• Best Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for a 2017 Ram 2500
  All of the 2017 Ram 2500 models have the structure built already under the bed to add a gooseneck hitch. Models with the factory prep package would actually have the hitch and the four 5th wheel hitch holes in the bed. If it were me I would go with the B&W option, # BWGNRK1384, since they are so well made and made right here in the USA. Because Ram had that structure as a part of the vehicle build it makes it a lot easier to add a gooseneck hitch. You can use # 9467 from Draw-Tite,...

• How are the Holes for Gooseneck Safety Chains Placed in the Truck Bed
  In addition to the 3-1/2 inch diameter hole for the gooseneck ball to pass through, four 9/16 inch holes will need to be drilled for the u-bolts to pass through the truck bed. The u-bolts are spring loaded so that they will sit flat in the bed when they are not being used, but can be easily pulled up in order to attach the safety chains. We have some excellent installation videos online, I will give you a link below to see one of them.

• Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Fit for 2014 Ram 2500
  It will not, but the good news is that we do offer a hitch that will work. The 2014 Ram 2500 already has the rail structure mounted to the frame under the bed to accept a gooseneck hitch, so you'll need to use a gooseneck hitch specifically designed to work with that structure. The Draw-Tite # 9467 is the Hide-A-Goose model that you'd want to use as the # 9460 hitch you'd looked at isn't compatible with the rails under the truck bed. If you'd wish to install a 7-way trailer connector...

For that you will want a custom install kit like the part # RP50084-58 that will minimize drilling and cut install time in half when compared to a universal kit. Since your truck bed is so short the only way you will to make sharp turns is if you replace the pin box of the fifth wheel trailer with a Sidewinder pin box. You will need to remove the pin box of the trailer and replace it with a Sidewinder...

• Could Gooseneck Hitch from 2002 Ford F-250 Fit 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500HD New Body
  There's a large enough difference between a 2002 Ford F-250 and a 2007 New Body Chevy Silverado 2500HD that there wouldn't be a way to install a gooseneck hitch from one truck on to the other. You'd need a new hitch for the Chevy like the great priced Curt # C60712 which is a confirmed fit. This is very easy to use and also to install. I attached an install video for more info on it as well.

• Are Gooseneck Hitches Vehicle Specific and Why Are There Specific Units for Brands And Model Trucks
  Yes, each model hitch is designed to fit a certain vehicle make, model, year, and trim.

• Reese Hide-A-Goose Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Ball Will Not Go Down
  This has come up before with different gooseneck hitches that have a hiding ball feature. Normally the cause is some kind of debris, whether it be dirt or corrosion, that is not allowing the ball to move freely or the pin to go all the way in or out. The solution is to clean out the ball cavity as best as you can and then lubricate the hitch according to the instructions which I have linked for you. In the instructions Reese states to make sure to use the magnetic cover to keep the assembly...

• Gooseneck Hitch Ball Hole Location for Hide-A-Goose Hitch on 2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty

• Replacement Hide-A-Goose Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Plate Needed for a 2003 Dodge Ram Pickup
  From the picture that you sent in it looks like you have the Hide-A-Goose part # 9460, # 9464 or # 9465. If the vehicle you are installing this on is the 2003 Dodge Ram Pickup that you inserted for your vehicle information then the part # 9464 is the correct option for your application. For a 1500 the whole gooseneck hitch would be part # 9464-38 while for a 2500/3500 the kit would be # 9464-35. The 9464 part number comes with the plate and the hitch ball.

  If you have the Fold Down Gooseneck Hitch, # 8339-4437, in the bed of your F-150 Crew Cab pickup and are towing a gooseneck trailer that is too wide to make 90 degree turns, you will have to make some changes to be able to tow your trailer. The first thing you should do is measure to determine the clearance needed to successfully complete a 90 degree turn with your truck and trailer. Measure from the center of the gooseneck ball to the back of the cab. Next measure the width of the widest...

• Will the Hi-Rise # 9480 Mount to a Draw-Tite # 8339 Gooseneck Hitch on a 2008 Ford F-350
  Since you have the Fold-Down Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # 8339-4449 there actually isn't a way for the Hi-Rise # 9480 to secure to the gooseneck hitch since it sits down in the coupler section of the gooseneck hitch. To use the Hi-Rise you will need to swap out the top part of your gooseneck hitch with part # 9460 which allows you to remove the hitch ball. If you went this route then you also need replacement mounting hardware # 58320 since the hardware is only meant to be torqued once. We...

• How to Measure the Location of the Drill Hole for a Rail Kit on a 2005 Ford F350 8 Foot Bed
  If you are just needing the rail kit, you will need # 4449. To measure where to drill the hole if you plan on installing the Hide-A-Goose Gooseneck trailer hitch with the rail kit, # 4448, measure from rear of the bed (centered between the wheel wells) 46-3/16 inches toward the cab. Once at the 46-3/16 inch measurement, mark and drill a 1/4 inch hole. Using a hole saw, enlarge it to a 3-1/2 inch diameter. If you are wanting the gooseneck trailer hitch, hitch ball and rail kit, then go...

• Do the U-Bolts in Safety Chain Kit # 58312 have a Weight Capacity Rating
  The U-bolts in kit # 58312 don't have an official capacity by themselves. But when used with a gooseneck hitch that they were designed for, such as # 9460, the hitch is rated for 30,000 pounds. But this is the capacity of the whole system and not just the u-bolts.

• How to Release the Gooseneck Ball on a Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for a 2002 GMC Sierra 2500HD
  If you have a Fold Down Gooseneck Trailer Hitch like # 8339, that you have referenced, all you have to do is pull on the ring and the ball will fold out. But there are other types of gooseneck hitches that hide the ball in the bed. Some require a handle that exits from under the bed into the driver side wheel well, like # 9460. For this type, you would pull the handle out to release the locking pin, turn the ball over, and push the handle back in to lock it in place. If you can determine...

• Hide-a-Goose Gooseneck Hitch that Fits 2000 Ford F-350
  Draw Tite (formerly Bulldog) has a hideaway style gooseneck hitch that fits your truck but it used the center section # 9460 instead of the 9465 that you have so you wouldn't be able to reuse what you have currently. So what you'd need to do is go with the part # 9460-49 for a complete hitch that fits your truck. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

• Is the Fold-Down Gooseneck Hitch Installation Template Required to Install a Gooseneck
  The Fold-Down Gooseneck Hitch Installation Template, # 6425, is not absolutely necessary. The instructions for the Reese Fold-Down Gooseneck Trailer Hitches, like part # 8339, provide the dimensions needed for drilling holes and cutting out the center area of the bed to allow the ball to fold down below the surface. The metal template does significantly ease the installation of the gooseneck hitch though. There is no welding required for installation of the Reese Fold-Down gooseneck...
