Note: If your truck's suspension has a stabilizer in between the top of the differential housing and the frame, turning over the ball and stowing it in the socket could cause damage to your truck's suspension.
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 3-1/2" 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.This thing is awesome!! Well designed and can be installed at home. I have not towed with it yet but that will change soon. Would state that two things, 1st torquing this to spec will require the right tools. Second make sure you have a new/ sharp hole saw. When installing mine I had a used while saw that walked a little. Just a cosmetic issue and the spray in Berliner will fix!!
Daniel - 05/23/2021Hitch is well built!!!!Was easy to install. The video they provide is spot on! Very satisfied all the way around! Would definitely buy again. I used a clamp to drill the pilot hole. Everything lines right up. B&W is a great product. Installed this in a 2021 Ram 2500!
Awesome Gooseneck hitch kit, appreciate Noah from etrailer with assistance in picking the proper kit. The install was not difficult for someone like myself with mechanical aptitude. Took me like 2.5 hours. Watch several YouTube videos to get different techniques and tips. Best tip was using a cargo strap to pull exhaust out of the way. Recommend etrailer show how they torque the bolts towards the front. Overall great product and customer service, thank you again
2019 Ram 2500, Cummins, w/o factory prep. Love the versatility and easy installation of the B&W 1320 turnover ball. Installed it by myself with the only the tools listed in the instructions. E-trailer's instructional video was spot on and very helpful. Can now pull gooseneck as well as drop in the companion hitch and go camping.
I installed this gooseneck hitch in my truck so I can use my single point mount B&W Companion. This installation was a little different since the truck has the factory prep package. The factory gooseneck uses four vertical bolts that go down from the top and cannot be removed without raising the bed. I left those bolts in place and reused the factory nuts and used the four B&W bolts in the horizontal positions. It worked perfectly. The only problem I had was the left front vertical mounting bolt hit one of the handle bracket bolts so I had to make some minor adjustments to the handle bracket. I also did not install the B&W chain hooks because I have the puck mount rings if I need them. The B&W gooseneck hitch appears to be much more heavy duty than the factory setup.
Good solid receiver. Straight forward install. I am a fairly competent mechanic and it took me about 3 1/2 hours to install. Bolts right up to factory crossmember no drilling cutting or welding to frame required. You’ll just have to zip tie a few wires out of the way. I would recommend removing the drivers side fender and soapy water on the exhaust hanger will make things a lot easier. I’m happy with how flush the receiver is in the bed completely flat With no obstruction of bed space at all. I did not install the chain hooks and i only plan on using it with my recon companion style fifth wheel hitch. The install was made a lot easier with a curved wrench as shown in my pictures.
This is the second truck I have utilized a B&W turnover ball on. Current truck 2019 RAM 3500 SRW without the factory tow prep. This hitch makes for an easy install and looks great. I highly recommended this product, I use mine in conjunction with the companion 5th wheel hitch and it is an awesome setup. Had the same setup on my previous Chevy 2500 and ordered my new truck without the factory prep group, so I could install another B&W because I liked it that much.
This is my third gooseneck hitch that I’ve installed, and by far the best of the three. The previous two hitches were of a different brand. The B&W hitch is by far the highest quality of the hitches that I’ve used.
Easy install with supplied template and Jig. Beautiful fit and finish and this center section is beefy to say the least. Supplied instructions are tough to follow but if you are confident enough to tackle the job then you will most likely be ok without the instructions. The video was nice to watch but i did not see it untill after i installed it. Very happy over all. 2019 ram 3500.
This seems to be very solidly constructed. It weighs around 50 lbs, but can be installed by one person being a little creative. eTrailer's installer in the video is some kind of wizard - he makes it look easy. Access is not very good, though having the truck on a lift might help. The hitch does exactly what it is intended to do - gooseneck ball up for attaching the Blue Ox 5th wheel hitch, pull the lever and turn it over in the socket to get your whole bed back when you don't need it. Just picked the 5th wheel up and towed it about 2 hours home through the mountains, and I didn't notice any movement out of the hitch setup. Kit was missing one of the mounting bolts, but eTrailer contacted B&W to get one sent right away. It showed up just in time to get the camper. Installation wasn't easy, but B&W had to work with what Ram gave them, so the design was about as good as it could be. The self-cleaning anti-seize socket and square ball base are excellent touches.
First gooseneck hitch I've ever bought and will probably be the only one I ever buy for any other truck absolutely love it install was quick and easy as well no complaints here
Great product installation was done in a short time myself will recommend it to anyone looking for a hitch.
I installed this unit in my 2019 2500, fit and finish is excellent. installation was very straight forward.
Great hitch and quicker than expected s hipping!
Great price and excellent shipping. Was my first time using etrailer and will definitely be returning. The hitch itself is very well made and easily installed by a mechanically inclined person. Would recommend this hitch and etrailer to anyone.
Works great very easy to install
Not to difficult to install on Ram 2500 diesel, it works well have had no issues.
ETRAILER IS THE BEST. B&W Makes the best Hitches. This was my 4th Turn Over
Just what we needed.
Mike - 05/23/2021The install went well. Like the mounting kit. Works well.
David B - 06/12/2020Using the goose neck hitch with my B&w companion to haul my 5th wheel. I've had this type of setup for a few years now and this us the first install I've done myself. I'm a competent mechanic but when the instructions say optional, I tend to not do it... I paid for that in this case. Drop the tire, lower the exhaust, remove the heat shield and life is a bit easier. A side note, watch your head on the spare tire holder, it hurts. All in all a fairly straight forward install. Watch for hole saw walk when cutting the hole in the bed, it tends to want to eat an area larger than what is required. Also, use a ratchet strap on the exhaust to pull it down once out of the hanger to help give the required clearance.
Very easy to install, strong, works very well. Looks professional and very neat. Much nicer than factory goose neck hitch setups. Can't get better than this hitch.
This company is what customer service is all about. Knowledgeable, professional yet personable. Seamless ordering and rapid delivery. What more could one ask for. Thank you etrailer.
Great product, very well made and heavy duty!
Great hitch. Have had many through out the years and nothing beats B&W. Easy instruction.
