• Comparison of Gooseneck Hitch Balls to Fit Ram Truck with Factory Goosneck Package
  The Curt # C60618, Reese # RP30140, and B&W # BWGNXA2062 hitch balls that fit the factory gooseneck hitch in your Ram are all great quality. There are a few differences though, mainly the way the ball is locked into place. The Curt has an integrated lever in the top of the ball that activates the ball bearings in the shank. The lever is made of steel and very easy to access and use. The Reese ball has a similar lever only you pull and turn it. It's also made of plastic intead of steel...

• Are the Front and Rear Puck Locations Different Sizes on a 2017 Ram 3500 With OEM Puck System
  I contacted both Curt and Reese who both confirmed that there is a difference between the front and back puck sizes on your 2017 Ram 3500. This means that the safety chain loops that come with the Curt # C60618 and the Reese # RP30140 will only be compatible with the rear pucks as that is where Ram recommends anchoring the safety chains. We do have the Erickson Retractable Tie-Down Anchors for Truck Bed Stake Pockets # EM01003 and the Putco Push-Up Tie-Downs for Front and Rear Truck Bed...

• Which Reese Goose Box Is Correct for a 2018 Highland Ridge Open Range 374BHS
  The correct Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter for your 2018 Highland Ridge Open Range 374BHS is part # RP85FR which has a 20,000 lb weight capacity that is 2,000 lbs higher than what you have now. I was able to confirm with my contact at Lippert that this is an exact replacement for the pin box you have now. Please note that safety chains will most likely be required in your state while using the Reese Goose Box so I also recommend the Reese Safety Chain Kit...

• Gooseneck Ball for a 2016 Ram 3500 with 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Factory Prep Package
  There are a couple of ball kit options that fit the factory 5th wheel and gooseneck prep package on your 2016 Ram 3500. I recommend the Curt kit, # C60618, which is the ball, safety chain tie downs, and a cover for the ball hole when the ball is not being used. (None of balls the fit the OEM system will hide in the ball cavity like the Turnover ball hitches from B&W.) You can also use the Reese kit # RP30140 which also includes the tie downs and cover but also includes a storage bag. I...

• Gooseneck Ball for a 2016 Ram 3500 with Factory Gooseneck Trailer Hitch
  The factory installed gooseneck trailer hitch that is in your 2016 Ram 3500 will take either Curt ball and safety chain loops # C60618 or the Reese version # RP30140. If you want just the ball then use # C60601. Please note that if the ball on your hitch is supposed to be held in with a rod, the handle for which will be in the driver's side wheel well, then it is not the factory gooseneck hitch. It could be a dealer installed hitch though. For those I would have to know the brand of the...

• Troubleshooting Gooseneck Ball Not Releasing From 2014 Ram 3500 With Factory Rail Kit
  If you have the Curt Ball and Safety Chain Loops Kit for Ram Underbed Gooseneck Hitch # C60618, the pin needs to be lifted and rotated only about 90 degrees to release the steel ball bearing pressure. The Reese Elite Series Pop-In Ball Kit for Ram Under-Bed Gooseneck Hitch # RP30140 has a wider tab that is slightly easier to rotate that same 90 degrees for removal. If the ball will not release when in proper position, I recommend spraying some penetrating oil like the UltraLube Biobased...

• Does the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ford, GM and Nissan Work with Andersen Ultimate Hitch
  I have a solution for you, but unfortunately we've had several complaints regarding the Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel connection and the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit, # BWGNXA2061. The hitch ball does not allow the Andersen Ultimate adapter to sit flush with the bed. Instead, you will want the Reese Pop-In Ball Kit # RP30137 if you have a Ford Super Duty or a Nissan Titan XD, part # RP30140 if you have a Ram truck, or Curt # C60692 if you have a GM truck. These hitch balls do not extend...

• How to Determine if Factory Gooseneck Trailer Hitch is Installed in a 2016 Ram 2500
  If you have the factory gooseneck prep kit in your 2016 Ram 2500 then you'll have holes in the truck's bed that safety chain loops and hitch ball included with part # RP30140 fit into. I've attached a picture of what they look like installed and if you have the locations for them you can't miss them. If you have the factory kit then # RP30140 is all you'll need. If you don't have the factory kit then you'll need to install a gooseneck underbed trailer hitch like the Curt # C60614. This...

