Correct Location for Gooseneck Hitch Ball Hole In a 2013 Ford F-150 Truck Bed
Question:
2013 F-150 6 1/2 bed. For the instructions on where to drill the 4 inch hole, there are only instructions for a 6 foot bed and an 8 foot bed. It doesn’t say for a 6 1/2 foot bed.

Expert Reply:
When installing the Curt Double Lock, Flip and Store Underbed Gooseneck Hitch # C60721 on your short bed 2013 Ford F-150 you're going to measure 45-3/8" from the end of your truck bed and mark that spot (be sure to make sure the mark is in the middle of the bed as well).
The diagram you're referring to in the instructions is just an example and it highlights to not use those dimensions for drilling.
One other thing I recommend checking out if you haven't already is an in-bed 7-Way trailer wiring connector like part # PK11893-11932 so it's easier to connect your trailer wiring.
