Features to know about

Built for Heavy Loads: 30,000 lbs GTW and 7,500 lbs Vertical Load

Rated to handle up to 30,000 lbs gross towing weight and 7,500 lbs vertical load, this underbed hitch is made for serious towing. The single-piece, machined ball socket gives you a rugged, solid connection that stays tight when pulling heavy livestock trailers, equipment haulers, or large fifth wheels. The square ball base prevents rotation inside the hitch during hookup so everything lines up cleanly and stays stable under load.

Full Bed Access When You're Not Towing: Flip-Over Ball Design

When the trailer’s unhooked, pull the handle, flip the 2-5/16" ball upside down, and drop it back into the hitch for storage. The ball sits flush below the bed surface so your truck bed is wide open and ready for gear or materials. This setup lets you switch between towing and hauling in minutes without a hitch taking up space in the bed.

B&W Turnoverball underbed gooseneck hitch showing how the hitch ball flips over for storage in the truck bed receiver, allowing full bed access when not towing.

Quick Lock and Release from the Wheel Well: 5/8" Pin with Square Base

The operating handle sits at the rear driver’s-side wheel well so you can lock or release the hitch without climbing into the truck bed. A 5/8" thick spring-loaded steel pin slides through the ball to secure it in place for towing. The square ball base keeps it from turning in the socket, and when stowed, its “corners only” fit helps keep dirt and grime from packing inside. Built-in spring-loaded safety-chain loops are easy to reach and ready when you need them.

Simple Custom Installation: Bolt-On Kit with No Welding

The included custom mounting kit bolts to existing holes in the truck frame for a clean installation—no welding or bed removal needed. You’ll just need to cut a 4" diameter hole for the hitch ball and drill holes for the safety-chain loops. Once installed, you’ve got a heavy-duty underbed hitch that’s ready for gooseneck towing and can be adapted for fifth-wheel towing with B&W accessories (sold separately).

Galvanic corrosion limiting tape included in B&W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch installation kit for added corrosion protection during setup.

Install this heavy-duty hitch on your vehicle so that you can securely tow your gooseneck trailer. Store the removable ball upside down in the hitch when you aren't towing to get complete bed access. Square ball base won't turn in hitch.

Great for gooseneck addition. My truck had the rail system installed by the previous owner and it made my bed hard to organize things as well as being in the way for loading supplies. Getting it out and putting in a turnover ball has made my bed more useable.
I don’t have a lifting device in my carport, so I used a ratchet strap around the pin and a four wheeler ramp to lift it up and hold it in place during the bolting portion of the install.

On. Another note, there is a hole template in the box for where you need to drill the holes for the chain tie down points. It was upside down in my box so I didn’t see it until after I was done. So I drilled up from the bottom with small bits to get the holes where I needed them. Then used larger bits from the top down.
Also you do need to remove the spare tire(not optional). I backed my truck up on a set of ramps and am glad that I did for the extra room to sit up and work under the truck. Not always on my back. I did find that bending the heat shield out of the way helped, but if you do that, make sure to remember to bend it back into place when you’re done.

The hitch is beefy and seem to be very strong. My guess is the truck frame will give before the hitch. Great quality. I very happy! I'm an above average backyard mechanic and found the installation doable, but a little of a challenge. Differently need a help. My wife was a big help. I use a 2X4 across my bed and a ratchet strap to lift and hold the center section in to position. I also had to reposition my exhaust pipe where it goes over the differential to get some clearance. Also, I had to drill out one of the square holes in the tailpipe L bracket to receive the factory bolt.