• Are the Front and Rear Pucks on a 2018 Ram 3500 Different
  Yes, the Ram Factory Puck System has remained unchanged for the most part since its release therefore, the front pucks are different than those on the rear of your 2018 Ram 3500. The safety chain loops included with the Curt Ball and Safety Chain Loops Kit for Ram Underbed Gooseneck Hitch part # C60618, B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ram Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNXA2062, and Reese Elite Series Pop-In Ball Kit for Ram Under-Bed Gooseneck Hitch part # RP30140 will only...

• Curt or Reese Gooseneck Hitch Kit Recommendation for 2016 Ram 3500
  For your 2016 Ram 3500 you would want the Curt gooseneck ball part # C60618 as it has the same capacities as the Reese at a much better price. I also like the safety chain loop release design better on the Curt setup as well.

• Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Plate that Fits Reese Adapter for 2014 Ram Factory Prep Package
  The Reese adapter # RP30154 for the 2014 Rams with the prep package has the 2 wider sets of mounting slots at 20-1/2 and 29 inches on center side to side but not the inner set at 10 inches apart. The Curt Spyder gooseneck plate # 16085 will fit in the 20-1/2 inch slots on the adapter. I have linked a video review of this hitch for you. The factory prep package on your 2014 Ram should have come with the hole for a gooseneck ball. If yours does have this, we have found that you can use...

• Replacement Gooseneck Ball for Mopar Ram Hitch Prep Package
  The Replacement Hitch Ball # BWGNXA2000 is designed to fit B and W Turnover hitches. Since you said you have factory equipment I am assuming you mean you have the Mopar hitch prep package and are in need of a gooseneck ball. If so, you would actually need the part # C60601, or part # RP30140 if you want the safety chain loops as well.

• Gooseneck Hitch for 2014 Ram 2500 Long Bed
  If your Ram has the factory tow/ prep package, it'll have pucks in the truck bed as shown in the provided photo. If you have the prep package, you can use the Reese # RP30140 gooseneck ball. The # RP30137 kit you mentioned is for the Ford tow/prep package, and wouldn't work for your truck. If you don't have the tow/prep package, you can use the Draw-Tite # 9467. If you don't already have a 7-way trailer connector installed in your truck bed, you can install one using part # 41157.

• Gooseneck Ball and Safety Chain Loops for a 2017 Ram 2500 with Factory Prep Package
  For a 2017 Ram 2500 that has the factory gooseneck trailer hitch the only ball and safety chain loop options feature a removable ball but not one that can fit in the hole upside down. This is because of the design of the hitch itself. The two options are from Curt # C60618 and Reese # RP30140. The Curt option is more popular option due to the lower cost. Both come with covers to cover the ball hole when not in use. The Reese option includes a little storage bag to help protect the ball...

• Will Curt Spyder Gooseneck Hitch Fit Reese Adapter for 2014 Ram with OEM 5th Wheel Prep Package
  The Curt Spyder gooseneck trailer hitch # 16085 will fit in the inner set of slots on the Reese adapter # RP30154 for the 2014 Ram with OEM prep package. But it will be much easier, less expensive, and you will not have to use an adapter in another adapter to just use the proper ball to fit the OEM prep package on your Ram. The ball is # RP19311. For a kit that includes the ball, safety chain loops, cap, and storage bag use # RP30140.

• Need Gooseneck Ball and Safety Chain Hooks for 2013 Ram 3500 Dually Pickup with Under-bed Hitch
  The Reese part you reference, # RP30137, consists of a goose neck hitch ball and safety chain hooks. The ball would fit your 2013 Ram 3500 under-bed goose neck hitch. The safety chain hooks may not fit as they are intended specifically for applications in 2011 and newer Ford Super-Duty trucks with the OEM Power Puck system (and with Reese Elite series hitches). I spoke to my technical contact at Reese and they offer the Elite Series Pop-In Ball Kit # RP30140 that includes a pop-in ball...

• Can the Convert-A-Ball Adapter # CAB-C5GX1216 be Used on a 2017 Ram 3500 with the Factory Rail Kit
  If you already have a gooseneck hitch ball and safety chain loops, like the Reese part # RP30140, installed on your 2017 Ram 3500 with a factory rail kit, then the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter w/ Offset # CAB-C5GX1216 will allow you to tow your 5th wheel trailer without using a 5th wheel hitch. You do need to swap out the hitch ball though if it has a plastic latch. The Curt # C60601 can be used as a replacement since it has the metal latch on top. The adapter...

• Gooseneck Ball Recommendation to Fit 2014 Ram 3500 with Rail Kit
  For a gooseneck ball that is designed to fit the underbed rail kit of your 2014 Ram 3500 that also comes with safety chain loops you would want the Reese part # RP30140. If the flat bed has an access point for the gooseneck ball I don't see it being an issue at all.
