The CURT folding ball gooseneck hitch is an innovation in gooseneck technology, offering a unique solution to the problem of a misplaced or stolen trailer ball. Rather than having a fixed trailer ball that obstructs your truck bed space or a removable ball that locks into place using a set of pins, a folding ball gooseneck hitch features a permanently attached ball that hinges down into a small compartment within the hitch. When folded down, the gooseneck ball remains out of the way and allows you to make full use of your truck bed. When folded back up again, it provides a reliable towing connection for your gooseneck trailer. No matter which position the ball is in, it remains fixed to your pickup truck, deterring theft and preventing loss. The CURT over-bed folding ball gooseneck hitch is just another example of CURT quality and ease of use. This durable hitch has a gross trailer weight capacity up to 30,000 lbs. and a tongue weight capacity of 7,500 lbs. A 2-5/16" trailer ball, 3/8" thick top plate, six-hole mounting design and U-bolt safety chain hookups ensure that your trailer and payload stay securely attached. The folding mechanism of the over-bed folding ball gooseneck hitch features a stainless steel safety pin and pivot spring to prevent binding, and it comes with a T-handle to make operation of the ball quick and easy. To top things off, we finish each over-bed folding ball gooseneck hitch in a durable carbide powder coat to resist rust and give it a limited lifetime warranty for peace of mind

This hitch has a 30,000 lb towing capacity and features the innovative folding ball design.
Absolutely! The CURT 61052 Over-Bed Folding Ball Gooseneck Hitch is specifically designed to fit 1988-1998 Chevrolet C1500 models, so your 1993 is right in that range. You'll get the full 30,000 lb towing capacity with 7,500 lb tongue weight rating, plus that convenient folding ball design that keeps your truck bed clear when not towing.
Yes, the CURT 61052 Over-Bed Folding Ball Gooseneck Hitch works with both short bed and long bed configurations for all the compatible truck models listed. The over-bed design positions the hitch properly regardless of bed length, and the folding ball feature is especially convenient since it keeps your truck bed completely usable when not towing.
Actually, Chevrolet stopped making the C1500 in 1998 and switched to the Silverado naming. The CURT 61052 fits 1988-1998 Chevrolet C1500 models, but for a 2019 truck, you'd need to look at the Silverado 1500 fitment instead. This particular hitch fits 2001-2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD and 2007-2019 Silverado 3500 HD models.
Installation of the CURT 61052 requires over-bed gooseneck installation brackets and does involve drilling into your truck bed. The hitch comes with grade-8 hardware and uses a six-hole mounting design for maximum security. While it's a permanent installation that requires some fabrication skills, the end result is a rock-solid connection rated for 30,000 lbs with that handy folding ball feature.
The Curt 61052 is a folding gooseneck hitch ball designed for pickup trucks. It mounts flush in the truck bed and folds down when not in use. The hitch ball raises into towing position via a T-handle and is secured by a locking plate. It is also sold as the C-52 kit.
The manual explicitly states: 'Do not invert ball on any Toyota Tundra models.' This means you cannot fold the ball down on a Tundra because it may hit the top of the differential, brake lines, or sensors. Installation on Tundra is not recommended.
The manual warns: 'Do not invert ball when carrying heavy loads on 2 wheel drive trucks. The ball may hit the top of the differential, brake lines, or sensors.' This means you cannot fold the ball down on 2WD trucks under load. The hitch may be installed but must remain in the raised position during towing.
The hitch ball must be centered between the sides of the truck bed and positioned 2" to 6" in front of the rear axle centerline for proper weight distribution. The ball centerline must remain centered even if the cut-out is offset to the driver's side to accommodate frame or bed features.
A 7.5" × 11" cut-out must be marked and made in the truck bed for flush mounting the fold-down hitch ball. Before cutting, check the cut-out area for gas lines, brake lines, and other components. If necessary, move the assembly to avoid these, but keep the ball centered and 2"-6" in front of the axle.
The manual states: 'Cutting of bed rail supports may be necessary on some models.' Whether cutting is required depends on your specific truck model and bed configuration. Consult with your installer or Curt Manufacturing to determine if this is necessary for your vehicle.
