Video Transcript for All About the Remov-a-Ball Gooseneck Hitch Ball with 2-5/16" Diameter

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.

Buying the remov-a-ball gooseneck hitch ball from etrailer was a very simple process. Everyone i dealt with was great.Rebecca was very helpful.Iwill buy from etrailer again!

Good customer service
Really fast delivery

Excellent product quality

Managed to have “miss placed” my original hid a hitch ball. etrailer made it super easy to find a replacement while the original turns up. The product description video made it very easy to verify I was indeed getting the correct ball for my application. While other sites had photos of the product, nothing compares to having a wonderful video product description of the item. If this ball decides to go on vacation, I’ll know where to turn to get me another. Much appreciate the follow up emails detailing very fast shipping information. Couldn’t be more satisfied.



by:

Ordered a ball for my gooseneck. Came right on time. Excellent to deal with. Will buy from here again!



by:

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 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"



by:

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.



by:

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:

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!



by:

Fits my hitch perfectly.



by:

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.



by:

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
thank you



by:

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!



by:

Rec'd the Remov-a-Ball Gooseneck Hitch Ball today....much sooner than expected. The follow up by etrailer did an excellent in receiving my online order, processing it, and following through to and then after delivery. I have not put the ball on but will tomorrow.

See what our Experts say about this Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Ball

  • Finding a Replacement Ball for an Unknown Gooseneck Hitch in a 2010 Dodge Ram 2500
    Curt 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...

  • Does Remov-A-Ball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Have High-Rise Ball
    The 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.

  • What is Considered a Pop-In Gooseneck Hitch Ball
    A 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.

  • Replacement Gooseneck Round Hitch Ball for 2004 Dodge Ram Truck
    Based on the Curt 1" High-Rise Ball for Curt Double Lock, Flip and Store Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # C60603 you asked from, I'm assuming you have a gooseneck hitch and need a replacement hitch ball. 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...

  • Dimension Location of Pin Hole on Gooseneck Ball # 5973
    On 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.

  • Replacement Gooseneck Hitch Ball Recommendation for a Reese Hitch
    If 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.

  • What Gooseneck Ball To Use With 2024 Ram 3500 With OEM Puck System
    Hey Don, thanks for reaching out. We do have a gooseneck ball that will work with the OEM system in your 2024 Ram 2500, but the Remov-a-Ball Gooseneck Hitch Ball # 5973 you mentioned will not work with that. The # 5973 is only for the Remov-a-Ball model 6300 aftermarket gooseneck hitch. For the OEM system if your Ram, what you will need is an OEM style ball like the Curt # C60618. This has the latch tab on top of the ball. Or if you want an upgraded option, go with the B&W # BWGNXA2062....

  • Recommended Gooseneck Hitch Ball for a 2017 Nissan Titan XD
    I 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 Duty
    For 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...

  • Availability of Replacement Hitch Balls for Draw Tite Gooseneck Hitches
    If 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.

  • Can 3 Inch Gooseneck Hitch Ball be Installed on Remov-A-Ball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch
    The 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.
