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 certain CURT Double Lock 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 gooseneck installation bracket sub kit, 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.

Yes, the CURT Double Lock Gooseneck Installation Brackets, Select Ford F-150 Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Mount Kit (Part #BKDK60649) is designed to fit the 2015-2023 Ford F-150.
The CURT Double Lock Gooseneck Installation Brackets, Select Ford F-150 Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Mount Kit (Part #BKDK60649) fits the following vehicles: 2015-2023 Ford F-150. Always verify your specific year, make, and model before ordering.
The CURT Double Lock Gooseneck Installation Brackets, Select Ford F-150 Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Mount Kit (Part #BKDK60649) fits 2015-2023 Ford F-150 models. The 2023 model year is the last year covered by this part number. For newer models, check for an updated version.
The CURT Double Lock Gooseneck Installation Brackets, Select Ford F-150 Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Mount Kit (Part #BKDK60649) Drilling is not required for installation. Typical installation time is . Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The 60649 subkit is designed for Ford F-150 trucks with short bed, standard bed, and long bed configurations. However, the hitch ball location varies by bed length: 5.5', 6.5', and 8' beds all position the ball cylinder at 43.5" from the tailgate. The subkit is designed for use with the 60607 Center Section (sold separately) and requires the 60910 galvanic isolator on aluminum bed trucks. Consult the fitment database or Curt Manufacturing to confirm your specific F-150 model year and bed type are compatible.
The parts list shows the 60910 galvanic isolator as a component of the 60649 subkit (Item E, Qty 1). However, the manual states it is required only on vehicles with an aluminum bed. If your F-150 has an aluminum bed, the isolator will be included and must be used to isolate the gooseneck center section from the aluminum to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Yes, the 60649 subkit can be installed on trucks with spray-on bed liners. When measuring the location of the center hole in the bed, add 1/8" to 3/16" to account for the liner thickness. This ensures the center ring of the gooseneck protrudes through the bed floor correctly.
Yes, you can drill through a plastic bed liner, but the manual notes this is more difficult. You may find it challenging to accurately locate the midpoint between the wheel wells and to keep the bed liner from moving while cutting the hole. Alternatively, you can remove the liner before drilling and reinstall it afterward.
No drilling into the frame is required. However, the installation does require trimming of the driver side wheel well (approximately 1 1/4" and 5/8" as shown in Figure A) to allow the cross arm to fit and the handle to operate. Heat shield modification or removal is required on all models. Brake, fuel, and electrical lines may need to be loosened or repositioned for clearance.
The manual does not specify all required tools. However, it indicates you will need: a tape measure, a 4-inch hole saw or saber saw with metal cutting blade (to cut the bed hole), a wrench or socket set (for 5/8" and 1/2" fasteners), and a torque wrench (to torque fasteners to 210 ft-lbs and 110 ft-lbs). A lifting device such as an engine hoist or cable come-a-long is recommended to raise the center section into position. Curt Part # 60606 (Gooseneck Install Tool) is also recommended for ease of installation.
A lifting device is recommended but not explicitly stated as required. The manual recommends using Curt Part # 60606 (Gooseneck Install Tool) or a lifting device such as an engine hoist or cable come-a-long to lift the center section of the hitch into place. This is described as especially helpful if the truck bed has been distorted downward from heavy use. The lifting device allows you to raise the gooseneck so the center ring protrudes through the bed floor and eases attachment of the gooseneck center section to the crossarms.
Measure from the tailgate end of the truck bed using a tape measure hooked over the back of the truck box. The ball cylinder measurement is 43.5" from the tailgate for 5.5', 6.5', and 8' beds. Next, mark the center between the wheel wells. This marks the center point for the drill hole. Do not measure from the edge of the tailgate. This location is critical and will position the ball 2" in front of the axle. If the truck has a spray-on bed liner, add 1/8" to 3/16" to the measurement.
Make a 4-inch hole at the marked location using a 4-inch hole saw or by making a 4-inch circle and cutting it out with a saber saw equipped with a metal cutting blade. Measure, mark, and saw carefully, as this hole location is critical for correct installation.
Yes, the manual states to temporarily remove the spare tire in Installation Step 2. This is necessary to allow access for inserting the cross arms and performing the installation.
