Star rating: would give 6 stars for excellence +, but, alas, I am stuck with 5 being the max. rating. This may sound overly enthusiastic, as it is often better to leave room for improvement, but with you guys everything is so well documented and explained in the videos on the web, it's like I'm right there on the premises talking to an etrailer tech... so the entire shopping experience feels like this perfect package. Leaves me with nothing but to say, keep up the excellent work.1252328
This system is soooo easy to use. etrailer had a good price and made it easy to order on the web, definitely recommend the company and the product for anyone that has this style of hitch1042522

This product works as well as the day I bought it. It has towed a 20,000 pound trailer over 5000 miles and never had a glitch. Great product, would definitely purchase again.

Also have the Curt (GM OEM). Prefer the B&W as easier/cleaner to add/remove. The B&W chain hooks are big enough to allow passthrough of cable safety "chain" hooks where the Curt were not. Works great after a year of towing a 3 horse steel gooseneck trailer.954971

Still my preferred hitch for the reasons originally stated. Quick to installremove and solid in the receptors.

This is an awesome product and easy to use. The storage case it comes with is a plus! Would definitely recommend.1281854
Very nicely finished pieces, as is typical of all B&W product.
The lever on the handle is spring loaded and is what locks the ball into the coupler. There is just enough clearance between the stem of the ball, and reciprocal in the bed, so the ball doesn't get stuck. The carry case is a good heavy construction, and the chain couplers are easy to use.1273106

the hitch works great. I do wish I had a better way to keep the socket clean from dirt. But, my biggest problem is snow and ice. I think I'll find some material that I can turn in my lathe that will fit into the socket to protect it better than just a cap. I'll think about building one. Anyway, thanks for the hitch, it works great and the handle keeps my hand's clean.1261288

This has worked very good for me. Easy to use and works fine with the 5th wheel hitch I have. This makes it easier taking my hitch out and didn't have to have brackets installed in my truck. Leaves the bed flat for other uses. Had a lot of good help from everyone I talked to at etrailer.635523
Have always had B&W turnover balls in the past this is my first truck with the puck system and I like the handle and is a much better fit than the factory curt ball that came with my truck (2022 GMC)1276355

Works as designed. I hotshot heavy haul freight daily and it's stood up the heaviest loads from coast to coast. I've hauled a loaded trailer at 37K almost every day since purchased last year with no issues.1298971

Great quality. Easy to use . Because of height of ball , I now have more clearance between trailer and truck bed.977991

The B&W goose neck ball is great. Very strong & durable . No issues with 5th wheel hitting bed of truck , unlike standard ball. Saved me a lot of money by not having to raise the trailer.

The Ball and Safety chain kit are fabulous. I can unhook my 5th Wheel and within 30 seconds I have the full use of my truck bed. The installation handle and plastic case allows me to keep grease on the ball and not on my hands. I use this ball with a Reese 20K Goosebox for a smooth pull of my 16800 lb 5th Wheel. I highly recommend this setup if you use your truck for more than just a tow vehicle.1195699

The hitch is great. Much better than our old arrangement with a big steel plate and holes cut or drilled in the bed. USPS was painfully slow with the delivery.1282016

This unit fit perfectly in factory "puck" system on my 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD. Handle makes installing/removing simple and keeps your hands clean. Easy to carry all three pieces in included hard case. Made is USA.496494
Name Brand, and exceptional product. Out homemade gooseneck sat low on the sides, and always worried me about hitting the sides of my bed.. the lift on this ball removed that worry. Definitely recommend1233394

I bought this in anticipation of purchasing a gooseneck dump trailer. I bought the B&D hitch because I have a B&D 5th wheel hitch. The quality of that hitch and ease of use is so great that I had to have the B&D gooseneck hitch too. It appears to be well made and super easy to use.1201990

Equipment is as advertised. Haven't had a chance to use it. But since it is B&W product I don't expect any problems. And if there is, B&W will take care of it.935229

I’ve not had any negative issues with my B & W gooseneck Ball and safety chains. Easy installation and removal. And with the B & W brand I know it is dependable.

