B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch

B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch

Not only does this kit provide you with a sturdy, custom base for installing your Companion fifth-wheel trailer hitch in the bed of your truck, but it also doubles as one of the most recognizable gooseneck hitches on the market. This fifth wheel installation kit actually is the Turnoverball gooseneck hitch from B&W.


Gooseneck Specs:

  • Gross towing weight: 30,000 lbs
  • Vertical load limit: 7,500 lbs
  • Ball size: 2-5/16"

B&W Companion Installed in Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch

With the B&W Turnoverball underbed gooseneck trailer hitch you get the best of both worlds. When you go to tow a gooseneck trailer, the Turnoverball creates a sturdy, dependable connection with your trailer. And when you're done towing, you can stow the ball upside down in the hitch to get full bed access and a clean appearance. When you're ready to tow your fifth wheel trailer, just install the Companion in the ball hole in place of the gooseneck ball and lock the post in place using the built-in handle. You can remove the fifth wheel when you're done towing, leaving your truck bed open once again.


Simple, Custom Installation

This kit is custom designed for your vehicle. The mounting brackets bolt to existing holes in your truck's frame. While some modification is required - you will need to cut a 4" diameter hole in your bed for the hitch ball and drill holes for the built-in safety chain loops - there is no need to weld onto or to drill into your frame.


Once you have the brackets and center section installed, set up the operating handle. This handle is designed to be accessed from the rear driver's-side wheel well. On the end of the handle is the heavy-duty steel pin that secures the mounting post of the Companion (or the base of the gooseneck hitch ball).

The best of the best. I've used them all. This is a game changer. I can't even begin to explain how much I love this hitch. I used to order all my trucks with the factory puck/gooseneck system. Not anymore. Much cleaner look with the B&W. It's worth the install effort to have a B&W system by far.



by:

I bought a 2020 Silverado 2500, it had a curt gooseneck hitch, it was a pain to remove took like 2 hours to take out, it’s not as well made as the bw hitch glad I put it in, it is well made and easy to install, no problems to install. Thanks for the great product.



by:

I am happy with the products. I do like the new set up B&W came up with for the newer trucks. One thing I was not happy with was when I ordered the Turnover Ball Hitch along with the Companion 5th wheel hitch for my customer, I was shorted the center section for the Turnover ball hitch. Thankfully my customer was understanding, just put a huge delay in getting it installed and came down to the wire before my customer left for their trip.

Have not installed yet but all the hardware is very heavy duty and painted with no defects looks good



by:
2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

Had a little hiccup on the delivery, but Tiffany at e trailer took care of everything for me. Got it squared away very very fast. so a big thank you to each trailer for taking care of me.



by:

After having this hitch installed in our truck, we have towed our 5th wheel camper all over the US with no problems.



by:

Very well made, and exceptionally rugged. I had this installed in my 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 HD by a local spring shop that works primarily with heavy commercial trucks, as my truck did not have a 5th Wheel/Gooseneck package. They were very impressed with construction, fit, finish and ease of installation. I also purchased the B&W Companion 5th Wheel hitch to go along with it, to tow my 14k lbs. camper. I have just completed a 1200 mile trip towing camper from Wisconsin to northern New England, and I was very pleased with the performance of both components.



by:

Easy to order and fast on delivery. Definitely heavy duty!



by:

Received this Underbed Installation Kit, the quality of the hardware was perfect! The reason I gave it a 4-star review vs 5-star was the documentation. We had to go to the Website to find the Step-by-Step installation instructions. It would also be VERY helpful if they would BOLD the Hand Tighten Only stuff to ensure this isn't missed. We tightened several of the bolts and found out later these needed to be loosened until final assembly.

