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.


Operation Handle

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.

  • Underbed Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2017 Ford F-250
    For your 2017 Ford F-250 short bed without the factory OEM rail kit we do have under bed fifth wheel rail/hitch setups available. The best option would be the B and W Turnoverball rail kit part # BWGNRK1116 as it allows you to use the best slider hitch available the Companion part # BWRVK3400 and also because it doubles as a gooseneck hitch too. I attached an install video for this rail kit on a similar 2017 Ford Super Duty as yours for you to check out as well.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Base Adapter For 2017 Ford F-250 W/ B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch
    The reason the Curt X5 5th wheel Base # 16310 does not fit the 2017 Ford F-250 with the B&W Turnoverball # BWGNRK1116 installed is due to the distance the hitch sits below the bed of the truck. The # 16310 will not allow the retaining pin to be installed so it will not be usable. For your truck you will need to go with the Demco # DM6140 which is essentially the same thing, but is confirmed to fit. I included a video of the # DM6140 for you to take a look at.

  • B and W Companion Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Ford F-250
    We have just what you are looking for. The correct Companion hitch you'll need for your short bed 2017 Ford F-250 is the slider Companion part # BWRVK3400 if you do not have the factory rail kit to give you the needed turn clearance. For the rail kit you'd then need the B and W Turnoverball Gooseneck hitch part # BWGNRK1116 which is confirmed as a fit for your truck. If you have the factory rail kit you'd instead want the part # BWRVK3370 which fits the rail kit directly in your truck bed.

  • Parts Needed To Mount A B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch In The Bed Of A 2019 Ford F-250
    Hey Steve, The B&W Patriot # BWRVK3255 you have would require base rails or a gooseneck hitch and an adapter in order to mount to the bed of the F-250. If you want to go with base rails then I recommend the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # BWRVK2402. This comes with custom brackets to match up to the factory holes in your frame to make the installation drastically easier. The Patriot # BWRVK3255 will slot right into the rails and be ready to tow. If you think you'll also haul...

  • What Air Bags Work with the B&W Turnoverball Part # BWGNRK1116 on a 2018 Ford F-250
    The airbags that I recommend for your 2018 Ford F-250 are the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57399. These airbags will not interfere with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1116 as you can see in the attached photo. The Air Lift airbags will do an excellent job of improving both safety and ride quality. They are adjustable which means you can inflate each spring independently for side-to-side leveling of off-center loads. The kit comes...

  • Gooseneck Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Ford F-350 without OEM Pucks
    Hey Luis, for your 2018 Ford F-350 that doesn't have the OEM pucks you would want the B and W Turnoverball hitch part # BWGNRK1116 that is a confirmed fit for your truck. I really like the B and W gooseneck hitches as they are known to be the highest quality, easy to use, very reliable, and are made in the USA.

  • Recommended Air Helper Springs for 2011 Ford F250 Equipped With B&W Turnover Ball Gooseneck Hitch
    The Firestone # F2597 Ride-Rite system is what I'd recommend. The system is compatible with an in-bed gooseneck or 5th wheel hitch, and Firestone uses a superior roll crimp to join the bag to the upper and lower plates rather than steel bands like AirLift does. This makes for a stronger joint between the two that's much much less likely to fail over time. You might also be interested in an on-board compressor system. If the loads carried in the bed or the pin weight/tongue weight of...

  • Is BWGNRK1116 or BWGNRK1117 the Correct Fit for a 2019 Ford F-250 4x4
    The correct B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for your 2019 Ford F-250 is the part # BWGNRK1116. B&W used to list the 16 for a 2WD and the 17 for a 4WD but they had new information surface not that long ago showing that the 16 fits both 2WD and 4WD versions so that is the kit you want to use. Attached is a sample install video of this kit on a 2017 F-350 as well as a link to the installation instructions for you to check out. If you don't already have a 7-Way in the bed...

  • How to Tell if 2017 Ford F-250 has Factory Rail Kit/Factory Prep Package
    The factory rail kit is also known as the factory prep package on your 2017 Ford F-250. The difference is that the prep package includes the 4 holes plus the gooseneck hitch ball hole in the center. You can see an example of this in the attached video. If you do not have the factory rail kit (or factory prep package) then you will not have the 5 holes in your truck bed. If you do have the factory rail kit then you can just purchase the Curt Ball and Safety Chain Loop Kit # C60692 that...

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2019 Ford F-250 for Sliding Valley Fifth Wheel Hitch
    The Valley sliding fifth wheel hitch is designed to fit the industry standard fifth wheel rails so for a kit that includes those rails and is a fit for your 2019 Ford F-250 short bed I'd recommend the Reese # RP50074-58 as this is custom fit for your truck which means it installs in quite a bit less time than a universal kit and minimizes drilling as well. I attached an install video for this kit on a similar 2018 Ford F-250 for you to check out as well.

If it doesn't have pucks then you could install the Reese Under-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit # RP39FR in order to get pucks with the same spacing as Ford's OEM puck system. *Note: The inner frame brackets should already be welded to the frame. If they are not on your vehicle, you need to order part # RP27FR, sold separately.* The #...

I have attached a picture below. These come welded to the frame exactly where you described.

Since you have a short bed truck you may also want the 4" Offset Ball # BWGNXA4085 to gain you some additional turning clearance.

    Yes, Firestone airbags will work with a B&W item # BWGNRK1116 on your 2018 Ford F-350. Since you've got an F-350, I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs item # F95FV. This system has a 7,500 lbs load leveling capacity. It will keep you rear end level with the rest of your truck when you are hauling a heavy load in your gooseneck trailer. I have linked an installation video below to help you get these air bags set up. I recommend adding the Firestone...

  • 7,500 lb Air Bags For 2019 Ford F-250 4WD Compatible With Gooseneck Hitch
    So the reason you can't find a gooseneck hitch for your 2019 Ford F-250 4WD that will work with your current air bags is because all gooseneck hitches for your truck, like your B&W # BWGNRK1116, require brackets that mount to the outside of the frame. This is true for all goosenecks on all trucks, so there isn't going to be a compatible hitch. The only thing I can offer are air bags that do fit with a gooseneck, the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F95FV. I...

    The B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit # BWGNRK1116 you currently have is only designed to fit 2017 - 2022 Ford Super Duty trucks. Since your new department truck is a 2023 F-350 you need the kit # BW73FR instead.

    Yes, the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1116 will fit on your 2022 Ford F-350 long bed with a 40 gallon fuel tank. I do see Ford had several size fuel tanks up to 48 gallons depending on your exact configuration. Even if the tank you have is an aftermarket tank the manufacturers of those oversized tanks ensure they fit with in bed hitches since most their market are transporters hauling trailers.

In regards to the Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter part # RP85FR which is for a Lippert 1621, if the GVWR of the trailer does not exceed 20,000 lbs you will be fine and I can confirm this indeed the second generation design.

Probably not that noticeable and certainly not something that's been reported.
