Video Transcript for Draw-Tite Hitch Ball - Gooseneck Hitch Ball - 5973 Review
Today, we're going to review Part# 5973. This is the Draw-Tite 2-5/16" diameter Remov-a-Ball Gooseneck Hitch Ball. Now this part is a replacement Gooseneck Ball for the Remov-a-Ball Gooseneck trailer hitches made by Draw-Tite and Reese. Basically those gooseneck hitches would allow you to drop this ball into place and then a pin would go through the hole right in here to lock it into place. Then when you pull the handle, remove the pin, you can remove it from the hitch itself. This is the replacement ball. The ball diameter up here is 2-5/16".
The shank diameter right down here, we're going to measure, is right at 2-1/4". The shank height from the bottom to the very bottom of the ball here is going to be 2-3/4". And then just a few measurements, the diameter of the hole is 3-1/4" and the measurement from the center of that hole to the base at the bottom is 1-1/4, and from the center of that hole to the bottom to the ball is 1-1/2". This ball it has stamp on the top, has a 30,000 pound weight capacity and it is also stamped 2-5/17" diameter. That should do it for the review on Part# 5973, the Draw-Tite 2-5/16" Remov-a-Ball Gooseneck Hitch Ball.

I got the product I have been looking for from etrailer, it was hard to find but they had it. Received it from shipping 2 days sooner than expected. Two Thumbs! I will definitly shop with them again!

I cant use it because it has a round shaft and not the square one witch was not specified in the description.

Ordered a ball for my gooseneck. Came right on time. Excellent to deal with. Will buy from here again!
by: John L.10/30/2017
I couldn't be happier with this product. I bought a 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 dually with a gooseneck under bed hitch installed but, I had no idea what it was due to the recently installed bed liner. Thanks to etrailer and their excellent video giving the size of the shank, pin hole etc., I was able to order with confidence knowing this ball would fit. It does and I'm a happy camper. Thanks etrailer!

I was in a bind, trying to find a ball to fit the hitch already installed (and manufacturer covered with spray on liner >:-/) and, being a newbie at gooseneck towing, I bought any old ball from Amazon. I learned my lesson that a B&W square post doesn't go in a round hole, and called the local trailer shop. They had to sell me the whole shebang (mount and ball), so I looked online instead. The descriptions here helped me find the right diameter shaft, and I was able to match the hitch in my bed with one on here, and then the cross-referencing and help articles listed with multiple balls (I almost got the hide-a-ball until I read part of the description) helped me find this exact match for my mount! Arrived in the 2 day time frame just in time for me to go get my new trailer, installed in 1 second flat, and works as advertised. Love Etrailer.com.

I strongly recommend etrailer for all your trailer needs, I purchased a Gooseneck Hitch Ball for my 3 car trailer. I received prompt service over the phone and my product arrived 3 days after I talked to Mark the salesman who was very polite and answered all my question and concerns. For all your trailer needs call etrailer "THEY'RE THE BEST"

Fits perfect. I have tested well. 20k load on it all the time. No issues

Good quality product and quick process of shipping as well. This was a smooth shopping experience. Good pics and descriptions helped us select the right gooseneck hitch ball after the one for our cattle trailer was lost.
by: Johnny06/07/2019
Most gooseneck trailer balls have too short of a neck for trailer socket to clear ball plate when crossing rough terrain, which applies extreme pressure on ball as well as trailer neck. E-trailer had tall 2 5/16” balls, good steel, very well made!

I purchased a removable gooseneck ball for for hitch on a Monday and paid for 2 day shipping received it the next day. Fast service and delivery.

Great website, most I had a hard time figure out what ball goes with my gooseneck set up but your website was perfect it gave me the model of the gooseneck that the ball needs to go to

