Remove the ball on this gooseneck hitch and store it upside down inside of the hitch to get full use of your truck bed when you're not towing. Wheel-well-accessible handle makes it easy to engage and disengage. Custom installation kit included.
Features:
Specs:
The Hide-A-Goose gooseneck trailer hitch works to meet your heavy-duty towing needs while still allowing you to get full use out of your truck bed. The hitch installs beneath your vehicle to create a low-profile look. Even the safety-chain holders sit flush against your truck bed to take up as little room as possible. The ball easily secures in the hitch with a reinforced locking pin that is operated by a handle that installs in your truck's rear wheel well.
This hitch is called the Hide-A-Goose because of its convenient ability to hide the ball when you're not towing. To remove the ball, just pull the handle in the wheel well until it latches in the open position. Remove the ball, flip it upside down, and drop it back into the ball hole of the hitch. Then pull the handle again to release it from the open position and reengage the locking pin to secure the ball in the stowed position.
Once you secure the ball in the stowed position inside the hitch, use the rubber cover to conceal the ball hole. This cover prevents dirt and debris from getting into the ball hole. This will prevent buildup that could cause the ball to seize up in the hitch.

Videos are provided as a guide only. Refer to manufacturer installation instructions and specs for complete information.
Today were going to review part number 9464-35 this is the Draw Tite Hide-A-Goose Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with the installation kit. This kit is design to fit the Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, 3500 models with the six foot and eight foot beds. What you want to do is to determine the years that will fit in the models is if you go to the product page for this part number. At the bottom of the page therell be a listing of the models that this will fit the years and the models of Dodge Ram with this kit would fit on to. Now, this Underbed Gooseneck Hitch when installed on your vehicle you only have the ball and the safety chain loops that are visible in the truck bed. The rails and hardware, mounting brackets are all mounted under the bed.
You wont be able to see those in the truck bed. This will allow for full truck bed access when your ball stored. It does include this 2-5/16 ball that can be stored upside down in the bed when not in use. Just want to show you that right here this handle is what will release the ball. Right now its in the straight up position that means the handle cannot be pulled.
When this is installed this handle would be in your fender well. If you just push that handle down that will release it and allow you to pull it out and theres a little notch there that would stick on to that allow you to just pull up and remove the hitch ball. This is a 2-5/16 hitch ball and when you want to store it all you got to do is turn it upside down, drop it in to place, and its hidden now. Then just release the handle put it back up so the handle cannot be, and then it will lock that hitch ball in. Then they also include a nice magnetic cover that you can lay up over that keeps any dirt and grime from falling in to where the hitch ball is located.
A nice thing about this is, let me just show you. This hitch ball has a nice round shank, right here if you notice that will reduce the raddle in the hitch, the round sleeve and the ball have a tighter fit than any of the square design Goosenecks. Again, Im going to show you theres a little groove on this side and you have to line that up, theres a little pin that sticks out. It lines up that way if you turn it and try to get it in it wont fit that way, just line the screw up with the pin in there, that way it will line it up to allow the handle to go in and lock it in to place. Again, this handle you do have convenient fender well access to this handle to disconnect the trailer hitch ball.
This handle does have a nice easy grip to it. This Gooseneck also includes the safety chain attachment point right here that it flush in the truck bed. They are spring loaded so when you go to attach your safety chains you can just pull up on it, attach the chain, let it go. When you remove your safety chains and you let it go it will just pull right back down against the truck bed. Now, on this it is a vehicle specific rail kit thats install thats included with this that helps your Gooseneck installed very quickly. There is no drilling, welding, or bed removal required. As you can see this mounting brackets on the side, we have installed here a couple of the you can see the U-bolt this is what itll tighten up around your truck frame, these mounting brackets will attach to the truck frame, it makes for an extra strong hold and a quick install. The Gooseneck Hitch itself is attached to these rails with the four, five, eight inch diameter grade eight garage bolts. All the pieces have a eco base with a black powder coat finish for superior corrosion resistance. These parts are made in the USA, they do come with a limited lifetime warranty. Again, this ball size is 2-5/16. The towing capacity you will need to see your vehicles owners manual because this unit is rated to match the manufacturers tow rating. The Gooseneck Hitch head unit itself is rated at 30,000 pounds gross towing weight with a 7500 pound vertical load limit or pin weight. These rails are rated to much the manufacturers two rating in your owners manual. Installation tips basically when this is installed the only thing you have to drill in your truck bed is the 3 inch diameter hall for this ball to fit in to. The safety chain attachment point, these spring loaded U-bolt you just would drill four 9/16 holes that these would fit through. Thats all that require of drilling holes in to the truck bed.This part is tested to Vehicle Equipment Safety Commission Standards which is VESC-19. Again, just to show you, you can pull the hitch ball out, just turn it, drop it in to place, at the handle turn it up so the handle is lock, the ball wont come up, put the magnetic cover on. Youd have nothing, have full truck bed access. Now, when you go to use it just turn the handle down, release it, pull up, flip it over, its that easy to go.That should do it for the review on part number 9464-35 the Draw Tite Hide-A-Goose Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with the installation kit. .

