The Blue Ox DH2400 Gooseneck Trailer Hitch, also known as the Diamond Hitch, is a high-capacity towing solution designed for heavy-duty applications. With a gross towing weight of 30,000 lbs. and a tongue weight capacity of 7,500 lbs., it's capable of handling everything from horses and livestock to race cars, antique cars, RVs, and supplies. Its under-bed mounting system keeps your truck bed completely usable when the hitch ball is in the inverted position. Installation is straightforward, requiring no removal of the truck bed and minimal drilling into the truck frame. The DH2400 comes complete with mounting bolts, brackets, instructions, and chain loops for a hassle-free setup. Moreover, it boasts a durable powder coat finish for added longevity. Notably, no drilling is required on Dodge hydraframe, making the installation even more convenient.
Blue Ox is known internationally for recreational and commercial towing products, manufacturing in Pender, Nebraska since 1925. The line covers tow bars and vehicle-specific baseplates for flat towing behind a motorhome, sway control and weight distributing hitches, supplemental braking accessories and towing wiring, backed by patented designs and long-standing customer service.
Blue Ox has manufactured since 1925 and is recognised internationally for towing products and customer service. The company operates from Pender, Nebraska, where it grew out of Automatic Manufacturing Co., a business that started with cattle oilers and developed into agricultural equipment, tractor accessories and trailer towing hardware. That agricultural engineering heritage still shows in how the towing products are built, and the company holds patents across weight distribution, fifth wheel and tow bar designs.
Flat towing is the discipline Blue Ox is best known for. Towing a car with all four wheels on the ground behind a motorhome demands a system that stays rigid under braking, articulates properly over uneven ground, and connects to the towed vehicle at points strong enough to take the load. Blue Ox tow bars handle the first two, with self-aligning arms that latch under tension and release without a struggle when the load is off them. Vehicle-specific baseplates handle the third, engineered per make and model to tie into structural mounting points behind the fascia.
The wider flat towing range covers supplemental braking systems, safety cables and the accessories that make a complete legal setup, along with baseplate wiring and dinghy towing harnesses that pass lighting signals to the towed vehicle without back-feeding its electrical system.
For conventional trailer towing, Blue Ox weight distributing hitches with integrated sway control transfer tongue load onto the tow vehicle's front axle and resist the yaw that crosswinds and passing trucks induce.
The company describes its foundation as customer service, designing around what owners actually ask for, and it runs an RV park adjacent to the factory where customers can stay. Sister operations at the same Nebraska site include Automatic grain roller mills and MAD-RAMPS pivoting ramp systems.

The Blue Ox Gooseneck Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch DH2400 (Part #FDRWDH2400) fits 2007-2017 Toyota Tundra models. The 2017 model year is the last year covered by this part number. For newer models, check for an updated version.
The Blue Ox Gooseneck Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch DH2400 (Part #FDRWDH2400) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The DH2400 is designed for 2007-17 Toyota Tundra with Long and Standard Box beds. The manual does not specify compatibility by cab style (CrewMax vs. standard cab) or drivetrain. Contact Blue Ox at (402) 385-3051 to confirm fitment for your specific Tundra configuration.
The DH2400 is rated for a maximum Gross Towing Weight of 30,000 lbs and a maximum Tongue Weight of 7,500 lbs. However, you must not exceed your vehicle's maximum towing capacity as stated in your Toyota Tundra owner's manual. Always refer to the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations—failure to do so could result in damage to your vehicle, personal injury or death.
Yes. The first step of installation is to remove the spare tire using the vehicle's jack handle tool, following your vehicle's owner's manual. The spare tire is reinstalled after the hitch installation is complete.
Yes. Installation requires drilling a 5-inch hole through the bed at 41-1/4 inches from the end of the bed (not the tailgate), centered between the wheel wells. Additionally, four holes must be drilled through the bed for the safety chain u-bolts. The manual recommends using a board while drilling to prevent bit wobbling and deburring the hole so the hitch sits tight against the bed. If a bed liner is installed, you must account for the bed liner thickness when measuring the ball location.
Required tools are: torque wrench, drill, tape measure, Loctite Red, 5-inch hole saw, 17/32-inch drill bit, 10MM socket, 3/4-inch socket, 3/4-inch wrench, 15/16-inch socket, 15/16-inch wrench, and 1-1/8-inch wrench (mentioned in Step 10). You will also need the vehicle's jack handle tool to remove the spare tire.
