With the B&W Turnoverball underbed gooseneck trailer hitch you get the best of both worlds. When you go to tow, the Turnoverball creates a sturdy, dependable connection with your gooseneck trailer. And when you're done towing, you can stow the ball upside down in the hitch to get full bed access and a clean appearance.


Easy-to-Remove, Simple-to-Store Hitch Ball

The durable steel hitch ball included with the Turnoverball system secures in the hitch with a sturdy, 5/8" thick steel pin that is incorporated into the end of the operating handle. To lock the ball in place, drop it into the hitch hole in the bed of your truck. Then rotate the handle in your driver's-side wheel well counterclockwise until the latch engages. When the latch is engaged, the spring-loaded pin on the end of the handle will be inserted all the way through the base of the hitch ball, forming a strong, solid connection and ensuring absolute security when you're towing.


B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch Operation

When you're done towing, remove the hitch ball by simply pulling the handle out as far as it will go and then rotating it clockwise until it unlatches. Remove the ball, flip it upside down, and drop it back into the ball hole of the hitch. Then reengage the latch to secure the stowed ball in place.


Unlike typical gooseneck balls - which have round bases - the Turnoverball hitch ball is designed with a square base. This makes latching the ball in the hitch easier because the base won't rotate inside of the hitch like a round base might, so lining the pin up is a snap. The base of the ball also fits tightly within the ball hole during storage. Because only the corners of the base contact the sides of the socket, any dirt or grime that gets into the hitch will fall through the socket, thus helping to prevent any buildup that could cause the ball to seize up in the hitch.


Simple, Custom Installation

This hitch is custom designed for your vehicle. The included mounting brackets bolt to existing holes in your truck's frame. While some modification is required - you will need to cut a 4" diameter hole in your bed for the hitch ball and drill holes for the built-in safety chain loops - there is no need to weld onto or to drill into your frame.


Once you have the hitch brackets and body installed, set up the operating handle. This handle is designed to be accessed from the rear driver's-side wheel well. On the end of the handle is the heavy-duty steel pin that secures the hitch ball.


B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch Accessories

B&W makes it easy to tow just about anything. With the many adapters and accessories available, the Turnoverball can be made to work with almost any gooseneck trailer. Hitch balls are available that have a built-in rise, an offset, and even a different connection type. Add on the Companion fifth-wheel hitch - which attaches directly to the Turnoverball with no other parts required - and you can tow your fifth-wheel trailer.

  • Solution for Towing a 5th Wheel Trailer with Curt Double-Lock Hitch on 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500
    While we do have other options for you, the only way to use the B&W Companion # BWRVK3500 or # BWRVK3400 is by having the entire B&W Gooseneck Hitch # BWGNRK1016 installed on your 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500 as there isn't a way to safely fit different parts of gooseneck hitches together. With that being said, I'm a little curious about the gooseneck hitch you currently have installed. Reason being that the Chevy factory gooseneck hitch would have needed all of the pucks installed as well...

  • List of Hardware/Bolts Needed for Install of B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch # BWGNRK1016
    While we don't have a replacement hardware kit we can offer you for the # BWGNRK1016 I did attach a picture that shows all of the hardware you'd need that you could source at a local hardware store. I also attached an install video link for you to check out as well.

  • Parts Needed to Convert B&W Companion to 2019 GMC Sierra 2500 w/ a Factory Puck System
    There isn't an adapter, but there is a way to convert your B&W Companion Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3400 to work in your 2019 GMC Sierra 2500 short bed with the factory puck system, which is simply to replace the base of the unit. All you need is the Replacement Slider Base for B&W OEM 5th Wheel Hitch - Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # BWRVB3770. This will allow you to attach the hitch to the puck system and is the only thing you need. I have added a link to a video review for you...

  • Comparing B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitches RVK3000 and RVK3500
    The B&W Companion RVK3000 was an early model that has a max weight rating of 18,000 lbs, adjustable height ranging from 14-3/4" - 16-3/4", and used U-Bolts for the installation. The B&W Companion # BWRVK3500 was upgraded so that the weight rating is now 20,000 lbs, has a higher adjustable height range of 16-1/4" - 18-1/4" (which is more common), and has a single point for mounting which makes it easier to use. It wasn't that the older systems were bad, B&W just saw where they could make...

  • What Puck System Does My 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500 Have?
    I would be happy to help you sort out what system is in the bed of your 2018 Chevy Silverado. I can tell you with 100% certainty that you do not have a B&W puck system because B&W uses the Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck System item # BWGNRK1016 to attach their 5th wheel hitches and it only has a square gooseneck hole in the center of the truck bed. If your truck has a gooseneck center hole and 4 puck shape circles in a square around it you most likely have the OEM puck system that came...

  • Recommended UnderBed Gooseneck System for a 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500
    Between the B&W and Curt underbed systems for your 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500, I recommend the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit item # BWGNRK1016 based on B&W's reputation in the towing business, their amazing customer service, and warranty. The Curt EZr Double Lock Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch item # C611-624 has an identical towing capacity to the B&W at 30,000 lbs and installs in basically the same way. They both include a gooseneck ball,...

  • Recommended Reese Goose Box and B&W Offset Ball
    This is definitely a good option for towing. It makes the coupling quite a bit easier and will not require the use of a large, heavy fifth wheel hitch. That being said, installing the Reese Goose Box # RP85FR will of course depend on your pin box, but the height is personal preference. It never hurts to have a little more room, however, so I tend to recommend not going all the way up when installing. Though I couldn't find anything with the numbers you pulled from your pin box, I did, however,...

  • Is There a Taller Gooseneck Ball Available for B&W Turnoverball Hitch
    There are two options you can use for a bit of added height when using your B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Hitch # BWGNRK1016. You can get an extra 1" by using the High-Rise Ball for B&W Turnoverball # BWGNXA2050. You can also use the B&W Turnoverball with 4" Offset # BWGNXA4085, which is roughly 5-3/4" tall (1-11/16" taller) from the base of the truckbed to the top of the ball. This gooseneck ball has a 4" offset, so it will move the hitch ball 4" further away from your truck cab,...

  • B&W Turnover Ball Gooseneck Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500HD
    I did some checking and you'd have to replace the entire hitch for your 2017 Chevy Silverado 3500. Looks like the center section for either truck is different as well as the side brackets. So only option we have would be the part # BWGNRK1016 to replace the entire assembly.

    No, the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box item # GY38FR is not going to do anything to help with turning clearance. I do have a solution though. Since your 2017 GMC Sierra 3500 has the B&W item # BWGNRK1016 you can use the 4" Offset Ball item # BWGNXA4085 to get some extra turning clearance.

Since you're looking at the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer # BWGNRK1016 it doesn't sound like you have the prep package.

  • B&W 5th Wheel Will Not SIt Flat in the Bed of a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
    If the underbed gooseneck hitch will not move to change the hitch height, then you will have to alter the plastic feet on the 5th wheel that rest on the bed of the truck. The crown or rise in the bed of the newer GM trucks is not same across the board on every model. With this in mind, B&W advises to use a 6 foot level to find exactly where the crown in the bed is on your truck. At that point you will need to grind on the plastic rail under the 5th wheel's where it rests on the bed of...

This kit by itself serves as a complete gooseneck hitch system. When you need the bed empty for cargo the entire hitch can be removed for full access.
