Video Transcript for Review of B and W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Hitch Center Section - BW93FR

Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a quick look at this B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch. This is a heavy-duty hitch head that's gonna pair with custom mounting kit bars that will allow you to create a gooseneck trailer hitch. This will provide a standard 2 5/16 inch steel gooseneck ball and your spring loaded safety chain hookup, so that you can hook up and tow your gooseneck trailer. This is made here in the USA of a powder coated steel construction, so it is going to be very sturdy and corrosion resistant. It's going to have a gross towing weight capacity of 30,000 pounds and a vertical load limit of 7,500 pounds.

And really, the standout feature of this is that when you're not towing, you can simply remove the ball from the hitch, flip it upside down, and drop it back into the hitch for storage. That way, you don't have to worry about losing your ball, and it's going to give you complete truck bed access, so when you're not towing, if you want to haul stuff in the back of your truck, in your truck bed, this will give you full access for that. This does have a single-piece, machined ball socket that's gonna provide rugged durability for you. If I take the ball out there and switch to my overhead angle, you can see that inside here, we are going to have a 5/8 inch thick spring-loaded steel locking pin that's gonna go all the way through the ball to secure it in place. To operate that, you'll just use the handle that's here on the side, and this is going to be positioned in the rear driver's side wheel well, so very easy to access, you just pull that handle out, and it will lock open, so you can put your ball in place.

Now, unlike your typical gooseneck balls, which have round bases, this does have a square base, so it is going to prevent the ball from turning in the hitch during your hookup, and so, it's going to be very easy to get the pin put in place. As you can see, we do have the pinholes on all four sides, so it doesn't matter which way you have it oriented, that pin's gonna go through, so it's gonna be very simple to get that hooked up. This does also have the corners only fit, so if you look from the top again here, you can see that our corners are going to allow any dirt and grime to fall through there, and then it's open on the bottom, so it's not going to build up that cause any seizure of the ball, 'cause it seize up in there. So not a whole lot of dirt's gonna be able to get through there, 'cause it is connected on those sides, but those corners are going to allow for the dirt to fall through, so it's not building up in there. Now, this is going to be very simple to get installed.

Again, it is going to require a custom mounting kit that's going to be designed for your vehicle to use your vehicle's already existing holes, so you won't have to do any welding or drilling into your vehicle's frame. You will have to cut a four inch diameter hole in your bed for the ball to stick out, you're also gonna have to drill a couple holes for the safety chain loops to come through, but pretty straightforward installation with the custom kit that is sold separately. We do have lots of options here at etrailer.com to meet all sorts of different models and year mix and that sort of thing. But this does come with a limited lifetime warranty, so if you we're to have any issues with it, you're more than welcome to reach out to us here at etrailer.com. But overall, I think this is gonna be a great way to tow your gooseneck trailer and also have that adjustability, so that you've got a clean look on your truck and be able to haul whatever you like in your truck bed.

So that completes our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching.
