goose neck trailer but I'm confident this kit will function just fine . Shipping was quick buying experience great. I will be a return customer with etrailer for my future trailer needs.
Thanks Guys ! 558426
if your Ram is a 2014 or newer and has the factory-installed gooseneck trailer hitch, the Curt Ball and Safety Chain Loops Kit, part # C60618 will work great for you.
This kit includes a ball, a rubber ball cover, 2 safety-chain loops, and storage case. This kit has a gross towing weight capacity of 30,000-lbs and the hitch ball size is 2-5/16 inches diameter.

For a gooseneck ball to fit the Ram hitch prep package you have in your 2016 Ram 3500 you would want the Curt part # C60618. This also comes with the safety chain hook ups that will also attach to the Power Pucks of your rail kit. view full answer...
For your 2016 Ram 3500 the Curt Gooseneck Ball and Chain Loops part # C60618 is the correct kit for your truck.
If you have an Andersen Ultimate Connection part # AM3225 this hitch ball would attach to it and allow you to tow a fifth wheel trailer. view full answer...
I went to the warehouse and took some measurements of the Curt Ball and Safety Chain Loops # C60618 for you.
The outside to outside dimension of the loop is 4-1/4 inches. I have attached a photo of the loop with the dimensions shown you can check out. I also attached a photo of the base and loop. The base measures 2-3/4 inches and from the outside edge of the base to the end of the loop the measurement is 4-3/4 inches. Per the instructions the chain loops should face the center of the... view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at Curt and he had a way for you to release the ball from the underside of the hitch.
From underneath of the vehicle the customer will have to remove the cover/plug on the bottom of the ball if there is one. This will reveal the internals of the ball. Inside the ball he will see the metal bar that holds the balls in place(see attached photo). He will need to rotate the bar 90 degrees to release the balls that lock it in place. The internals of the ball will likely... view full answer...
Yes, the Curt gooseneck ball and safety chain loops # C60618 will fit the factory gooseneck hitch ball hole in the 2017 Ram 2500. I have linked a video featuring this set for you. view full answer...
The highest capacity hitch ball we have for your 2018 Ram is 30k like the Curt ball part # C60618 which comes with safety chain loops.
Your truck is most likely not rated for towing over 30k so having a hitch ball rated higher wouldn't gain you additional capacity as you are only as strong as the weakest component in your towing setup. I attached an install video for this kit for you to check out as well that shows it installed in a similar 2017 Ram. view full answer...
For your 2016 Ram 2500 with the factory rail kit the Curt ball mount kit part # C60618 is a fit and will give you a gooseneck ball for your truck bed that the Andersen Ultimate part # AM3225 can attach to.
The balls that hold the Curt ball into the rail kit of your truck will be more than strong and secure enough to keep it in the truck bed while you are towing. view full answer...
If your 2017 Ram 3500 has the OEM factory rail kit then the Curt gooseneck kit that you need it part # C60618.
This kit includes the hitch ball, safety chain loops, and hitch ball hole cover as you can see in the linked video. view full answer...
The Dodge Ram OEM gooseneck hitch setups have not changed between the 2012 model year and the present 2019 model year, according to my contact at Curt. The ball and safety chain kit # C60618 that you referenced fits the Ram pickups with OEM prep. view full answer...
I recommend the Curt Ball and Safety Chain Loops Kit for Ram Underbed Gooseneck Hitch part # C60618 which is a very simple design but good quality. The ball has a built in lever for easy unlocking and ball removal from the bed. It is chrome-plated steel to protect it from corrosion and comes with a nice storage case for when you are not using it. It also comes with a rubber cover to protect the hole in the bed from grime build up when not in use. view full answer...
Sounds like the balls of the Curt pop in ball part # C60618 have some corrosion or have locked up in the out position which is preventing the ball from being able to release.
You are going to want to do is spay lube between the collar and hitch ball, around where you think the retention balls would be. The more the better... Then let this sit for an hour or so or overnight if you can. Then you will want to take a rubber mallet and tap the hitch ball while lifting the release latch to... view full answer...
Odds are you are just fine using the hitch ball from your 2017 Nissan Titan for your 2019 Ram 3500 with the OEM gooseneck connection. Just to be sure, I went out to our warehouse and took some measurements on the hitch ball that comes with the Curt Ball and Safety Chain Loops Kit # C60618 which is compatible with the OEM Ram gooseneck hitch. The shank had a 2-1/4" diameter and then from the base of the hitch ball to the center of the bearing that locks it in place was about 1-1/2". If the... view full answer...
We sure do! For your 2019 Ram 3500 that's equipped with the factory puck system in the bed the Curt Ball and Safety Chain Loops Kit # C60618 will work perfectly.

The system features a 30,000 pound towing weight capacity and comes with a limited lifetime warranty. I have attached a short video review below that... view full answer...

To remove your Curt gooseneck ball I recommend first using a penetrating oil WD40 to spray into that hitch ball lever and also around the edge of the hole on the top and bottom. Use a little vibration from a rubber mallet to let the oil find its way into all the bound locations. Let sit for a few minutes and then try again. If that still doesn't release the ball I'd try again but let the lube sit over night. view full answer...
The Curt Ball and Safety Chain Loops Kit for Ram Underbed Gooseneck Hitch # C60618 that fits certain model years of Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks does not come with a gooseneck hitch or rails. You would need to have the OEM factory prep package for this to work.
If you do not have that and need a gooseneck hitch, I'd be happy to recommend the best option if you let me know the year, model, and bed size of your Ram. view full answer...
The only gooseneck ball solution we have that's designed for your 2014 Dodge Ram 2500 with the factory gooseneck hitch is the Curt hitch ball setup part # C60618. This ball fits right into the gooseneck hitch opening on your Ram. The # 9460 would not fit so we do not recommend it for you. view full answer...
Yes! For the safety chain loops only for the 2014 Ram 3500 with factory prep package you will need # C60617. They also come with the 4 pins you will need. view full answer...
The Curt Ball and Safety Chain Loops Kit for Ram Underbed Gooseneck Hitch # C60618 is the confirmed fit for your 2017 Ram 3500 with Factory Rail Kit.
The Curt 4" Offset Ball for Double-Lock Gooseneck Hitch # C602 is only compatible with aftermarket gooseneck hitches that have the pull pin on the side of the bed. Unfortunately there is not an offset ball option for a factory rail kit at this time. view full answer...
While the # C60692 requires a Chevrolet, Ford, GMC or Nissan puck system for installation and the # C60618 fits the Ram puck system, the #C60692 hitch ball will also fit a Ram truck but included safety chain loops will not. The # C60618 kit includes the safety chains loops and fits your Ram truck so you that is what you want.
Included are additional video resources for more information on both. view full answer...
