2016 Dodge Ram Pickup
I recently purchased a 2016 Ram 3500 with 5th wheel tow package already present on truck. I wanted an additional goose neck product and looked at various suppliers online and found etrailer products offered for sale. After to speaking with Heather who answered all my questions as well as reviewed feedback from customers I chose to go with the Reese gooseneck kit. I received the product within the shipping date provided to me and I went out to install it. It took me all of 3 mins to install with no issues. I did my best to remove, shake and couldn't get them to budge. It took me a total of 5 mins to remove the parts and storing them back under the rear seat. The parts fit perfect, look great as well as we're the cheapest price I could find. Their online video is all the install instructions you need! I will definitely use etrailer in the future. Thanks Heather!

Product took less than a minute to install on my 2015 Ram 3500. Would highly recommend this product for those who have the factory 5th wheel and gooseneck prep package from Ram in their truck.
by: Bill F.04/02/2019
I would strongly suggest you purchase something else. Like many others have posted about in reviews all over the internet, this design is indeed very poor. The ball works fine and I have no complaints there. The safety chain pucks however are another story. The top loop of the puck is too wide, The safety chain hook won't fit all the way into the puck loop and allow the hook keeper to close. I have 3 big name gooseneck trailers and a 5th wheel camper with a gooseneck conversion. None of the chains out of 4 trailers fit these. I even went to a local supplier to see if i could purchase new hook ends to make them work. No luck, nothing would work due to the dimension not working out one way or the other. I had to turn around and spend a significant amount of money and buy the Curt pucks. Surely by now Reese has received hundreds upon hundreds of complaints about this. Unbelievable that Reese did not update the design even before I purchased this a year ago.

Excellent customer service. They were out of the item I originally ordered. Sales contacted me immediately and showed me other similar products. I was able to purchase an even better product than I originally ordered. I’ll use etrailer.com for my future trailer needs.

2014 Dodge Ram Pickup
The Reese Elite Series Pop-In Ball Kit was perfect fit for my 2014 RAM 3500 with the factory installed gooseneck prep kit. Once it arrived, my wife and I had no problem installing and removing any of the components from the kit. Being able to put all parts in the handy carrying bag is a bonus to. As for etrailer.com, delivery was faster than expected and much appreciated. The video and reviews on the website for this product (not to mention the price) were the main reasons why I purchased this product and purchased it from etrailer.com.
If I had one con, it would be that ball hitch needs a sleeve to protect it from being dinged or scratched in the carrying bag, but no big deal.
Thanks etrailer.com!
by: Troverman03/04/2020
After a year, this product performs just fine. The only letdown is the same one that presented itself when new...the chain loops don't accommodate the safety chains found on most gooseneck trailers. If you use a couple of shackles like I did, the problem is solved. Just make sure to use shackles rated to carry the weight and load of your entire trailer.

We use these on our hot shot trucks. High quality product. We have zero complaints.

I bought this product for my 3500 Ram (with puck System) and my Andersen
Ultimate fifth wheel hitch. The components install in seconds and removal is just as easy. I would highly recommend this system.

2016 Dodge Ram Pickup
When the package arrived, I set to opening it, (very well packed). Everything that I ordered was there. Got the Gooseneck adapter figured out and got the kingpin collar installed. After I moved the truck so that I could place the adapter under the fifth wheel assembly the set up was very simple. Setting up the ball and the adapter took me about 1.5 hours to complete. Very good equipment. Would recommend to anyone that wanted to have the versatility in towing options. Sorry, no photos. The reason I went this way was due to the cost of a fifth wheel hitch for the 2016 Ram 3500/ with the pucks per-set in the bed and on the frame this worked out to be a little less expensive to do.

I bought the Reese gooseneck ball for my 2015 Ram with factory hitch prep and etrailer shipped it fast, with free shipping. Next I am ordering the 5th wheel hitch, front hitch for bikes and maybe kayak rack. they are lowest priced dealer I can find and fast delivery.

2013 Dodge Ram
I bought the Reese Elite pop-in ball for my 2013 Ram3500 and put it to use with a heavy load. It fits perfect and is easy and fast to install or remove. I am very happy with it and can't understand why anyone would want a different system. The safety chain hook-ups are good also, but require a large hook as a smaller hook won't work. I will recommend this product to anyone.
by: Brandon01/07/2019
Stong and heavy duty built to last. Everything came individually wrapped and in excellent condition. Course i did notice the standard problem with the handles too wide to handle any type of safty chain. Will be getting strong weight/shock load class D rings to attach the safty chains too. within these. The storage case comes in handy and fits snug with the 2.5 to 2 in factory reciver and a 7 in drop under the back passenger seat in the factory cubby. Would buy again if needed.
by: JR12/06/2014
Haven't got to use the gooseneck yet but dealing with George and Bill at etrailer was great. The kit was back ordered and they kept me up to date the best they could with the info they could get from reese. I'd definitely recommend them to everyone.

