Gooseneck Hitch Recommendation 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 Short Bed
Question:
i need a underbed flip over ball gooseneck hitch for my 2003 2500 dodge shortbed. I want the easiest to install and no cutting if possible. i prefer 30,00 lb. rating but a little less will be ok. I want the best price possible and all necessary components needed. I also want to price and obtain part number for a wat to pull a 5th wheel at some later point? which 2 or 3 options do you have? thanks,

Expert Reply:
The B and W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch part # BWGNRK1313 is the best option we have for your 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 as it requires no drilling to install, is easy to use and very reliable, the ball flips over, and has a 30k capacity. It also easily converts to a fifth wheel hitch with the Companion part # BWRVK3400 as well.
For a somewhat similar option the Curt part # C607-661 that you referenced would work as well but the passenger side wheel well does need to get notched.