Great product at a great price! I measured out the 3.5" hole location as the directions said for a 8 ft bed on my 2010 Ram 3500 4X4 quad cab. I drilled the hole and deburred, Removed the rear fender well panels and proceded to slide the rails over the chasis. I had to bend the steel flange where the bed is put together during fabrication to have enough room to fit the rail between the bed and the chasis. This was only done on one side in one location. The rails slid right in and I continued on with the install. It was a little hard by myself but I managed. I did not have a lift and was lying on my back under the truck half the time. I did not have to remove my rear tires, raise the bed or remove exhaust to install. I did notice that I could have drilled the 3.5" hole about 3/8" to 1/4" less than the specified distance for perfect alignment on the chasis but all worked out well and it tows great! I'm very satisfied with my hitch and the experience with Etrailer, Thanks Etrailer! 182288

Hitch and installation kit installed with no trouble. I didn't even have to drop the exhaust on my '08 Ram 3500 DRW. I was very happy with the fit and it appears to be a very durable unit. The cable I purchased with the hitch also worked as advertised and instructions were clear and kit seems a very high quality. Overall, very happy with this purchase. 216111
Both continue to work fine!

For not knowing and never putting a gooseneck hitch in before after reading the instructions and figuring out how things work in went in easy the only problem I had was getting the ball to line up with the hole in the bed of the truck but a couple good hits from a rubber mallet and it popped right in. Works great and looks great will get a lot of use on the farm. 208650
Great

Ordered the hide a ball gooseneck hitch I had it in 4 business days with the free shipping, and if that wasn't good enough I found a cheaper priced hitch on another site after I bought it, and etrailer refunded me the difference plus 5% and lowered the price online so that the customers are getting the best bang for the buck with hands down the best customer service I have encountered yet. As far as the hitch goes it comes with plenty of instructions and all the hardware and took a buddy and I 2 hours from start to finish to complete. Great product, great service 168992

I have installed quite a few hitches in customers trucks. This hitch is very straight forward and easy to put in. You don't have to drill any holes, it's all bolt in. If you are familiar with installing these, one person and a helper can usually tackle this job in less than 2 hours. The hitch is well made and all the parts are powder coated, so rust is not an issue. The ball is hardened and chrome plated, and is very easy to remove and flip over if you need the room in the bed. To top it off Etrailer has the most reasonable prices I have found and always free shipping. I would recommend this product to another person. 352808

My son and I bought the Hide-a-Goose set up for his 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 Mega Cab. The shipping of the 111 lbs. packages (came in 2 boxes) was fast! Upon arrival, the instructions were right-on and easy to follow. We took our time and the installation went off without a hitch(pun intended!). We purchased the "no drilling required" kit and the only holes needed were through the truck bed. George kept us updated and we really appreciate the guys at etrailer. I highly recommend their products and would most definitely buy from etrailer again! Thanks guys! Leon W. 246677

