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.The Hitch came faster than expected It took about 2 hours to install thanks to etrailer's [on-line video]instructions very happy
Brent F - 07/30/2020Love the new hitch. Easy to install on my new truck so I can continue to pull my trailers and 5th wheel with my companion hitch as well. Etrailer is my go to for towing needs.
Sean A - 05/02/2021I just finished installing my turnover ball hitch and companion hitch adapter. I am impressed with the quality and simplicity of this design. It's obvious that this setup was built in the USA!!!
Using this product in conjunction with an Anderson fifth wheel hitch. Works great! Haven't had any issues. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a solid Goose neck hitch.
Zack P - 02/06/2021This was very simple to install and all the templates we perfect. We (my son and me) installed this in 2 hours taking our time. This is very well built and everything lines up perfectly.
John B - 10/30/2020It was easy to install and works great, glad I got it.
I replaced the RAM stock gooseneck hutch with this B&W as the stock hitch started to move around when towing and I liked the more positive way the pin holds the ball in on the B&W.
The E-trailer videos and instuctions are great! I would suggest going ahead and removing the spare tire heat shield to make life easier with the torque wrench and when drilling the safety chain holes. The other item I am glad I caught before installing my hitch is the size of the hole they want you to use. B&W suggest a 3-1/2" hole and provide a plastic spacer to kinda hide the gap, I didn't like the idea of how this was going to look. I still installed the plastic spacer to support the bed around the hole, but I used a 3-1/4" hole saw and very lightly filed the edges for a much better fit. (Just make sure you hit your pilot hole location.) Test fit the hitch from the top side when checking the hole size. When installing, tighten the bolts to where the hitch just starts to make contact with the frame and then go top side and check hitch/hole alignment. Tap the hitch around with a mallet if you need to line it up with the hole. (Once the hitch was tight it didn't protrude through the bed anyways, so the hole could have been small and still worked). After removing the exhaust hanger, I used a ratchet strap to pull the tail pipe towards the spring to allow access to drill the passenger side safety hook holes. Another tip, I used a piece of rope tied to the ball retaining pin and fed it up through the hole in the bed. My 11 year old son was able to hold it in place this way while I started the bolts. I am happy with the end results and it looks great! The one thing I feel could be better is how far the ball retaining pin protrudes into the second side of the hitch housing, on mine I only have about 1/4" into the second side. I would feel better with 3/8"-1/2" engagement.
Lee W - 10/03/2017B and W makes the best products. I am willing to pay a little extra to buy B and W over other manufactures as the quality and build is outstanding. I bought this item as well as their 5th will puck hitch. Couldn't be happier, works exactly like its supposed to. One note is on my previous Ram I had the factory gooseneck and the ball would spin in the hitch, wearing it out. On the truck I have now, I specifically bought it without the factory hitch so I could put B and W's hitch in which is MUCH better!!
I love this setup. It didn't take me long to install it. Everything went super smooth. If your needing a hitch get this!!!
The installation was easy to do in my drive way and the customer service was great getting my hitch ordered and shipped for me. I would recommend etrailer to anybody wanting to buy a hitch.
Easy install using factory holes. Works perfectly. About 1 hour install.
etrailer not only have a great procedure for online trading or online store, but also a great website....people on similar business can appreciate that as per other this feature can be transparent for them...it takes a great effort of team work to accomplish what this level of a,b,c,d online process to be done the way of etrailer has done. The products are simply well described, well packed, fast shipping. Whether is in stock or direct ship from manufacture, they make it look like is nothing..to me another great team effort and well though software architecture. As often we find instructions from manufacture to be some confusing, etrailer back it up which bunch of literature and videos to easy the process. Device recommendations: I strongly recommend that anyone purchasing this item to purchase also the harness kit, installation is plug and play and it looks part of another factory install. Cons: The part where every instruction or videos said "remove the clamp of the exhaust pipe to move exhaust pipe over" I found that is extremely difficult to accomplish that procedure on a 2014 3500 Ram with a Diesel Engine which it has the extra exhaust regeneration device or so call DPF...where fuel exhaust particles are burn, etc. that makes my vehicle exhaust to be solid almost one foot before reaching my rear end axle, meaning location where I need to be working installing my under bed gooseneck hitch. I did not removed any exhaust clamps and I simply got me a short 22 mm and tight my bolts with a wrench and a hammer. NOTE: ABS harness bracket it looks like is going to be rubbing against the hitch and it is extremely close, but it does not once bolts are tight you will have about 1/2 clearance (will not rub). Last comments, everything fits and everything goes where is says instructions, do not remove your bed of cut your truck in half..jejejejej Good luck, hope I help someone God Bless
This is a great product. Installation was quite involved, but well worth the effort. We have it on a truck with a liftgate. Making the bed flat with the turn over ball is perfect for us.
