Most Popular Manual Ball Removal for 2019 Ram 3500

I just received the ball hitch today so I haven't used it yet. It is very well made and its nice to have it all in a case that is portable and able to stow away when we have the fifth wheel hitch on. Everything just as stated and pictured. Great company, shipping was fast and free.

Heavy duty. Works as it should. Safety anchors are the correct size for the chains unlike Mopar or Reece.

I installed this gooseneck hitch in my truck so I can use my single point mount B&W Companion. This installation was a little different since the truck has the factory prep package. The factory gooseneck uses four vertical bolts that go down from the top and cannot be removed without raising the bed. I left those bolts in place and reused the factory nuts and used the four B&W bolts in the horizontal positions. It worked perfectly. The only problem I had was the left front vertical mounting bolt hit one of the handle bracket bolts so I had to make some minor adjustments to the handle bracket. I also did not install the B&W chain hooks because I have the puck mount rings if I need them. The B&W gooseneck hitch appears to be much more heavy duty than the factory setup.

Using the goose neck hitch with my B&w companion to haul my 5th wheel. I've had this type of setup for a few years now and this us the first install I've done myself. I'm a competent mechanic but when the instructions say optional, I tend to not do it... I paid for that in this case. Drop the tire, lower the exhaust, remove the heat shield and life is a bit easier. A side note, watch your head on the spare tire holder, it hurts. All in all a fairly straight forward install. Watch for hole saw walk when cutting the hole in the bed, it tends to want to eat an area larger than what is required. Also, use a ratchet strap on the exhaust to pull it down once out of the hanger to help give the required clearance.

Perfect fit & finish. Very fast shipping great quality

I previously owned a B&W hitch in my last truck which was awesome quality. I got my new truck with the factory gooseneck prep and it was a no brainer to order a B&W ball for it. The quality is amazing and it arrived days before it was supposed to.

I really liked the product and it got to me in a timely maner. The only thing that was wrong was I was 4 lock nuts short (the ones that go the the safty chain u bolts) and 2 washers short. I dont live in town so I had to drive 30min to go get thoes few parts. There cheap parts so its not worth contacting the company and haveing to wait another week for them. It was easy to put in and works like a champ.

Havent had it installed yet but the trailer guy who is going to do it is impressed for the money and says it will be an easy install..

Extremely quick delivery and a quality product. I originally tried to get the OEM hitch and they are back ordered until the end of June. This is just as good, maybe better, at a lower price.

just as advertised. Well pleased. Great communications and fast freight.

Curt and Pollak make a great product and etrailer is a great site, I come here for all my towing needs now! My only issue is that the instructions for the gooseneck hitch were kind of vague. I got it on in about 3 1/2 hours taking my time and making sure it was right. Other than that I would purchase a Curt and Pollak product again!

Easy installation. We had 3 guys and were done in 20 minutes less than instructions said. Works fine as frog's hair! When measuring the hole in the bed remember to measure from the front of the bed and rear! Then look underneath for the bed crossmember.

Just purchased a 2020 GMC 3500 Denali with the OEM package. The OEM package did not include the gooseneck ball and chain hooks. So after looking around I purchased the B&W Ball and safety chain kit from etrailer.com and what a great choice. Product works great. I love the look and the safety latch/ handle on the ball itself, keeps from getting grease on your hands when installing/removing the ball. Excellent product

Great hitch and easy to use. I did have to lift up the bed a little bit to install it. Took me about 5 hours because of that but otherwise it is a great hitch. The rings for the safety chains stay on the bed and the ball flips over and stows away completely.

Seems to be very well built. Shipping was very fast. Will definitely purchase other products.

Works like a charm. Works in both my Ford 350 and my GMC 3500.

For the price of the product, packaging was terrible, product arrived with paint missing from several large areas due to shipping damage. Box was barely intact when it arrived. Also was missing one of the large grade 8 4.25” long bolts. So after a trip to the hardware store to replace the missing bolt and buy some paint to fix the damaged finish, got it installed pretty easy.

Excellent underbody hitch system. Installation went well once the body was off. If your installing on a late model ford you may want to be sure you have new bed bolts available. Ford says they are not reusable for some reason but it did not matter in my case. Even though I put PB rust blaster on 2 days in advance the cage nuts broke the cage and spun. Ended up having to grind the tops off to remove the body and then using some heat to custom bend a box end wrench to get into the box frame so I was able to remove the (now) studs. This was on a 4 year old truck but New England winters at work here i’m sure. Once the body was off installation was a breeze. Fit is perfect.

Bought this drawtite gooseneck hitch for my 2007 Dodge 2500 to pull and 8000lb horse trailer. Love it! It's simple design, easy to install, and "no profile" when folded down not in use. Caution if this is your first install - be VERY careful taking measurements to cut the hole in bed, you only get one chance to get it right. Totally recommend. Great price.

I ordered a gooseneck hitch late Thursday evening and it arrived the next Monday, as estimated by the salesman. I'm very well pleased with the product, the ease of installation, and the professional-courteous service I received.
