Question:

I want to add a goosneck hitch to my 2019 Ram 3500. I like B&W products but is there a less expensive option? Would it include everything needed to install? The B&W BWGNRK1320 I checked out doesn't look like it includes the install brackets or rails.

Expert Reply:

The 2019 Ram 3500 has a factory installed crossmember mounted under the bed that acts as the install rails for a gooseneck hitch. All you'd need to do is to use the existing hole in the crossmember as a template for the hole that allows the goosneck ball to pass through to the bed, drill the holes for the safety chain loops and the hitch bolts right up for a pretty simple installation.

Curt offers a less-expensive option as part # C60633 that would work just fine for you.

The B&W # BWGNRK1320 is indeed more expensive, but it's manufactured in the US.

If you need a 7-way trailer connector installed in the truck bed, you can do so using part # 50-97-410.

I've linked to some installation and product description videos you might find helpful.
