Install this heavy-duty hitch on your vehicle so that you can securely tow your gooseneck trailer. Store the removable ball upside down in the hitch when you aren't towing to get complete bed access. Square ball base won't turn in hitch.
Features:
Specs:
With the B&W Turnoverball underbed gooseneck trailer hitch you get the best of both worlds. When you go to tow, the Turnoverball creates a sturdy, dependable connection with your gooseneck trailer. And when you're done towing, you can stow the ball upside down in the hitch to get full bed access and a clean appearance.
The durable steel hitch ball included with the Turnoverball system secures in the hitch with a sturdy, 5/8" thick steel pin that is incorporated into the end of the operating handle. To lock the ball in place, drop it into the hitch hole in the bed of your truck. Then rotate the handle in your driver's-side wheel well counterclockwise until the latch engages. When the latch is engaged, the spring-loaded pin on the end of the handle will be inserted all the way through the base of the hitch ball, forming a strong, solid connection and ensuring absolute security when you're towing.
When you're done towing, remove the hitch ball by simply pulling the handle out as far as it will go and then rotating it clockwise until it unlatches. Remove the ball, flip it upside down, and drop it back into the ball hole of the hitch. Then reengage the latch to secure the stowed ball in place.
Unlike typical gooseneck balls - which have round bases - the Turnoverball hitch ball is designed with a square base. This makes latching the ball in the hitch easier because the base won't rotate inside of the hitch like a round base might, so lining the pin up is a snap. The base of the ball also fits tightly within the ball hole during storage. Because only the corners of the base contact the sides of the socket, any dirt or grime that gets into the hitch will fall through the socket, thus helping to prevent any buildup that could cause the ball to seize up in the hitch.
Simple, Custom Installation
This hitch is custom designed for your vehicle. The included mounting brackets bolt to existing holes in your truck's frame. While some modification is required - you will need to cut a 4" diameter hole in your bed for the hitch ball and drill holes for the built-in safety chain loops - there is no need to weld onto or to drill into your frame.
Once you have the hitch brackets and body installed, set up the operating handle. This handle is designed to be accessed from the rear driver's-side wheel well. On the end of the handle is the heavy-duty steel pin that secures the hitch ball.
B&W makes it easy to tow just about anything. With the many adapters and accessories available, the Turnoverball can be made to work with almost any gooseneck trailer. Hitch balls are available that have a built-in rise, an offset, and even a different connection type. Add on the Companion fifth-wheel hitch - which attaches directly to the Turnoverball with no other parts required - and you can tow your fifth-wheel trailer. Even a truck bed utility rack is available so that you can easily haul ladders and lumber with the load placed on the hitch (and therefore your truck's frame) instead of your bed rails.

Today we are going to review part number BWGNRK1104. This is the B & W Turnover Ball under bed gooseneck tailor-hitch with custom installation kit, and has a 30,000 weight pound capacity. Now for demonstrations purposes I do have this under bed gooseneck-hitch attached to the custom installation brackets and this would be how it would look under your vehicle. It is designed to fit the Ford F150 trucks with either the six and a half foot or the eight foot bed beginning in 2004. Now I would recommend to get a correct fitment is to check the product page for this part number and at the bottom of the page it will list the actual yearsand models of the Ford F150 that this would fit on. Now this is a heavy duty under bed hitch, which will let you tow your gooseneck trailer. If you pull out the ball, it will give you complete truck bed access when you are not towing, and you could actually store the ball by just removing it and turning it upside down, drop it back into the hitch, and if you release this handle, twist it and release the pin. It would lock it into place.
It is not going to go anywhere. When you release this handle, right underneath here on the end of this handle is a 5/8 inch diameter spring loaded steel locking pin. When you pull and twist this to lock it open, you can pull this out. That 5/8 inch diameter locking pin is what would go through this and hold this ball secure into place. This handle right here was accessible at the rear driver side wheel well. If you'll notice this turnover ball is a single piece machine ball socket, provides rugged durability, has a square ball based to prevent the ball from turning into hitch during hook up.
When you drop it into the square opening in the gooseneck, you can see when your hooking up this will not turn. Also on this ball socket you can see the corners are actually chamfered and what that does is when you actually drop it in there that chamfer will leave an opening in each corner. What that will do is help prevent any dirt or grind from building up and causing any problems when you are trying to drop the ball in or remove it. Now this B & W under bed gooseneck hitch is specifically designed to use B & W accessories that we sell separately. That will make it easy to customize this hitch to fit your needs. One of the popular accessories that are sold with this is lots of times people might need a situation where they'll need to tow a fifth wheel trailer instead of a gooseneck trailer.Well B & W offers the companion fifth wheel hitch adapter, and what that will let you do is you could remove the ball and if you are needing to at some time tow a fifth wheel trailer, the companion fifth wheel hitch adapter will actually drop into your bed and give you a fifth wheel hitch, and it has a post in the middle that would insert down into this opening here.
Then youll turn your handle and lock it into place so youll actually be able to tow a fifth wheel because you'll have a fifth wheel hitch installed in your bed. That is an accessory that we do sell a lot of. It also, if you notice, has the spring loaded safety chain hook-ups, which are built in. You just hook your safety chains and let it go, and itll hold into place. This is a very simple installation. It comes with the included custom installation kit we show here and all the hardware that is needed.
There is no welding required and the truck bed does not have to be removed for this to be installed. It does require a four inch diameter hole to be cut in into the bed to have access to this opening, and for four holes for your spring loaded safety chain hook-ups to fit through. This is made of powder coated steel, which is sturdy and corrosion resistant. It is made in the USA. Again, this has a gross towing rate capacity of 30,000 pounds, has a vertical load limit or pin weight capacity of 7500 pounds. The ball size if you'll notice on this gooseneck turnover ball is two and 5/16 in diameter. It does come with a limited lifetime warranty. Again just to show you how this operates, I have the handle locked into open position, so if you are going to tow a gooseneck, you can drop the ball into place. Again twist it. That will release it. That pin will lock it, the ball, so there is no movement at all. You do your towing. When you are done and you want to remove the ball, just pull out on this handle, twist it. That locks it open, pull it out. If you want to store it, just go ahead and drop the ball into place. There is a little handle that you can grip it on to. Then lock it down, twist it. It locks into place and then you have full access to your truck bed. That should do it for the review on part number BWGNRK1104, the B & W turnover ball under bed gooseneck trailer-hitch with the custom installation kit. .

