Video Transcript for Replacement Ball for Reese Elite Series Gooseneck Hitches Review
Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Reese Power Replacement Ball. This is 2-5/16. This is going to work for our Reese Elite Series Gooseneck. This is also going to work for what we've got here today, our Ford factory prep package or our Dodge factory prep package. This is part number RP19311. This ball offers us a 30,000-pound towing capacity, so it's going to be very rugged and very sturdy. Main metal portion here is going to be 1 piece, not going to have to worry about any flex points or anything like that, and then really, really simple to operate.
Got the black lever right here on top. We lift that up and simply rotate it. When we do, that's going to allow our balls to go into the actual shaft here of the ball mount. We'll want to remove our cover or whatever might be over our gooseneck area. Now, if there's any dirt or any kind of corrosion or anything in there, you'll want to clean that out. Ours is pretty clean there though.
Then, we're going to drop this in. Now, as we do, these balls line up with the groove that goes all the way around the outside, so we don't have to worry about having it in the exact right position or anything like that. Drop it in, turn to lock. Then, you can see we're nice and secure, ready to hook up our gooseneck trailer here and head right on down the road. Now, when it's all said and done, we need access to our bed, it's just a simple matter of lifting up the catch there, turning it, lifting our ball out. Nice and easy.
You can see how as we engage that latch, it forces those balls out to hold it in place. That's going to complete our look at the Reese Tow Power Replacement Ball for Reese Elite Series and Factory Ford and Dodge Gooseneck Hitches, part number RP19311.

solid, very heavy. Makes me wonder how dangerous pulling the tag trailers I have relying on a couple of bolts.

My order came about because of Dodge RAM’s recall of their gooseneck ball. They don’t have an answer as to why the ball is not staying in place, or who the manufacturer is. I have a suspicion that Mopar is Reese. I’m pleased with what I received and how it installed, a great fit. Time will eventually show the product is fine and that those very few that have had issues more than likely made a hasty install and failed to take the time to give it a couple of tugs to insure a secure connection. Thanks for your great service.

Have been using this hitch ball for a year now in my hot shot truck. Have put over 100k miles on the truck in this time frame without any problems at all. I highly recommend it, and would buy it again if needed. Thanks for making a great product.

I have a 2013 Ram 3500 DRW with the factory installed gooseneck hitch. I did not order the factory gooseneck ball and safety chain loops. This product is the exact thing your order from Ram. I ordered this item and the tall safety chain loops, and it was forty dollars cheaper than the kit from Ram. The gooseneck ball fits perfectly and is well built. The release mechanism is easy to use even with gloves on.

Bought this Ball for my factory installed Ford F-350 hitch package. It is slick and the price was right . The only issue is I paid for 3 day shipping and the carrier took 7 days.

The product is flawless and works well. Yet the best thing is the company selling the product. I have purchased multiple items from etrailer.com and have never been let down. Shipping on time, great selection, exceptional on line help when needed. Just click and buy that's all you need to do. Keep up the great job guys.

I had just recently installed the mopar oem gooseneck hitch onto my Ram 2500 and found out the ram oem gooseneck ball was recalled so I needed to find a replacement. The dealer was selling the curt gooseneck and chain tie downs for the puck system which my truck has but the problem was is that I liked the Reese gooseneck ball and the curt tie downs. my research found out that the Andersen chain loops didn’t close around the Reese model. So I decided to mix and match. I purchased the reese drop in gooseneck ball and the curt tie downs. They arrived two days after I made the order by phone. They said two days and it was two days exactly. When I opened the boxes the parts were neatly packaged with no damage. I am very happy.

This company is great at what they do, anything you need they are there to help. Fast response and very helpful. Don’t buy from that other online retailer, purchase directly from them faster service and you actually get the chance to communicate with an expert.

