This hitch is designed for serious towing. Rated for 20,000 lbs gross towing weight and a 5,000 lbs vertical load limit, it’s built from heavy-duty steel with a gray powder coated finish that resists corrosion. The 1" thick dual jaws wrap completely around the king pin for 360-degree contact, giving a rock-solid connection that cuts down on rattle and movement. Whether you’re pulling a large camper or toy hauler, it delivers the secure feel you want when you’re loaded up and rolling.
Backing into tight spots or maneuvering through narrow turns gets easier thanks to the built-in slider. It provides 12" of fore and aft travel to give extra clearance between your cab and trailer at slow speeds. You can shift the trailer rearward when needed without stress or second-guessing your turn angle. The slider base keeps everything aligned and stable while letting you move smoothly through those close quarters.
Hitching and unhitching stay simple with the cam-action handle that won’t bind even on uneven ground. It opens easily when you’re ready to disconnect, and if there’s any pressure between the truck and trailer, just pull forward slightly to release the jaws. The dual jaw setup not only locks in tight but also helps prevent clanking or jarring during travel. It’s a setup that feels solid every time you latch it.
The head pivots front to back and side to side to follow the motion of your trailer, helping limit chucking and bounce. It rides on polyurethane bushings that cushion movement and quiet metal-on-metal noise. That design keeps the tow smoother, especially over uneven roads, so both truck and trailer stay more stable mile after mile.
When it’s time to use your truck bed again, this hitch breaks down easily into two pieces for simple removal. The Turnoverball gooseneck hitch base mounts below the bed so there are no rails left behind—just a single hole where the hitch ball or post locks in place. Pop out the hitch components when you’re done towing and you’ve got full bed access again for gear or cargo without hassle.
This fifth-wheel trailer hitch is not compatible with Sidewinder or Revolution king pins. Do not use any device that changes the pivot point of your trailer’s king pin with this hitch.

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this B&W Turnoverball gooseneck custom installation kit for the Toyota trucks. Now this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 2022 Toyota Tundra trucks, both the short and long bed model trucks. And on a custom fit part like this, I do recommend for you to go to our website, use the fit guide, put in your year model vehicle, and I'll show you this will work for your application. Now this rail kit will let you install your B&W Turnoverball gooseneck trailer hitch to your vehicle.
Now that hitch we do sell separate on our website. It's part number BW36FR, and it's usually listed on this product page, as a related product. Now we also sell this installation kit with that hitch included as a complete kit, and that's part number BW96FR. Now this installation kit here will install under the bed of your truck, and since it's a custom fit, will use mostly the existing holes that are on your vehicle frame already. It is a sturdy steel construction.
Has a nice powder coat finish on it to resist corrosion. And as we mentioned, it's custom fit for your vehicle, so it will include all the brackets that are needed, all the hardware installation, and an even nice set of detailed instructions it'll describe how this all goes together. Now the weight capacity on this was limited to that of your vehicle, and these parts are made in the USA. But that should do it for the review on this B&W Turnoverball gooseneck custom installation kit for the Toyota trucks..
Ratings & Reviews
This this is heavy and strong. The only thing that did not meet my expectation is the draw down bolt prevents the hitch from being removed by simply opening the gooseneck locking pin. But the drawdown bolt keeps this hitch quite in the bed and tight, no rattling when unloaded! Great product and customer support!
Extremely slow shipping, No military discount. Customer service was good over the phone. Over 1 week for item to arrive. Do better.
I've had this for about a year. Only have about 2,000 miles of use with a 13,000 lbs 5th wheel travel trailer.
It is still like new. Jaws are tight, no rattles with or without the trailer attached.
I use a nylon guide plate, to keep things clean.
The only issue is the slider will not unlatch from the locked position with the trailer attached.
Unlatch and slides fine when not loaded.
Just haven't made the time to talk to B&W about this.
The base is a heavy bugger, and fits snug in the receptical. I've lifted it in and out myself, but not a smart idea.
Overall I would buy again. For our use, where we need the whole bed the majority of time it is an easy solution.

Youll want to make sure that the slider rails are lubricated. Also keep in mind that if the truck and trailer are at different angles and theres a lot of pressure placed on the sliding mechanism, it can bind.