Love the product. Use it almost daily! Hitches highly dependable and easy to switch ball size among my different trailers. Best hitch I’ve purchased.
I went out to the warehouse and found that the height of the hitch ball in the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061 for your 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 measured 5-3/4" from the bottom of the platform to the top of the hitch ball. I have attached a photo demonstrating this for you. view full answer...
The recommended minimum clearance between gooseneck trailer overhang and truck bed rails is 4-6 inches. I'd recommend 6 inches but a lot of people get by with just 4. Ideally you have at least 6 inches of clearance and the trailer is sitting totally level. view full answer...
First thing to try is soaking the hitch ball in as much WD-40 that you can so that you can hopefully free it up. Let it sit overnight and maybe hit it with a rubber mallet as well. The next thing you can try is putting the weight of a gooseneck trailer on it to see if that releases whatever is binding the ball up. view full answer...
Yes, we have a taller gooseneck ball that fits the OEM rail kit of your 2020 Ford F-350 with the B and W ball part # BWGNXA2061 which measures 5-3/4 inches above the truck bed to the top. See attached picture and review video. This is the tallest option
For more bed rail clearance you could also try lowering the Goose Box to a lower set of mounting holes on the trailer frame as well. view full answer...
The tallest hitch ball that fits your 2020 Ford F-350 factory rail kit is the B&W Ball # BWGNXA2061 which measures 5-3/4" from the base to the top of the hitch ball. This is about 1/2 inch tall than most hitch ball fits.

I recommend the 30,000 lb B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ford, GM, and Nissan Titan Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNXA2061 which fits down into the OEM prep package on your Chevy. The B&W ball comes with an integrated easy handle to help remove the ball. It also comes with a nice carrying case. view full answer...
We do have a B&W Gooseneck Hitch available for the 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 with the OEM prep package.

For your 2020 Ford F-350 with the factory puck system, your best option will be with the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061. The hitch ball included with this kit, which is designed to drop right into that center puck on your F-350, is the tallest compatible option available. From the truck bed floor to the top of the ball there will be a height of 5-3/4". For reference this is about 5/8" taller than the Curt alternative.
This B&W kit also includes the two safety chain hookups... view full answer...

The weight rating of the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ford, GM, and Nissan Titan Underbed Gooseneck kit part # BWGNXA2061 is 30,000 lbs but you are limited to the amount of weight the 2020 Ford F-350 can tow and also by the amount of weight the gooseneck coupler can handle. The towing capacity of your vehicle is listed in the owner's manual so I do recommend to take a look at that.

You simply need the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit, # BWGNXA2061 for your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. This fits the center hole for the gooseneck ball and the safety chain loops fit into the pucks to the sides. view full answer...
Yes the B and W OEM gooseneck ball part # BWGNXA2061 will fit better than the OEM ball you have now. We've found that this ball is the easiest to use and most reliable option. The Curt sometimes has issues where it freezes up too which the B and W does not so that's another reason we recommend it. view full answer...
I have seen this with all of the Goose Neck Ball Kits like the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit part # BWGNXA2061 when the are left permanently installed and subjected to the elements. Not only is it common with these but also all of the goose neck or fifth wheels that fit into a prep or goose neck package.
I have had a lot of success getting them out by shocking the ball with a hammer (large sledge) it doesn't always work the first hit and doesn't always work on the sixty-seventh hit but... view full answer...
You should be able to spray some WD40 or brake fluid down the exposed pin, let it sit for 10 minutes then using some vice grips you should be able to pull up on the pin to release it.
If this doesn't work I would give it some suggestive "taps" with a 5 pound hammer. Making sure to be very liberal with the brake fluid.
Last resort you can heat it up with a blow torch, this will cause the metal to expand and potentially break loose anything binding up inside. Let it cool down then restart... view full answer...

I really like the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061 for the OEM puck systems like what you have on your 2022 GMC Sierra 2500. The other gooseneck hitch balls work too but they have the latch integrated into the top of the hitch ball and sometimes the coupler can damage the latch. Since the latch is external on this hitch ball you never have to worry about that plus it doubles as an easy way to carry the hitch ball. view full answer...
