Great sturdy product. My used 2012 F-250 came with one and now have one on my 2020 F-250, I think it's a better product than the Ford factor hitch. The installation video is VERY helpful. Torquing the bolts requires a lot strength and flexibility due to the awkward positions you have to get in but it can be done with patience and prayer. Just plan on dropping the exhaust as shown in the video. As is consistently the case e-Trailer's customer service is second to none. We've already used it several times to pull at 16' gooseneck dump trailer and it works very well.

ETrailer was really helpful when I called them with a question. Was installing pretty easy but since I have a older truck bed wasn’t exactly straight so put 2x4 under floor jack and was able to raise it enough to install my rails underneath without it hitting shock like it was first doing. Took few hours but looks good. Haven’t used it so can’t give a rating for how well it actually tows heavy loads. I plan on towing my gooseneck trailer with tractor which should be around 25k pounds.

This thing is awesome!! Well designed and can be installed at home. I have not towed with it yet but that will change soon. Would state that two things, 1st torquing this to spec will require the right tools. Second make sure you have a new/ sharp hole saw. When installing mine I had a used while saw that walked a little. Just a cosmetic issue and the spray in Berliner will fix!!

I normally don’t write reviews But this gentlemen Rodger with etrailer made ordering my B&W under bed turnover ball hitch kit fast and easy. From the date it shipped to the day I received it. I was very impressed with good efficient professional service. You have a great team. Thank you.

Between the videos and the instructions it was very easy to follow. If you’re like me and don’t want to cut your fender liners I simply removed the front bed bolts and jacked one side up to slide in the mounting rails. The only fender I had to cut was the drivers side to allow for the latch pin lever. I really like just how “flush” the hitch really is once you turn over the ball. Overall very impressed with the hitch so far and have already recommended the hitch to other family members and friends.

Hitch is well built!!!!Was easy to install. The video they provide is spot on! Very satisfied all the way around! Would definitely buy again. I used a clamp to drill the pilot hole. Everything lines right up. B&W is a great product. Installed this in a 2021 Ram 2500!

As a retired machinist, I impressed with the functionality and quality of this made in the USA product. I'm adapting this to fit my 2019 Mercedes Sprinter Cab Chassis to pull my 5th wheel. I'll end up with a 7' flatbed and a 7' sleeper cab !

Loved the quick shipping. Only had a few days to get this and it arrived with 1 day to spare. Had it installed at the dealer's, took a couple of hours. Hauled a heavy trailer over 400 miles with no problems. Worked great.

The fit of the assembly is good however some of fasteners were missing; 2-1/2” x 2 1/4” bolts, 2-1/2” flat washers (45 minute trip to hardware store). Snap ring not installed on bottom of the locking mechanism (very hard to install it after the assembly is in the truck and another trip to the hardware store for snap ring pliers)

Installed on 2020 F150 5 1/2’ bed. It went almost flawless. I had 2 issues that need to be pointed out in the instructions. The crossover angle bars need to be put in a certain way in order to roll them up in place. I did the back one wrong and couldn’t get it back out so I had to loosen the bed so I could get it in place. Make sure the open end is down ^ and holes to the inside towards the center. The only other issue I has was to remove the tire to get the ball release bar in place. I have pulled a 30 ft GN with 5 large round bales of hay and had no problems. If you want a GN in your SB Ford this is the one

This was my first order I placed with et etrailer. If one work could say it I guess it would perfect! I ordered on a Tuesday arrived on Thursday. I Placed the order got conformation and a name and contact to call if I had any issues, once it arrived I got another email letting me know if had been delivered. The installation video was perfect made it’s easy to install just followed the steps. When I need any trailer related items I will use them. As far as the B&W hitch i put it in a 2017 Ram 2500 with Ram boxes. The fit and quality of the hitch and design is what I have come to expect from B&W. I got this hitch to pull a gooseneck horse trailer. If your wondering if it will work with Ram Boxes it will.

A lot of people told me I could not put a goose neck hitch on a 1/2 ton truck. My 2018 Silverado handled the hardware just fine and it pulls an 8,000 lb 3 horse full tack room trailer with ease. I have a 6.5 foot bed - would not recommend this on a 5 foot bed b/c if you jackknife while backing up you will smash your back window. I also recommend installation by a company that does this type of install regularly. I drove an hour to Ocala and had it done at The Hitching Post. They were fair with pricing and easy to work with. Lastly you want to keep a pair of vice grips in your truck to pull up the rollover ball when it is flat. Hay and dust gets in the cracks and it is difficult to pull it up with just your fingers. Overall I highly recommend.

1997 ford f250 Works great, except the turnover part, the ball hits the sway bar. Install was not as easy as stated but that's probably because the kit was more of a universal fit for my truck and I had to do a lot of drilling.

First, my critique of trailer: item was well packaged and shipped fast, but if you order more than one item you have to watch your status, as a single back ordered item will hold up your entire order with no notification unless you see the delay and you tell them to split the order. As for the hitch: I’ve been a long time loyal B&W customer and still am. Installation instructions were easy to follow and very detailed. Everything went in as described except I had to trim a bit off a heat shield which wasn’t mentioned. Only complaint is peeling paint from part of the center piece. This is the second time I’ve had to touch up a B&W product during installation. No signs of mishandling, the powder coat just didn’t bond in some areas.