Before installation, you must remove: the spare tire, heat shield, wheel speed sensor line connector nut and bracket, fuel pump module (driver side), and rear exhaust hanger. On the passenger side, unclip the wiring loom from the frame and reposition it down inside the frame. On newer models, the evaporator canister may be temporarily removed to ease installation and is reinstalled after the center section is installed. All removed items except the evaporator canister are reinstalled after hitch installation.
The center section is installed between the cross members, aligned with the hole drilled in the bed. Corresponding hardware is installed into the center section and cross members but not fully tightened initially. Once all hardware is installed and the hitch is positioned correctly, all fasteners are tightened to the specified torque specs. Before final tightening, check that the top collar rotates freely and the bed is not rubbing against it; if necessary, drop the center section and remove any obstructions.
The manual provides general torque charts for Grade 5 and Grade 8 inch bolts, and Grade 8.8 and Grade 10.9 metric bolts. For example, 1/2-inch Grade 5 bolts are torqued to 78 ft-lbs, and 5/8-inch Grade 5 bolts to 154 ft-lbs. However, the manual does not specify which grade applies to each bolt location in the DH2400 assembly. All bolts must be treated with Loctite Red before tightening. Contact Blue Ox at (402) 385-3051 for specific torque values for individual fastener locations.
Lay the cross members flat and install one end up onto the top of the frame, then swing the other end in on the opposite frame. Slide the front cross member forward of the hole and the rear cross member to the rear of the hole. Using a 1-1/8-inch wrench, rotate the cross members up to their installation positions. Do not fully tighten hardware at this time.
Install the frame bracket into the inside of the frame between the cross members on both sides of the vehicle. Do not fully tighten hardware at this time. On the passenger side, ensure the bracket straddles the wiring loom so that it sits inside the frame cavity.
Drill four holes through the bed for the safety chain u-bolts. Install the u-bolts with the springs and washers as shown in the diagram. The manual provides the part numbers: 201-0275 (1/2-inch-13 x 3-3/4 inch x 2-1/2 inch U-Bolt, ZP, qty 2) and 222-0159 (Compression Spring, 0.85 inch diameter x 0.050 inch x 2 inches, qty 4).
After all fasteners are tightened to the specified torque specs, reinstall the exhaust to the factory hangers and the fuel pump module to its original location. If needed, use the supplied exhaust hangers to lower the exhaust for proper clearance. Reinstall the spare tire per the vehicle's owner's manual.
To install the hitch ball: (1) Rotate the locking collar to release the latch pawl. (2) Align the ball with the collar and drop the ball into the hitch. (3) Release the locking collar to lock the ball in place. The manual notes that the 2-5/16-inch ball cannot be turned over and stored in the socket due to clearance issues with the rear end housing.
To remove the hitch ball: (1) Rotate the locking collar to release the latch pawl. (2) Pull straight up on the ball to remove it from the hitch.
No. The 2-5/16-inch ball cannot be turned over and stored in the socket of the DH2400 due to clearance issues with the rear end housing. To store the ball in the hitch: (1) Rotate the locking collar to release the latch pawl. (2) Align the ball with the collar and drop the ball into the hitch. (3) Release the locking collar. A plug is included with the hitch that can be used to cover the socket when the ball is removed.
The maximum tongue weight is 7,500 lbs. Do not exceed this rating. Always load the trailer slightly tongue-heavy; do not pull a trailer that is lighter on the tongue end.
Yes. Trailer brakes are required when using the DH2400.
If the hitch is in an accident, it must be replaced. Do not use it again. An accident can cause unseen damage, and using it again could result in more damage or serious injury. Do not use the hitch if it is damaged or missing parts.
Periodically clean any dirt and debris from the ball and ball housing. Moderately lubricate them with white lithium grease or equivalent grease.
When using power drills, be aware of the dangers of torque and drill bit length. Using a board while drilling decreases chances of the bit wobbling out of position. It is also recommended to deburr the hole so the hitch will sit tight against the bed. After drilling, use a good quality paint to spray cut edges of the frame to prevent rusting.
