Choosing the right gooseneck hitch is only half the battle in preparing your pickup truck for towing a gooseneck trailer. CURT gooseneck hitches are a premium option in the heavy-duty towing industry, but they are only one of the members in the heavyweight tag team that is CURT gooseneck towing. While a gooseneck hitch gets all the glory above the floor of your truck bed, gooseneck installation brackets provide sure footing and a solid foundation for that oversized gooseneck trailer. Gooseneck installation brackets work by bolting onto the frame of your truck, typically using pre-existing holes. With a set of brackets firmly bolted on, a gooseneck hitch is able to be attached and is given the strength it needs to manage the massive amount of weight of a gooseneck trailer. With so many gooseneck hitch options available from CURT, we wanted to make sure we offered the gooseneck installation products needed to give you a complete towing package. Our installation brackets fit multiple vehicles and hitch heads. This particular set of gooseneck installation brackets is able to work with CURT Double Lock, Quick Goose II and under-bed folding ball gooseneck hitches. It is rated to the vehicle's maximum gross trailer weight capacity and provides a custom fit for certain years of the Ford F150 (see application info to verify fitment). With each set of CURT gooseneck installation brackets, we provide the necessary hardware for an easier installation, and we coat our gooseneck brackets in a liquid A-coat to make sure rust and other potential damages are not a problem.

The CURT 60641 Under-Bed Gooseneck Installation Brackets, Fits Select Ford F-150 (Part #BKDK60641) fits 2004-2014 Ford F-150 models. The 2014 model year is the last year covered by this part number. For newer models, check for an updated version.
The CURT 60641 Under-Bed Gooseneck Installation Brackets, Fits Select Ford F-150 (Part #BKDK60641) fits the following vehicles: 2004-2014 Ford F-150. Always verify your specific year, make, and model before ordering.
The CURT 60641 Under-Bed Gooseneck Installation Brackets, Fits Select Ford F-150 (Part #BKDK60641) Drilling is not required for installation. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The Curt 60641 is designed for 2004–2014 Ford 1/2 ton trucks with new body style only, in both long and short bed configurations. It will not fit other Ford body styles, model years, or tonnage ratings. Verify your truck's model year, body style, and bed length before purchasing.
Yes, the 60641 is approved for both short and long bed 2004–2014 Ford 1/2 ton trucks. However, on short bed models you must check for adequate turning clearance between the front of all trailers and the truck cab before use. Use the clearance calculation formula provided in the manual to verify your specific trailer will not interfere with the cab.
Yes, the 60641 can be installed on two-wheel drive trucks. However, a clearance check must be performed when the truck is both loaded and unloaded to verify the inverted ball will not interfere with the top of the differential. This check is critical before towing.
The kit includes: 2× 1/2-13 × 1 1/4 × 2 1/2 × 3/4 SQ U-bolts (CM-1203-UBS), 16× 1/2-13 UNC grade 8 serrated flange nuts, 8× 1/2-13 UNC 1-1/2 grade 8 carriage bolts, 2× 1/2-13 UNC 1-1/2 grade 8 hex cap screws, 2× 1/2 flat washers, and 2× 1/2-13 U-bolt bushings (60641-UB). The kit also includes the 60641 subkit, which contains the center section, cross arms, and sideplates.
Required tools include a 4-inch hole saw (or 3 5/8-inch for C-630/C-640 models) or a saber saw with metal cutting blade, a tape measure, a socket wrench set for 1/2-inch fasteners, and a torque wrench capable of 110 ft-lbs. An overhead lifting device such as a chain fall, engine hoist, or cable come-a-long is recommended to lift the center section into place. A drill is needed to create the truck bed floor hole.
Yes. The first installation step is to lower and remove the spare tire. This must be done before proceeding with any other installation steps.
Yes. All models require modification or removal of heat shields. The manual does not specify the exact procedure, so consult the manufacturer or an experienced installer for guidance on which heat shields must be modified and how.
Possibly. The manual warns that brake, fuel, and electrical lines may need to be loosened or repositioned to provide clearance for new hardware. Inspect your truck carefully during installation and reposition any lines that interfere with the hitch components. Do not cut or damage any lines.
Measure 45 3/8 inches from the tail gate end of the truck bed (hook the tape measure over the back of the truck box; do not measure from the edge of the tailgate). Mark the center point between the wheel wells. This location is critical and will position the ball 4–6 inches in front of the axle. Measure, mark, and cut carefully. If your truck has a plastic bed liner, you may drill through both, but it is more difficult to keep the liner from moving while cutting.
Make a 4-inch hole using a 4-inch hole saw, or by marking a 4-inch circle and cutting it out with a saber saw equipped with a metal cutting blade. Note: For C-630/C-640 models, use a 3 5/8-inch hole instead.
Slide the front cross arm between the truck bed and truck frame on the passenger side in an inverted V position with the holes of the arm towards the rear of the truck. Slide through until the cross arm spans the truck frame, then push the cross arm towards the front of the truck.