Ask the Experts about this Reese Trailer Hitch Ball
- Gooseneck Ball for a 2017 Ford F-350 with Factory Gooseneck Trailer HitchGooseneck ball # RP19311 does fit the factory gooseneck hitch in a 2017 Ford F-350. You could also use Curt ball # C60692 which also comes with safety chain loops and costs less.
view full answer... - Gooseneck Hitch Ball Recommendation for 2017 Ford F-350 with Factory Rail KitThe Reese Replacement Ball part # RP19311 is the correct gooseneck ball for your 2017 Ford F-350 that has the factory rail kit. This will install right into the gooseneck hitch opening you have and you'd be set. I attached an install video for this ball for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Can B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch BWRVK3500 Be Adapted for Ford OEM Puck SystemIf you have the B&W Companion 5th wheel hitch # BWRVK3500, which is intended for installation in a square-shank B&W install kit like # BWGNRK1111-5W, then this hitch cannot be installed in the Ford OEM puck system. B&W makes a Companion hitch specifically for this other installation, part # BWRVK3300, which drops into the factory pucks.
view full answer... - Reese Elite Gooseneck Ball With Andersen Ultimate 5TH Wheel HitchThe Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch 3220 will fit onto the Reese Gooseneck Ball # RP19311. This ball can not be used as a Replacement Ball # AM3201 on the Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch # AM3200.
view full answer... - Made In The USA Gooseneck Ball for 2019 Ram 2500 With OEM Prep Puck HitchThe Reese Replacement Ball # RP19311 is a Reese product even though it doesn't have their name stamped on the product. Reese does make this product in China. For a Made In The USA product the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2062 is the one I recommend. This will also give you the safety chain mounts as well as a carry case to keep everything together.
view full answer... - Does Reese Pop-In Ball # RP19311 have to be GreasedNo greasing is specifically mentioned when using the Pop-in ball # RP19311 but it certainly can be greased. The inner mechanisms would also benefit from a shot of some spray white lithium grease # L11363.
view full answer... - Reese Elite Series Gooseneck Ball Kit for 2018 Ram 3500 with Factory PrepIt sounds like what you're looking for is the Reese Elite Series Pop-In Ball Kit # RP30140. This kit is made specifically for the factory prep kit installed in your 2018 Ram 3500 long-bed truck. This kit includes the correct hitch ball, safety chain loops, hole cover and a carry bag.
view full answer... - Taller Gooseneck Ball for the Reese Elite Series Hitches in a 2011 Ford F-250/350 Super DutyWe carry a ball for the Reese Elite series gooseneck hitches and the Ford factory installed hitches that has a 1 inch rise. It is # RP19315. If you are adding a bed liner and/or mat, you are going to have to trim the liner/mat around the gooseneck ball so that the coupler will fit properly over the ball. There needs to be nothing between the bed and the bottom of the coupler to account for pitch, roll, and turning.
view full answer... - Availability of Replacement Gooseneck Ball for 2014 Ram 3500 w/factory GooseneckYes, it will. I spoke with my Reese representative, and have confirmed that the # RP19311 2-5/16 inch gooseneck ball will work in the OEM Gooseneck hitch in your 2014 Ram 3500 Dually. If you need the safety chain loops, the storage bag and the rubber cover for the hole where the ball inserts, use part # RP30140.
view full answer... - Is There a Difference Between RP87FR and RP39FR for 2020 Ford F-350 Super DutyThe two parts you mentioned are both the same Reese Elite Series Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit that fit your 2020 Ford F-350 Super Duty, giving you the ability to pull a gooseneck trailer with a gooseneck ball or use a 5th wheel hitch in the puck system. The only difference is that we have one listed as a 5th wheel install kit and the other as a gooseneck hitch, but the # RP39FR and # RP87FR are the exact same, the Reese Elite Series Underbed Kit. So you can just get the less...
view full answer... - Weight of 5th Wheel Hitches for 2020 Ram 2500 Long Bed with Factory Puck SystemRight now we carry two hitches that fit into your 2020 Ram 2500's factory prep package; the Reese M5 # RP30918, and the Demco Recon # DM8550045-5W. The Recon is the lighter one at under 150 pounds. It's different though because it doesn't mount to the pucks it installs over the gooseneck ball. So you'll need a ball as well like # RP19311. The Reese M5 weighs about 180 pounds or so. Of the two, I prefer the Recon because of its weight. Not only is it lighter but it's also easy to...
view full answer... - Recommended 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter for 2018 Ram 3500The reason the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G is not recommended for use with factory-installed gooseneck prep packages on Fords from 2011-present and Ram from 2013-present is because they use gooseneck hitch ball # RP19311 that has a plastic handle on top (see photo) that folds into the hitch ball and the Convert-A-Ball # CAB-C5G has a nut on the inside that will damage the gooseneck ball. For that reason, if you wanted to use the Convert-A-Ball on...

- Curt Gooseneck Hitch Ball Stuck in Factory Hitch on 2014 Ford F-250It sounds like the Curt Pop-In Ball part # C60601 has become stuck in the factory gooseneck hitch on your 2014 Ford F-350. If that is the case then the first thing you are going to want to do is spay copious amounts of lube between the collar and hitch ball, around where you think the retention balls would be. Then let this sit for an hour or so or overnight if you can. Then you till want to take a rubber mallet and tap the hitch ball while lifting the release latch to see if you can get...
view full answer... - Are the Factory Gooseneck Hitch Balls for Ford and Ram the SameYes, the gooseneck hitch balls for the factory prep packages are the same for Ram and Ford. If you need a new hitch ball for either of these systems than you can use the Curt Pop-In Ball part # C60601 or the Reese Pop-In Ball part # RP19311.
view full answer... - How To Use the Convert-A-Ball Multi-Cushioned Gooseneck Coupler With Ram Factory Gooseneck HitchYes, I do have options for a Ram 3500 to use with the Convert-A-Ball Multi-Cushioned Gooseneck Trailer Coupler part # CG. The Curt Pop-In Ball for Factory Ford and Ram Underbed Gooseneck Hitches part # C60601 will work just fine. The issue with the Convert-A-Ball Multi-Cushioned Gooseneck Trailer Coupler is not the placement of the lever but rather the construction. The factory pop-in and some aftermarket pop-in gooseneck hitch balls like the Reese Elite Series and Factory Ford and Dodge...
view full answer... - Replacement Ball Only for 2015 Ford F-350 with Factory Gooseneck Trailer HitchFor your 2015 Ford F-350 that came with the factory gooseneck hitch you can use replacement ball # RP19311 or # C60601. Either ball will fit.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Options for a 2012 Ford F-350 With Factory 5th Wheel Prep PackageThe fifth wheel prep package that you have on your 2012 Ford F-350 is compatible with the Reese M5 Series fifth wheel hitches. There are two M5 Series fifth wheel hitches that are available, the M5 Series 20K hitch and the M5 Series 27K hitch, # RP30922. If your fifth wheel trailer weighs more than 18,000 lbs when it is fully loaded, then I recommend the 27K hitch. If you have a short bed truck you'll also need to use a sidewinder pin box to push the pivot point of your trailer back...

