Best 2016 Ford F-150 Gooseneck Hitches

I love this hitch, I am 72 yrs. old, and I installed it myself in 4 hours. no missing parts and everything fit as it should.

I've had this installed for a almost a year, and it works great. I added the 4" off-set ball because I have a short-bed F-150 truck, and the off-set centers the weight above the axel. I like the B&W design, because the receiver is a square, and minimizes rattle. There are cheaper options, but they don't have the square interface. The added cost is well worth the additional security. I have comfortably towed at the 10,000 lbs limit of my truck, and have accumulated more than 1,000 miles over the last year.

It mounted perfectly in my 2015 F150. Getting the rubber seal on, was a chore. Torquing the bolts was tricky in confined spaces under the truck and in the wheel well, but it can be done with a 2' torque wrench and all bolts are reachable. 1-2 clicks at a time. There's no way this is a 90 minute job for a novice, especially without a lift. Plan on 4 hours. the 43.5" measurement adding 1/8" with bedliner is dead on. Measure 3 times to be sure. The instruction are good, but it's easier to follow the installation video.

It's worked flawlessly for over 15k miles pulling an 8500lb 5th wheel trailer with my F150. I had U-Haul install it because it is basically a two-man job, but I'd do it myself if I had to do it again. REMINDER, be very precise when measuring and cutting the hole on the truck bed.

Great hitch! I put this on my 2021 F-150 LB to tow our 10k lb fifth wheel and it worked exceptionally. I love how the ball can hide away to let you use the full bed for other things. Took about two hours to install, including cutting the holes and painting them. You'll want two people for this install. I paired this with an Anderson Ultimate Connection gooseneck hitch and Roadmaster Active Suspension system and my little 3.5l V6 1/2 ton towed this trailer with ease.

Unit installed and pulled my fifth wheel to provincetowne Mass. Unhooked and pulled the ball out and picked up some firewood. Nice flat surface. Love it. Only way to go.

Great value and durability. Self install in about 3 hours and has remained solid since then. Put in about 10k miles towing a 31 foot trailer with it.

I purchased this to pull a 25Ton GN trailer with heavy equipment and so far it works great! Good price point and reliable product. I would highly recommend this product and trailer. Thank you!

Great product, handled my 18,000lb GVW 5th Wheel with-out issues. Fast delivery and great customer service too!

Your product has met all of my expectations. It fit my truck as you said it would. I am going to pull a fifth wheel with it.

Very good service and parts fit perfect , Thank for your help

etrailer does not have free returns, one year later this is still sitting in the box. I will never buy from etrailer again.

I really like the convenience of this interchangeable hitch. I have the fifth wheel hitch and the goose neck hitch.

Had to hit one of my rails with a 2 lb sledge just a fuzz to let the tab drop in. The locking tabs are a good idea for the pins. I put my late grandfather’s old classic padlock from his jon boat on one of the tabs. A little nostalgia.

Awesome gooseneck Hitch!!! Easy installation !!!

Works great, haven't had any issues with it. Easy to install.

Difficult to determine installation ease, as I had the bed off my truck while installing. That made it very easy, but instructions were good and its a straightforward process. Very well made, and fit precisely on my truck. I think the B&W system is very tough to beat. Solid and dependable. And their after sale customer service is excellent.

Great service and a great product! Quick delivery and good communication regarding status. Of course it’s a great hitch, it’s a B&W…

I like the hitch but when ai am pulling my trailers, and I am moving them around at low speeds it seems that there is a good amount of movement in the hitch and the feel in the truck. I’m not sure what that is but I have used trucks that didn’t have that feel in them but mine definitely does. We followed all directions and torqued all bolts to the required amount. Maybe someone can shed some light on what that maybe. Thanks

The kit arrived in two days. The quality is very good. All the parts fit as described. We were able to install it in a few hours without a lift. We plan on pulling a 14,000 # trailer to move farm equipment. This trailer will replace an old 12,000# pintle hitch trailer. I would definitely recommend this kit to others.

Excellent hitch for maintaining full access to your bed when you aren’t towing. Solo installation took about one afternoon. I recommend using a hole saw for the 4 inch big hole and a step drill for the safety chain bolts. The hitch bolted to existing factory holes in the frame as advertised. I was impressed that I could still buy something that fit like this for my 1995 F-250.

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.

Unfortunately I'm not very happy with the service. I ordered a item from your website and it premised delivered on one date and I received it 4 days after that.. I needed on the date it was promised. I called the company and basically I was told, sorry. You can pay for it to be sent back.. So now it just sits in garage, cause I found another one at a trailer store, cause I was in need of it. Also, the box it came in was all torn up and taped together.

The kit appears very heavy duty and built to work. Excited for when I get to put it work pulling a stock trailer with cattle, and whatever else I can find for it.

