Congrats on the new truck Jessica and welcome back. To add a gooseneck hitch to your new 2027 Ram 3500, I recommend the B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch item # BWGNRK1320. This gooseneck hitch is custom fit and includes all hardware necessary to complete installation on your truck. It has a massive 30,000 lbs capacity and is compatible with both the 6-1/2' and 8' bed lengths.

The B&W Turnoverball item # BWGNRK1320 allows you to store the 2-5/16" hitch ball upside down and inside your bed when you are not using it. This gives you full access to your bed when you're not towing. The locking handle is easily accessible inside your driver's side rear wheel well.

If your Ram has the shorter 6-1/2' bed, you'll also want to pick up the 4" Offset Ball item # BWGNXA4085. This 2-5/16" gooseneck ball is designed specifically for the B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch item # BWGNRK1320. It will push the connection point back 4" towards your tailgate to provide you with some extra turning clearance.

To make towing with a gooseneck trailer easier, I also recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness item # C56070. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed of your Ram and allows you to keep the one on your bumper. This makes hooking up to your gooseneck trailer easier and more convenient.

What kind of trailer are you pulling and how long is your Ram's bed? Feel free to answer this and throw in any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.

Thanks. I'm pulling a horse trailer to shows. I did end up getting one with a shorter bed. Does the Offset Hitch Ball reduce the capacity since it extends out? I doubt I ever tow anything over 20,000 lbs.

@Jessica You're welcome. You are correct. The 4" Offset Ball item # BWGNXA4085 does reduce the capacity down to 20,000 lbs. So you will want to be mindful of that if you ever tow something heavier than your horse trailer.

@Jessica I installed B&W turnover hitch in my 2006 2500 ram and my 2024 2500 ram both with short beds. I’ve never installed gooseneck hitch until now. Easy instal followed instructions with no problem at all. With a short bed pulling a horse trailer I would think maybe you need the 4” setback ball if you have sleeping quarters or storage over the bed. Hope this helps good luck.
