Install a Companion fifth-wheel hitch in your truck bed with this custom kit. Better than a traditional mounting kit, this setup doubles as a gooseneck hitch when the fifth wheel is removed, and the underbed design allows for full bed access.
Features:
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:
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 3-1/2" 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).

Install a Companion fifth-wheel hitch in your truck bed with this custom kit. Better than a traditional mounting kit, this setup doubles as a gooseneck hitch when the fifth wheel is removed, and the underbed design allows for full bed access.Great design and sturdy! I just is on a 2021 ram 2500 6.4 8' bed installing when great, nothing a single person can't handle. I would recommend to anyone.
Outstanding product! Purchased for a 2020 Dodge Ram 2500 w/6.4L Hemi. It took my wife & I about 8 hours to install & everything went together nicely. ~2 hour delay because I wasn’t paying attention & installed the base backwards & had to build a gantry to lift it out. I definitely recommend greasing the round hitch receiver in the bed floor & the square hitch in the base before installing to make removal easier. I recommend the product & looking forward to years of goose neck & 5th wheel hitch use.
Installed in my 2022 Ram 3500 dually. Install was easy due to the step by step instructions. It was nice that it was made here in USA. I didn’t have to undo the exhaust hangers. The hardest part was torquing the under bed bolts. A crows foot is the way to go. This hitch system seems great. I haven’t had it long, but this thing is rugged. My friend who has a fifth wheel with rails in his bed is thinking of getting one now. It is clean and the bed is still very usable.
All is great except the release handle mechanism. Keeps getting stuck when attempting to lock the pin into the shaft opening. All the adjustments possible equals no help. Other than that installation was smooth even though it is almost impossible to get a torque wrench on the side bolts.
As expected B&W built a solid hitch, and for my 19 Ram 2500 they engineered the hitch to mount utilizing existing holes in the frame crossmember. Taking my time this install took me 1/2 a day and between the written instructions and an install video on etrailer it was straightforward.
My truck didn’t come with a puck system. This works great for a gooseneck or my 5th wheel hitch. Installed by myself, that was fun! Done it in my driveway. Having a lift and extra hands would be ideal.
Installation straightforward and easy. Had to remove rear seat. It would be helpful if this was included in instructions.
The B&W Turnover Ball Gooseneck Hitch is an awesome product. I installed on my 2020 Ram 2500 Cummins Turbo Diesel. From the time of delivery, I could see the pride etrailer.com put into shipping. The quality and fabrication of the product are superb. The directions and videos made this a very easy install; so much so I made it a father-daughter project. All bolt holes lined up perfectly without the need for corrective modifications. The issue I ran into was not having crowfeet wrenches to get into the tight spots, but once purchased, I had no further issues. Great product from an industry leader and a please doing business with etrailer.com.