We've traveled cross country, twice, and over 10,000 miles towing and this has been the best hitch we've had yet. The roads aren't smooth and the 16,000 lb of our fifth wheel has ridden smooth and without chucking/bumping. We have the steel version and very glad we decided to purchase this hitch instead of the typical saddle type 5th wheel hitch we've used before. The captured photo attached is from our rear dash cam while transporting.
The B&W Turnover ball hitch kit for my 2014 Ram 3500 was very well engineered to fit precisely in my truck's frame and appeared to be well constructed in all respects. It was definitely no cake walk in the installation department and not recommended to be taken on by a non professional unless you are confident in your mechanical skills. I did it alone. The directions recommend the job be done by two. Good advise. The directions described a couple of things as "optional", like removing the spare tire and heat shield and removing exhaust donuts. Definitely NOT optional! But all in all it went well, turned out excellent. Great American made product, and has my seal of approval.
This is the first product in a very long time that actually exceeded my expectations. First of all it is Made in the USA. Second, it was clearly made by people who not only know what they're doing but take great pride in their work as well. The fit and finish were perfect. I watched B & W's install video on YouTube and was again pleasantly surprised that it was relevant to the exact product I bought. Installation was very straight forward and, again, there were no surprises as between the video and the included instructions B & W had all their bases covered. Even though I didn't have extra help nor B & W's installation tool I was able to innovate with some 5/8" threaded rod and a couple nuts I had laying around. Everything fit together so perfect I was able to complete the installation in around 2 hours with a not-fully-recovered ruptured disc in my back. I have had this in my truck for several months now and I still think it's absolutely fantastic. It is hell for stout and simple to operate. Thank you so much B & W! Lets also not forget etrailer. It almost goes without saying that their service and shipping are prompt and courteous.
We've been running this B&W hitch for 18 months now and love it. The install is much easier on the 2013+ Rams compared to previous generations that needed the added cross-members. Just be prepared to spend a bit of time drilling through the factory cross-member for the safety chain anchors.
Ordered the same time as I ordered the B&W Companion 5th Wheel: Ordered from E-Trailers.com and the prices was the best experience. George called to let me know that my order was possessing at be would be sent. Didn't expect the at call.. The order arrived and it was all perfect. Installed without any problems. This was the best purchase online I have ever made.. thanks George J.
Great people to work with. Helped med out in a pinch and got a gooseneck hitch delivered to me extremely fast. Nice to talk with someone with knowledge about their products. Can't thank you enough.
This hitch went on just like it says. Did not have to remove spare tire or the heat shield....but you will have to pry the exhaust out of the hangar but that is no problem at all. If you have access to a lift that will help a great deal. I put truck on lift and with a friend helping we had it on in about 1 1/2 hours.....Great hitch.
Very satisfied with this product. Getting ready to put it to work. Also purchased the gooseneck wiring harness, only issue was that The mounting part was damage. This does not interfere with it’s function so overall happy with these items.
I have never installed a product like that before but with a friend of mine about an hour and a half5 holes to drill very easy had to move nothing in my vehiclefar superior than the other hitches on the market
B & W know what they are doing, great hitch! Installs even easier than they lead you to believe and the finished product is top notch.
Adam - 05/07/2019Well constructed, fits perfectly, I installed it myself in less than 1/2 a day. With most the time spent taking things apart and back together on the truck. The hitch took just over an hour! Ready to start pulling the trailer.
