B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch

B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch

Not only does this kit provide you with a sturdy, custom base for installing your Companion fifth-wheel trailer hitch in the bed of your truck, but it also doubles as one of the most recognizable gooseneck hitches on the market. This fifth wheel installation kit actually is the Turnoverball gooseneck hitch from B&W.


Gooseneck Specs:

  • Gross towing weight: 30,000 lbs
  • Vertical load limit: 7,500 lbs
  • Ball size: 2-5/16"

B&W Companion Installed in Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch

With the B&W Turnoverball underbed gooseneck trailer hitch you get the best of both worlds. When you go to tow a gooseneck trailer, the Turnoverball creates a sturdy, dependable connection with your trailer. And when you're done towing, you can stow the ball upside down in the hitch to get full bed access and a clean appearance. When you're ready to tow your fifth wheel trailer, just install the Companion in the ball hole in place of the gooseneck ball and lock the post in place using the built-in handle. You can remove the fifth wheel when you're done towing, leaving your truck bed open once again.


Simple, Custom Installation

This kit is custom designed for your vehicle. The mounting brackets bolt to existing holes in your truck's frame. While some modification is required - you will need to cut a 4" diameter hole in your bed for the hitch ball and drill holes for the built-in safety chain loops - there is no need to weld onto or to drill into your frame.


Once you have the brackets and center section installed, set up the operating handle. This handle is designed to be accessed from the rear driver's-side wheel well. On the end of the handle is the heavy-duty steel pin that secures the mounting post of the Companion (or the base of the gooseneck hitch ball).

  • Parts Needed to Install Curt E16 Fifth Wheel Hitch in Bed of 2018 Nissan Titan XD
    To use a Curt e16 fifth wheel hitch part # C16115 in the bed of a 2018 Nissan Titan XD SV short bed the first thing you'd need is the B and W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch # BWGNRK1217-5W and then to convert it to a standard set of fifth wheel rails you'd need the # 16310 which is what the E16 requires. Since this is only rail system we have that fits your truck there isn't a way to go without using the adapter. So instead you might consider using the Turnoverball rail kit I mentioned and...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2016 Nissan Titan XD
    If your 2016 Nissan Titan XD is equipped with the factory integrated gooseneck I recommend the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550034 along with the Rail Adapter # DM6200. This is an excellent hitch that will slide automatically as you drive to give you an additional 14 inches of clearance for making tight turns with your short bed Titan. It features a wraparound single-piece jaw for a secure connection with the trailer and it has an 18,000 pound towing capacity which...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2016 Nissan Titan XD to Tow 2018 Forest River Sabre 5th Wheel
    The Forest River Sabre series of 5th wheel trailers ranges in unloaded weight from about 8600-lbs to about 12,500-lbs so I recommend at least an 18K-rated hitch so that once your trailer is fully loaded you will still have a good safety margin with your 2016 Nissan Titan XD. Since your 2016 Nissan Titan XD truck is a short bed, you will need a sliding type 5th wheel hitch to ensure enough turning clearance when you're making tight near-90-degree turns. If you have the factory integrated...

  • Best Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2016 Nissan Titan XD Towing Forest River Sabre Fifth Wheel
    The best fifth wheel hitch for your 2016 Nissan Titan XD will depend on if your truck has the OEM integrated gooseneck or not.

It features dual jaws which are a full 1" thick to provide a secure connection and polyurethane bushings for optimal ride quality. The Companion will require the use of Installation...

  • Best Underbed Mounting Kit for a 5th Wheel Hitch on a 2018 Nissan Titan XD

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2018 Nissan Titan XD
    We have a fifth wheel rail kit solution that works for your 2018 Nissan Titan XD but it's not the Curt kit you mentioned. You'd have to go with the B and W Turnoverball kit part # BWGNRK1217-5W which actually doubles as a gooseneck hitch. Then for a hitch you'd want the part # BWRVK3400 for if you have a short bed truck and need a slider hitch or the part # BWRVK3500 for if you have a long bed truck and do not need the slider.

    The Andersen Ultimate Connection, part # AM3200 connects to the 2016 Nissan Titan XD with industry standard fifth wheel rails.