Great product manufactured by a great company. I installed the hitch myself with no issues resulting in a perfect fit. It was truly custom made for my vehicle as described. Instructions were clear and concise and the video, provided by E-trailer, was a tremendous help. Advice to others who purchase this product and plan to install themselves: Take your time and follow the instructions to the letter. Hats off to E-trailer and B&W. Two great companies. Thanks, Dennis North Carolina

The Hitch came faster than expected It took about 2 hours to install thanks to etrailer's [on-line video]instructions very happy
Brent F - 07/30/2020Review from a similar Turnoverball in Accessories and Parts
This is a good kit. It took me about 3 hours to install, but I'm not the fastest. You'll need a floor jack, rope, 4" hole saw, 1/2" and smaller drill bits, drill, torque wrench, sockets, wrenches, and a impact driver would help make the job faster. Use the floor jack in the truck bed with a rope to lift the heavy plate into place. See pictures.

The turnover B & W ball system is perfect for situation. We use an Anderson hitch for 5th wheel. It was easy to install after watching a couple of videos. Easy to maintain. I would recommend this product to friends and family.
Review from a similar Turnoverball in Accessories and Parts
Needed fifth whl installed, I dropped spare tire moved out of way, then sat in area under truck where spare tire sat. Marked and drilled center pilot hole, cut out ball hole inside bed. I did not remove exhaust or anything. Measured all for accuracy, and measured bed to verify turning capacity.Moved plate under bed, inside bed, put metal pipe on jack stands above center hole, tied wire from bottom plate up to rod in bed, pushed wire down, maneuvered plate on axle, used wire guide plate in location, tied off plate to hold it, tied wire around nut plate, pushed plate in, using wire to align it, used bolts for setup of nuts in location, removed bolts pushed plate back in location tightened bolts. In bed marked chain hooks, drilled and installed. Lubed up fifth, wheel attached handle release, applied herculin er on edges of hole,. Reinstalled all. 3.5 hrs install by 1 person. Ready for 5th wheel pull. Great price medium install level, need drill bits, air tools, jack, and plan the install.

Quality of components are impressive. I have no doubt this hitch will handle my 14K trailer. One of the fish wires was broken so I had to use the good one twice. The instructions were very complete and easy to follow. I exercised the option to remove the under bed spare and had all the room needed to install the components, using a ratchet strap and 2X6 across the bed rails to lift the center section into place. Once everything was loosely bolted in, I lifted the rear wheels off the ground and removed them. This gave me room to torque every thing to spec. Drivers side center bolt on forward rail was difficult to get a socket on so I used a 3/4 inch adapter on my torque wrench and a 3/4 inch combination wrench. Took me two afternoons working by myself with interruptions, and having to crawl in and out from under the truck constantly because I forgot something. Two people and a lift would be easy. Also a fine tooth hole saw is recommended, if there is such a thing. Would highly recommend this product to anyone who is in the market for a qualit hitch.

This hitch has been great on our 2014 F250. We installed it in my driveway and wasn't that hard considering we are not mechanics. We tow a 42' gooseneck trailer and it is so stable at all speeds. Being able to flip the ball when not in use is awesome.

This turnover ball was a perfect match. Thank You !
Review from a similar Turnoverball in Accessories and Parts
This unit was very handy to be able to purchase and install on my Bradford Built flatbed so that I could install my B&W companion hitch with flatbed base on the truck. The welding was all fairly straight forward and didn't require much except for a few washers and a piece of flat steel for a spacer. The one down side is that the hitch pin/handle does not have any built in twist-n-lock method to lock it so the pin remains disengaged for the ball or companion assembly install like on the common B&W under truck bed assemblies I've had on several trucks. We ended up installing the pin slightly out of line so that the tip of the pin would catch on the exterior of the receiver when pulled out and then when I wanted to engage the pin just push up on the handle and press the pin back in. I do like that I can still cover the hitch hole with the cover plate as seen in the picture.

Installed on my 2019 F250 4x4. Very heavy and well made product. Design and engineered well for installation. As a DIY person I've decided to save $300 and installed this myself and the fact it was during the Corona quarantine. Somewhere I saw 2 hours labor for novice. Let me tell you that is completely inaccurate for your typical DIY person. etrailer has a great install video for a 2109 F250, but don't use that alone. Minor differences in their project truck makes major headaches for the novice installer. Follow the video, but also follow printed instructions. Watching video indicated it was a good idea to loosen exhaust. It made it look easy to do that. Video showed removing 4 bolts which was easy, but that does not loosen exhaust enough to matter. You have to remove another bracket further towards the front of the truck which is MUCH more difficult, if you can even figure out how. I spent an hour wasting time with exhaust and gave up on that part. Lot of brake lines and emissions type stuff under there to deal with also. In the end, exhaust isn't worth loosening. I did the install by myself in about 6 hours. I'm 55 yoa and 6' tall so going back and forth under the truck a 100 times wasn't much fun. A lift would have cut that install time in half. Better figure out how you are going to lift the actual receiver into place and hold it there while you get the bolts in. I used a jack with a board along with a strap thru the top tied off. Again, without a lift this is a tough job but doable. In the end happy with the install.

I installed this yesterday, along with the Companion 5th Wheel Hitch. Very good instructions, well written, great illustrations. Everything fit perfectly, no struggles with alignment. Very good hardware. Looks to be very sturdily built, the welds looks great. One thing to look out for - on my 2016 Chev 3500 anyway, the exhaust is in the way of drilling the passenger side retractable chain hook holes. You will need an angle drill or drill with a flexible extension cable. Or get your steel rule out and do some serious measuring like I did and drill the holes from the top down. I drilled the accessible driver's side, then transposed those measurements to the passenger side and drilled from the top using a small drill. After hitting the hole, I used progressively larger drills until I found the edge of the 1/2" hole in the center plate, then hogged out the hole the rest of the way with a Dremel grinder. Not a big deal, just had to get a little creative. Over all, excellent experience, from the purchase, the help from customer service (fantastic people!), fast delivery and easy install. Highly recommended!
