Ingenious design and reliability -- these words don't just describe the Ford Super Duty; they were the inspiration for the CURT OEM-style gooseneck hitch for Ford. This hitch is built to excel in two key things: ease of installation that comes from an ingenious design and safe, reliable towing even with heavy-duty gooseneck trailers. The Ford-compatible gooseneck hitch boasts a one-person installation. It is built with fewer pieces than competitor hitches to keep installation simple, and the pieces are designed to be compact so they can be lifted and bolted into place without the help of a second person. We've also eliminated a number of steps from the process to speed up installation time and reduce the number of modifications needed on the vehicle. The hitch does not require the exhaust or spare tire to be lowered. It requires no welding, temporary truck bed removal or even bed flange trimming. Best of all, pre-existing factory holes are used to mount the hitch to the truck's frame, meaning the only drilling necessary is for the gooseneck ball hole and safety chains in the truck bed. Once installed, the OEM-style gooseneck hitch for Ford offers simple operation and highly secure towing. It is tested in accordance with SAE J2638 to safely tow up to 38,000 lbs. GTW. Instead of a side handle mounted under the wheel well, it uses a latch-locking trailer ball. This patented 2-5/16" ball easily drops into the gooseneck head from above the truck bed and is secured in place with a simple quarter-turn of the latch. This Ford Super Duty gooseneck hitch also features heavy-duty 5/8" safety chain anchors for dependable security for your trailer, whether you're towing livestock, machinery or construction materials. To ensure maximum quality, the CURT OEM-style gooseneck hitch for Ford comes with a tough A-coat finish to easily resist rust and scratches.

The CURT 60702 Factory Original Equipment Style Gooseneck Hitch, 38,000 lbs. 2-5/16-Inch Ball, Fits Select Ford F-250, F-350, F-450 Super Duty (Part #BKDK60702) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, the 60702 subkit is designed for Ford SuperDuty trucks from both model generations. However, the installation differs between them. For 2022 and older models, frame attachment plates are installed to the frame from underneath. For 2023 and newer models, the kit uses inner mounting plates that are welded to the vehicle frame rails, and the installation uses longer 9/16" hex bolts with CM-SP52 spacers instead of the standard spacers used on older models.
Yes, the 60702 is compatible with two-wheel drive SuperDuty trucks. However, a clearance check must be performed both when the truck is loaded and unloaded to verify that the inverted ball will not interfere with the top of the differential. This is a critical safety check before towing.
Yes, the 60702 can be installed on short bed models. However, you must check for adequate turning clearance between the front of all trailers and the truck cab before towing. The manual provides a clearance calculation method on page 5 to verify that your specific trailer will not interfere with the cab during turns.
The 60702 subkit includes the 60610 center section and 60646 frame attachment plates. The 60610 center section includes a gooseneck ball (refer to part 60629 for installation and operation), a rubber plug (66155) to insert into the gooseneck when not in use, and all required fasteners and hardware listed in the hardware list. The subkit weighs 150 lbs.
Required tools are: ratchet, torque wrench, 18 inches of socket extensions, 13/16" and 15/16" sockets, drill, 3/16" and 11/16" drill bits, 3 1/4" hole saw, cutting fluid, rust inhibitor, and ear and eye protection.
Removing the spare tire may aid in installation but is not required. If you choose not to remove it, the 60610 center section can be raised between the drive shaft and the exhaust on the passenger side of the vehicle in front of the rear axle.
The installation sequence is: (1) optionally remove spare tire, (2) loosely install frame attachment plates to the frame from underneath, (3) place carriage bolts in center attachment plates and secure with bolt retainer clips, then loosely install center attachment plates with hex bolts, conical lock washers and spacers, (4) raise the 60610 center section and position it, (5) align carriage bolts with rectangular holes and loosely install hex flange nuts, (6) push center section up to truck bed and install remaining carriage bolts and nuts, (7) torque all fasteners to specification, (8) drill the center locator guide hole and main gooseneck hole through the bed, (9) drill four holes for safety chains, (10) install safety chain U-bolt assemblies, (11) reinstall spare tire if removed.
Yes, drilling is required. The 60610 center section requires no frame drilling, but you must drill through the truck bed in three locations: (1) a 3/16" pilot hole through the center locator guide from below the bed, then a 3 1/4" hole through the bed using a hole saw, and (2) four 11/16" holes through the heat shield and truck bed for safety chains. A pilot hole prior to the 11/16" holes will ease this process. All holes must be deburred and exposed metal sprayed with rust inhibitor.
Yes, all models require modification or removal of heat shields. The manual does not specify the exact procedure, but heat shield work is necessary to accommodate the gooseneck installation and to drill the four 11/16" holes for safety chains through the heat shield and truck bed.
Torque all 9/16" fasteners (hex bolts, conical lock washers and spacers) to 150 lbs.-ft. Torque all 5/8" fasteners (carriage bolts and hex flange nuts) to 212 lbs.-ft. These torque values apply after all fasteners are loosely installed and the center section is properly positioned and aligned.
The 60610 center section should be raised between the drive shaft and the exhaust on the passenger side of the vehicle in front of the rear axle. It should be slid toward the center of the vehicle to allow the vertical 5/8" carriage bolt to align properly with the center section, then slid back over the fuel tank so that the fuel tank bracket straddles the assembly. The notched corner of the center section must be positioned over the fuel tank. The gooseneck cylinder should be centered on the vehicle as close as possible.