The product was exactly as described. It fit perfect with the pre installed bed kit for my pickup.

I called etrailer to inquire about a hitch for my Ram 3500. I was quickly connected with a customer rep and she had me set up with a hitch in just a few minutes. The hitch shipped the same day and I received it in two days! The quality of the hitch seems good. Easy to install and has a bag to store everything. So far very happy.
by: Matt02/15/2017
Good product only thing that is an issue is the chain hold downs are so thick you need to use a clevis to hook up but a very good heavy duty set up

Very knowledgeable information when selecting a Gooseneck ball. Easy to order and was delivered in a timely manor.

Nice Product, Geat delivery. The Safety chain pucks are to large for all of the hooks I could find, so I added 1/2" closed loop links and solved the issue.

Have used this product for about a year, and over 4500 miles. Haven’t had any issues with fitment or function. Grease the ball when you use it and you will get a long life out of it. This has been exclusively used in a 2017 Ram 2500.
by: Aaron09/16/2014
The product was backordered but I was notified right away by phone call and email. The reps from eTrailer kept in touch with updates and then notified me immediately of the shipment. Knowledgeable staff and great customer service.

- Where is the Reese Elite Series Pop-In Ball Kit for Ram Under-Bed Gooseneck Hitch MadeHey Elliot! The Reese Elite Series Pop-In Ball Kit # RP30140 is made overseas.
view full answer... - Need Gooseneck Ball and Safety Chain Hooks for 2013 Ram 3500 Dually Pickup with Under-bed HitchThe Reese part you reference, # RP30137, consists of a goose neck hitch ball and safety chain hooks. The ball would fit your 2013 Ram 3500 under-bed goose neck hitch. The safety chain hooks may not fit as they are intended specifically for applications in 2011 and newer Ford Super-Duty trucks with the OEM Power Puck system (and with Reese Elite series hitches). I spoke to my technical contact at Reese and they offer the Elite Series Pop-In Ball Kit # RP30140 that includes a pop-in ball...
view full answer... - Gooseneck Ball Recommendation to Fit 2014 Ram 3500 with Rail KitFor a gooseneck ball that is designed to fit the underbed rail kit of your 2014 Ram 3500 that also comes with safety chain loops you would want the Reese part # RP30140. If the flat bed has an access point for the gooseneck ball I don't see it being an issue at all.
view full answer... - Reese Elite Series Gooseneck Ball Kit for 2018 Ram 3500 with Factory PrepIt sounds like what you're looking for is the Reese Elite Series Pop-In Ball Kit # RP30140. This kit is made specifically for the factory prep kit installed in your 2018 Ram 3500 long-bed truck. This kit includes the correct hitch ball, safety chain loops, hole cover and a carry bag.
view full answer... - Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Plate that Fits Reese Adapter for 2014 Ram Factory Prep PackageThe Reese adapter # RP30154 for the 2014 Rams with the prep package has the 2 wider sets of mounting slots at 20-1/2 and 29 inches on center side to side but not the inner set at 10 inches apart. The Curt Spyder gooseneck plate # 16085 will fit in the 20-1/2 inch slots on the adapter. I have linked a video review of this hitch for you. The factory prep package on your 2014 Ram should have come with the hole for a gooseneck ball. If yours does have this, we have found that you can use...
view full answer... - Curt or Reese Gooseneck Hitch Kit Recommendation for 2016 Ram 3500For your 2016 Ram 3500 you would want the Curt gooseneck ball part # C60618 as it has the same capacities as the Reese at a much better price. I also like the safety chain loop release design better on the Curt setup as well.
view full answer... - Gooseneck Hitch Ball for a 2018 Dodge Ram 3500 with Factory Tow PackageThe Curt Ball and Safety Chain Loops Kit # C60618 as well as the Reese Elite Series Pop-In Ball Kit # RP30140 for the 2017 Dodge Ram 3500 are confirmed to work with the factory tow package on the 2018 Dodge Ram 3500 as well. These come with safety chain loops and a 2-5/16" hitch ball. They are both rated for 30,000 lbs so either one will be great for your application.
view full answer... - Gooseneck Ball and Safety Chain Loops for a 2017 Ram 2500 with Factory Prep PackageFor a 2017 Ram 2500 that has the factory gooseneck trailer hitch the only ball and safety chain loop options feature a removable ball but not one that can fit in the hole upside down. This is because of the design of the hitch itself. The two options are from Curt # C60618 and Reese # RP30140. The Curt option is more popular option due to the lower cost. Both come with covers to cover the ball hole when not in use. The Reese option includes a little storage bag to help protect the ball...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Gooseneck Ball Not Releasing From 2014 Ram 3500 With Factory Rail KitIf you have the Curt Ball and Safety Chain Loops Kit for Ram Underbed Gooseneck Hitch # C60618, the pin needs to be lifted and rotated only about 90 degrees to release the steel ball bearing pressure. The Reese Elite Series Pop-In Ball Kit for Ram Under-Bed Gooseneck Hitch # RP30140 has a wider tab that is slightly easier to rotate that same 90 degrees for removal. If the ball will not release when in proper position, I recommend spraying some penetrating oil like the UltraLube Biobased...
view full answer... - Gooseneck Hitch for 2014 Ram 2500 Long BedIf your Ram has the factory tow/ prep package, it'll have pucks in the truck bed as shown in the provided photo. If you have the prep package, you can use the Reese # RP30140 gooseneck ball. The # RP30137 kit you mentioned is for the Ford tow/prep package, and wouldn't work for your truck. If you don't have the tow/prep package, you can use the Draw-Tite # 9467. If you don't already have a 7-way trailer connector installed in your truck bed, you can install one using part # 41157.

