The object of ordering on line is to find great deals vs local merchants. Well my experience ordering with etrailer went like this. Ordered a turnover goose neck hitch at etrailer. I entered the year, make, model and 4 wheel drive for a 2017 Ford F-250 4x4 and up pops the hitch for this vehicle and once again the page prompted me to put the info again so I did. The product took 7days to ship out and another 8 days before I would receive it. The price of the hitch was $312 dollars. Got halfway through the installation only to discover there are 6 cross members and brackets needed to complete this hitch that are not in the box but all the nuts and bolts for it are there. After a call to etrailer found out those missing pieces are part of a kit for the kit that I order for an extra $227 dollars. So you need a kit for a kit, cross members and brackets missing from the kit, really, who does this? Really aggravated now and don't want the hassle of trying to return installed parts with a restocking fee and all the other bull, I decided to just cut my losses to get this truck rolling and purchase the additional kit. But for those of you looking for a complete hitch, Draw Tite has a complete, no additional kits for around $350 bucks. My bill with etrailer was $539 dollars vs $600 at a local merchant parts and labor. Won't be ordering or recommending anyone to order with etrailer. Very disappointed.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

I am glad this gooseneck fit perfect on your vehicle. I would agree the installation is not the easiest, I have struggled through my fair share, but definitely worth saving the money. What kind of trailer will you be towing with this?

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.

The B&W Turnball Gooseneck Hitch has worked perfectly. I installed it on my F250 myself. The instructions were easy to follow. I would highly recommend this product. ETrailer made the purchase easy at a fair price.

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.

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.

Looks well built. I did watch E trailers installation, video and has, good instructions for assembly and installation haven’t got to use it yet but I had one several years ago that worked perfectly well. I think it will be a good combination with My B & w companion fifth wheel hitch thank you Joy T for all your help

This is the 2nd one of these I have bought from e-trailer and installed myself. Installation is pretty straight forward, the hitch is very heavy duty, the wiring harness/connector fit perfectly, and the transaction/pricing/fast shipping from e-trailer made it that much better.

Had one issue with a box that was ripped open by ups. Etrailer staff William S immediately responded when I notified them that I needed this hitch ASAP and I was missing one part. The part was overnighted the following day. Great communication skills! install was easy and fit perfectly. Without a doubt I will purchase any future trailer supplies from etrailer. 100%!

Their claim that it is bolt on, no drilling or welding is false. The holes on the hitch were too small for the trucks existing bolts. The B&W kit did come with the correct size bolts, but to remove the truck’s existing bolts I would have had to remove the bed of the truck.

Unfortunately, I confirmed with my tech at B&W that the locking mechanism from the Center Section for B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Hitch # BWGNRC816 is not sold independently from the rest of the assembly. This is because the locking pin is welded on to the assembly at the factory. With this being said, the only option is to purchase a replacement # BWGNRC816 for your 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty.
