CURT OEM Puck Gooseneck Hitch Kit for Ram 2500/3500 — 2-5/16" Ball, 38,000 lb GTW, Tool-Free Drop-In

CURT 60638 is a dedicated OEM puck-system gooseneck hitch kit that drops into Ram 2500 and 3500 bed pucks to enable 2-5/16" gooseneck towing up to 38,000 lbs. GTW.

This kit is engineered specifically for Ram pickup trucks equipped with the factory puck system. It assembles a 2-5/16" gooseneck ball, two heavy-duty safety chain anchors, a rubber hole cover and a fitted storage case — all made to install without tools and to stow neatly when not in use. The components use a patented quarter-turn latch and built-in retention balls so the ball and anchors sit securely in the puck openings and release quickly when the job is done.

How does the CURT 60638 install in a Ram truck bed?

Installation is designed to be simple and tool-free for trucks that already have the Ram puck system. Each component drops into the matching puck, then engages with a quarter-turn latch and retention balls to lock it in place. Removal is the reverse: a quick quarter turn and lift frees the hardware for storage.

• Drop-in design fits factory Ram puck openings
• Quarter-turn latch locks components quickly
• Retention balls in the shank prevent accidental release
• No drilling, bolting, or tools required

What towing capacities does this gooseneck kit support?

The CURT 60638 is rated for a 38,000 lb. gross trailer weight (GTW) and a 9,500 lb. vertical load, matching heavy-duty towing needs like flatbeds and livestock trailers. The included 2-5/16" ball is sized to mate with most standard gooseneck couplers, making it compatible with a broad range of trailers built for heavy loads.

• 38,000 lbs. GTW rating for heavy trailers
• 9,500 lbs. vertical load capacity
• Standard 2-5/16" ball fits most couplers
• Engineered for high-load, heavy-duty use

What materials and features keep the kit durable?

Curt constructs the ball and safety chain anchors from high-strength steel and applies a protective powder-coat finish to resist corrosion and wear. The safety chain anchors are cast steel with oversized loops for robust clevis hook attachment, while the rubber hole cover helps prevent moisture and debris from entering the puck receiver when the ball is removed.

• Heavy-duty cast and machined steel components
• Powder-coat finish for corrosion resistance
• Large chain loops to accept heavy clevis hooks
• Rubber hole cover protects the puck when not in use

How does storage and portability work for this kit?

Curt includes a molded plastic storage case sized to secure the gooseneck ball, anchors and cover when they are not installed. The case fits easily in a toolbox or the truck cab so components are on hand when needed and kept clean and organized between uses.

• Durable plastic case keeps parts together and protected
• Compact enough for tuck-away in a truck tool box or cab
• Case interior molded to prevent scratching and rattle
• All components ready for quick field installation