Install this heavy-duty hitch on your vehicle so that you can securely tow your gooseneck trailer. Store the removable ball upside down in the hitch when you aren't towing to get complete bed access. Square ball base won't turn in hitch.
This is an excellent product. I have hauled my trailer loaded with my tractor multiple times. This hitch has performed flawless. I would certainly recommend. It is so much easier to haul a gooseneck trailer than a bumper hitch. The truck is much smoother and seems to handle the load much better. The thing I like most about the hitch is that you can hide the ball when you need to use your truck bed to haul other stuff. I would definitely purchase again. 408732
After a year of ownership I am still 100 satisfied. I will definately purchase again. When I get ready to trade my truck my new truck will get one of these hitches.
Mike C - 07/21/2018Excellent product and extremely great service from etrailer. I will buy from them again 575312

I'm extremely happy with my hitch so far. I installed it in about 4hrs. (All by myself) I'm not saying it was easy, but definitely not as difficult as a thought. I went and picked up my new gooseneck trailer with it and all was wonderful. I can't thank you enough. 301917

Arrived quickly even with the holiday weekend. It took 3 hours to install by myself. Everything went together like it was supposed to. Just need to tow the trailer with it. Very satisfied with the customer service and the product. Will order again in the the future and refer people to e trailer 198189
Review from a similar B and W Turnoverball in Gooseneck
Was a fairly easy install in both a Ram Mega Cab 3500 and a Ford F-350. Cutting the hole in the bed was the most intimidating part, but as long as you measure just as the directions tell you, it turns out seamless. This is the only way to go if you need a gooseneck hitch! 598954

You guys rock! Sal helped me choose through correct unit for my truck. Shipping was fast, received it in 3 days. Will be installing it after the holidays are over. Etrailer is the best company that I have come across for out Truck and trailer needs. They are my first call when I need something. Thanks again. Happy New Year 329043
Review from a similar B and W Turnoverball in Gooseneck
Quality product. Install is relatively easy with the exception of the safety chain holes. It's pretty impossible to maneuver a drill from underneath with the exhaust pipe in the way. Before installing, I made a plywood template of the 4 inch hole and safety chain holes. I was then able to drill the holes from the bed. It made it easy. 364613