The center locator is inserted into the gooseneck cylinder prior to raising the center section into position. It serves as a guide for drilling the main gooseneck hole through the truck bed. After installation, a 3/16" pilot hole is drilled through the center locator guide from below the bed, then a 3 1/4" hole is drilled through the bed using a hole saw.
The CM-UE1 rubber edge trim is installed around the edge of the 3 1/4" hole cut through the truck bed. It is trimmed to length and protects the cut edge from rust and provides a finished appearance.
The safety chain U-bolt assemblies should be installed as shown in FIGURE 3. They must sit flat when in the lower position and slide easily without binding. Holes should be enlarged as needed for proper operation. The nuts should be tightened until flush with the bottom of the U-bolt. All holes must be deburred and exposed metal sprayed with rust inhibitor.
Yes, there are differences. For 2022 and older models, frame attachment plates (items A, B, C, D) are loosely installed to the frame from underneath, and standard CM-SP52 spacers are used with 9/16" hex bolts. For 2023 and newer models with welded inner frame attachment plates, the installation uses longer 9/16" hex bolts with CM-SP52 spacers as shown in FIGURE 4. The center attachment plates (items E, F, G, H) are positioned differently based on the model year.
Before towing the first time, verify: (1) adequate turning clearance between the truck cab/box corners and trailer(s) using the clearance calculation method provided, (2) minimum 6 inches clearance between the bottom of the trailer overhang and the top of the box sides, (3) all hardware is torqued to proper specification (9/16" fasteners to 150 lbs.-ft., 5/8" fasteners to 212 lbs.-ft.), (4) trailer safety chain length has only enough slack to allow full turning without interference, and (5) trailer attachments to safety chain loops are secure and cannot be shaken free.
The manual provides a clearance calculation on page 5. Measure: (X) the distance from cab to ball center, (Y) half the trailer width, and (W) any coupler overhang. For a standard trailer, calculate X minus Y equals Z. For a trailer with overhang, calculate (X minus W) minus Y equals Z. If Z is positive, the trailer will not interfere with the cab. If Z is negative, the trailer will interfere and you must not tow or must remove rear window accessories.
Keep the gooseneck ball, receiver, and trailer coupler lubricated regularly using silicone spray or equivalent to prevent wear and rust. Keep all components free of dirt and other foreign debris. Before every towing, ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. Periodically check the hitch to ensure all fasteners remain tight and all structural components are sound. Failure to maintain the towing system could result in poor performance and/or catastrophic failure.
Do not exceed the vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. The manual does not specify a maximum weight for the hitch itself, but emphasizes that you must not exceed the vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing weight and that the trailer weight must not exceed any part of the towing system.
Vehicle performance (braking, handling, acceleration, turning radius) can be drastically affected by the trailer; allow additional time and space for stopping, changing lanes, passing and turning. Do not tow more than one trailer at a time, as this may cause loss of control. Severe bumps can damage the towing system; avoid or drive slowly over rough terrain. Do not tow a trailer with worn or damaged parts. Never load the trailer heavier behind the trailer axle(s). Ensure the load is heavier towards the front of the trailer while not exceeding the hitch tongue weight.
Brake, fuel, and electrical lines may need to be loosened or repositioned to provide clearance for new hardware. The manual does not specify which lines or the exact procedure, but this work should be performed as part of the installation preparation.
Yes, the 60702 fits Ford SuperDuty trucks from 2022 and older and 2023 and newer models. Installation differs between model years due to frame design changes.
You need a ratchet, torque wrench, 18 inches of socket extensions, 13/16" and 15/16" sockets, drill with 3/16", 11/16" and 3 1/4" hole saw bits, cutting fluid, rust inhibitor, and ear and eye protection.
Yes, drilling is required through the truck bed: one 3/16" pilot hole and one 3 1/4" hole for the gooseneck, and four 11/16" holes for safety chains. All models require heat shield modification or removal.
Torque all 9/16" fasteners to 150 lbs.-ft. and all 5/8" fasteners to 212 lbs.-ft.
Do not exceed the vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. The hitch itself has no stated maximum; the limit is set by your truck's manufacturer.
Verify turning clearance between cab and trailer, 6 inches minimum clearance between trailer overhang and box top, all fasteners are torqued to specification, safety chain length is correct, and trailer attachments to chains are secure.
Lubricate the gooseneck ball, receiver, and coupler regularly with silicone spray. Keep all components clean and free of debris. Check all fasteners and structural components before every tow.
Enlarge the holes as needed for proper operation. The U-bolt assemblies must sit flat when in the lower position and slide easily without binding. If enlargement is needed, deburr the enlarged holes and spray exposed metal with rust inhibitor to prevent corrosion.
If the clearance calculation on page 5 shows a negative Z value, your trailer will interfere with the cab. You must not tow with this configuration. Removal of rear window accessories may be required to increase clearance, or you may need to use a different trailer with a narrower coupler or less overhang. Recalculate using the clearance formula to verify adequate clearance before towing.
There should be a minimum clearance of 6 inches between the bottom of the trailer overhang and the top of the box sides. Measure this clearance before towing for the first time. If clearance is less than 6 inches, the trailer may contact the box during towing or turning.
Tighten all loose fasteners immediately. Torque 9/16" fasteners to 150 lbs.-ft. and 5/8" fasteners to 212 lbs.-ft. Do not tow the trailer until all fasteners are properly torqued. Periodically check all fasteners to ensure they remain tight, as vibration during towing can loosen them over time.
This is a critical safety issue. 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. If interference is confirmed, do not tow. Contact CURT Manufacturing technical support at 1-800-798-0813 for assistance with this fitment issue.