Repeat the cross arm installation procedure for the rear cross arm, making sure to position the holes in the angle iron towards the front of the truck. After spanning the frame, slide the cross arm towards the rear of the truck.
Raise the center section in position between the cross arms with the ball cylinder towards the rear of the truck. The round hitch receiver that protrudes from the top of the center section must fit through the hole in the truck bed. An overhead lifting device such as a chain fall, engine hoist, or cable come-a-long can be used to lift the center section into place by looping rope or chain through the hole in the truck bed floor and attaching it to the round hitch receiver tube. Maintaining upward pressure may facilitate fastening the crossmember to the center section, especially if the truck bed floor has been distorted downward from heavy use. Disconnect the lifting device before squaring the center section across the frame, installing the sideplates, and torquing fasteners.
Using 8× 1/2-inch carriage bolts and flange nuts, attach the center section to the square holes in both cross arms. Install these fasteners finger tight only at this stage; do not torque them until step 7.
Square the center section and cross arms across the frame. Hang the sideplates from the 1/2-inch studs extending from the rear cross arm and fasten them with 1/2-inch flange nuts finger tight only. Next, bolt the front flange of each sideplate to the front cross arm using a 1/2-inch × 1 1/2-inch hex bolt, 1/2-inch washer, and 1/2-inch flange nut. The two holes at the front of each sideplate should now be aligned with two holes in the frame behind the shock and shock mount.
Use the 2-inch U-bolt with one flange nut placed loosely to one end of the U-bolt. Place the opposite end into the smaller hole at the front of the sideplate and twist through the frame until the threaded end protrudes out the other hole of the sideplate. Place the U-bolt bushing over the U-bolt and into the hole of the sideplate and frame, making sure to penetrate the frame with the bushing so the sideplate rests flat against the frame. Attach a 1/2-inch flange nut and leave finger tight only at this stage.
Torque all 1/2-inch fasteners to 110 ft-lbs, including the U-bolt flange nuts and all carriage bolts. Torque in the following order: first, torque the U-bolts to the sideplates and frame; second, torque the 8 carriage bolts from the cross arms to the center section; third, torque the sideplates to the front and rear cross arms.
The manual does not specify a towing capacity. You must not exceed the vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity for your 2004–2014 Ford 1/2 ton truck. Consult your vehicle's owner manual or the manufacturer for the correct towing weight limit.
Use the clearance calculation formula: (cab to ball center) − 1/2 (trailer width) = (minimum clearance). If there is an overhang from the coupler, use: [(cab to ball center) − (coupler overhang)] − 1/2 (trailer width) = (minimum clearance). If the result is positive, the trailer will not interfere with the cab. If negative, the trailer will interfere. The manual provides example calculations and a worksheet to complete your own calculation. Generally, 8-foot-wide trailers taper to 6 feet at the coupler, and 7-foot-wide trailers taper to 5 feet at the coupler.
Removal of rear window accessories may be required. Inspect your truck during installation to determine if any rear window accessories interfere with the hitch components or the inverted ball position.
Maintenance is required every 30 days or prior to use: (1) keep the hitch ball lubricated regularly using silicone spray or equivalent to prevent wear and rust; (2) keep the hitch assembly free of dirt and other foreign debris; (3) check for proper torque on all nuts and bolts before each use and check for excessive wear; (4) check for ball wear before each use. Do not tow a trailer with worn or damaged parts.
After installation, verify that all fasteners have been torqued to 110 ft-lbs in the correct sequence (U-bolts first, then carriage bolts, then sideplate fasteners). Check that the center section is squared across the frame and that the sideplates rest flat against the frame. Verify that the round hitch receiver protrudes correctly through the truck bed hole. On two-wheel drive trucks, perform a clearance check when the truck is both loaded and unloaded to ensure the inverted ball does not interfere with the differential. On short bed trucks, verify adequate turning clearance between the front of your trailer and the truck cab using the clearance calculation formula.
The 60641 fits 2004–2014 Ford 1/2 ton trucks with new body style only, in both long and short beds. Verify your model year and body style before purchasing.
You need a 4-inch hole saw (or saber saw with metal blade), tape measure, socket wrench set, torque wrench (110 ft-lbs), and an overhead lifting device (chain fall, engine hoist, or come-a-long). A drill is required to create the truck bed hole.
Yes. You must drill a 4-inch hole in the truck bed floor at 45 3/8 inches from the tailgate end, centered between the wheel wells. This hole is critical for correct installation.
Yes. The spare tire must be lowered and removed before installation begins.
All 1/2-inch fasteners, including U-bolt flange nuts and carriage bolts, must be torqued to 110 ft-lbs. Torque in order: U-bolts first, then carriage bolts, then sideplate fasteners.
Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. Consult your truck's owner manual for the correct limit.
Maintenance is required every 30 days or prior to use: lubricate the ball with silicone spray, keep the assembly clean, check all fastener torque, and inspect the ball for wear.