Easy installation and works perfectly



by:

etrailer provided all the information I needed to choose this B&W gooseneck hitch setup for my truck.  The parts I ordered got to me quickly and well packed, it fit great with great instructions included.



by:

Installation was not bad at all. Great quality!



by:

Perfect fit, I wouldnt go as far as to say it was an easy install, qbout 4 hours on 2025 f350. But definitely better then the 1000 bucks the dealer wanted to charge me to install. Then the 1200 bucks he wanted for exact same hitch... Well worth the savings, suck it up do yourself.



by:

I was impressed how well all the pieces fit as well as the detailed instructions that were fairly easy to follow. I followed it step-by-step and although it took me a couple hours, I was very pleased with the finish product.



by:

This is a great hitch and has performed well over the past year. The install was somewhat simple, my only complaint is that the release handle would be better on the passenger side of my 2021 Ram 2500 to eliminate being so close to all the brake lines.
Overall this is a solid product and I am happy with it.



by:

This kit has been great for my Super Duty. etrailer’s installation was perfect and I couldn't be happier with the hitch and service.



by:

My gooseneck hitch and companion fifth wheel arrived early. Install was straightforward. Absolutely thrilled with the way it turned out!!!



by:

Still works great a year later! Ball still turns over, even got some use with a 5th wheel companion thing and works awesome!



by:

Extremely well made and very beefy. Installation video made the process very smooth. Only install issue related to the handle in the fender well. My truck has an inverter and the heavy cable going to the 110 outlet in the bed ran right over the area the handle is supposed to go when it is to be moved to the left or front of the truck. Once I figured out the problem I was able to zip tie the cable out of the way just enough to free up the handle to release the turnover ball. Have towed a new 5th wheel using a gooseneck adapter and it worked perfectly. Very pleased with the turnover ball system.



by:

This is a very stout, well-engineered and manufactured hitch. It is made in USA,the build quality is impeccable and I know for sure it is stronger than the vehicle frame it was installed on. I got the kit #1067 for my 2005 silverado 2500. It fit fine except the under-box hitch frame was slightly too thick to fit in the space under the box floor so I had to unbolt and lift the box slightly. The instructions have a youtube video supplement, which is nice. However, they didn't always specify how the bolts and washers should be oriented so I had to redo a few to get the pattern that fit well and used up all the washers.

It's been great. Not a single hitch, no pun intended. I was able to figure out ways to install this thing by myself even on the parts where the instructions said to have 2 people. Been towing with this thing all year, 24 foot tilt deck gooseneck, no problem. 100% recommend.

Perfectly fit

Great product and service. Quick delivery and instructions were pretty easy to follow.

Well, the hitch itself is fantastic. What more can you say about a great product great company love it. Installation made easy as possible because of E Trailer their support has been fantastic between me putting it in and even experience a slight issue where my box was opened and I was missing a bolt. Oh by the way, if you are installing one of these, the measurement you need is in the instructions even if it’s hard to read do not make my mistake in ChatGPT go ahead go onto E Trailer they actually have a really good video and you’ll see that you hook onto to the end of your trailer. Well, excuse me the end of your truck bed and pull from there. ChatGPT screwed me, but Trailer did not.

@ChristopherH great question thanks for asking. I am getting an older 2010 escape 5.0 single axle fifth wheel camper. In fact you guys have been helpful with me on that on in a different way for whatever reason I wasn’t able to obtain the information he needed to from escape as far as the brake goes the trailer itself is in Tennessee and I’m in New York. The escape form was really helpful and by the way, the travel trailers typically have an identification number stamped on. as far as the brake goes the trailer itself is in Tennessee and I’m in New York. The escape form was really helpful and by the way, the travel trailers typically have a identification number stamped on them and if you call the manufacturer, you can get all the information which is what I did then I called you guys back and should be getting a set of brakes sent to me very soon. ?????? it’s my first travel trailer and first fifth wheel.

  • How To Keep The B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Clean When You Can't Store The Ball In The Hitch
    Hi Paul! You are correct in that you cannot store the ball in the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit - 30,000 lbs # BW96FR when installed on your 2026 Toyota Tundra i-Max Limited. The reason for that is there is a very high probability of the ball making contact with your differential, which would be bad.

  • Solution for Adding 5th Wheel Hitch to 2024 Toyota Tundra Limited
    Newer Tundra trucks like their 2024 Toyota Tundra Limited don't have rail kits available. I believe it has something to do with the composite beds which is why you don't see anything after 2021. The only solution I can offer is to sell the Reese hitch and add the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BW96FR. They could use this with the Companion # BWRVK3400-5W (which would be a really nice upgrade) or switch to some other kind of gooseneck system.
