Expert Answers about Ford Trailer Hitch Ball


  • Recommended Offset Gooseneck Ball for a Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch
  • Unfortunately no, Tom. The 5" Offset Ball for Hide-A-Goose Gooseneck Trailer Hitches # 19308 only works with Bulldog, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, and Reese Hide-A-Goose gooseneck trailer hitches. For your Curt Double-Lock, you'll want to use the Curt 4" Offset Ball for Double-Lock Gooseneck Hitch # C602. You'll notice this one has a 4" offset, but that's because they don't offer a 5" offset version, so this is the best we can do.

  • Is The Demco Recon 5th Wheel Hitch Compatible With B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitches
  • Hey Rob, Yes, the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # DM8550045 would be able to mount to the gooseneck ball in your B&W Turnoverball hitch. You'll just need to remove the coupler pin and drop the base of the hitch down on the hitch ball and then you can replace the pin. You will also need to tighten the bolts of the front of the hitch to fully secure it to the hitch ball and prevent rattling.

  • What 5TH Wheel Hitch Will Attach To OEM Gooseneck Hitch in 2008 Ford F-350 Long Bed?
  • The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3305 you found is only going to fit on 2011 and newer Ford Super Duty trucks which came with the OEM prep kit. It looks like your 2008 F-350 likely had a flip down style ball which the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550045 would fit. This hitch clamps onto the hitch ball and will allow you to connect to a 5th wheel trailer. A standard 10" Lube Plate # 16721 will work for this application.

  • Is there an Anti-Rattle For The Hitch Ball Mount On Stealth Hitches Receiver For Trailer Towing?
  • The Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # 391SUOB20T should have a snug fit as the stainless steel block the hitch is inserted into was designed to not deteriorate over time. Be sure to look at the Ball Mount # 391BMU3S as if all the paint over the part has come off this would create a slight gap and cause some of the noise. You could recoat it to remove some of the play. Also be sure to check the bolts holding the block to the receiver as this would likely be a...

  • Will The Trailer Valet 2-5/16" Hitch Ball Fit On a Power Caster PC-2 Dolly?
  • The 2-5/16" Hitch Ball w/ Base # TVBB25 is specifically designed for the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly # TVXL2. We have never tested it for fit on a Power Caster PC-2 dolly nor do I see any reviews showing anyone else has. It is unlikely the ball will fit without any modification as they are separate companies.

  • Will The Curt 1" Hitch-Rise Ball # C60603 Fit a Ford Factory Puck System?
  • The 1" High-Rise Ball # C60603 will only fit on Curt Double Lock, Flip and Store Gooseneck Trailer Hitches. Since you have the factory puck system you would want to look at a kit like the B&W # BWGNXA2061. This has the taller height than a Standard Ball # RP19311 and a feature I really like in the locking handle. This way you do not have to worry about grease in the other ball lock mechanism.

  • Hi Wayne, The TorkLift SuperTruss Hitch Extension for SuperHitch Trailer Hitch Receivers # TLE1536 is designed only to be used with TorkLift SuperHitch trailer hitch receivers and would not be a fit with the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers # 325-GH-623. You would need the TorkLift SuperHitch Original Trailer Hitch Receiver # TLF1002 on your 2015 F-350 in order to use the # TLE1536.

  • Will The Blue Ox Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Adapter BLU52XR Work With Overbed Folding Gooseneck Ball?
  • Hey Samuel, the Blue Ox Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BLU52XR is not compatible with the overbed style folding gooseneck balls. The overbed plate would prevent the base from making full contact with the bed of the truck. Blue Ox is very specific that the base must make full contact with the bed in order to use the adapter. An adapter that will be compatible with the overbed folding gooseneck ball is the Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter # AM3100....

  • Gooseneck Ball Option For A Nissan Titan XD
  • Hello Howard. I do see that you bought the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16530-16026 which is for the 2017-2019 Nissan Titan XD OEM prep package. You are needing a gooseneck for the same Titan XD correct? If so, I recommend the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061. This is made to fit directly into the Nissan Titan XD OEM prep package. I like the B&W brand for the gooseneck ball because the release mechanism is built into the handle. This makes in very easy to operate and...

  • Will Demco Recon for Recessed Gooseneck Ball Work with a 2018 Keystone Cougar 368MBI
  • Hey Colin, thanks for reaching out! The Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter for Recessed Ball # DM8550046 (which uses the 6316 base) will work just fine with your 2018 Keystone Cougar 368MBI as long as it doesn't have a rotating pin box. Please note the following when it comes to fitment on your flatbed truck: - Will not work with high-rise gooseneck balls. - The top of the gooseneck ball must be 13/16" or closer to the top of the truck bed for the hitch to install.

  • Can The Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Be Mounted To Move The Ball Closer To The Cab?
  • Hello Jason, that is a great question. I just spoke to my contact at Gen-Y and they informed me that yes, the Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # GY73XR can be mounted to move the ball closer to the cab. As long as your OEM puck system has all 5 holes, and the distance from the rear two holes to the center hole is the same as the distance from the front two holes to the center hole. Basically, they said as long as it fits into the pucks, you can use it whichever way you want.

  • Does B&W GM MultiPro Tailgate Ball Mount Come with Tab for Sway-Control Hitch Ball
  • The B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount - Compatible with GM MultiPro Tailgate # BW44FR, and other options like it, don't come with a tab for an anti-sway bar but we do have the Curt Weld-On Sway Control Tab # C45822 which you can use to modify the B&W ball mount to fit your towing application. B&W didn't add provisions like this so you'll want to make sure to think about how you'll use the ball mount prior to welding this tab on so you get it in the right place the first time. I recommend having...

  • What Class is the Stealth Hitch for a 2023 Kia Telluride?
  • The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack item # 391KIATELL20 you ordered doesn't have a class rating because it is not capable of towing. It is only for accessories that fit 2" receivers like bike racks and cargo carriers. This 2" receiver has a 600 lbs tongue weight which is comparable to class III hitches. If you want to tow with this hitch you'll need to add the Towing Kit w/ Ball Mount and Trailer Wiring for Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver - 2" Ball item # SH53GR.

  • Does Fresh Water Tank Need to be Full When Adjusting Equal-i-zer 16k Weight Distribution Hitch
  • Hey Tony, thanks for writing in, and that's a really smart question. The answer is yes, the fresh water tank should be full when adjusting the 16,000 lb Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ90-00-1600. What you want to do is have the trailer loaded up just like it would be when travelling to ensure you get the proper adjustment and full benefits of the hitch. As an aside, if you don't already have a hitch ball for the # EQ90-00-1600, the right one is the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball for...

  • Switching From Regular Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Adapter to Recessed Ball Adapter
  • The base on the # DM8550045 is completely different from the # DM8550046 so you can't simply add on the adapter for the recessed ball. However, you can swap out the base with # DM6316 and use your existing head which will save money over replacing the entire thing.