Installation went well. Adam was very knowledgeable and professional. 572911
Review from a similar B and W Turnoverball in Gooseneck
The E-trailer videos and instuctions are great! I would suggest going ahead and removing the spare tire heat shield to make life easier with the torque wrench and when drilling the safety chain holes. The other item I am glad I caught before installing my hitch is the size of the hole they want you to use. B&W suggest a 3-1/2" hole and provide a plastic spacer to kinda hide the gap, I didn't like the idea of how this was going to look. I still installed the plastic spacer to support the bed around the hole, but I used a 3-1/4" hole saw and very lightly filed the edges for a much better fit. (Just make sure you hit your pilot hole location.) Test fit the hitch from the top side when checking the hole size. When installing, tighten the bolts to where the hitch just starts to make contact with the frame and then go top side and check hitch/hole alignment. Tap the hitch around with a mallet if you need to line it up with the hole. (Once the hitch was tight it didn't protrude through the bed anyways, so the hole could have been small and still worked). After removing the exhaust hanger, I used a ratchet strap to pull the tail pipe towards the spring to allow access to drill the passenger side safety hook holes. Another tip, I used a piece of rope tied to the ball retaining pin and fed it up through the hole in the bed. My 11 year old son was able to hold it in place this way while I started the bolts. I am happy with the end results and it looks great! The one thing I feel could be better is how far the ball retaining pin protrudes into the second side of the hitch housing, on mine I only have about 1/4" into the second side. I would feel better with 3/8"-1/2" engagement. 302603
Working out great. Many a mile with trailer in tow.
Lee W - 10/03/2017Review from a similar B and W Turnoverball in Gooseneck
Been running B&W hitches since they first come out. Always a good heavy duty product and i love the fact it does not take up any bed space. Etrailer is the only place i will buy anything trailer towing Related. 569905
Review from a similar B and W Turnoverball in Gooseneck
Very easy to install, used a support strap to support the center section as suggested during installation. All bolts and related hardware fit great. Would recommend that you have a 1/2" drive 3/4" swivel socket and 1/2"extensions to make installation easier. 558609

We use our hitch on a gooseneck trailer pulled by an F250. The hitch is freaking perfect. No problems at all. 576006
Review from a similar B and W Turnoverball in Gooseneck
Installation was done by myself in 3/4 of a day. It works as it should and is nice having a true hideaway, YOU DO NOT have to lift the bed for this installation. Doing so would be much more difficult. Follow the instructional videos and directions for install and you will have zero issues. 515509
Review from a similar B and W Turnoverball in Gooseneck
Ordered this 1313 for my 2004 Dodge 3500, converting from 5th wheel to gooseneck, but the trailer I ordered had a "reservation deadline" i.e. don't pick it up by this date and we sell it someone else...) so I needed the hitch right away, it arrived two days before expected and now I am ahead of schedule. Your online installation pictures and videos are excellent and helped me make my buying decision. Why buy from [other online retailer] when you can get it all here at etrailer with great support and fast service? Not to mention etrailer has everything I needed to make this gooseneck conversion happen. And ... The MOST important thing is everything I bought today is made in the USA! 494692
Review from a similar B and W Turnoverball in Gooseneck
This is the 3rd vehicle that I have put this hitch in and have 0 complaints. Installation is pretty straight forward and the instructions are easy to follow. If you take a bolt and clean the paint out of holes in the front cross member it will make your life a lot easier when you install. Great service from etrailer amd a great product. Only complaint is that the video for my truck, 2001 dodge 2500, on etrailers website is for a lot newer truck and did not apply to my vehicle at all. 317595
Review from a similar B and W Turnoverball in Gooseneck
Installed this hitch in my 2017 Ram 2500 6.7 Cummins with absolutely no issues. Was very impressed with the detailed instructions. Used a friend of mine’s shop to do the work, it is definitely a two person job unless you have away to hold the hitch in place while you get the four bolts started. No specilized tools needed. I would highly recommend this to anyone that has a need for this type of hitch. Thank you George J and thank you etrailer for the grate product and price. 456487
Still working great !!! Thank You for providing a great product.
Todd - 12/03/2018Review from a similar B and W Turnoverball in Gooseneck
As most B&W products are it fit perfect in my 16 Ram 2500 just wished I would have had an extra pair of hands cause it gets heavy installing by yourself. The template for the safety chain hooks was also a big plus not having to drill from the bottom of the truck. Will continue to buy from etrailer as I always get the fastest and cheapest around. 568806
Review from a similar B and W Turnoverball in Gooseneck
I ordered the turnover ball hitch for a 07 dodge and a couple of items online and received it in a couple of days which was great . The b&w hitch is fairly easy to install and took 2.5 hrs or so .the only problem I had was the inside frame bolts hanging up in the frame . After removing the bolts that hold the rubber travel stops to the frame they slid right thru . 184161
Review from a similar B and W Turnoverball in Gooseneck
Order arrived very quickly. Installed within a couple of hours with a helper. Fits perfectly. Used it for pulling a 16 ft. gooseneck cattle trailer. Like the fact that it stays out of the way when not using it. Provides good weight distribution, F150 easily handled load. 417443
Still pleased with it. Thanks.
Bryan H - 08/10/2018Review from a similar B and W Turnoverball in Gooseneck
Great product. Easy to install, the installation video helped alot. It's alot better if you have two people to help. I would highly recommend this product to anyone. And is made in America, doesn't get much better than that. 277393
Review from a similar B and W Turnoverball in Gooseneck
Works great, easy installation. Only suggestion to the installation, on a 2016 2500HD, don't cut the notch in the side of the bed, simply loosen the bolts on the side of the bed to the frame, lift the bed a couple inches and slide the rails in as needed. The area the instructions refer to notching the bed isn't enough to allow the rails to slide in. Otherwise I would give 4 stars. 405641