The manual provides two support methods: (1) Bed Plate Support: a hot-rolled steel plate (3/8" × 26" × 40") with angle braces (2" × 2") and frame brackets (3/8" × 2"), or (2) H-Frame Support: a steel frame (at least 1/2" thick and 2" wide) with frame brackets (3/8" × 2"). Alternatively, you can purchase the C-52 kit from Curt Manufacturing.
The parts list includes: (1) C-52 Folding Hitch Ball, (6) 5/8"-11 × 2.5" carriage bolts, (6) 5/8"-11 flange nuts, and (1) U-bolt kit. Frame brackets, bed plates, H-frame support structures, and additional bolts, nuts, and lockwashers are not included and must be fabricated or sourced separately.
For bed plate support: drill 11/16" holes through the bed and plate using the hitch base as a template, then 17/32" holes for angle braces and frame brackets. For H-frame support: drill 11/16" holes in the frame structure aligned with the hitch assembly, then 17/32" holes through frame brackets and truck frame. All holes in the frame must be centered in the frame.
Tighten all 5/8" carriage bolts and flange nuts to 110 lb-ft. torque. This applies to both the bed plate support method and the H-frame support method when bolting the hitch assembly to the truck bed.
Tighten all 1/2" bolts, nuts, and lockwashers to 75 lb-ft. torque. This applies to angle braces and frame brackets when using the bed plate support method.
No. The manual explicitly states: 'Do not weld brackets to frame.' Welding will not provide the strength needed for towing. All brackets must be bolted to the frame using the specified fasteners and torque values.
Shims are used to accommodate corrugation in the pickup bed when bolting the hitch assembly to the bed plate. They ensure proper seating and alignment of the fasteners. The manual recommends using shims but does not specify whether they are included.
Raise the hitch ball and connect the trailer. You should have about 6" clearance between the bottom of the trailer overhang and the top of the bed sides. Check clearance between the trailer and vehicle at all corners. The manual also provides a clearance calculation formula on page 5 to verify the trailer will not interfere with the cab during turns.
The manual does not specify a maximum towing capacity for the hitch itself. Instead, it states: 'Do not exceed your vehicle's rated towing capacity.' You must consult your vehicle manufacturer's documentation to determine the maximum weight your truck can safely tow.
Before each tow: (1) verify trailer-to-cab clearance using the clearance calculation formula, (2) check tightness of all nuts and bolts, (3) check for excessive wear on fasteners, (4) inspect the hitch ball for wear or damage, and (5) do not tow if any parts are worn or damaged. The manual also recommends removing rear window accessories if necessary.
Keep the hitch ball greased regularly using wheel bearing grease to prevent wear and rust. Oil the hinge points of the locking plate at least every two months. Keep the hitch assembly free of dirt and foreign matter. Check tightness of all nuts and bolts before each use and check for excessive wear. Inspect the ball for wear before each use.
To raise the ball into towing position: use the handle to lift the locking plate, then pull the T-handle upward to lift the ball into the raised position, and close the locking plate to lock it in place. To fold the ball down when not in use: lift the locking plate, lower the ball down, and close the locking plate.
The manual explicitly states not to invert the ball on any Toyota Tundra models because it may hit the differential, brake lines, or sensors. Installation is not recommended.
A 7.5" × 11" cut-out is required. Before cutting, check for gas lines, brake lines, and other components in the area.
Tighten 5/8" carriage bolts to 110 lb-ft. and 1/2" bolts to 75 lb-ft. Check all fasteners before each use.
No. The manual states: 'Do not weld brackets to frame.' Welding will not provide the strength needed for towing. All brackets must be bolted using the specified fasteners and torque values.
The manual does not specify a hitch capacity. You must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's rated towing capacity. Consult your vehicle documentation for maximum towing weight.
Grease the hitch ball regularly with wheel bearing grease. Oil hinge points every two months. Check all nuts and bolts before each use for tightness and wear. Inspect the ball for damage before each tow.
