Yes, if you:
Feel reassured by the double-pin design that locks the hitch ball into place and prevents rotation
Are new to DIY projects and want a drill guide to make sure you get it right
No, if you:
Have an aftermarket exhaust system that limits the space between the truck bed - you might have to store the hitch ball in your truck
Get tired of having to pull a handle in the wheel well and then hop into the truck bed to move the hitch ball
The chrome-plated ball on this gooseneck hitch locks in place with 2 pins for extra security. When you're done towing, flip the ball over and store it inside the hitch, freeing up your truck bed.

Curt EZr Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch Operation
The Curt EZr Double Lock underbed gooseneck trailer hitch provides a sturdy, secure connection for towing your gooseneck trailer and also allows for a clean, unobtrusive look for your truck bed when you aren't towing. To tow, simply pull the included handle out to unlock the hitch. Then insert the chrome-plated hitch ball into the ball hole. You may need to rotate the ball to line it up with the dual locking pins. When the ball drops into place, rotate the handle counterclockwise until the locking pins snap into position. Because there are 2 locking pins instead of 1, you get extra security for your towing setup.
Get full bed access when you're not towing. Just remove the ball, flip it upside down, drop it back into the ball hole of the hitch, and use the handle to lock the ball in place. A rubber cover is included with the EZr Double Lock. When the ball is stowed upside down in the hitch, place this cover over the ball hole to keep out dirt and grime and create a clean look for your vehicle.
Curt Center Locator Tool
The innovative center locator tool included with this gooseneck trailer hitch is designed to make installation fast and easy by eliminating the need to measure where the ball hole must be cut into your truck bed. Once you have the custom installation kit in place and the gooseneck hitch is properly attached to the rails, the bright orange locator will help you to finish installation.
Use the hole at the center of the locator to line up your 3/16" drill bit, and drill up from beneath the bed to create a pilot hole. This pilot hole will be your guide as you cut the 4" diameter ball hole into your truck bed.
When you begin cutting through your bed, the locator will act as a trim shield, ensuring that you don't drill too deep. Continue cutting from the top of your truck bed until orange shavings appear. Once you see these shavings, you've gone far enough. The center locator can be easily removed from the hitch once installation is complete.

Nice clean look. Most importantly didn't have to lower exhaust. centering the hitch in the bed was easy because of the template provided. Although install did take longer than what was noted, it was fairly simple. Would definitely purchase again. 821676
Great hitch, working great. Many, many miles on it dragging horses all over the Midwest. Only thing I did was coat locking pins and ball with anti-seize.

One of the 2 black carrier spacers is gone #60645-cbs. They were loose in the box with the rails and side plates. One fell out of the torn box. Don't know why those spacers were not put in the plastic bag of hardware. So now can not mount the hitch. Called your office and ordered , But who knows how long that will take. Not very happy with your company.1245713

I have had a few different GN hitches over the years and this model is top notch. The installation was straight forward and the drill guide made the location of where to drill effortless. If I had to pick a place where improvement could occur, it would be the resistance of the safety chain loop springs. They ensure rattles don't occur, but getting the chain loop inside can be difficult at times. Overall the construction is very robust. The nice touches such as the rubber cap and the price point make this a great option. I would repeat the purchase.746379

It didn't slide in as easily as in the video, but I was also working on the ground in a very cramped garage instead of from a lift. Watch the videos on here and it's no issue. The only thing I almost gave up on was the little rubber gasket around the cut. Incredibly difficult to get on but once it makes it all look finished.1011968

Review from a similar Ezr Double Lock in Gooseneck Hitch
Seems heavy duty but the brackets hit the u-bolts and spring top plates. Curt told me I must of installed them wrong. I don't think so1295928
I contacted Curt and they said that there is something different about your truck. I looked through our previous reviews on the matter and came across a similar situation as yours where the brackets hit the U-bolts. One of our experts said that the suspension may be worn and sitting lower than normal causing the issue. The customer then replied a year later saying that he installed air bags on his truck and the problem was resolved. I would check your suspension and see if this would be your solution as well.

Review from a similar Ezr Double Lock in Gooseneck Hitch
I installed this hitch on my 2021 Silverado 2500HD. When first looking under the truck it appeared the exhaust would have to be modified to make the unit fit. The fact is this unit went in without any modifications at all…even all the factory drilled holes lined up perfectly. I recommend this hitch to anyone that has a stock exhaust system.1268636
Review from a similar Ezr Double Lock in Gooseneck Hitch
2021 Sierra 2500 standard box. Item arrived pretty quick with all parts included and no damage.
Instructions for the install are, in my opinion, not very detailed and left me having to figure several things out on my own. Biggest pain was having to drop the fuel tank a few inches to access the hole in the driver-side frame rail to fish wire the one bolt for the side plate. Unsure why this info was missing as I would imagine anyone installing this on the same truck would have the same issue of not having enough clearance for the fish wire procedure. The front and rear rails are 0.25” in length different and are not labeled - be prepared to measure and appropriately install in the correct position with the holes closer to the bottom (this is poorly referenced in the instructions and leaves additional room for error and time). The install took me about 7 hours (no help).
Finished product is nice and sturdy. The ball ends up being about 4-5” forward the rear axle. I tried to find this info prior to purchasing, but could not. I use an extang hard tri-fold tonneau cover that does not flip fully up toward the cab and was concerned I would have to remove each time I hooked up a gooseneck. It appears that I will have to remove for most applications due to clearance issues, so less than ideal. Operates as intended and should bring many years of trouble free service.1474733

Review from a similar Ezr Double Lock in Gooseneck Hitch
Build quality was outstanding, this is one stout piece of equipment. Install was a bit challenging because I did it by myself, but if I had someone to help it would have been much easier. Overall, the install was not too bad, just give yourself about 4-5 hrs if you don't have help. I'm very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend.1112594

1 year later and about 15k miles of towing the gooseneck trailer flawlessly. I would definitely recommend this hitch!

