This solid, machined hitch ball is a direct replacement for the 2-5/16" ball that came standard with your B&W Turnoverball gooseneck trailer hitch (BWGNRK1309) for Dodge Ram.Great communication and fast shipping. Thanks etrailer. As usual
Fit perfectly and appears to be great q uality.
etrailer was very professional in how they processed my order and went the extra mile in letting me know all along the way how they were handling locating one item that was not readily in stock. They continually communicated with me throughout the ordering and shipping process, Would definitely do business with them again!
Perfect fit for the B&W hitch that came with my truck.
looks very well made bought a truck that didn't have the ball had to buy an replacement
Exactly as expected. Everything fits as it should and works like it should.
Great service. Good product.
Everything worked out great the only problem is the handle to pull the pin out is not long enough to go outside the wheel well so I had to add three more inches onto it other than that great product thank you very much
I purchased this to pull a 25Ton GN trailer with heavy equipment and so far it works great! Good price point and reliable product. I would highly recommend this product and trailer. Thank you!
A very good product, I used a warn cable winch to lift the center hitch into place it worked very well, I couldn't quite hold it and work with installing fasteners. The only problem I found was the hitch pin mounts need to be unfastened to get the frame bolt in and tightened. the bolts need to be inserted and nuts started and then after the frame bolt is installed the nuts can be removed and carefully set the hinge pin up over them and reattach the nuts. I have a 2024 and there is a box gusset on the cab side that makes it impossible to put the frame bolt in from the cab side holes. Be sure you clean the frame mount holes and use a lubricant to make it easier to get the nut studs in them. I did mine on the shop floor, you become a reptile for three hours.
This is my 2nd B&W turnover underbed hitch that I have purchased from e-trailer. Price was good, shipping was fast
and the hitch works absolutely great, and it was easy to install.
Great hitch! I'm a pretty avid do it yourselfer so I did the install myself and it was relatively simple. The directions that came with the hitch had all the information I needed. It works well with my trailer and the quality seems to be pretty good. It's pretty low profile while you're not using it as well. Overall very happy with it. A couple of install notes for squarebody Chevy, GMC trucks which is what I installed mine on: You will need to lift the bed off the frame just enough to slide the hitch between the bed floor and the top of the frame rails so if your truck is rusty like mine, you may want to have new bed mount hardware on hand before you start in case you have to cut the old bolts to get them out. Also, the safety chain loops land right on the ridges in the bed floor so they don't recess completely flush even when they're not in use but so far it hasn't been a problem for me. I saw that mentioned in some other reviews on here so I already knew before I bought the hitch.
Easy enough to install. Directions are clear and the video online helped a lot. The little ring on top I made to give it a more finished look around the cutout. It would be nice if B & W included a piece like this with the kit, even if made of plastic. But, very happy with it.
This was the second Goose-neck mid bed ball to frame assembly I purchased from etrailer....this was for a V-8 Tundra; the first was for a V-12 dodge 2500; Both were absolutely spot on in terms of Hardware provided; Instructions; and actual holes already in the respective frames to line up to the hitch frame mounting steel; beyond that I got digital brake/level controllers from these guys for the Tundra and it was mint....cannot speak more highly of etrailer to get the stuff you need to haul....its obvious these guys actually get the kit first then see if it fits...on an actual truck...then order and distribute it when it does...10 out of 10 for etrailer
After having this hitch for a year I can’t say I’m too impressed. They claim the powdercoat on it is durable, but after only a year there’s already spots of rust. The pictures I’ve included are only showing a few spots I’ve noticed. I painted the pieces that sit against my frame with frame paint in hopes that doesn’t rust either. But the outside facing pieces, I haven’t touched. My truck is stored in the winter and the hitch hasn’t even been used yet since purchase. I’m sure it performs well since my last gooseneck hitch was B&W. But as for durability, I don’t think they do as well anymore. It shouldn’t be this rusty only after a year, being stored, not seeing salt or even being used.
I was converting a fixed/welded gooseneck ball on a CM flatbed to a removable one so I could also use a B&W Companion Flatbed Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch adapter. Although it wasn’t easy to find someone to cutout the old ball and install the new turnover ball, it was done expertly and the hitch works perfectly! Very easy to operate from the wheel well and turn over for a flat area for cargo. Always had a turnover ball in the past and highly recommend this one for a conversion.
The hitch is beefy and seem to be very strong. My guess is the truck frame will give before the hitch. Great quality. I very happy! I'm an above average backyard mechanic and found the installation doable, but a little of a challenge. Differently need a help. My wife was a big help. I use a 2X4 across my bed and a ratchet strap to lift and hold the center section in to position. I also had to reposition my exhaust pipe where it goes over the differential to get some clearance. Also, I had to drill out one of the square holes in the tailpipe L bracket to receive the factory bolt.
This was not to difficult to install. The most nerve racking part was cutting a hole in the bed of my truck. So far the finish is holding up to the weather and none of the bolts have come loose. Now, I just need to get a Gen Y or Reese Goosebox for my 5th wheel to eliminate the giant hitch in the back of my truck!
Top quality , heavily and sturdy parts. Easy to follow instructions. Best things....made in USA and good price!!!
Not my first B&W....and won't be my last either. Installation photos to follow.
Great instructions.
Grab a buddy to help install a few items as it may take two sets of hands.
Make sure and tighten the plate to the cross members before tightening to the frame.
It’s been about a year now of use with my gooseneck trailers. What a great improvement from using the hitch under the bumper. Still solid and functions flawlessly. Make sure to lube the pin that locks the ball, if grime gets in there it gums it up and doesn’t release it completely.
