Most Popular B And W for 1985 Dodge Ram Pickup

my install was completely custom as the back end of my 2005 ram 3500 is custom. I converted it into a weld in place hitch since the factory location was not being uses. axle was moved back 28" so the hitch had to be also.

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.

Everything worked out great the only problem is the handle to pull the pin out is not long enough to go outside the wheel well so I had to add three more inches onto it other than that great product thank you very much

I've had the hitch for a year and I love it, especially paired with the 5th wheel companion hitch. Installed in a 1995 ram 2500

I had my order before I was even ready to install it. Excellent work!

fast service and good customer service

It works great. Installation was pretty easy. I put it on a Ram 2500.

Installed it by myself and my 14 year old son in about two hours very easy to follow instructions and the new Dodge Ram was already built for it very easy to operate and pulled the trailer like it wasn't even there and no need to pull out inner fender wells

Awesome product. Would recommend to anyone!

Excellent product. Good fit. Clear directions. Straightforward install. I would absolutely recommend this product. It's great to be able to ditch the ball when you need to haul stuff in the bed. Free install tip: I used the hitch itself as a template for drilling the bed and frame rails. Saves some layout and measuring.

B and W makes the best products. I am willing to pay a little extra to buy B and W over other manufactures as the quality and build is outstanding. I bought this item as well as their 5th will puck hitch. Couldn't be happier, works exactly like its supposed to. One note is on my previous Ram I had the factory gooseneck and the ball would spin in the hitch, wearing it out. On the truck I have now, I specifically bought it without the factory hitch so I could put B and W's hitch in which is MUCH better!!

etrailer not only have a great procedure for online trading or online store, but also a great website....people on similar business can appreciate that as per other this feature can be transparent for them...it takes a great effort of team work to accomplish what this level of a,b,c,d online process to be done the way of etrailer has done. The products are simply well described, well packed, fast shipping. Whether is in stock or direct ship from manufacture, they make it look like is nothing..to me another great team effort and well though software architecture. As often we find instructions from manufacture to be some confusing, etrailer back it up which bunch of literature and videos to easy the process. Device recommendations: I strongly recommend that anyone purchasing this item to purchase also the harness kit, installation is plug and play and it looks part of another factory install. Cons: The part where every instruction or videos said "remove the clamp of the exhaust pipe to move exhaust pipe over" I found that is extremely difficult to accomplish that procedure on a 2014 3500 Ram with a Diesel Engine which it has the extra exhaust regeneration device or so call DPF...where fuel exhaust particles are burn, etc. that makes my vehicle exhaust to be solid almost one foot before reaching my rear end axle, meaning location where I need to be working installing my under bed gooseneck hitch. I did not removed any exhaust clamps and I simply got me a short 22 mm and tight my bolts with a wrench and a hammer. NOTE: ABS harness bracket it looks like is going to be rubbing against the hitch and it is extremely close, but it does not once bolts are tight you will have about 1/2 clearance (will not rub). Last comments, everything fits and everything goes where is says instructions, do not remove your bed of cut your truck in half..jejejejej Good luck, hope I help someone God Bless

I bought this hitch for my 2014 Ram 1500. I love it. I've had a few gooseneck hitches in my life and this one is my favorite. I love the fact you can unlock the ball in the bed without jumping in and out. Just turn the key provided and turn the ball over. If I replace this truck down the road, I will be ordering this hitch again. Great hitch, strongly recommend.

This B&W Turnover Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch setup fit my RAM 1500 perfectly. Removal of the ball is a breeze and it secures firmly in place when re-installed.

complete kit, everything needed to complete job, was able to fabricate hitch to a 2018 Dodge Ram cab and chassis model without factory installed crossmember

received the hitch kit quickly and it looks very heavy duty and well made. I'll be excited to use it in the building of my flat bed for my RAM 3500.

Overall this Installation went as I anticipated, 4-5 hours; it's not for an unprepared amateur. I strongly recommend watching the Installation Video, but more importantly, disconnecting the wiring harness (from both sides, there's 3 connectors) that cross over the rear cross member above the Differential. Disconnecting the rear exhaust was a MUST DO for us (my son helped me) as is a second person. Patience was our friend during this entire Installation for both of us. The brake line that crosses over to the passenger side was of concern to me, and got in the way as well; in the end it is below this entire installation. However there is a Mount Block on the driverside that creates a problemwith getting one bolt into place; a "Fishing Spring" (spring wire that wraps around the threads with long tail to fish/thread/pull thru the hole) would have helped to get this into place. (SEE PICTURE) Once in place the head is able to be held with a narrow spanked wrench while tightening. The rear center bolt is a HUGE challenge to reach once everything is in place and you're torquing things to spec.I had to purchase a "3/4" Crowsfoot" to get this and some of the others because of things blocking access with a socket (not talked about in the video or Installation Video). Once everything is in place and Reconnecting electrical plugs we found that there was enough gap/spacebehind the Kit Rear Cross Bar, over the vehicle rear cross member, to run the driver side electrical. Pay attention to have the "male" plug facing inboard to give you enough slack to reach the passenger side plug. A couple of zip-ties were needed to keep this inplace. See picture for how I routed this and the vent tube to avoid the heatshield. I've got a 26 foot Keystone Cougar 5th wheel RV Trailer that I be using this, along with an Andersen 3217 hitch. With this B&W Hitch I don't have the 5th wheel Rails across the bed full-time anymore of my 2022 Ram 1500DT 4x4.

I removed the ram factory gooseneck hitch and replaced it with the b& w turnover. I did have to open up the holes in the hitch for the vertical factory bolts to fit. I also had to grind down the factory bolt closest to the fuel tank in order for the release latch to slide in and out. Lastly I had to bend the release lever in a few spots to operate smoothly. Swapping the factory for b&w hitch does work for anyone considering. I did so that I could continue using my companion hitch. This was cheaper than buying the big clunky ram fifth wheel base for the puck system. The installation videos were extremely helpful and I love purchasing from etrailer.com

The B&W turnover ball has performed flawlessly over the past year. We use it on our 2019 Ram 2500 and tow a 5th Wheel using the Andersen Ultimate Hitch. I love that the ball folds down flush with the bed of the truck and can have it setup and ready to go in 30 seconds.
