Nice gooseneck ball. Fits my 2024 gmc 2500HD perfectly.

hitch seems a little loose in the socket, have not hooked trailer to it yet to see if it bangs around. going to love having the handle so your hands dont get greasy.

You know what they say, "Hand Hygiene: Our First Line of Defense." As for the loose ball in the socket, you shouldn't have to worry about that at all. I have even confirmed with the manufacturer that the reason that there is more slack with the OEM ball is due to the ball bearing locking mechanism. The factory prep package uses a ball bearing locking mechanism that will allow anything in the socket to spin freely. I have double-checked with the manufacturer that the movement will not cause any issues while in use. The movement is normal and must happen with the ball bearing system. If it were set to be any tighter, you risk the ball seizing.

The ball does not fit my truck puck, despite being made for/compatible with it based on brand, year and model. etrailer provided # for B&W directly. Customer service at both companies has been excellent so far. Awaiting replacement ball from B&W which they shipped over night express. Hoping it fits. The product itself is very heavy and appears well made and easy to use.

This is an awesome product and easy to use. The storage case it comes with is a plus! Would definitely recommend.

The components of this kit were of outstanding quality. They fit the puck system on my truck perfectly, and will work very well. I am very pleased with the workmanship, and delivery from etrailer was quick and efficient.

This has been a very useful hitch. The ball is easy to install and remove to have my full bed available for use. The safety chain anchors actually fit the safety chains hooks.

Love this B&W and Safety Chain Kit



by:

I just received b&w gooseneck hitch and looks great.i removed it from the package tried it in the bed and it fits great.



by:
2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500

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.

After about a year, I couldn’t bear having the ball running loose in the receiver so I welded it and turned it back down in a lathe. Now it fits snugly in my truck. I also added a bump on the flank and drilled a matching dent in the truck side so it will no longer rotate or spin around while towing. These are my two major complaints with this setup.



by:

This is a great piece of machinery. Heavy duty and came in its on plastic case to store it in. This has to be the easiest setup. The handle on the ball keeps your hands from getting greasy, which is a big deal. It's about $30 more than the other name brand but worth it.



by:

Excellent product! Simple to use! Finding what I needed on ETRAILER was easy and the price is a great value!

The B&W in gooseneck hitch is fantastic. I wish I made the switch years ago!



by:

Made in USA is why I purchased this gooseneck ball. Excellent quality. I received shipment exactly when they said I would.

We have had great experience with eTrailer, These parts came in as described.

Amazing product, if you have the ford factory gooseneck system, this is the perfect way to finish off the system without having to install an entire new gooseneck turnover ball system

Such an easy install and removal for my fifth wheel camper. Nice storage case as well. Love it love it love it!

I will be ordering from e-trailer for my future needs. Fast, efficient, delivered when said part would be. Thank you for everything and I will be reccomending you to everyone I know.



by:

This was SOOOOO easy to install... I love the case. It keeps any dirt or grease from the hitch ball from getting all over everything in the back of the truck. The black ball cover does the same thing, if you want to leave the ball installed. The safety chain kit goes in so easily. LOVE IT !!!

Superb service. My wife ordered my B&W gooseneck ball kit at 7:30pm and it was picked up at their facility at 8:35pm by UPS. I received my package 2 days later. Will be using e-trailer more often.



by:

It fits perfectly. 2024 gmc 2500hd. Very easy to install. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a simple gooseneck hitch.



by:

Great product,very easy to install and remove. My daughter who is 15 can install and hook up to our goose neck to load her show cattle. Very satisfied



by:

Easy to use and store. Leave your bed free of clutter and throw those golf clubs in the back when you go camping. There is no need even to wipe the ball from the grease. Just flip the handle and gently put it back in the carriage box.



by:
2023 GMC Sierra 3500

Great quality, perfect fit, the customer service at etrailer is top notch.



by:

This has worked very good for me. Easy to use and works fine with the 5th wheel hitch I have. This makes it easier taking my hitch out and didn't have to have brackets installed in my truck. Leaves the bed flat for other uses. Had a lot of good help from everyone I talked to at etrailer.

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

  • Availability of Taller B and W Gooseneck Turnoverball Ball
    B and W does offer an offset gooseneck ball for their Turnover hitches that also sits up a bit taller with the part # BWGNXA4085. I attached a picture that shows this ball next to the standard ball and you can see it's noticeably taller. For a similar ball without the offset we have the # BWGNXA2050. This only 1 inch taller though.