- Safety Chain Clevis Hook that Can Fit Reese Elite Series Pop-In Ball KitYou're going to want a bigger size like the 1/2 inch # FCHA0070324 that I attached a picture attaching to the safety chain loops of the # RP30140. This would be your best option plus it has more capacity as well.

- Which Reese Goose Box Is Correct for a 2018 Highland Ridge Open Range 374BHSThe correct Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter for your 2018 Highland Ridge Open Range 374BHS is part # RP85FR which has a 20,000 lb weight capacity that is 2,000 lbs higher than what you have now. I was able to confirm with my contact at Lippert that this is an exact replacement for the pin box you have now. Please note that safety chains will most likely be required in your state while using the Reese Goose Box so I also recommend the Reese Safety Chain Kit...

- Will Curt Spyder Gooseneck Hitch Fit Reese Adapter for 2014 Ram with OEM 5th Wheel Prep PackageThe Curt Spyder gooseneck trailer hitch # 16085 will fit in the inner set of slots on the Reese adapter # RP30154 for the 2014 Ram with OEM prep package. But it will be much easier, less expensive, and you will not have to use an adapter in another adapter to just use the proper ball to fit the OEM prep package on your Ram. The ball is # RP19311. For a kit that includes the ball, safety chain loops, cap, and storage bag use # RP30140.
view full answer... - Replacement Gooseneck Ball for Mopar Ram Hitch Prep PackageThe Replacement Hitch Ball # BWGNXA2000 is designed to fit B and W Turnover hitches. Since you said you have factory equipment I am assuming you mean you have the Mopar hitch prep package and are in need of a gooseneck ball. If so, you would actually need the part # C60601, or part # RP30140 if you want the safety chain loops as well.
view full answer... - Comparison of Gooseneck Hitch Balls to Fit Ram Truck with Factory Goosneck PackageThe Curt # C60618, Reese # RP30140, and B&W # BWGNXA2062 hitch balls that fit the factory gooseneck hitch in your Ram are all great quality. There are a few differences though, mainly the way the ball is locked into place. The Curt has an integrated lever in the top of the ball that activates the ball bearings in the shank. The lever is made of steel and very easy to access and use. The Reese ball has a similar lever only you pull and turn it. It's also made of plastic intead of steel...

The hitch ball does not allow the Andersen Ultimate adapter to sit flush with the bed. Instead, you will want the Reese Pop-In Ball Kit # RP30137 if you have a Ford Super Duty or a Nissan Titan XD, part # RP30140 if you have a Ram truck, or Curt # C60692 if you have a GM truck.

I recommend the Curt kit, # C60618, which is the ball, safety chain tie downs, and a cover for the ball hole when the ball is not being used. (None of balls the fit the OEM system will hide in the ball cavity like the Turnover ball hitches from B&W.) You can also use the Reese kit # RP30140 which also includes the tie downs and cover but also includes a storage bag. I...

- Gooseneck Ball for a 2016 Ram 3500 with Factory Gooseneck Trailer HitchThe factory installed gooseneck trailer hitch that is in your 2016 Ram 3500 will take either Curt ball and safety chain loops # C60618 or the Reese version # RP30140. If you want just the ball then use # C60601. Please note that if the ball on your hitch is supposed to be held in with a rod, the handle for which will be in the driver's side wheel well, then it is not the factory gooseneck hitch. It could be a dealer installed hitch though. For those I would have to know the brand of the...

I've attached a picture of what they look like installed and if you have the locations for them you can't miss them. If you have the factory kit then # RP30140 is all you'll need.

The safety chain loops included with the Curt Ball and Safety Chain Loops Kit for Ram Underbed Gooseneck Hitch part # C60618, B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ram Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNXA2062, and Reese Elite Series Pop-In Ball Kit for Ram Under-Bed Gooseneck Hitch part # RP30140 will only...

This means that the safety chain loops that come with the Curt # C60618 and the Reese # RP30140 will only be compatible with the rear pucks as that is where Ram recommends anchoring the safety chains.

You do need to swap out the hitch ball though if it has a plastic latch. The Curt # C60601 can be used as a replacement since it has the metal latch on top. The adapter...