The instructions that come with are horrible. But you go on Curt’s website and they have a very well put together video. Everything went together smoothly and hitch performs great.

Easy to install. 64 years old and did it all by myself. So glad I went with this style. Have gooseneck and fifth wheel ability. When I want my full bed there’s no rails in the way. Pulling 13,000-14,000 lb fifth wheel camper. No problems.986161

Review from a similar Ezr Double Lock in Gooseneck Hitch
hitch itself fit good, Didn't really like the mounting design though. Kit requires one big bolt and a u bolt "Are supplied" that holds it on truck. Seems it could be made more secure with better designed mounting brackets,but overall kit fit well and is working for what i need.1190212

Review from a similar Ezr Double Lock in Gooseneck Hitch
Great hitch and easy to use. I did have to lift up the bed a little bit to install it. Took me about 5 hours because of that but otherwise it is a great hitch. The rings for the safety chains stay on the bed and the ball flips over and stows away completely. 785358
Review from a similar Ezr Double Lock in Gooseneck Hitch
The install of this hitch was great. Fit fine and works as it should. Only issue I had was that I'm the second owner of the truck and first owner had installed both a gooseneck and a 5th wheel hitch and welded a bunch of brackets to the truck frame, then removed both hitches before he got rid of truck. I had to spend a couple hours grinding the brackets off before I could install new hitch. I had to inlarge hole for the gooseneck ball as the placement of new ball was 2.5"s farther back then the original hitch that had bee there previously.1262927

Installation went well and the hitch works for everything we need1048065
The difference between the part numbers you mentioned is the vehicles they fit. The part # C60683 is the correct gooseneck hitch for your 2015 Ford F-250 so it would be what you need. view full answer...
To install the Curt EZr Double Lock Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # C60683 on your 2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty you will need to have a 4" hole in the bed of your truck.
This hitch actually comes with a center locator to help make your cut accurate if you don't already have that cutout in your truck bed.
Attached are the installation instructions for you to check out. view full answer...
If you check out the attached picture you can see that there are two pins that hold the hitch ball of the Curt gooseneck part # C60683. A lower one that the ball sits on top of and a higher one that fits through the side of the hitch ball and retracts to allow the ball to remove or install. view full answer...
With regards to the OEM Prep Package, this is referring to the factory installed pucks and trailer wiring that is an option when purchasing your vehicle. An easy way to tell for this situation is if the bed of your 2015 Ford F-350 Super Duty has holes in it. If there is one in the center or a layout of 4 or 5 of them, then you have the OEM package.
If you do not have that, then the proper gooseneck for your Super Duty is in fact the Curt EZr Double Lock, part # C60683, that you referenced.... view full answer...
The Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch part # C60720 and Curt EZr Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch part # C60683 are similar but not the same gooseneck hitch. They are both fits for your 2013 Ford F-250 but the EZr has center locator tool which makes for drilling the hitch ball opening hole much easier. They are the same save for the center locator tool. view full answer...
The Curt EZr Double Lock # C60683 and the Double Lock # C60720 are essentially the same gooseneck system with some minor differences. Mainly, the EZR sits lower by 3/8" in the truck bed, but it's main draw is that it's designed to be a bit easier to install. Both will fit on the 2012 Ford F-250 with 6-3/4 Foot Bed.
I've linked some review and installation videos of the two for you to check out and decide for yourself. view full answer...
Yes, the Firestone air bag kit # F2703 you have for your 2016 Ford F-250 is compatible with in-bed hitches like the Curt gooseneck part # C60683 that you referenced as well. view full answer...
The Curt Double Lock, Flip and Store Underbed Gooseneck Hitch w/ Installation Kit - 30,000 lbs # C60720 does not come with the hole locator you are referring to. That orange locator comes only with the Curt EZr Double Lock Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Installation Kit - 30,000 lbs # C60683. It is a really nice and easy way to ensure the gooseneck hole is in the correct location without all the measurements.
With either of these gooseneck options you may also be interested in... view full answer...
The Curt Double Lock # C60720 and the Curt EZr Double Lock # C60683 are basically the same gooseneck hitch. The difference is in the installation. The EZr gives you the ability to ensure the hole you drill in the bed is perfect without the need to measure. It instead uses the Center locator tool that allows you to drill from the bottom up for a perfect fit. The regular Double Lock system simply requires measuring and then you drill from the top down. If you are good with a tape measure,... view full answer...
The Curt EZr Double Lock Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Installation Kit # C60683 for your 2011 F-350 will absolutely work with the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2703. This will be a really nice combination to give you towing and load leveling support. This air spring kit comes with the manual inflation valves.
You may want to consider adding the Firestone Air Command I - Analog Gauge w/ Heavy-Duty Compressor - Single Path - 150 psi # F2097... view full answer...
It looks like you have either the Curt Double Lock, Flip and Store Underbed Gooseneck Hitch part # C60720 or the Curt EZr Double Lock Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # C60683 installed on your 2016 Ford F-250. If that is the case then I have great news for you as there is an adapter available that allows you to use a sliding 5th wheel hitch, the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter part # C16210 for Double Lock or part # C16220 for EZr.
The Curt X5 Adapter will then allow you to... view full answer...
The Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Trailer Hitches - 20,000 lbs # C16210 is only designed for the Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch that has the dual pins to latch the hitch ball in place. If you don't have the Double Lock model like # C60720 then that adapter isn't the correct fit and may have issues. Small rotation if not directly tested together could cause issues but some "play" in adapters is also to be expected so I can't confirm if the amount... view full answer...
