The CURT OEM-Style Gooseneck Hitch, Select Ram 2500 Gooseneck Trailer Hitch (Part #BKDK60614) Drilling is not required for installation. Typical installation time is . Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The CURT 60614 is an installed gooseneck hitch designed for the RAM 2500. It is a weight-carrying hitch with a gross load capacity of 30,000 lbs trailer weight and 7,500 lbs tongue weight. The hitch includes a gooseneck center section, nut plate weldments, rubber cover, gooseneck ball (60601), and center locator/trim shield. Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
The CURT 60614 is designed for RAM 2500, but short bed models require special attention. You must verify adequate turning clearance between the front of all trailers and the truck cab before towing. Use the cab-to-trailer clearance calculation provided in the manual to confirm your specific trailer will not interfere with the cab during turns.
The installation requires temporary removal of the spare tire and lowering of the exhaust. The exhaust is lowered by removing the three rearmost rubber exhaust hangers. For ease of installation, you may also temporarily remove four fasteners and lower the heat shield between the exhaust and spare tire. These components are reinstalled after the hitch installation is complete.
Required tools are: torque wrench, ratchet, 15/16" socket, extension, drill, 3-1/4" hole saw, 3/16" and 11/16" drill bits, pry bar, cutting fluid, rust inhibitor, ear protection, and safety glasses. A pilot hole drill (smaller bit) is also recommended before drilling the 11/16" holes to ease the process.
The hardware kit includes: 4× 5/8-11 UNC 1-1/2" grade 8 flange bolts (part 10-10553), 4× 5/8-18 UNF center lock nuts (part 20-00135), 2× 5/8" square U-bolts (part 60614-UB), 4× U-bolt springs (part CM-C113-UBS), and 8× M16 flat washers (part 30-00087). The hitch assembly includes the gooseneck center section, two nut plate weldments, rubber cover, gooseneck ball, and center locator/trim shield.
The manual does not specify battery disconnection. However, the installation does require repositioning brake, fuel, and electrical lines for clearance. Consult your vehicle's service manual or contact CURT technical support at 1-877-287-8634 if you have concerns about electrical safety during installation.
Before installation, temporarily remove the spare tire and lower the exhaust by removing the three rearmost rubber exhaust hangers. You may also need to temporarily remove four fasteners and lower the heat shield between the exhaust and spare tire. Check that brake, fuel, and electrical lines have adequate clearance for new hardware; some models require modification or removal of heat shields. Verify that the 60601 gooseneck ball instruction sheet has been reviewed.
Yes, drilling is required. You must drill a 3-1/4" hole through the factory crossmember and truck bed using a 3-1/4" hole saw, and drill four 11/16" holes through the factory crossmember and truck bed for safety chain loops. A 3/16" pilot hole is drilled first to locate the 3-1/4" hole. Use cutting fluid to ease drilling, deburr all holes, and spray exposed metal with rust inhibitor.
From under the truck, drill a 3/16" pilot hole through the center locator (part 60614-CL) using a 3/16" drill bit. Then move to inside the truck bed and finish drilling the 3-1/4" hole. Use cutting fluid to ease the process. After drilling, deburr the hole, remove any center locator remnants, and spray exposed metal with rust inhibitor.
From under the truck, use the safety chain holes in the gooseneck center section (part 60614-WA) as a drill guide to drill four 11/16" holes up through the factory crossmember and truck bed. Drilling a small pilot hole first will ease this process. The drill must be perpendicular to the crossmember and bed. After drilling, deburr holes and spray exposed metal with rust inhibitor.
All 5/8" fasteners (the 5/8-11 x 1-1/2" hex flange bolts securing the gooseneck center section) must be torqued to 150 ft-lbs. The U-bolt nuts are tightened until flush with the bottom of the U-bolt; a specific torque value is not provided in the manual.
1. Temporarily remove spare tire and lower exhaust. 2. Install nut plates (60614-NPW) between factory crossmember and truck bed. 3. Lift gooseneck center section (60614-WA) into position with center locator installed and secure with 5/8" bolts, torqued to 150 ft-lbs. 4. Drill 3-1/4" hole through center locator. 5. Drill four 11/16" safety chain holes. 6. Install U-bolts from inside truck bed. 7. Install washers, springs, washers, and nuts on U-bolt legs, tightening until flush. 8. Reinstall exhaust hangers, heat shield, and spare tire.
