B&W makes great products. I'm very happy with the gooseneck ball and safety chain attachment points. I had their 1st gen. gooseneck ball on an old truck that didn't have the handle, and it's sure nice to have a handle.1481467

The is the best ball on the market for the puck system, don't have to worry about getting Greese on your hands because of the handle the B&W puts on the ball hitch. Glad I chose this set.1421655
Comments
Another benefit....unlike other gooseneck balls for the OE puck system, the latching handle is not located at the top of the ball where it can be damaged if you miss a bit when trying to hitch up.

Easy to install, corrosion free, excellent storage case, keeps the truck bed usable when kit not in use. Currently used with Reese Goosebox on my Keystone Montana Fifth Wheel. Because the ball is a bit higher than standard be sure to adjust height you install the Reese Goosebox so trailer is level when hitched. I did not but, satisfied with extra clearance to truck bed rail it provides.1450554

It is a great product and I am very glad I made the investment. I pull a 26' gooseneck trailer behind a Ford F350. Works great if hauling hay or equipment. I really like the ease of removing and storage. It is worth the money!1188559

After using the B&W Hitch Kit for a year, I have nothing but praise for this product. It is well worth the investment. Thanks etrailer.com!

None better. This drop in gooseneck ball has dragged my trailer halfway across the US and back. 20k skid steer on me back. Double thumbs up1492711

Star rating: would give 6 stars for excellence +, but, alas, I am stuck with 5 being the max. rating. This may sound overly enthusiastic, as it is often better to leave room for improvement, but with you guys everything is so well documented and explained in the videos on the web, it's like I'm right there on the premises talking to an etrailer tech... so the entire shopping experience feels like this perfect package. Leaves me with nothing but to say, keep up the excellent work.1252328
Well engineered and easy to use product. Basically what you've come to expect from B&W. Excellent customer service from etrailer.com1507378

I have owned two different B&W hitches very high quality American made! would consider this brand first always!1486458
by: Jim 09/18/2022
The lock handle makes the difference. The B&W may be a little more money but why would anybody want to get grease on their hands installing or removing it. The others lock in the top of ball. B&W locks by the handle. ITS THE HANDLE PERIOD.1413525

Very solidly built, very snug fit. Even includes a center hole rubber cap (would be nice to go ahead and include 4 5th-wheel hole caps as well, but…).1407677

This system is soooo easy to use. etrailer had a good price and made it easy to order on the web, definitely recommend the company and the product for anyone that has this style of hitch1042522

This product works as well as the day I bought it. It has towed a 20,000 pound trailer over 5000 miles and never had a glitch. Great product, would definitely purchase again.

I bought this one over the Curt because the video reviewer thought this unit was a tighter fit into the platform. The one I got is somewhat loose in the new Chevy I have, so I don't know if the ball is undersize or the truck is oversize. I guess I need to look for some specs somewhere. Otherwise the parts look great. Hope to be using them soon. Nice to have a good carrying case, so I store these hitch parts in the camper until I use them.1363409

B&W GN ball and chain. Well made, nice case, quality materials. Shipped quickly. Fantastic website. Easy to navigate. Lots of pictures. Excellent videos with reviews and “how to”. Good prices. Highly recommend etrailer for all towing needs! Will definitely be back.1423593

This is an awesome product and easy to use. The storage case it comes with is a plus! Would definitely recommend.1281854
Regarding the product, this kit is the best; however, this particular order was not for my truck so I had to return for exchange of correct item for Ram. I've been long time customer of etrailer and live locally to where the company is located. My trailers are stored at a location where I pretty much have to drive by the etrailer distribution warehouse on my way. etrailer would not allow me to simply stop by as I always had been able to in the past to exchange the ball kit. I had to pay for shipping this one back and had to wait several days to get the correct one. I have not done any business with etrailer since this time ... and don't know if I ever will since this was not the only problem with the order.1501783

Also have the Curt (GM OEM). Prefer the B&W as easier/cleaner to add/remove. The B&W chain hooks are big enough to allow passthrough of cable safety "chain" hooks where the Curt were not. Works great after a year of towing a 3 horse steel gooseneck trailer.954971

Still my preferred hitch for the reasons originally stated. Quick to installremove and solid in the receptors.

