Video Transcript for B And W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch 4 Inch Offset Ball Review
What's up, everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com Today, we're gonna be checking out this B&W adapter. This is gonna make your ball four inches offset for the shorter bed here on this RAM Classic. Let's check it out. This is gonna be the standard gooseneck ball you get with your B&W hitch, so fits in there just fine. But on our RAM today we have a 5 1/2 foot bed, so we don't have a whole lot of room here. So if you go to hook up, it's gonna be really tight against the cab or problematic to try and hook up.
So that's why you get this adapter that puts it at an offset. So I'll put that in just like before. It goes down in place, you latch it. And now the ball has moved from here, where this one would've been, to four inches offset. Now you're gonna have more clearance from the cab and your rig when you're driving or taking turns.
On our website, you're gonna see two different versions of this. We've gotten a lot of questions on 'em, so I wanted to point out why one will work and the other won't. First thing you wanna do is go out to your hitch, your gooseneck hitch in the back of your truck. Measure from the bottom collar to the top edge, it's about 2 1/2 inches. So already you're gonna see that this one is longer, this is gonna be 4 1/2 inches.
So if we we're to go try and use this, it would stick out up past the gooseneck and not be able to latch in, so we won't be able to use it that way. That's why this one is the one specifically for this hitch on this truck, because it has a shorter shank, so you can drop it in there, and then it'll latches in place. It's gonna be made out of a sturdy steel construction. Also, it's gonna have a gross trailer weight rating of 20,000 pounds. This is gonna have a vertical tow weight rating of 5,000 pounds.
Overall, this is gonna be easy enough to install. It's gonna help you out, get that extra clearance in the back of your truck, so you're gonna hook up your rig and get on the road. Well, I think that does it. Thanks for hanging out, and hope this helped.

4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Dodge Ram 1500 - BWGNXA4685
Average Customer Rating: 4.8 out of 5 stars (267 Customer Reviews)
Designed for use with B&W's Turnoverball gooseneck hitch (BWGNRK1309) for your Dodge Ram 1500 or Ram 1500 truck, this ball extender moves the pivot point of your trailer 4" rearward to provide additional cab clearance.by: Michael06/13/2019
Just received this item only to find that IT DOESN'T FIT. The hole center on this item is 1 3/4" from bottom of plate and the pin on my B&W hitch is 2" below the top of the hitch (so it's off by 1/4"). I have a Dodge Ram 3500 dually and this is specifically for a Dodge. HOWEVER, apparently a different model # B&W hitch was installed by the previous owner on my particular truck. SO, I need to return this and get the one for a different model hitch (offset ball #BWGNXA4085). This means the offset ball will be sitting about 3/4" above the bed of the truck which doesn't thrill me, so I will probably put a support piece under that part even though I'm sure they will say I don't need it.
MEMO TO ETRAILER: You should mention prominently in your description that YOUR specific Dodge Ram may have a different hitch and to measure carefully before ordering.

I bought this to extend the ball close to the axle on my 13 Ram mega cab. I have the B&W hitch installed. It is built really well. Only problem I had was that the shank on the extender do sent fit far enough down in receiver for the pin to latch and had to return it. Just writing the review incase someone else has had this problem.
by: Diane01/14/2022
Although I haven’t had the gooseneck hitch or the extender installed on my truck yet, I just want to respond to the customer service I received. I spoke with two different ladies over two days and they help me figure out which hitch I needed for my truck and were extremely helpful. I was told I would receive the hitch in about a week but it showed up two days later. I’m very happy with the company and would definitely use them again
by: Steven10/23/2018
Pulled a Featherlite 4 horse slant load trailer with a sleeping berth 3 times to Arizona from Illinois this year with a 6' 4" box and had no problem with turning radius because of this ball. Works well!
by: Cindy 02/25/2021
Excellent service and very knowledgeable about their products. Quick delivery. Product is VERY heavy duty weighing nearly 20 pounds. Trailer is in the shop but will add to the review once I have a chance to hook up trailer and see if this adds the clearance between the nose of the trailer and cab of the truck that I need because of having a short bed.
by: Rick P07/12/2019
Simple to install, solid attachment with zero rattle. Love it! Bought a different anti rattle with a lock built into it, fairly expensive, don't like it at all.