- Greaseless Hitch Ball Compatibility with Factory Gooseneck PackageThe Rapid Hitch Adjustable, Aluminum Ball Mount Kit w/ 2 Greaseless Balls # AM3405 is a cool feature but is not available for any gooseneck hitch. The Curt Pop-In Ball for Factory Chevy/GM, Ford, and Nissan Underbed Gooseneck Hitches - 2-5/16" # C60629 or the Reese # RP19311 are the only options for that fit. If you want to reduce friction and noise, you can use the White Grease Hitch Ball Lube # 58117 but there is not a greaseless option at this time. The Replacement Nylon Cap for...

view full answer... - Will Reese Elite Gooseneck Ball Kit # Rp30137 Fit 2014 Dodge Ram With Factory Prep PackageI spoke with my contact at Cequent about the Elite Gooseneck Kit # RP30137. These are designed for the Ford prep tow package. Although there are customers that have used these in the front pucks on their Dodge Ram, it is not recommended to use the safety chains in the front pucks. For the 2014 Dodge Ram with the hitch prep package, the kit I recommend is part # RP30140. This is designed for Dodge trucks with the hitch prep package installed. If the safety chain holder is all that is...

- Replacement Hitch Ball for 2002 Ford F-250 with Ford Style Reese Elite Rail KitI believe the ball you are looking for is the Reese part # RP19311. This ball fits the Ford factory rail kits and the Reese Elite series gooseneck hitch/fifth wheel rail kits that actually ended up becoming the Ford factory rail kits. Since you have puck setup you have the Elite rail kit and the ball you'd need would be the # RP19311. I attached a picture of this hitch ball next to the socket it fits for you to check out and compare to what you have if you are unsure.

- Why Cant Convert-A-Ball Multi-Cushioned Gooseneck Coupler CG Be Used with Ford Gooseneck BallFord and Ram factory gooseneck balls that have a plastic tab on the top, like part # RP19311, are not recommended for use with the Convert-A-Ball Multi-Cushioned Gooseneck Trailer Coupler # CG because the steel surface inside the coupler can chew up that plastic and damage the ball.
view full answer... - Goose Neck 2015 Dodge Ram 2500 4X4 Mega Cab with Towing Prep Package.The Reese Replacement Ball for Reese Elite Series Gooseneck Hitches # RP19311 that you referenced will fit in your 2015 Ram 2500 with factory tow prep package. This was confirmed by my contact at Reese. This item is a ball only. If you need the safety chain hookups you will instead want part # RP30140. Both balls carry the same 30K rating.

I was able to find the Hide-A-Goose Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch - 20,000 lbs # 9467 is what you currently have. The ball you need is the Replacement Ball for Reese Elite Series and Factory Ford and Dodge Gooseneck Hitches - 2-5/16" # RP19311. The replacement spring and nut you need are only available in the kit # 58312.
view full answer... - Pop-In Gooseneck Ball and Safety Chain Loops for a 2016 Ram 2500 with OEM Prep PackageI spoke with my contact at Reese, who makes the under bed kit for the 2016 Ram 2500, and for a ball only you can use # RP19311. The safety chain loops in the kit # RP30137 will not work with the Ram, though the ball would. Dealerships may not be aware that this ball will fit the Fords and the Rams for 2016. I have linked a video review of this ball for you. For a ball with the safety chain loops that will fit I recommend # RP30140 or # C60618.
view full answer... - Will Curt Spyder Gooseneck Hitch Fit Reese Adapter for 2014 Ram with OEM 5th Wheel Prep PackageThe Curt Spyder gooseneck trailer hitch # 16085 will fit in the inner set of slots on the Reese adapter # RP30154 for the 2014 Ram with OEM prep package. But it will be much easier, less expensive, and you will not have to use an adapter in another adapter to just use the proper ball to fit the OEM prep package on your Ram. The ball is # RP19311. For a kit that includes the ball, safety chain loops, cap, and storage bag use # RP30140.
view full answer... - How To Use Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter On Ram with Factory Prep PackageThe Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter part # CAB-C5G is not designed to be used with certain factory gooseneck hitch balls like part # RP19311 as the integrated locking level on the top of the ball can wear down over time and make the latch inoperable. That said, we do have gooseneck hitch balls compatible with the factory prep package and the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter like the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ram Underbed Gooseneck Trailer...