Great hitch
Wouldn’t buy any other brand
easy install
It’s versatile to use gooseneck or put in 5 th wheel hitch



by:
2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

Product is excellent and etrailer.com is even better. I wouldn't buy anything but a B&W and every time I do buy etrailer has it here in days. This is my 3rd hitch from them and every time has been flawless. Very happy.



by:

Great product! Great website! Installing this fifth wheel kit was not for the faint of heart but with installation videos and clear, easy to understand instructions. We got ‘er done! Shipment came 3 days earlier than expected



by:

Fit is perfect and just as advertised, instructions were complete and very detailed



by:

I purchased this unit because I wanted to keep the bed as clean as possible when not towing. After getting a quote for installation I decided to try it myself. It went very well. Recommend 2 people for installation because it is heavy. Went in with little difficulty. Would recommend highly.



by:

Straight forward install, great quality. Lots of videos for installation instructions to let you know how to do it.



by:
2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500

The instructions are done well, and the install videos are a nice touch. Cant beat the prices.

heavy but box arrived in decent shape and product had no scratches. Installation was easy but you need two people or a lift.

  • What Is An OEM Prep Package And How Do I Know If I Have It
    The OEM prep package consists of 4 "pucks" in the bed of the truck that will allow you to drop in puck style hitches for easy installation and removal, that gives you a completely clear bed when not in use. The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3775 you were looking at has four puck style feet that drop into the pucks and a lever on each leg that simply turns to lock or unlock the leg in the puck.

    To add a gooseneck hitch to your 2024 GMC Sierra 2500 with a 6-3/4' bed, I recommend the B&W Custom Underbed Installation Kit item # BWGNRK1020. It has a massive 30,000 lbs capacity and fits both the 6-3/4' and 8' bed lengths. The B&W item # BWGNRK1020 includes all hardware necessary to complete installation on your truck. The custom fit brackets install into preexisting holes in your trucks frame. It is made in the USA and powder coated to prevent rust. This underbed system allows you...

  • Is A Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch Needed For A 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 Standard Bed
    Yes, you will want to use a sliding fifth wheel hitch since your 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 has a standard sized bed. This will help prevent the nose of your 5th wheel from coming into contact with the cab of your bed when making turns. The only exemption to this would be if your 5th wheel trailer has a rotating pin box, in which case you would need to use a fixed hitch. If your Sierra has the factory puck system then you will need the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC...

  • Is There an Underbed 5th Wheel Hitch Option for a 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 Without Pucks
    Yes, there are two underbed mounted fifth wheel hitch options for a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 but each of which are designed to work with their own hitches. These two options are from B&W and Demco. The B&W Companion part # BWRVK3400-5W and part # BWGNRK1020-5W or the Demco Hijacker part # DM8550034 and part # DR37FR.

    It sounds like you might already have a Q24 from your old setup and would like to use it with your 2024 GMC 3500. The fixed Q24 # C16245 (for above bed rails) or # C37FR (for OEM prep package) will fit if you have the short bed. However, you are going to run into clearance issues.

All that is left is the 5th wheel hitch. We will have a couple of options for your 5th wheel hitch, but I am partial to the B&W options.

    I would be happy to compare the B&W Turnoverball System item # BWGNRK1020-5W to the Curt Underbed System item # C60642. Both of these systems are confirmed to fit the 6-3/4' and 8' bed lengths of the 2022 GMC Sierra 2500. The main advantage of the B&W over the Curt is that B&W has 5th wheel hitches made specifically for their turnover ball system. These hitches are some of the best 5th wheel hitches on the market.

    The part numbers # BWGNRK1020 and # BWGNRK1020-5W are the exact same Turnoverball gooseneck hitch. We have two part numbers for it though as it shows up in two parts of vehicle fitguides as it works as a gooseneck hitch by itself or as the base rails for a Companion fifth wheel hitch. Our pricing sometimes fluctuates based on how certain part numbers are selling. Best solution I can recommend is go with the one that costs less!

While I can't tell you exactly what you need to ensure proper clearance all around for your 5th wheel trailer and your 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500, I do have some tips for you to follow so you can be confident with your towing rig.

    There are a lot of great options for fifth-wheel hitches for your 2020 Silverado 2500. You might be able to get away with using a fifth-wheel hitch without the slider option, but for vehicles with a short bed, it is almost always recommended. Without it, you could have difficulty maneuvering the trailer on tight corners and could even damage your truck and camper if not careful.

The slider would slide back when you make tight turns while towing your 5th wheel trailer, that way there will be no impact to your truck cab.