1. Insert the bar cross arm (C) between the truck bed and frame from the outside of the truck in front of the rear tire over the low point on the frame. Guide it from underneath the truck and slide it as far forward as possible. It will span the frame rails and be behind the front bed support. 2. Insert the angle cross arm (D) into the notch made in the driver side wheel well. Make sure the holes are toward the front of the vehicle. 3. Slide the angle cross arm toward the rear of the vehicle about 8" to allow room for the gooseneck center and side plates.
Raise the center section into position between the cross arms with the gooseneck center cylinder offset towards the front of the vehicle. Slide the cross arms to the center section and rotate them into position. The leg of the angle cross arm with the holes should be against the center section and the bar cross arm holes should be offset toward the ground. Attach using eight 1/2" x 1 1/2" hex bolts (Item 4) and eight 1/2" conical toothed washers (Item 5). The angle cross arm also requires four 1/2" hex flange nuts (Item 6).
Loosely attach the side plates (A and B) to the cross arms by: 1. Inserting one 5/8" x 1 3/4" carriage bolt (Item 3) with CM-SP9 spacer (Item 7) through the plate and out the angle cross arm, then attaching with one 5/8" flange nut (Item 2). 2. Installing one 1/2" x 1 1/2" hex bolt (Item 4) and one 1/2" conical toothed washer (Item 5) through the plate and into the bar cross arm. Repeat on the other side.
Using the supplied fishwires, fishwire four 5/8" carriage bolts (Items 3 and 8) and four 60649-SP spacers (Item 10) into position as shown on page 1. Install the shorter 1 1/2" long bolts towards the rear of the vehicle. Loosely attach the side plates (A and B) to the frame with the supplied 5/8" hex flange nuts (Item 2). Hold the side plates against the frame and adjust the placement of the cross arms as needed.
On the driver side, mark the inner wheel well to notch for cross arm installation and handle operation. The approximate trim line is shown in Figure A with dimensions of 1 1/4" and 5/8". If a plastic wheel well liner is present, notch it as needed. No drilling into the frame is required.
Yes. The manual states that all models require modification or removal of heat shields. Some models may require modification, while others may require complete removal. Consult the specific installation location and your truck's configuration to determine whether modification or removal is necessary.
Torque all 5/8" fasteners to 210 ft-lbs and all 1/2" fasteners to 110 ft-lbs. The torque sequence is: First, torque the center section to the front and rear cross arms. Second, torque the side plates to the truck frame on both sides. Third, torque the side plates to the front and rear cross arms.
The ball cylinder measurement is 43.5" from the tailgate for all bed lengths: 5.5', 6.5', and 8' beds. The center cylinder in the gooseneck is offset towards the front of the vehicle. If the truck has a spray-on bed liner, add 1/8" to 3/16" when measuring the location of the center hole.
The subkit includes: 4x 5/8" fishwire, 6x 5/8"-11 UNC Grade 8 serrated flange nuts, 4x 5/8"-11 UNC 1-3/4" Grade 8 carriage bolts, 10x 1/2"-13 UNC 1-1/2" Grade 8 hex cap screws, 10x 1/2" S-con washers, 4x 1/2"-13 UNC Grade 8 serrated flange nuts, 2x .375" x 1.25" x 2.50" square hole spacers, 2x 5/8"-11 UNC 1-1/2" Grade 8 carriage bolts, 2x .250" x 1.00" x 1.50" round hole spacers, and 4x .313" spacers. The subkit also includes the 60910 galvanic isolator (required for aluminum beds) and the driver and passenger side weldments, front cross arm, and rear cross arm.
Before using the hitch, verify: 1. On short bed models, check for adequate turning clearance between the front of all trailers and the truck cab. 2. On two-wheel drive trucks, perform a clearance check when the truck is both loaded and unloaded to verify the inverted ball will not interfere with the top of the differential. 3. Do not exceed the vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. The manual also states to periodically check the hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound.
Use the clearance calculation formula on page 4: (Cab to ball center) - (1/2 trailer width) = (Minimum clearance). If the trailer has a coupler overhang, 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 an example: a standard 96-inch wide trailer with a 35-inch cab-to-ball distance results in -1 inch clearance (interference). Tapered nose trailers typically taper from 8 feet to 6 feet (or 7 feet to 5 feet) at the coupler.