  • B&W Gooseneck Hitch Ball For 2021 Chevy Silverado With OEM Prep Package
    The B&W gooseneck hitch ball is available for your 2021 Chevy Silverado, though not the hitch ball by itself as it does come with safety chain loops, a hole cover, and a storage case. If you're okay getting the ball as well as the safety chain loops, what you will need is the following: - B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061 I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well.

    We do have a B&W Gooseneck Hitch available for the 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500 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.

  • Which 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Hitch for 2022 Chevy Silverado With Factory Puck System
    If you have a short bed truck, you'll want to use a sliding hitch unless your 5th wheel has a rotating pin box like the Reese Revolution/Sidewinder or the Lippert Turning Point. For a sliding hitch, I'd recommend the B&W Companion, part # BWRVK3775. For a long bed truck or a short bed truck with the rotating pin box, I'd recommend the stationary Companion model, part # BWRVK3710. If you're using a rotating pin box, you'll need the # SWW-06 wedge to prevent the king pin from rotating in...

    Yes, the Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter # RP85FR will replace the 1621 MORryde pin box that came on your 2020 Grand Design Solitude 377MBS. I do recommend double checking the sticker that is on the MORryde pin box for the 1621 as I have seen one off's that will sometimes have something different. You will also need the Reese Safety Chain Kit # RP49151 since you are switching to the gooseneck ball connection. And the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061...

  • What Causes Curt Factory Ford Pop-In Hitch Ball To Get Stuck
    The issue you are having with the gooseneck hitch ball getting stuck in the trailer hitch after sitting is pretty common, especially with the factory pop-in hitch balls that have the latch in the top like the Curt Ball and Safety Chain Loop Kit part # C60692. The reason for this is because you can't get much leverage/force to remove it due to the latching mechanism. In regards to removal, the basics like tapping it with a hammer to free the rust/dirt, applying lubrication, and applying...

  • Trouble Removing Curt OEM Gooseneck Hitch Ball From 2021 Chevrolet Silverado W/ OEM Prep Package
    The Curt OEM Ball Bearing Gooseneck Balls like the # C630-652 you have are notorious for being difficult to remove. This is is due to the small lever on the top that doesn't really give you enough leverage to fully open the handle easily. To remove the stuck gooseneck ball from your New Silverado's gooseneck hitch you will need to use some penatraiting oil in the top lever, and around the sides of the hitch to get into the ball bearing. Using a hammer to hit the hitch ball back and forth...

  • Can Convert-A-Ball 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter Fit with Curt Pop-In Gooseneck Hitch Ball
    The Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G will damaged the integrated latch on the top of the Curt Pop-In Ball # C60629 so for your application I recommend using the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061 instead. This hitch ball has a lever that rotates on the sides of the hitch ball body instead of an integrated latch which means it cannot be damaged by the adapter. Attached are some videos for you to check out.

  • Best Gooseneck Hitch Ball Recommendation for 2019 Ford F-350 Super Duty with Factory Hitch Prep
    By far the best gooseneck ball kit for your 2019 Ford F-350 with the factory gooseneck ball hole is the B and W kit part # BWGNXA2061. The ball comes with a handle which allows you to pick it up without having to grab a greasy ball and the safety chain loops are the best size to make connecting to chains the easiest. A more economically priced kit is the Reese part # RP30137. The only real downside to this kit is that your hands will get kind of greasy installing and removing it based...

    I recommend getting the OEM pucks if you will be towing regularly. We have a few options for the hitch ball and chain loops that are most likely more cost efficient than the dealer.

  • Convert-A-Ball Compatibility With Ford OEM Pucks
    As long as you do not have a Reese Elite Series Gooseneck Hitch # RP30138-26, or any sidewinder or cushioned air ride king pin you can use the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th Wheel-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5GX1216 on your Ford puck system. However, you can not use the factory ball due to it having a lever on the top of it, instead you'd need to use # BWGNXA2061 which has a completely different mounting system.

    From what I could find, it looks like your 2021 Forest River Vengeance Rogue Armored 4007 uses the 1621 pin box number, but I do recommend double checking that with Forest River. All you will need is the VIN and they should be able to tell you as they keep this on file. Once you have the pin box number confirmed, you will then be able to tell exactly which Reese Goose Box to go with. The # RP85FR, as an example, will be perfect if Forest River confirms the 1621 pin box number as it is...

    Right off the bat, the American made B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061 is a great option and will serve you well. The 30,000 pound capacity and lifetime warranty are just a couple more pluses for this kit. As to the wiring, I recommend going with the Hopkins Endurance 90-Degree Wiring Harness # 41157. This will plug right into your factory wiring, making it a pretty easy install. The door flap on this is also robust and I have found it to be a long lived product. Using this will...

    I have a solution for you but there is no offset ball for the Ford Factory Puck System.