hitch was just perfect 339777
we have purchased 3 of these hitches from you and I wouldnt buy any other, they work great
mark c - 02/08/2018Review from a similar B and W Turnoverball in Gooseneck
The B&W turnover ball hitch is worth every penny! It's built solid and fits perfectly! The instructions are detailed and easy to follow! I've been using it in my Ram 1500 to haul a 3 horse slant load trailer and couldn't be happier! I absolutely love the relocation of the ball release to the inside of the bed! I have a crew cab, so I'm going to purchase a B&W extension so that I can have full clearance in tight turns and would suggest ordering that with your hitch. 334473
A year later, I am still completely satisfied! I havent had a single issue out of the hitch. Its still worth every penny.
John - 01/25/2018Review from a similar B and W Turnoverball in Gooseneck
I watched the video you guys had posted for my exact vehicle and that made the installation so much easier. Not that directions are hard to follow, but seeing it done live is the way to go. I'm one that likes to do things myself unless it's super cheap for an install, in this case everyone I talked to quoted around $350 to $450. My buddy and I did the install this past weekend and it turned out great. I hooked up to my gooseneck last night and im happy to say this hitch is awesome! Can't wait to show the wife how a gooseneck trailer rides so much better than a bumper pull, I'm trying to convince her to upgrade from a travel trailer to a fifth wheel, I think this will convince her. 356632

Review from a similar B and W Turnoverball in Gooseneck
I needed a gooseneck hitch to haul cattle to market in my new 26ft. stock trailer. I installed the Turnover Ball Gooseneck Hitch in my 2012 Silverado 2500HD in a little over 3hrs by myself laying flat on the ground. If I'd had a lift, it would have been much easier. That installation instructions were dead on! Great looking hitch and adds value to my truck. 280892

Jeff K - 10/14/2016Review from a similar B and W Turnoverball in Gooseneck
I ordered this hitch a year ago, customer service called me to verify the model of my truck and installed my self on a 2007 GMC Sierra 2500hd classic the hitch by far has been the best hitch I’ve owned. I have a 32 foot gosseneck I pull and it’s easy to hook up and holds the weight. The springs on the safety chains still work like it’s new and the best part is if I just need the bed I can pull the pin and filp the ball and have the whole bed 546170
Review from a similar B and W Turnoverball in Gooseneck
I purchased my hitch and received it within 3 days. Fast and easy delivery service. I just wish the UPS guy would've at least placed it inside my gate. etrailer has great staff, friendly yet profesional. All of my questions we're answered promptly. The hitch looks great on my truck. I installed it myself in roughly 2 hours. The nice B&W grey color definitely pop's from the black frame. I also have the 5th wheel companion and it looks beefy! Can't wait to tow my toy hauler this weekend. 512541
Review from a similar B and W Turnoverball in Gooseneck
Easy to follow assembly instructions. Had a harder time getting the Ford/Reese gooseneck out. In my case it was a new 2017 F350 and I wanted to use my new companion fifth wheel hitch system. Product cost was more than the BW gooseneck I put on my F450. 420782
Review from a similar B and W Turnoverball in Gooseneck
Had similar hitch in my Dodge 2500 for towing a 3-horse horse trailer. I liked it so when I decided to put a gooseneck hitch in my 2002 Ford F250 Super Duty 4WD I went with B&W again. I have used etrailer before; liked their support and could't find a better deal. Installation instructions were clear and an online video of installation on a 2003 Ford was much like mine. Gave me all the confidence I needed for a DIY install. I my case I didn't have a rack which would have made life easier. I had all the tools and did the job without needing to cut the bed ridge and without removing the rear tires or dropping the spare (couldn't find the $#@! jack handle that fits the mechanism). It took about 3 hours. With a rack and no tires it'd get done in under 2 hours for sure. 544034
Review from a similar B and W Turnoverball in Gooseneck
The B&W Hitch and wiring harness I purchased worked great. Did the install myself which was a job but the instructions were good and the video may it fairly straightforward. The wireing harness had to be 100% wire-for-wire soldered into place becaue the original connector on my truck had been damaged and replaced. So the plug-and-play part not working was a surprise but we dealt with it. All-in-all a perfect fir for everything. I would highly recommend both items. Great quality and ease of use perfect. 400724

These units are easy to install and easy to use for both ball and 5th wheel towing. Putting it on a ‘97 F350, found all the holes aligned perfectly. Made it possible to switch vehicles to tow a 5’r using the companion hitch. 589836
