See what our Experts say about this B and W Gooseneck Hitch

• What Year Did The Chevrolet/GMC OEM Prep/Puck System Change For The Silverado/Sierra HD Trucks?
  Yes, the puck system used on the 2016-2019 Chevy/GMC trucks is different than the pucks used on the 2020 and newer trucks. So you would need a 5th wheel like the B&W Companion # BWRVK3710 for your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 with an 8' Bed. If you are looking at a Gooseneck Ball # BWGNXA2061 this will fit both the 2016-2019, and newer trucks since the size of the mounts didn't change. It was only their position and spread that changed due to frame changes.

• Recommended Gooseneck Hitch for a 2015 Ford F-250 W/ OEM Pucks
  Hey Matthew, that would require the use of two adapters so unfortunately that is not going to be an option. Your best bet in this situation would be to use the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ford, GM, Chevy, and Nissan Titan XD Underbed Gooseneck Hitch # BWGNXA2061. This ball will drop right into your existing pucks, requiring no adapters, and has a beefy 30,000 lb towing capacity. I know it's not what you wanted to do, but in this situation I don't see another way around it. If there...

• Recommended Taller Gooseneck Hitch Ball Compatible with 2018 Ram 3500 Factory Pucks
  You are correct that the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ram Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNXA2062 is taller at 5-3/4 inches above the bed. The hitch ball is only available in the kit as you stated. I reached out to my tech contact at Curt and the kit # C60692 will allow the hitch ball to fit your Ram but the safety chain anchors will not fit your Ram pucks. So what you want is the hitch ball # C60629 (and the Ram safety chain anchors # C60617 which came with your original...

• Offset Gooseneck for 2021 Ford F-350 Short Bed With OEM 5TH Wheel Gooseneck Hitch
  The best option for you would be a B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler # BWTEXA4200. It will give you an extra 10" clearance between your trailer and the cab of your 2021 Ford F-350. This fits standard 4" diameter outer tubes. There are no offset gooseneck balls for any factory in bed towing kits. This is due to the hitch not having a locking pin that would physically prevent the ball from turning. I recommend B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061 as it is one of the simplest to...

• Can B and W Gooseneck Hitch Ball # BWGNXA2061 be Used with Andersen Ranch Hitch
  Since there isn't a latch on top of the ball of the # BWGNXA2061 you can use it with a fifth wheel to gooseneck adapter like the Andersen Ranch Hitch # AM3100 that you referenced. The other similar options that have the release lever on top of the ball can not be used with the Ranch Hitch.

• Old Sloppy Gooseneck Hitch In New 2021 GMC Sierra OEM Puck System
  Since you're going from a 2015 aftermarket system to a 2021 OEM System, I would suggest getting new components, which will take care of the slop. Sloppy components will ware away at your new components A LOT faster and that's not what we want. Get the B&W Kit # BWGNXA2061 which will fit nice and tight in your new 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 w/ OEM Prep Package. It comes in an awesome little case so when you're not using it you can store it in your truck and use your bed normally without the ball...

• Best 2022 Ford F-350 Gooseneck Hitch Ball for Towing with the Anderson Ultimate Hitch
  Thanks for reaching out, Pat! It looks like the problem has more to do with the height of the B&W Hitch Ball Kit # BWGNXA2061 as opposed to the handle getting in the way. The best option for use with the Anderson Ultimate 3320 is the Reese Elite Series Pop-In Ball Kit # RP30137 which uses a standard hitch ball height that's compatible with the Anderson ultimate.

• Recommended Gooseneck Hitch Ball Kit for 2020 Ford F-350 with Factory Puck System
  I recommend using the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061 for the factory puck system on your 2020 Ford F-350 Super Duty. I like this kit of the Curt # C60692 and Reese # RP30137 options because it uses a handle to secure the gooseneck hitch ball instead of a tab on top of the hitch ball which will be constantly rubbing against the gooseneck coupler while you're towing. The B&W option is a little more pricey but it does come with a limited lifetime warranty and is made right here...

• What Size Ball and Torque Setting Can Be Used With the Curt CrossWing
  Tim, there is not a gooseneck ball height size recommended to use the Curt CrossWing Lightweight 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C92DR, so a 2 5/16" ball # BWGNXA2061 will work fine. Curt specifies that the only thing that needs to happen is that the 20mm carriage bolt must completely protrude through the 20mm flange nut and the 20mm jam nut, and the 14mm hex head cap screws must be allowed to make contact with the gooseneck coupler. If either of these things don't happen, it means that the...

• Trouble Removing Stuck B&W Gooseneck Hitch Ball and Safety Chain Kit
  It can be difficult to remove the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ford, GM, and Nissan Titan XD Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNXA2061 if it gets stuck. This is why we recommend removing the hitch ball while not in use and applying copious of grease while in use. That said, there are not really any tricks to removing a stuck unit; applying grease, heat, and force are the best way to get a stuck hitch ball out. If the old unit is damaged during removable or becomes inoperable...