From inside the rear wheel wells, slide the 60614-NPW nut plates between the factory crossmember and the truck bed. Ensure the weldnuts in the nut plates are aligned with the holes in the factory crossmembers. You will need to slide the nut plates under a wire harness next to the driver side frame rail. Flexing or bending the nut plate handles downward will allow them to slide under the wheel well liners. Before installing, run a bolt in and out of each weldnut to ensure clean threads.
The center locator (part 60614-CL) is a trim shield that must be installed into the gooseneck center section (60614-WA) prior to raising the hitch into position. It is used as a drill guide for the 3/16" pilot hole that locates the 3-1/4" hole. After drilling through it from under the truck, you move to inside the truck bed to finish drilling the 3-1/4" hole. Any center locator remnants should be removed after drilling and exposed metal sprayed with rust inhibitor.
Install the 5/8" square U-bolts (part 60614-UB) from inside the truck bed. Ensure they sit flat when in the lower position and slide easily without binding. Enlarge holes as needed for proper operation. After installation, deburr holes and spray exposed metal with rust inhibitor. From under the truck, place a washer (part 30-00087), a spring (part CM-C113-UBS), a washer, and a nut (part 20-00135) on each of the four U-bolt legs. Tighten the nuts until flush with the bottom of the U-bolt.
Yes. Prior to installing the nut plates (60614-NPW), run a bolt in and out of each weldnut to ensure clean threads. This prevents debris or damage to the threads that could cause installation problems.
Yes, the rear axle breather hose may need to be relocated prior to hitch installation. Check clearance during the installation process and relocate if necessary to avoid interference with the gooseneck center section.
Before towing the first time: verify adequate turning clearance between the truck cab/box corners and trailer(s); check that there is a minimum 6" clearance between the bottom of the trailer overhang and the top of the truck box sides; verify all hardware is torqued to the proper specification (5/8" bolts to 150 ft-lbs); verify the trailer safety chain length has only enough slack to allow full turning without interference; and verify that trailer attachments to the safety chain loops are secure and cannot be shaken free during towing.
Use the clearance calculation provided in the manual. Measure (X) = distance from cab to ball center, (Y) = half the trailer width, and (W) = coupler overhang if applicable. For a standard trailer: X − Y = Z. For a trailer with overhang: (X − W) − Y = Z. If Z is positive, the trailer will not interfere with the cab. If Z is negative, the trailer will interfere. The manual provides example calculations and a worksheet to complete your own measurement.
There must be a minimum clearance of 6" between the bottom of the trailer overhang and the top of the truck box sides. This must be verified before towing the first time.
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. Do not tow with worn or damaged parts. Periodically check the hitch to ensure all fasteners remain tight and all structural components are sound.
The CURT 60614 has a gross load capacity of 30,000 lbs trailer weight and 7,500 lbs tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch. However, you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower. Ensure the trailer load is heavier towards the front of the trailer while not exceeding the hitch tongue weight, and never load the trailer heavier behind the trailer axle(s).
No. Do not tow more than one trailer at a time. This may cause loss of control.
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. Avoid or drive slowly over rough terrain, as severe bumps can damage the towing system. Attach the trailer securely to safety chain loops. Ensure the trailer weight does not exceed any part of the towing system, and verify that trailer lights, electric brakes, and breakaway switches are working properly before each tow.
Before every tow, verify that the trailer weight does not exceed the hitch capacity (30,000 lbs trailer weight, 7,500 lbs tongue weight) or your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. Ensure the load is heavier towards the front of the trailer while not exceeding tongue weight, and never load heavier behind the trailer axle(s). Verify the load is secured to prevent shifting and centered left to right. Check that tires are inflated to proper specification per vehicle and trailer recommendations. Verify trailer lights, electric brakes, and breakaway switches are working properly.
Yes, the CURT 60614 is designed for RAM 2500. Short bed models require verification of turning clearance between the trailer and cab using the clearance calculation in the manual.
You need a torque wrench, ratchet, 15/16" socket, extension, drill, 3-1/4" hole saw, 3/16" and 11/16" drill bits, pry bar, cutting fluid, rust inhibitor, ear protection, and safety glasses.