Vehicle must be securely blocked and brakes set before beginning to work underneath the vehicle. Do not use any open flame under the truck bed to cut or weld—there is extreme danger of explosion or fire. Do not clamp the hitch over any wiring or brake lines.
When inverting the ball, ensure proper clearance between the ball and the truck's differential and drive line. Failure to do so may result in damage. A plug is included with the hitch that can be used for covering the socket when the ball is removed.
When a bed liner is installed, compensation of the bed liner thickness must be accounted for when measuring the ball location in the box bed. Measure the bed liner thickness and add it to the standard measurement of 41-1/4 inches from the end of the bed to determine the correct hole location.
The DH2400 includes: 2 side plates (DS and PS), 1 hitch ball (2-5/16 inch), 2 exhaust hangers, 1 center section, 2 cross members, 4 bolts (1/2-inch-13 x 1-1/2 inch, Grade 5), 8 bolts (1/2-inch-13 x 1-3/4 inch, Grade 5), 2 u-bolts (1/2-inch-13 x 3-3/4 inch x 2-1/2 inch), 4 bolts (5/8-inch-11 x 1-1/2 inch, Grade 5), 4 hex whiz lock nuts (5/8-inch-11), 4 hex nylon lock nuts (1/2-inch-13), 20 flat washers (1/2 inch), 4 flat washers (5/8 inch), 12 lock washers (1/2 inch), 4 compression springs (0.85 inch diameter x 0.050 inch x 2 inches), 1 hitch cover, and 1 plug for the socket.
No. Use only genuine factory replacement parts on your hitch. Do not substitute homemade or non-typical parts. If a bolt is lost or needs replacement, use a replacement bolt of the same grade (in most cases Grade 5). Replacement parts may be ordered through your nearest Blue Ox Dealer or Distributor. Failing to use correct replacement parts will void the manufacturer's warranty.
Measure and mark a hole at 41-1/4 inches from the end of the bed (not the tailgate) and centered between the wheel wells. Drill a 5-inch hole through the bed. If a bed liner is installed, you must account for the bed liner thickness when measuring the ball location.
The DH2400 is designed for 2007-17 Toyota Tundra with Long and Standard Box beds. For specific fitment confirmation including cab style, contact Blue Ox at (402) 385-3051.
The DH2400 is rated for 30,000 lbs Gross Towing Weight and 7,500 lbs Tongue Weight. Always verify your vehicle's maximum towing capacity in your owner's manual and do not exceed it.
Required tools: torque wrench, drill, tape measure, Loctite Red, 5-inch hole saw, 17/32-inch drill bit, 10MM socket, 3/4-inch socket, 3/4-inch wrench, 15/16-inch socket, 15/16-inch wrench, and 1-1/8-inch wrench.
Yes. Remove the spare tire, heat shield, wheel speed sensor line connector, fuel pump module, and rear exhaust hanger. Unclip and reposition the wiring loom on the passenger side. Temporarily remove the evaporator canister on newer models if needed.
Periodically clean dirt and debris from the ball and ball housing. Lubricate moderately with white lithium grease or equivalent.
If the hitch is damaged or involved in an accident, it must be replaced. Do not reuse it, as accidents can cause unseen damage that could result in serious injury or failure.
Check the rotation of the top collar to ensure the bed is not rubbing against it and it can rotate freely. If the bed is rubbing, drop the center section and remove any obstructions. Reposition the center section and recheck clearance before final tightening of all fasteners.
Ensure you are following the correct installation procedure: (1) Rotate the locking collar to release the latch pawl. (2) Align the ball with the collar and drop the ball into the hitch. (3) Release the locking collar to lock the ball in place. If the ball still does not lock, the locking collar or latch pawl may be damaged. Do not use the hitch if it is damaged or missing parts. Contact Blue Ox at (402) 385-3051 for assistance.
The dimensional variations between otherwise identical vehicles can be considerable. While the hitch was designed for easy installation, it may be necessary to modify the hitch slightly to compensate for vehicle manufacturer's tolerances. Do not fully tighten hardware until the hitch is positioned correctly and aligned with the bed hole. Once properly positioned, tighten all fasteners to the specified torque specs. If alignment cannot be achieved, contact Blue Ox at (402) 385-3051 for technical assistance.