I got a reduce price on a B&W weld in five wheel ball mount do to cosmetic scathing on tow ball which was almost non excestant save 65 dollars as usual B&W makes the most high qaulty parts and e trail are always excellent shipping was faster than they said. Thx again for passing on the savings to the customer

Came in a timely manner, about a week from the time I ordered it to it delivered to my door step in Alaska. The hitch itself is very high quality with nice clean welds and sharp clean edges which took almost no prep work to weld in to the frame I had built for it. You could tell by looking at this that B&W uses nice welding equipment and employs quality welders. Overall very happy with this. Installed on Monroe flatbed on F-450 cab and chassis truck.

Great hitch! I'm a pretty avid do it yourselfer so I did the install myself and it was relatively simple. The directions that came with the hitch had all the information I needed. It works well with my trailer and the quality seems to be pretty good. It's pretty low profile while you're not using it as well. Overall very happy with it. A couple of install notes for squarebody Chevy, GMC trucks which is what I installed mine on: You will need to lift the bed off the frame just enough to slide the hitch between the bed floor and the top of the frame rails so if your truck is rusty like mine, you may want to have new bed mount hardware on hand before you start in case you have to cut the old bolts to get them out. Also, the safety chain loops land right on the ridges in the bed floor so they don't recess completely flush even when they're not in use but so far it hasn't been a problem for me. I saw that mentioned in some other reviews on here so I already knew before I bought the hitch.

Installation was straight forward and it's well built. Works smoothly. etrailer was awesome as usual with shipping and service. However.... ;) on the BWGNRK1400 for '73-'87 GM trucks, the predrilled holes in the hitch for the safety chain u-bolts are 6-1/4" each way from center of the ball. This places the matching holes you have to drill in the truck bed on the sloped edge of the ribs, not in the center of the valley as intended. The instructions read as if the holes are not pre-drilled but they are, so I contacted B&W and asked if I can drill new holes at 8-3/4" each way of the ball so that they center in the next valley and they said no, that will void the warranty. So I had to do some bodywork, cut, weld and grind to scallop the ribs around the anchors to they won't always be sticking up (defeating the flat floor intent of this hitch design). I saw guy on [online] noted this was an issue on his squarebody bed as well. B&W needs to look at this dimension for future installations to help out the next guy.

I think this hitch is great, it was kind of hard to tighten the bolts that are for the chain hooks but after a year it has held up great and nothing is loose on it. I haul our 14k equipment trailer multiples times a week and a 22k gooseneck with our backhoe at least once every two weeks in between jobs. I also use it to move our 5th wheel with an attachment and it pulls really smooth. The only thing is the dust covers won’t stay on but it’s fine I just vacuum them.

I love it. Has worked flawlessly since being installed. Install directions were good with step by step instructions that were easy to follow. If there was any one thing I would knock, it would be the boxes were pretty well destroyed when it got delivered, but that is t necessarily etrailer’s doing. Nothing was missing and all parts were individually packaged. Solid, sturdy, well constructed. Highly recommend for anybody wanting to add a puck system/gooseneck ball to there HD GM truck.

When I placed my order I was given the option of taking a slightly used item for a nice discount. It arrived and looks BRAND NEW! I am happy once again for the quick service and great products from etrailer.

Excellent . I love this whole unit. As a single woman I really appreciate the case to hold the hitch and tie down rings. When I need to use the gooseneck in my truck it's quick and easy to install. When I need the full bed to haul hay and bags of grain, the hitch can be stored away under the back seat in my truck. Very bpkeased with the quality.

I was very satisfied from ordering to instillation. Great people and very concerned about your satisfaction. Instructions were complete and easy to follow. Saved approximately 50% in cost. Thanks etrailer

I love my hitch . I love how I can turn it over and I can still have use of the full truck bed. I could of bought a cheaper hitch but the quality is by far better than other hitches I have owned in the past. Customer service was great after they helped me fix my ordering mistake. Very happy with my hitch.

It did what I needed it to do and the videos were helpful especially when having to drill the hole in the bed.

These units are easy to install and easy to use for both ball and 5th wheel towing. Putting it on a ‘97 F350, found all the holes aligned perfectly. Made it possible to switch vehicles to tow a 5’r using the companion hitch.

I installed the Curt gooseneck on my 1993 GMC 2 Wheel Dr. 2500 truck. All the components have tight tolerances. It took me eight hours. With a socket and the wrench. Laying on my back. I did have to cut the wheel well lip about 3/8 of an inch off because I could not get that front angle bar to slide in without hitting it, no way around it unless you lift the bed up and I wasn’t going to do that!!. You have to cut it.instructions do not state that. I’m very happy with the Hitch, it is definitely stout! I did have to make a notch on the outside brackets to go over my airbag bolt. I also had to remove the support bracket on the inside of the frame for the airbag and the crossmember for the spare tire to get the front angled bar in.
