Hi Eric; the Hitch Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch - 3" # BWGNXA2025 will increase the capacity of the # BW73FR. With the 3" ball installed you will match the 40,000 lb gooseneck towing capacity of your 2024 Ford F-450.

Hey Eric, how did things go after switching to the 3-inch ball on your B&W Turnoverball hitch? It’d be great to hear if the increased capacity worked out as expected. Your update could make it easier for others looking to match their F-450’s towing limits.