See what our Experts say about this B and W Trailer Hitch Ball
- Which B&W 4 Inch Offset Will Be Needed on a 2012 Ford F-350 B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch For the 2012 Ford F-350 Super Duty the B&W Underbed Gooseneck Hitch, # BWGNRK1111, the B&W 4 Inch Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches, # BWGNXA4085, will be the offset that you would need for your application. The other offset that we sell, # BWGNXA4685, is specifically used on a specific gooseneck hitch that only fits in Dodge Ram trucks. This offset will not be compatible for the gooseneck hitch that fits your Ford F-350.
view full answer... - Difference Between the Three Different B and W Offset Gooseneck Ball AdaptersThe three B and W Offset Gooseneck Balls are designed for three different applications. The part # BWGNXA4085 is the one that fits nearly all of the Turnoverballs whereas the part # BWGNXA4685 fits the # BWGNRK1309 (newer Ram trucks) and the part # BWGNXA4585 fits the # BWGNRK1257 (newer Toyota trucks).
view full answer... - Gooseneck Hitch Recommendation for a 2015 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel 5-1/2 foot BedThe B and W Turnover Ball hitch part # BWGNRK1309 is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Ram 1500 with an EcoDiesel engine. Since your truck has a such a short bed you are going to want to use the offset adapter part # BWGNXA4685 as well. Hopefully the nose of your trailer is very narrow as well since you won't have a whole lot of room for clearance.
view full answer... - B&W Turnover Ball Gooseneck Hitch Fit for 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 5-1/2 bedFor the 2011 Ram 1500 5-1/2 foot bed, you'd use the B&W # BWGNRK1309 Turnover Ball gooseneck hitch. Because of the short bed, you'll either need an offset coupler # BWTEXA4200 on the trailer to gain 10 inches of additional clearance or an offset ball like # BWGNXA4685 for 4 inches of clearance. If you'd like to install a trailer connector in the truck bed, you can do so using part # C56000.
view full answer... - Recommended B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch For 2015 Ram 1500 W/ 5-1/2' BedThe correct B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck hitch for your 2015 Ram 1500 Crew Cab with the 5-1/2' bed and no air suspension is the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit - 30,000 lbs # BWGNRK1309. Since your truck has the 5-1/2' bed you may also be interested in the 4" offset ball # BWGNXA4685 to get a little more cab to trailer clearance. In addition I recommend the 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Plug # 50-97-410 for the bed of...

What that means is the ball isn't going to turn when you are driving, keeping the connection to your gooseneck...
view full answer... - B&W Offset Goose Ball for a Ram 3500The only way to use an offset ball like the 4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball System item # BWGNXA4685 is to replace the center section of your 2021 Ram 3500's OEM prep package with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit item # BWGNRK1320. There is not an offset ball that fits the factory prep systems.
view full answer... - Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2011 Ram 3500 Short Bed Crew Cab with B&W Gooseneck InstalledThe B&W 4 inch offset ball # BWGNXA4085 or # BWGNXA4685 depending on your gooseneck hitch model will give you additional clearance when using a gooseneck trailer. When converting the gooseneck ball to a 5th wheel hitch, you cannot use the B&W 4 inch offset because you would be using an adapter to secure another moving adapter and it will simply allow too much movement for your application. For a better option for security, I recommend using either the stationary # BWRVK3500 or the slider...

The only available underbed gooseneck hitch with a custom installation kit for your 2012 Ram 1500 Laramie is the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit # BWGNRK1309. The B&W Turnoverball will allow you full bed access...
view full answer... - Best Gooseneck Hitch Recommendation for a 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 Short BedFor a gooseneck hitch for your 2015 Silverado 2500 by Chevrolet that has a short bed that also offers an offset gooseneck ball you would want the Hide-A-Goose Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Installation Kit # 9465-56. And then for a 5 inch offset gooseneck ball you would want the #19308.
view full answer... - Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for a 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 Crew Cab ST Tradesman EditionThe brackets that you have referenced, # RP58186, are only part of a 5th wheel hitch installation kit. If you have a gooseneck trailer, you are going to need a gooseneck trailer hitch, not a 5th wheel hitch. For a 5-1/2 foot bed the only option is # BWGNRK1309. The installation kit is included. An offset ball, # BWGNXA4685, is recommended to provide 4 more inches of clearance. A Sidewinder is for a 5th wheel trailer, not a gooseneck trailer. It replaces the pin box on a 5th wheel trailer...
view full answer... - Recommended Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch For 2004 Chevy 2500 With B&W Underbed Gooseneck HitchFor a 5th Wheel, you don't need the 4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNXA4685 to tow a 5th wheel. It is recommended to give you greater clearance with a gooseneck trailer on your 6-1/2 foot bed truck. For a 5th wheel, it is recommended to use a sliding 5th wheel hitch. The hitch made for your system is the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs # BWRVK3400-5W. This will give you the clearance you need to make turns giving...

The Rambox feature is not ideal for towing due to the reduced clearances in the bed but some have done it successfully. Short bed truck also make 5th wheel and gooseneck towing tougher. For a gooseneck, so long as you do not have the factory air suspension package you can use the excellent B&W kit # BWGNRK1309. You will probably want their offset extension ball for...

The other one you mentioned, # BWGNXA4685, was designed for the B&W gooseneck hitch # BWGNRK1309 which is for the Ram 1500 so it is not compatible with the 2500 or 3500 Rams. So in other words you will need # BWGNXA4085.

The hitch has a 30,000 lb capacity. That said, the truck will be rated lower so that's what you'll go by. The towing capacity of said truck will be different based on options so you'll need to look in the owner's manual to find an exact value. Please note, for 5-1/2' bed you also need to use one of the following; Offset Hitch Ball part # BWGNXA4685 or Offset Coupler part # BWTEXA4200...

The B&W Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1110 that you referenced will not fit your Ram. The B&W hitch is considered by most to be the best gooseneck hitch on the market. It has a turnover ball design that allows you to store the hitch ball upside down and it has a 30,000 lb towing capacity. It will also allow for a drop in 5th wheel hitch to be used such as...

That said, you can use this with your Anderson Ultimate 5th Wheel to Gooseneck but since the hitch ball will add height you will need to make adjustments to your coupler accordingly.

Since your 2018 Ram 1500 has a 6-1/2' bed you'll be really pushing 5th wheel trailer to truck cab clearance so you would need to use the sliding Companion but unfortunately that can't be used with this latching...
