A CURT gooseneck hitch is more than a necessary tool for towing; it is an integrated extension of your truck that allows you turn your 4×4 into the workhorse it was designed to be. Gooseneck hitches are stronger, tougher and more subtle than any other, and when quality craftsmanship and intelligent design become the fuel that drives a gooseneck hitch, you get a towing solution that leaves others lost for words. The CURT under-bed Double Lock gooseneck hitch is strong, fast and easy to operate. It gets its name from the two locking pins that engage the trailer ball and hold it in place, giving you twice the security when towing especially heavy trailers. The Double Lock mounts underneath your truck bed with compatible gooseneck installation brackets and provides a removable 2-5/16″ gooseneck trailer ball with a gross trailer weight capacity up to 30,000 lbs. and a tongue weight capacity of 7,500 lbs. Using the heavy-duty operating handle, the trailer ball can be unlocked and flipped over whenever necessary to allow full use of the truck bed. The Double Lock comes with solid safety chain hookups, an attractive chrome trim ring, a durable A-coat finish and a limited lifetime warranty. This particular Double Lock gooseneck hitch is design to fit several models of Chevrolet, GMC, Dodge, Ram, Ford and Toyota (for a complete listing of vehicle and installation bracket compatibility, see application info).

Product Features:

• Double locking pins for superior trailer and trailer ball security
• Flip-and-store ball keeps truck bed free of obstructions
• Removable chrome-plated 2-5/16″ trailer ball fits most gooseneck trailers
• Installation requires no welding or truck bed removal
• Heavy-duty handle can be positioned on either side of the vehicle
• Chrome-plated trim ring provides a finished look
• Rubber hole cover helps prevent corrosion in trailer ball hole
• Includes spring-loaded safety chain loops and grade-8 hardware
• Protected by a durable A-coat finish

Like trailer hitches and ball mounts, electrical connectors range all over the board in shape, size and capability, but no matter what your trailer’s electrical functions are, you need a solid connection to keep the power flowing and ensure safety on the road. CURT electrical connectors are designed and manufactured to give you a reliable connection every time you plug in your trailer. This 7-way RV blade connector is designed to plug into a USCAR socket and supply power for tail lights, turn signals, electric trailer brakes, a 12-volt battery, reverse lights and brake lights, as well as a ground connection. It is intended to be a replacement trailer wiring connector, plugging into a standard USCAR socket (see application info to verify fitment with your vehicle). It features rust-free black plastic construction and comes with a spring-loaded cover to keep out dust and water. This 7-way RV blade connector is a female-end socket, specifically designed for the vehicle side of the connection (see application info to verify fitment with your vehicle).

Product Features:

• Weather-resistant dust cover features a rubber insert to seal out moisture
• Spring-loaded cover also helps keep connector clean when not in use
• Plugs into USCAR socket to provide 7-way RV blade trailer wiring connector
• Simple plug-and-play design eliminates the need for cutting or splicing
• 7-way connects tail, brake, reverse, turn signals, brakes and auxiliary power

A CURT custom wiring connector (sometimes called a T-connector) is a simple, plug-and-play electrical device that eliminates the need for cutting, splicing and 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 wiring connectors come into play. A custom wiring connector uses a single original equipment plug to plug into a special socket provided by your vehicle. Though this option is not available on every vehicle, some automotive manufacturers design their vehicles to be easily equipped for towing by supplying a socket, integrated into the vehicle’s electrical system, to readily accept a custom wiring connector. With a CURT custom wiring connector, there is no need to tap into the taillight assembly because a special socket is already provided. This custom wiring connector provides a 4-way flat connector socket and is designed to be a custom wiring option for a variety of vehicles (see application info to verify fitment with your vehicle). CURT custom wiring connectors are designed to be long-lasting and simple to install. They come with dust covers to keep your connector clean when not in use.

Product Features:

• Plugs into USCAR socket to provide 4-way flat trailer wiring connector
• Simple plug-and-play design eliminates the need for cutting or splicing
• 4-way flat output connects tail lights, brake lights and turn signals
• Dust cover included to keep connector clean when not in use
• Slit loom keeps wires contained and well protected
• Backed by a limited one-year warranty

Stress is the last thing you should feel when towing a trailer — whether you’re hauling your RV to that favorite camping destination, your ATVs up to the hunting grounds or your fishing boat to the new hidden hotspot. At CURT, we think your towing equipment should add to the enjoyment of your experience, not detract from it. CURT custom wiring connectors are the easiest way to outfit your vehicle with a CURT trailer wiring connection. They are built with some of the most advanced technology in the industry, and each one is custom-fitted to work with a specific make and model. Some automotive manufacturers install a special socket on the vehicle to be used for vehicle-to-trailer wiring. Though this special socket is not equipped on every vehicle, a CURT custom wiring connector (also called a T-connector) utilizes the socket for simple, stress-free installation. Rather than requiring you to cut, splice and solder into your vehicle’s wiring system, the custom wiring connector uses a single OEM-compatible plug and instantly provides a standard vehicle-to-trailer wiring connection, typically in the form a 4-way flat. All CURT custom wiring connectors are made vehicle-specific for the easiest possible installation and the best fit. This particular connector provides a 4-way flat socket while retaining use of the existing OEM socket. It is designed to be a custom wiring option for a variety of vehicles (see application info to verify fitment with your vehicle). It comes with a dust cover to keep the connector socket clean when not in use.

Product Features:

• Plugs into USCAR connection to add 4-way flat and retain use of existing socket
• Simple plug-and-play design eliminates the need for cutting or splicing
• 4-way flat output connects tail lights, brake lights and turn signals
• Dust cover included to keep connector clean when not in use
• Slit loom keeps wires contained and well protected

There is nothing like the luxury and power that go along with heavy-duty towing. 5th wheel RVs offer a deluxe, home-away-from-home experience unlike any other, while gooseneck trailers possess a strength that far surpasses most other trailer options. As with any trailer, however, 5th wheels and goosenecks must be equipped with the proper lighting and electrical systems, and tend to require even more complex connectors than a standard receiver-type trailer setup. Make things simple with a CURT 5th wheel / gooseneck extension harness. These wiring harnesses are designed to put an extra connector socket in the bed of your pickup truck while still retaining power to the rear connector socket mounted on your bumper. This is done by plugging into the back of the existing original equipment (OEM) harness and routing through the body of the truck to a hole in the truck bed, providing a connector that is ready to accommodate your 5th wheel or gooseneck trailer. This CURT extension harness is designed to work with 7-way RV blade connectors and comes in a length of 10′. It is compatible with certain models of Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, GMC, Nissan, Ram and Toyota (see application to verify fitment). When you need a towing electrical solution that allows you to switch back and forth between your receiver hitch and specialized trailer hitch, CURT gets you plugged in.

Product Features:

• Routes a 7-way RV blade socket into truck bed while retaining use of rear socket
• Simple plug-and-play design eliminates the need for cutting or splicing
• Allows for easy connection of 5th wheel or gooseneck wiring
• 7-way connects tail, brake, reverse, turn signals, brakes and auxiliary power
• 10′ extension with right-angle plug for easy installation
• Spring-loaded dust cover keeps connector clean when not in use
• Slit loom keeps wires contained and well protected