See what our Experts say about this Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Ball
- Dimension Location of Pin Hole on Gooseneck Ball # 5973On the hitch ball part # 5973 that you referenced the center of the pin hole measures 1-1/4 inches from the bottom of it and then from the top of the shank it measures 1-1/2 inches.
view full answer... - Draw-Tite Remov-a-Ball Gooseneck Hitch Ball ReplacmentYes. The Replacement Remov-a-Ball Gooseneck Hitch Ball with 2-5/16" Diameter is # 5973. Let me know if you need anything else.
view full answer... - Can 3 Inch Gooseneck Hitch Ball be Installed on Remov-A-Ball Gooseneck Trailer HitchThe only gooseneck hitch ball size that fits the Remov-A-Ball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # 6300 is the 2-5/16" Diameter Hitch Ball # 5973. If you don't already have a gooseneck hitch just let me know the year/make/model of your pickup and I can make a recommendation for a gooseneck hitch setup that is compatible with the larger 3" diameter hitch ball size.
view full answer... - Availability of Replacement Hitch Balls for Draw Tite Gooseneck HitchesIf the portion of your hitch ball that slides into the hitch opening is square we aren't going to have a replacement gooseneck ball for it. Basically we have two styles of replacement gooseneck balls for Draw Tite hitches. We have the Hide-A-Goose style like part # 19309 which flips over and reinstalls in the hitch body and we have the Remov-a-Ball style like the part # 5973 which is either left in the hitch or taken out.
view full answer... - Recommended Gooseneck Hitch Ball for a 2017 Nissan Titan XDI am not sure what the size of the puck hole is on your 2017 Nissan Titan XD but I can say that you shouldn't use the Remov-a-Ball Gooseneck Hitch Ball # 5973 with your OEM gooseneck hitch. This hitch ball is designed to be used with the model 6300 Remov-A-Ball gooseneck trailer hitches which have a pin that runs through the hitch ball. Since your Titan XD doesn't have that pin to lock the hitch ball in place you need to use a hitch ball that has a self-locking feature. The most popular...

- Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2011 Ford F-250 Super DutyFor your 2011 Ford F-250 I recommend the B&W gooseneck hitch # BWGNRK1111. Since the trailer is a gooseneck trailer the ideal set up will be a gooseneck hitch. This way you will not have any adapters that could limit movement or add additional stress to the truck or trailer. Many people prefer the gooseneck connection over other methods, such as a 5th wheel hitch, because it pulls better and offers more movement according to people who use and like gooseneck hitches. The fact that it...
view full answer... - Does Remov-A-Ball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Have High-Rise BallThe Remov-A-Ball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # 6300-4449 you referenced comes with a standard height gooseneck hitch ball, the Remov-a-Ball Gooseneck Hitch Ball # 5973, and there is no high-rise ball available for this particular hitch. If you let me know the year, make, model, and bed size of your truck I can likely find an option for a hitch with a high-rise ball for you.
view full answer... - What is Considered a Pop-In Gooseneck Hitch BallA pop-in gooseneck hitch ball is something like the Pop-In Ball for Reese Elite Series Underbed Gooseneck Hitch # RP19315 which you turn and lock into place in your hitch. This is opposed to a ball such as the Remov-a-Ball Gooseneck Hitch Ball # 5973 which is held in place in the hitch with a pin. Gooseneck hitches with a pop-in ball should not be used with the Convert-A-Ball Multi-Cushioned Gooseneck Trailer Coupler # CG.
view full answer... - Replacement Gooseneck Hitch Ball Recommendation for a Reese HitchIf you have a Reese Remov-a-ball hitch part # 6300 then the Remov-a-Ball Gooseneck Hitch Ball with 2-5/16 inch Diameter # 5973 that you referenced would be the correct ball for you. If you have a Hide-a-Goose gooseneck like part # 9460 then you would want the Hide-A-Goose Gooseneck Hitch Ball # 19309.
view full answer... - Finding a Replacement Ball for an Unknown Gooseneck Hitch in a 2010 Dodge Ram 2500Curt Pop-In Ball # C60601 is designed specifically for 2011 to 2018 Ford trucks with the factory installed gooseneck prep package or 2013 to 2018 Ram trucks with the factory installed gooseneck prep package. If the truck you bought is not one of those then this ball won't fit even if the shank is the right size (shank is 2-1/4 inches in diameter). You didn't mention the year, make, and model of the truck so if you can give me that information I can see which gooseneck hitches are available...

- Recommended Replacement Hitch Ball For Hide-A-Goose Underbed Gooseneck Trailer HitchThe ball that is included with the Hide-A-Goose Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch, part # 9465-36, is a 2-5/16 inch diameter ball. If you need a 2-5/16 inch replacement we have 3 to choose from. First, we offer part # 19309. We also carry part # 19306, that has a 1 inch rise and the Reese Gooseneck Hitch Ball, part # 19308, that has a 5 inch offset for your hitch.

It is just the arm. The hook by itself is # 753-3583, the screw used is # 853-5972, and the nut is # 853-5973.

Obviously you don't have a B&W hitch because you asked for a round ball option versus the square shank so we can at least slightly narrow it down for your 2004 Dodge Ram. We have both Curt and Draw-Tite hitch options for you Ram, so I'll give you the part numbers for the hitch and then the...