A year later, and it still works the same. Slider still doesnt work. but havent needed it. One thing I have learned is to make sure the lug from the attachment is lubricated before placed into the receiver. After about 8 months of being in the bed, I tried to remove it. Whoah! That was a son of a gun. Finally got it to break free, and then it lifted out. both the lug of the companion hitch, and the receiver of the B&W are nicely powder coated. that powder coating locked together. Nothing patience and a pry bar couldnt fix. But I dont want a repeat. Over all, I may look at something easier for our next travel season.
Delivered on time if not earlier. Put it items in driveway off to the side and out of the way so I wouldn’t have to move again. Driver took the time and thought thru where to put the items.
Just started 5th wheel camping and wanted a hitch that when removed left my truck box bare. I also talked to alot of people who talked about clunking and noise from their hitch while towing. I bought a 2013 32' Coachman which is pushing my 2009 F150 to its max. When pulling with this hitch it feels like the truck and trailer are one unit. No noise and no slop between the two units. I made a lifting pin that goes into the jaws and lifts it out with a comealong hooked to a rafter support in my garage. I then put it onto a wheel cart I made. No heavy lifting and one person can do it all. I've had one teflon foot fall of the hitch and the service was amazing no questions, no pictures, and no waiting. New piece was sent right away. Anyone who tows now and has looked at the hit are very impressed. I would definitly recomend this hitch to everyone.

Every thing has been working good. Seems to take a good jolt to get it to slide with the trailer attached. Still a great product
Was as described very heavy, I would have given 5 stars but after installing I tried to take up. Not gonna happen unless I have some kind of hoist.

Very Good, just wish I had got without slider as never use this part. When I tried to use it it would the fifth wheel would hit to of tail gate. I have no problem at cab of truck when forward. E trailer is my first choice when I make a purchase for my truck.
Easy install and a smooth ride.
Easy to install and easy to use.
This hitch works extremely well. The slide is nice if you get into any tight cornering situations. The hitch top and base separate making it a bit easier to mount and unmount.The lock washer used with the mounting bolt that draws up against the gooseneck pin broke on the 2nd use. I had 2 different torque wrenches set to 79 lbs that I tested the bolt with. Unsure why it broke. But overall we love this hitch and we pull a 38f 5ver without issue. Very smooth ride.

The B & W Companion hitch has serviced us very well for the last year. Weve been out on about 8 trips during the past year.
Excellent experience all the way around! From customer service to sales all the way to will call. Product was easy to install and works excellent.
Quality product....impressed with the workmanship of B&W. Can't wait to hook 'er up and use it. Shipping was slow but worth the wait.
Best one out there by far.
Really like this unit with the slide option. With the under the bed option it is also nice that I can remove it and have full bed access. The slide is great as maneuvering is improved significantly without worry of hitting your cab. Assembly is simple. It is heavy so be prepared when installing to have some help but can be handled pretty easily.
Fast shipping and the box was in perfect condition. I appreciate the amazing customer service. They were friendly and had a good attitude when I called with questions. I look forward to shopping with them in the future. The shipping company called ahead of time and scheduled the delivery because it was such a large item they were friendly and was within their timeframe. Thank you etrailer.com I appreciate it.
Too heavy for one person to install unless you did what I had to do (alone without any help). Removed the bolt from the tailgate end of the roller tubes, pulled the tubes out and separated the upper assemble from the lower bed contact assembly. Doing that allowed me to lift each piece into the bed without tracking down a neighbor.
Works great. Love the slide feature. Let's me move the clack back so I can fuel up the generator without needing to unhook. Coach just floates behind truck with this hitch. Super simple to hookup and unhook as well.
Extremely easy install. You will need a torque wrench that’ll go up to 110 ft/lbs. glad I did my research and went with the B&w gooseneck hitch in anticipation of getting this 5th wheel companion hitch at a later time.
Outstanding product! Purchased for a 2020 Dodge Ram 2500 w/6.4L Hemi. It took my wife & I about 8 hours to install & everything went together nicely. ~2 hour delay because I wasn’t paying attention & installed the base backwards & had to build a gantry to lift it out. I definitely recommend greasing the round hitch receiver in the bed floor & the square hitch in the base before installing to make removal easier. I recommend the product & looking forward to years of goose neck & 5th wheel hitch use.
This hitch is one fine piece of equipment. Instructions were perfectly detailed and if that's not enough there are videos to guide you. Installed in 4 hours with no problems. Haven't gone anywhere yet but did hook up to camper and was impressed. 2017 Ram 2500 Short Bed

I’m still very impressed with this hitch no problems and no slop
Fantastic product! Worked great. Just heavy definitely need 2 people to install it.
The best 5th wheel I have ever owned. It is very easy and quiet to slide and not a lot of noise going down the highway even if the road is a little rough. It is a little heavy but my cherry picker hoist makes it an easy job if I need to remove it. I did make a rolling stand for moving it around. Also I like no rails in the bed when it is removed.

It is still the best 5th wheel hitch that Ive owned. Very minor maintenance required. Just a little white lithium grease on the swivel points and a Teflon plate instead of grease.
it surpassed my expectations with the quality of this hitch and shipping was crazy fast definitely impressed
Solid, well built hitch. Arrived sooner than expected, and was a breeze to assemble and install. Thanks Etrailer for consistent service as always.