On two-wheel drive trucks, you must perform a clearance check when the truck is both loaded and unloaded to verify the inverted ball will not interfere with the top of the differential. This is critical because the truck's suspension height changes with load, which affects the ball position relative to the differential.
The subkit weighs 90 lbs.
After installation, verify: 1. The center ring protrudes through the bed floor. 2. On vehicles with suspension level sensors, the sensor linkage clears the side plates and fasteners (failure to do so may cause sensor damage). 3. All fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. The manual recommends periodically checking the hitch to ensure fasteners remain tight and structural components remain sound.
The center ring must protrude through the bed floor. The gooseneck center cylinder should be offset towards the front of the vehicle. The ball cylinder measurement should be 43.5" from the tailgate for all bed lengths (5.5', 6.5', and 8'). If the truck has a spray-on bed liner, add 1/8" to 3/16" to the measurement.
Periodically check the hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify a maintenance interval, so consult the 60607 Center Section instructions (which complete the installation) or Curt Manufacturing for detailed maintenance recommendations.
The 60649 is a gooseneck hitch subkit for Ford F-150 trucks. It is designed for use with the 60607 Center Section (sold separately) and includes the structural components needed to mount the hitch to the truck frame and bed. The subkit includes driver and passenger side weldments, front and rear cross arms, the 60910 galvanic isolator, and all required fasteners and spacers. The subkit weighs 90 lbs.
No. The 60649 subkit is designed for use with the 60607 Center Section, but the center section is not included and must be purchased separately. The subkit instructions state to refer to the 60607 gooseneck hitch instructions for installation completion and operating procedures.

The 60649 subkit fits Ford F-150 trucks with short bed, standard bed, and long bed configurations. It is designed for use with the 60607 Center Section (sold separately). Confirm your specific model year and bed type with Curt Manufacturing or a fitment database.
You must purchase the 60607 Center Section separately. If your truck has an aluminum bed, the 60910 galvanic isolator is included in the subkit and must be used. A lifting device (engine hoist or cable come-a-long) is recommended. Curt Part # 60606 (Gooseneck Install Tool) is also recommended.
Yes. You must drill a 4-inch hole in the truck bed at 43.5" from the tailgate (centered between wheel wells). No drilling into the frame is required. Trimming of the driver side wheel well is also required.
Torque all 5/8" fasteners to 210 ft-lbs and all 1/2" fasteners to 110 ft-lbs. Torque in this order: first the center section to cross arms, second the side plates to frame, third the side plates to cross arms.
On short bed models, verify adequate turning clearance between the trailer front and truck cab. On two-wheel drive trucks, check clearance when loaded and unloaded to ensure the ball does not interfere with the differential. Use the clearance calculation formula on page 4 to verify the trailer will not hit the cab.
Verify the center ring protrudes through the bed floor, all fasteners are tight, and on suspension-level-sensor-equipped vehicles, the sensor linkage clears the side plates. Periodically recheck all fasteners and structural components.
No. Do not exceed the vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. The manual emphasizes this warning multiple times.
If the truck bed has been distorted downward from heavy use, use a lifting device such as an engine hoist, cable come-a-long, or Curt Part # 60606 (Gooseneck Install Tool) to lift the center section of the hitch into place. This will ease the process of raising the gooseneck so the center ring protrudes through the bed floor and attaching the gooseneck center section to the crossarms.
If the clearance calculation (page 4) results in a negative number, the trailer will interfere with the cab. This is a safety issue and the trailer cannot be used with this truck and hitch configuration. You must either use a different trailer with a smaller width or coupler overhang, or consult with Curt Manufacturing regarding alternative hitch solutions.
On two-wheel drive trucks, if the clearance check (performed when the truck is both loaded and unloaded) reveals the inverted ball will interfere with the top of the differential, the hitch cannot be safely used. Consult Curt Manufacturing regarding alternative hitch solutions or modifications.
If the sensor linkage does not clear the side plates and fasteners after installation, this may cause sensor damage. Verify the CM-SP50 spacers are correctly installed in Installation Step 9 and that the sensor bracket is properly positioned with the locating tab in the rectangular hole in the frame. If interference persists, consult Curt Manufacturing or a professional installer.
