Is this right For you? Product Expert Kathleen M says:
Yes, if you:
Want to make sure no one can just take the hitch ball out of your truck - while this folds out of the way, it stays permanently attached
Have a hard time reaching into the wheel well to release the handle for the hitch ball and would rather secure it from the truck bed
No, if you:
Are bothered by having to cut out a larger hole than the typical underbed gooseneck hitch to accommodate the folding ball
Like the overall look of your truck and would rather have something a little less intrusive

Easy installation. Pattern needs to add a notch for the right side bolt. Easy to follow instructions 627896

Review from a similar Folding Ball GN Hitch in Gooseneck Hitch
The hitch is extremely stout. The install was not so bad but the instructions lack a bunch of detail. When received, parts were missing. See pics. After a few trips to the hardware store I managed to put the parts together to install the hitch. The fact that I was on a stringent timeline made this task more difficult. The template for centering the frame hitch was non-existant so allot of time was spent with a tape measure and a marker. All in all its a solid unit. I would suggest a buy on this one but etrailer needs to work the transportation issues of their boxes. The Curt over bed portion was all there and in a solid box.1296233
Review from a similar Folding Ball GN Hitch in Gooseneck Hitch
Very nice product!!! Works well and is easy to install. Would have given it a 5 star but the product did not come with install papers so had to look up online. I tow a 28 foot gooseneck regularly and it does great!!! Also like that it lays flat in bed for when I need to haul something without trailer. 392528
Review from a similar Folding Ball GN Hitch in Gooseneck Hitch
This hitch does not come with the correct hardware to fit a 2019 Silverado 1500 LD and the instructions are incorrect. I figured this out after referencing the instructions for an underbed hitch. Very frustrating install. Had to purchase $[XX] worth of additional hardware to get it completed. Called for help and gentleman that answered the phone had no idea how to help me. I think the hitch is a good hitch though now that it is finally in.1140299

Review from a similar Folding Ball GN Hitch in Gooseneck Hitch
Works great. Only issue is the chrome on the ball peeling, but that's because I didn't grease it enough. Otherwise no issues at all1287081

Review from a similar Folding Ball GN Hitch in Gooseneck Hitch
Not very happy with this hitch. Install was much more difficult than my prior hitch. It's intrusive in the bed (the big rectangular plate is thick and you always know it's there). One winter on it and it's rusting and becoming difficult to deploy. It's hard to get the pin extended to secure the ball at times. Overall it's just not an impressive product in my opinion.1055919

Thank you for your review. I would remove the elements when not in use to further the life span. Also, the hitch ball needs greased before each use. Any rust should be sanded and covered with anti-corrosive paint.

Review from a similar Folding Ball GN Hitch in Gooseneck Hitch
Over all a very stout set up but I was disappointed that I have factory threaded inserts in my frame for gooseneck hitches less than 2 inches from where this one mounts but this just didn't utilize them. It does use holes in the frame so there isn't any drilling though. Also you have to cut the bottom seam of the bed inside the wheel well (per instructions) to get the cross members in and have to cut a rather large square hole in the bed floor instead of just a hole for the ball ( also per instructions). 418467

Review from a similar Folding Ball GN Hitch in Gooseneck Hitch
Got this for the 01 2500HD Sierra. Metal is extremely thick and strong. However, The holes for the bracket pull the cross bars up to the bottom of the truck better. Makes it seem like a lot of the weight is resting on the bolts and not the crossbars/frame.975811

Review from a similar Folding Ball GN Hitch in Gooseneck Hitch
I was looking for a 5th wheel solution and found this setup. Install was strait forward and Easy. It workes great with my 26 foot camper trailer. It folds almost flat with the bed floor for a flat load surface for sheet goods. The bottom of the mount does not drop to low to impead with exhaust pipe, hoses, drive shaft or rear diff. A great product sold by a good company that's there with support and solutions. Thanks etrailer.551407

Review from a similar Folding Ball GN Hitch in Gooseneck Hitch
I currently purchased this product. It is a great setup and pretty simple to install. I had received it about 3 days later. Was missing a few hardware parts so I could install at that time. I had called up the company and let them know and they sent me a new kit no charge. The product is great setup and I would definitly recommend it to anyone else. Thanks for all the great help!!!571685

Works great. Glad we bought it. Was a little tough to install for somebody that has never done one but after doing it I can now do them again. Will be buying another one at a later time for my other truck I am currently working on. 265747
