Most Popular B and W for Ford F-150

I love this hitch, I am 72 yrs. old, and I installed it myself in 4 hours. no missing parts and everything fit as it should.

I've had this installed for a almost a year, and it works great. I added the 4" off-set ball because I have a short-bed F-150 truck, and the off-set centers the weight above the axel. I like the B&W design, because the receiver is a square, and minimizes rattle. There are cheaper options, but they don't have the square interface. The added cost is well worth the additional security. I have comfortably towed at the 10,000 lbs limit of my truck, and have accumulated more than 1,000 miles over the last year.

Great hitch! I put this on my 2021 F-150 LB to tow our 10k lb fifth wheel and it worked exceptionally. I love how the ball can hide away to let you use the full bed for other things. Took about two hours to install, including cutting the holes and painting them. You'll want two people for this install. I paired this with an Anderson Ultimate Connection gooseneck hitch and Roadmaster Active Suspension system and my little 3.5l V6 1/2 ton towed this trailer with ease.

Great product, handled my 18,000lb GVW 5th Wheel with-out issues. Fast delivery and great customer service too!

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!

Your product has met all of my expectations. It fit my truck as you said it would. I am going to pull a fifth wheel with it.

Very good service and parts fit perfect , Thank for your help

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.

Difficult to determine installation ease, as I had the bed off my truck while installing. That made it very easy, but instructions were good and its a straightforward process. Very well made, and fit precisely on my truck. I think the B&W system is very tough to beat. Solid and dependable. And their after sale customer service is excellent.

Excellent hitch for maintaining full access to your bed when you aren’t towing. Solo installation took about one afternoon. I recommend using a hole saw for the 4 inch big hole and a step drill for the safety chain bolts. The hitch bolted to existing factory holes in the frame as advertised. I was impressed that I could still buy something that fit like this for my 1995 F-250.

1997 ford f250 Works great, except the turnover part, the ball hits the sway bar. Install was not as easy as stated but that's probably because the kit was more of a universal fit for my truck and I had to do a lot of drilling.

I got a reduce price on a B&W weld in five wheel ball mount do to cosmetic scathing on tow ball which was almost non excestant save 65 dollars as usual B&W makes the most high qaulty parts and e trail are always excellent shipping was faster than they said. Thx again for passing on the savings to the customer

Came in a timely manner, about a week from the time I ordered it to it delivered to my door step in Alaska. The hitch itself is very high quality with nice clean welds and sharp clean edges which took almost no prep work to weld in to the frame I had built for it. You could tell by looking at this that B&W uses nice welding equipment and employs quality welders. Overall very happy with this. Installed on Monroe flatbed on F-450 cab and chassis truck.

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.

Installation was straight forward and it's well built. Works smoothly. etrailer was awesome as usual with shipping and service. However.... ;) on the BWGNRK1400 for '73-'87 GM trucks, the predrilled holes in the hitch for the safety chain u-bolts are 6-1/4" each way from center of the ball. This places the matching holes you have to drill in the truck bed on the sloped edge of the ribs, not in the center of the valley as intended. The instructions read as if the holes are not pre-drilled but they are, so I contacted B&W and asked if I can drill new holes at 8-3/4" each way of the ball so that they center in the next valley and they said no, that will void the warranty. So I had to do some bodywork, cut, weld and grind to scallop the ribs around the anchors to they won't always be sticking up (defeating the flat floor intent of this hitch design). I saw guy on [online] noted this was an issue on his squarebody bed as well. B&W needs to look at this dimension for future installations to help out the next guy.

I love my hitch . I love how I can turn it over and I can still have use of the full truck bed. I could of bought a cheaper hitch but the quality is by far better than other hitches I have owned in the past. Customer service was great after they helped me fix my ordering mistake. Very happy with my hitch.

I was very satisfied from ordering to instillation. Great people and very concerned about your satisfaction. Instructions were complete and easy to follow. Saved approximately 50% in cost. Thanks etrailer

These units are easy to install and easy to use for both ball and 5th wheel towing. Putting it on a ‘97 F350, found all the holes aligned perfectly. Made it possible to switch vehicles to tow a 5’r using the companion hitch.

It did what I needed it to do and the videos were helpful especially when having to drill the hole in the bed.

This is my second B&W GN hitch from Etrailer. 1st is over 2 years and this one is a year. Both have worked almost flawlessly. Only issue I have is that the ball release latch on this last one is really difficult to get to stay latched open to turn the ball.

This B&W hitch preforms perfectly, my Companion Hitch slips right in and away we go, also it was very easy to install with having the template for the ball cut out, I also hook right on to my goose neck straight ball. Release mechanism works great. I keep a little lubricant applied to help it from seizing up when I'm not using it, awesome hitch, I've had a B & W Hitch for 24 years in two different trucks.

Between the videos and the instructions it was very easy to follow. If you’re like me and don’t want to cut your fender liners I simply removed the front bed bolts and jacked one side up to slide in the mounting rails. The only fender I had to cut was the drivers side to allow for the latch pin lever. I really like just how “flush” the hitch really is once you turn over the ball. Overall very impressed with the hitch so far and have already recommended the hitch to other family members and friends.

This hitch is great and I installed it with no problems. This is the hitch to buy if you want quality and strength. The removable ball stores away and is right where you need it.
