Question:
The B and W looks like it has a pull lever to release the ball without crawling underneath the truck to pull a pin to release. Does CURT Gooseneck have a release lever for its ball? Thank you

For your 2016 Ram 2500 6 foot bed without factory rail kit, I recommend the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit - 30,000 lbs # BWGNRK1384 because of the ball release you mentioned as well as it's compatibility with the B&W Companion Slider # BWRVK3400 should you ever decide to use a 5th wheel trailer.
The Curt Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Ram 2500 - 30,000 lbs # C60614 has a different style release for the ball. It is integrated into the hitch ball and requires a pull of the pin and a twist to release. This is a nice option as well, but is definitely not as easy as pulling a lever which can even me done with gloves on.
