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.
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.
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 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. Even a truck bed utility rack is available so that you can easily haul ladders and lumber with the load placed on the hitch (and therefore your truck's frame) instead of your bed rails.

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 sturdy product. My used 2012 F-250 came with one and now have one on my 2020 F-250, I think it's a better product than the Ford factor hitch. The installation video is VERY helpful. Torquing the bolts requires a lot strength and flexibility due to the awkward positions you have to get in but it can be done with patience and prayer. Just plan on dropping the exhaust as shown in the video. As is consistently the case e-Trailer's customer service is second to none. We've already used it several times to pull at 16' gooseneck dump trailer and it works very well.
Kale - 03/31/2021Installed on my 2019 F250 4x4. Very heavy and well made product. Design and engineered well for installation. As a DIY person I've decided to save $300 and installed this myself and the fact it was during the Corona quarantine. Somewhere I saw 2 hours labor for novice. Let me tell you that is completely inaccurate for your typical DIY person. etrailer has a great install video for a 2109 F250, but don't use that alone. Minor differences in their project truck makes major headaches for the novice installer. Follow the video, but also follow printed instructions. Watching video indicated it was a good idea to loosen exhaust. It made it look easy to do that. Video showed removing 4 bolts which was easy, but that does not loosen exhaust enough to matter. You have to remove another bracket further towards the front of the truck which is MUCH more difficult, if you can even figure out how. I spent an hour wasting time with exhaust and gave up on that part. Lot of brake lines and emissions type stuff under there to deal with also. In the end, exhaust isn't worth loosening. I did the install by myself in about 6 hours. I'm 55 yoa and 6' tall so going back and forth under the truck a 100 times wasn't much fun. A lift would have cut that install time in half. Better figure out how you are going to lift the actual receiver into place and hold it there while you get the bolts in. I used a jack with a board along with a strap thru the top tied off. Again, without a lift this is a tough job but doable. In the end happy with the install.
The BW gooseneck hitch installed great. Everything bolted together correctly. My experience with etrailer was good! I buy most all trailer equipment from them. etrailer is a good company.
Very happy with the B&W hitch I bought. Took a little longer then expected to receive but that’s probably due to everything going on. Easy to install can’t wait to pull with it
It was easy to install. Video helped more than instructions. Kit was short 4 1/2" lock washers and 1 5/16" carriage bolt. And handle had to be bent to fit. That's why I gave you 4 stars instead of 5.
Hitch arrived within three days of purchase! Easy to follow directions, heavy duty construction and seems like a nice powder coat finish. Fit as advertised.
2019 Ford F250 Super Duty - I highly recommend the B&W hitch. This is a great package for a Goose-Neck hitch installation. The fit was perfect for each piece. The video made the installation very clear. I am pretty mechanically inclined and have quite a few tools which made the install go smoother. Some long 1/2" extensions really help. The hitch lever that you put in is a bit tricky. I removed the wheel for better access. If etrailer made the hitch lever in two pieces it might help . Great product.
I installed this hitch on my 2020 F250. I have had several B&W hitches through the years and they are very good hitches. I am rating this hitch with one star because this is a turn overball but the instructions for this hitch at the end have a explicit warning that state storing the ball in the hitch can cause the ball to contact the rear end if you put a load on your truck. So the hitch is advertised as a turn over ball but you can't turn the ball over without risk of damaging your truck. If I would have known this I may have not spent my money or time installing this hitch. The warning is conveniently located on the last page of the instructions. My opinion this is false advertising and you cannot call your hitch a turnover ball if turning the ball over risks damaging the vehicle. Here is the verbiage from the installation instructions to highlight: WARNING: Inverting the ball while hauling heavy loads may cause the ball to strike the truck’s differential, drive line, or other components. Inspect the relationship between the ball and truck components to ensure the proper clearance. Failure to remove the ball when hauling heavy loads may result in property damage, injury or death. A cover to prevent debris from entering the socket while operating without the ball in place is available from B&W. Once installed it is obvious with the ball turned over the clearance between the bottom of the ball and the top of the differential is far less than the distance of the suspension to the bump stops. That prompted me to review the documentation post install. Otherwise - The install is tough if you are trying to do this with your truck on the ground. Getting a torque wrench on some of the bolts is, tough. I had to disconnect most of the rear tail pipe to make it happen. Also the clearance between the tailpipe and hitch is very very close, less than a finger tip gap. Other than that it is pretty straight forward and the parts go in to place pretty easily to loose install everything. IMO its worth every penny to let someone install it for you unless you have a truck lift and a short torque wrench at your disposal.
Simple install e trailers install video is great zero issues with hitch in the past year
Installed myself, f350 long box, tough to get to nuts/bolts over fuel tank. Remove the spare tire is highly recommended! Like the new pin release lever, beefier than the old rod style. Fords have inside frame brackets already attached, didn’t need those with the kit. Ball receiver sets flush with bottom of bed. Doesn’t quite fill the 4” hole opening.
Works perfect with the B&W hitch.
This is the second truck I have installed a B&W hitch on and the quality was great on both.
i received the hitch within 3 days. i will begin installing product today. after reading installation instructions i have decided too install the B&W hitch myself.
Great product easy installation. Me and my dad put it in. From start to finish in 1 hour maybe an hour and a half. Parts could be labeled is my only comment for easier install took a few minutes of studying part to make sure we had the right parts going in the right way. Sorry for no pic forgot to take pictures but it's a really simple process with any skill level should be no problem.
Really like the product. Easy to flip the ball and get it out of the way for hauling other things. Shipping was fast.
Excellent product and very simple to install. Everything was packed and labeled very nice. Completed the job in a couple hours out in my shop.
Looks very substantial. Instructions very easy to follow. Great product. Like the availability of the accessories, especially the companion 5th wheel. Would definitely recommend.
Great fit. Arrived complete and intact. Installed very easy. Pulling case bulldozer down the road the next day.
Perfect for my new truck. Very reasonably priced. Would definitely purchase again..
I installed MOST of this hitch by myself with the truck on the ground. Watch the installation video several times before you start the install. Also I recommend placing the release handle in place as the FIRST thing you do. Fighting to get it into place with all of the other hardware in place is difficult (not impossible). Fit and finish was excellent. I like the changes to the front and rear braces. I did another one of these hitches in a 2005 F-350 and this one was much simpler to install.
Great product and easy to install
Even with all that’s going on in the world with covid 19 I have nothing but good things to say. I ordered and B&W turnover ball for my f150 then decided to get a new f350 and needed to exchange the parts. It was absolutely not a problem at all. The speed in witch the products were shipped and then when I had to return a part and get a different one it was a pleasant and easy process. I got a phone call to verify everything that needed to be done instead of fighting with emails or recordings it was nice to talk to a person. I would highly recommend doing business with etrailer and I will be doing business with them in the future
Was a little difficult installing till I realized I was doing it wrong, short phone call got me on the right track. It has been a life saver with the reversing ball, I pulled a 40 foot flatbed trailer loaded, worked great.
As ordered, right product for truck, and fast delivery. Like that I got a personal email to confirm shipping details. Only thing I could say was it was a challenge to install solo. But I didn’t use a lift, remove any wheels or drop exhaust. Also got a little pant loss during shipping but that might have been mostly on the carrier. Really like all the help you can glean come the question/answer section on etrailer site.
This place was very good to work with. There was an issue with a part I ordered in that it was going to be 6 weeks out. They notified me a found a substitute and the total order was here in 2 days. I really appreciated Adam and his willingness to help me. etrailer is definitely on my favorites list.