I received my items by UPS. Nice. Especially when UPS delivered them to my back door. Hey. I will know more when I start using the items.1487884
The recommended clearance between the rear bumper on your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and the body on your 2017 Grand Design Reflection is about 16" - 24" so it sound like you are good. There are also a few other clearance measurements you need to consider which I have attached a photo of for you.
If you need more vertical clearance then you may want to consider using the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit part # BWGNXA2061 as it has a high rise gooseneck hitch ball but they don't make anything... view full answer...
First thing to try is soaking the hitch ball in as much WD-40 that you can so that you can hopefully free it up. Let it sit overnight and maybe hit it with a rubber mallet as well. The next thing you can try is putting the weight of a gooseneck trailer on it to see if that releases whatever is binding the ball up. view full answer...
The recommended minimum clearance between gooseneck trailer overhang and truck bed rails is 4-6 inches. I'd recommend 6 inches but a lot of people get by with just 4. Ideally you have at least 6 inches of clearance and the trailer is sitting totally level. view full answer...
I went out to the warehouse and found that the height of the hitch ball in the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061 for your 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 measured 5-3/4" from the bottom of the platform to the top of the hitch ball. I have attached a photo demonstrating this for you. view full answer...
For your 2020 Ford F-350 with the factory puck system, your best option will be with the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061. The hitch ball included with this kit, which is designed to drop right into that center puck on your F-350, is the tallest compatible option available. From the truck bed floor to the top of the ball there will be a height of 5-3/4". For reference this is about 5/8" taller than the Curt alternative.
This B&W kit also includes the two safety chain hookups... view full answer...
I really like the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061 for the OEM puck systems like what you have on your 2022 GMC Sierra 2500. The other gooseneck hitch balls work too but they have the latch integrated into the top of the hitch ball and sometimes the coupler can damage the latch. Since the latch is external on this hitch ball you never have to worry about that plus it doubles as an easy way to carry the hitch ball. view full answer...
The B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ford, GM, and Nissan Titan Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch item # BWGNXA2061 sits 5 3/4" above the bed of your truck. I have linked a diagram. Depending on which Demco 5th Wheel hitch you are using this gooseneck ball will most likely be in the way. It is removable and comes with a handle to make it easier so you will have no problem utilizing both for their separate functions. view full answer...
I recommend the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit, # BWGNXA2061 for the 2022 Ford F-350 Super Duty with OEM Package. It has an integrated handle for easy removal of the ball and a 30K towing capacity. All of the internal and external components are plated or made from stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance.
The B&W option is a little more pricey but it does come with a limited lifetime warranty and is made right here in the USA, plus B&W has a fantastic reputation among the heavy-duty... view full answer...
I have no experience with the PullRite 4437 Gooseneck ball as we do not carry that product.
I can say that the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061 has a nice snug fit as we have tested this product in our shop. I have linked a great video below that shows how the snug the gooseneck ball fits in the factory hitch. I also prefer the handle that B&W uses as you will not be grabbing onto a grease covered ball to remove and install in your truck. view full answer...
I would be happy to help explain how the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ford, GM, and Nissan Titan Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch item # BWGNXA2061 works in your 2019 Ford F-350 Super Duty. The ball locks into place once the handle is folded down. The handle locks in the horizontal position to prevent accidental unlatching. This engages the built-in-ball-bearing system that holds the ball in place inside the receiver. I have attached a video and around the 45 second mark you'll see... view full answer...
Yes, we have a taller gooseneck ball that fits the OEM rail kit of your 2020 Ford F-350 with the B and W ball part # BWGNXA2061 which measures 5-3/4 inches above the truck bed to the top. See attached picture and review video. This is the tallest option
For more bed rail clearance you could also try lowering the Goose Box to a lower set of mounting holes on the trailer frame as well. view full answer...
The 5 plugs or pucks you have in the bed of your 2017 Ford F-350 are the OEM hitch rail system and the center plug/puck is for a gooseneck ball. The ball I recommend for you is the B and W pop in ball # BWGNXA2061 because it has a unique handle design that allows you to grab and install the ball without having to touch it. This is nice because typically hitch balls are covered in grime and grease.
I attached a picture and an install video for this ball for you to check out as well. view full answer...
The tallest hitch ball that fits your 2020 Ford F-350 factory rail kit is the B&W Ball # BWGNXA2061 which measures 5-3/4" from the base to the top of the hitch ball. This is about 1/2 inch tall than most hitch ball fits.
I attached a review video for this hitch ball for you to check out on a similar 2019 Ford F-350 for you to check out as well. view full answer...
I recommend the 30,000 lb B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ford, GM, and Nissan Titan Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNXA2061 which fits down into the OEM prep package on your Chevy. The B&W ball comes with an integrated easy handle to help remove the ball. It also comes with a nice carrying case. view full answer...
We do have a B&W Gooseneck Hitch available for the 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 with the OEM prep package. I recommend the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ford, GM, and Nissan Titan Under bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNXA2061 which will fit into the OEM prep package of your new truck and locks into place. The ball also features a handle to make it easier to take the ball in and out of the truck bed. view full answer...

Yes, we have gooseneck balls that fit the OEM rail kit of your 2017 Ford F-450 like the B and W kit part # BWGNXA2061 that I recommend as it has a handle that makes it easier to release the ball and remove it as well. view full answer...
The tallest gooseneck ball we offer for the Ford OEM fifth wheel rail kits is the B and W Ball Kit # BWGNXA2061. From the base of the ball to the very top measures 5-3/4 inches. This is about 1/2 inch taller than most of the other fits available. view full answer...
The weight rating of the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ford, GM, and Nissan Titan Underbed Gooseneck kit part # BWGNXA2061 is 30,000 lbs but you are limited to the amount of weight the 2020 Ford F-350 can tow and also by the amount of weight the gooseneck coupler can handle. The towing capacity of your vehicle is listed in the owner's manual so I do recommend to take a look at that.
The B&W Gooseneck ball kit fits into the factory prep puck holes in the bed of the 2020 Ford F-350.... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
I have seen this with all of the Goose Neck Ball Kits like the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit part # BWGNXA2061 when the are left permanently installed and subjected to the elements. Not only is it common with these but also all of the goose neck or fifth wheels that fit into a prep or goose neck package.
I have had a lot of success getting them out by shocking the ball with a hammer (large sledge) it doesn't always work the first hit and doesn't always work on the sixty-seventh hit but... view full answer...
Yes the B and W OEM gooseneck ball part # BWGNXA2061 will fit better than the OEM ball you have now. We've found that this ball is the easiest to use and most reliable option. The Curt sometimes has issues where it freezes up too which the B and W does not so that's another reason we recommend it. view full answer...
You simply need the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit, # BWGNXA2061 for your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. This fits the center hole for the gooseneck ball and the safety chain loops fit into the pucks to the sides. view full answer...
You should be able to spray some WD40 or brake fluid down the exposed pin, let it sit for 10 minutes then using some vice grips you should be able to pull up on the pin to release it.
If this doesn't work I would give it some suggestive "taps" with a 5 pound hammer. Making sure to be very liberal with the brake fluid.
Last resort you can heat it up with a blow torch, this will cause the metal to expand and potentially break loose anything binding up inside. Let it cool down then restart... view full answer...