• Availability of Raised Gooseneck Ball for 2024 GMC With OEM Prep Package
  None of the options for the prep package are specifically designed to add height. Depending on the ball you have now you might be able to get a little more height out of the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061. The installed height of this gooseneck ball is 5-3/4". If you can stand to have an offset then the Curt RockerBall Multi-Fit Ball Kit w/ 4" Offset # C78ZV actually sits the highest. This has an overall height of 11-3/4" so it will sit approximately 9" above the bed when...

• Correct Gooseneck Hitch Ball to Use Blue Ox 5th Wheel Hitch Adapter with 2022 Ford F-350 OEM Pucks
  You're correct that the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061 for your 2022 Ford F-350 Super Duty will sit too high to accommodate the Blue Ox Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BLU52XR. To use the Blue Ox hitch with the OEM puck package on your F-350 you'll want to use the Hitch Ball # RP19311 instead. One of the fears of using this hitch ball is the plastic release on the top but the good thing about the Blue Ox is it uses some bolts on the bottom like clamps that secure...

• Is Offset Hitch Ball Needed For Gen-Y 5th Wheel to Gooseneck in Long Bed GMC Sierra 3500
  Hey Mark, Nope, your long bed GMC Sierra 3500 won't require the use of an offset gooseneck hitch ball with the Gen-Y Hitch 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box # GY58GR. With the gooseneck prep package you can use a standard hitch ball, the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061. The only other thing you'll need with the Gen-Y pin box is the Safety Chain with 2 Hooks # GY49GR and you're set.

• Can Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter be Used With Factory Prep Package
  Hey Steve, The factory installed prep package is compatible with the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G. What won't work is using one of the gooseneck balls with a latch on top, like the Reese # RP23FR (which comes with some of the prep packages). Reason for that is the latch contacts the nut that is inside the # CAB-C5G and it damages the ball. So to use the Convert-A-Ball you'd just need a gooseneck ball that does not have that latch, and is just a solid...

• Is B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit Compatible With Andersen 3220
  Hi Gerald; we have seen complaints in the past that the Andersen won't sit flush when used with the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061. I really like this gooseneck ball but since you're using the Andersen the Reese Elite Series Pop-In Ball Kit # RP30137 is a better option.

• What is OEM Hitch Prep for 2019 Chevy Silverado 3500 for Gooseneck
  Hey Travis, it took me a second but the OEM prep package is basically a gooseneck hitch rail system pre-installed in the bed of your 2019 Chevy Silverado 3500. If you look in the bed of your truck and see 5 holes/mounts then you have the OEM prep and you'd need a ball like the part # BWGNXA2061. Otherwise you'd need a complete hitch like the B and W # BWGNRK1016 and you'd be set.

• Is There A GM Puck System Center Gooseneck Hole Cover Available
  Hi Scott, There unfortunately doesn't seem to be a fit besides just the standard GM branded covers for their puck system. Some people have tried other 3rd party covers and messaged us stating that they don't totally fill the hole in so they were left with loose covers that will eventually work their way out, defeating their whole purpose. B&W has a gooseneck hitch ball kit # BWGNXA2061 for the puck system that includes a center cover but the cover isn't sold separately. I would reach...

• Is Convert-A-Ball Adapter Compatible With 2012 Ford F-350 With Puck System
  You can use the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter - 12" to 16" Tall - 20,000 lbs # CAB-C5G with your 2012 Ford F-350 but you will probably need a different gooseneck ball. This is not recommended for use with factory-installed towing prep packages which use a hitch ball with an integrated locking lever like. The reason for this is because the lever on the top will get damaged by the adapter. In order to be able to use the adapter without an issue you can use the B&W...

• Difference Between The B&W Companion And Gooseneck Hitch For 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Short Bed
  The difference between having a B&W Companion and the B&W Gooseneck is how your trailer will be towed. If you have the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20K, part # BWRVK3775, your 5th wheel trailer will be using a pin box. Because you will be using the pucks from the OEM prep package, it is easy to remove this 5th wheel hitch when you are not towing the trailer. The B&W Companion slides back 12" when in use to make it easier for...

• Does the B and W Gooseneck Ball Replacement for OEM Hitch Fit Turnoverball Hitch
  Sounds like you are asking if the B and W ball part # BWGNXA2061 would fit in a Turnoverball gooseneck hitch instead of an OEM hitch. The answer to that is no. This ball only fits the OEM style pop-in ball setups. For a replacement ball for a Turnoverball style hitch you'd want the part # BWGNXA2000.

• Gooseneck OEM Hitch Ball Compatible With 2020 GMC 2500
  You instead will need either the Curt Ball and Safety Chain Loop Kit for GM/Chevy/Ford/Nissan Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch - 30K # C60692 or the B&W # BWGNXA2061. I personally recommend the Curt option based on the connection style.