Great gooseneck hitch. I pulled my trucks limit with the hitch and towing has never felt so good. I will never go back to tag trailer again. The hitch is sturdy, well designed. I would recommend that anyone buying a hide a goose, that they frequently shift the lever and pull the ball out. Keep it clean to help prevent seizing up. Very useful if you also need the bed of your truck unobstructed. Customer service was top notch! UPS's delivery however... could use some better handling practices. Hands down best hitch I have ever installed and used. 177955

after waiting two weeks for another on-line company to ship the hitch I order, then being told three more weeks for it to be shipped I cancelled order and reorder from etrailer and received it in three days, box was torn open but every thing was there. It did not take 90 minutes about 3 hours still not bad. Hitch looks good have to wait to try it 299571
by: Scott01/30/2017
Great product, solid with a stout design. Easy install with the help of their well put together instruction video. The hitch was delivered on time but the packaging was a little rough. After we opened the box we noticed the ball was missing. After contacting the folks at eTrailer, they sent out a replacement, no questions asked. I would recommend eTrailer and this product to anybody looking to install a new gooseneck hitch on their truck. 336741

This item looks great ordered and recieved in 3 days. Can't wait to install.. I will recommend etrailer to my friends. Will b looking to purchase brake box soon they have a lot of options for my truck. 171775
by: Mention11/04/2014
I gave you Guys 100% for quality and service. Excellence and professionalism. My first time buying a Dodge Ram, known nothing about Hitches. And because of the step by step information, I install this Hitch perfectly also the Trailer Brake Controller. You Guys save me $1,600, you're my source and I will recommend you Guys to everyone. Thanks again!!!! 159236
by: WC08/15/2016
Hitch is outstanding unit and would highly recommend to all. Installation is 50% easer to install with a hydraulic left instead of crawling around on a floor creeper. There is no need to cut or remove anything on your truck except for the ball opening, just hard to muscle laying on your back. But guess what all gooseneck installations are this way. 284101
by: Tim G.10/01/2016
I have used this same gooseneck hitch before and know that the quality of the item is great. The shipment and price through etrailer.com was definitely a 5 star they contacted me to check up with my shipment and the price was the best I could find. Very satisfied and will definitely be glad to do business with etrailer.com again in the future! 302393
by: Kelley KARS08/13/2016
Very Easy Install my 2011 instructions said to remove bed bolts but the 2012 video said no need so I followed the 2012 video and did not remove bed or wheels just spare and rear pipe after cat/muffler. slid right in like 2012 and bolted right up. Good Product and E trailer videos and instructions make it very easy DIY. 283442
by: mike ganassa06/12/2012
So far seems to be a good product. Went together well and fit right under the bed. Cant beat the price. Thanks E-Trailer 43802

I installed this Gooseneck onto my 2004 Dodge Ram 2500. I had a little difficulty installing the cross members but other than that it was fairly easy to install. I've hauled our fifth wheel twice now and it works perfect. I very much recommend a gooseneck over a traditional fifth wheel. I also suggest air bags too. 228284
by: Charles D.12/11/2012
So far the hitch is working very well. Installation was relatively easy. A few notches in the bed seam and we were on our way. We installed two of them in the same model pickups and found that on the second one we didn't have to drop the exhaust pipes so installation was much easier. 61135
by: James02/24/2015
Received hitch in about 3 or 4 days; shipping was delayed due to weather. With the help of my wife I was able to install this hitch on my Dodge 3500 in about 2 hours. Only removed spare tire, did not have a lift and did not take the exhaust brcakes off. Went in pretty easy. 175864
by: Daryl T.07/04/2017
I havent installed this part yet but it looks like im missing a few bolts...... other than that its good thick metal and looks heavy duty. the box it came in was heavily damaged, maybe a bag of bolts slipped out i dont know, but every thing else seems to be ok........ 401486
by: Dallas K.10/03/2016
The product is excellent!! couldn't be happier with the purchase!! Fast and friendly service and it was great to get a call to make sure verbally and first hand that the shipping address was correct!!! will definitely purchase from here again in the near future!!! 302916
by: Eric S.01/28/2012
Installation and fit were not quite as easy as the video on here made it look, but with two guys it was not terrible. Final product is awesome and looks nice. The little magnetic cover is kinda flimsy but i am sure i can make something a little more heavy duty. 30482
by: Phillip Patterson12/20/2016
Great product for the price! I installed it in my truck within a few hours at home. fit perfectly and the day after I installed it I pulled over 15,000 pounds and pulled great! Great instructions, and good quality just wish I was made in the USA! 326734
