  • Recommended Gooseneck Ball for Ram Factory Gooseneck Hitch
  • I have a solution for you, but the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ford, GM, and Nissan Titan Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNXA2061 is not a fit for the Ram factory gooseneck hitch.

There is also the Curt Ball and Safety Chain Loop Kit for Ram Underbed Gooseneck Hitch - 38K # C58CR which is rated for up to 38,000-lbs,...

  • Installing a 5th Wheel Hitch in a 2004 Ford F-250 With a B and W Gooseneck Hitch
  • I have a few solutions for you, however, a gooseneck hitch and a fifth wheel hitch will not typically fit together on a truck. The frame brackets of the gooseneck hitch or fifth wheel hitch will interfere with the frame brackets from the other hitch. This would be the case on your truck if you tried to install the Reese Universal Fifth Wheel Install Kit, # RP30035, that you referenced. The frame brackets for your B and W gooseneck hitch will prevent the frame brackets from fifth wheel base...

  • Solution For Offset Gooseneck Ball Needed for Use with Ford OEM Gooseneck Hitch
  • I may have a solution for you to use your factory gooseneck setup, but there is not an offset gooseneck ball like the Curt 4" Offset Ball for Double-Lock Gooseneck Hitch # C602 designed to fit on the factory Ford prep package. With that said, you can eliminate the Andersen Ultimate # AM3200 and use the Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter w / 8" Offset for Short-Bed Trucks # AM3139; this adapter connects directly to your 5th wheel kingpin and allows you to couple...

  • Gooseneck Trailer Hitch That Can Also Accept A 5th Wheel Hitch For A 2022 Ford F-350
  • For your 2022 Ford F-350, I recommend going with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit # BWGNRK1116. This kit is an under-bed gooseneck hitch kit that will allow you to remove the 2-5/16" hitch ball, and use a 5th wheel hitch like the B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BWRVK3500.

  • How to Use Standard 5th Wheel Hitch With B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck
  • There is a way for you to use your standard Husky 5th wheel hitch with your B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Hitch, though you wouldn't be able to add 5th wheel rails. That's because the brackets that allow you to mount 5th wheel rails mount in the same spot on your truck as the gooseneck hitch, so there isn't a way to mount both gooseneck rails and 5th wheel rails. It would be like trying to wear tennis shoes and work boots at the same time, for example - there just isn't enough room...

  • The best offset option available for your Toyota Tundra and your gooseneck trailer is the Draw-Tite Gooseneck Hitch Ball with 5 Inch Offset, # 19308, that you referenced. Gooseneck hitches were not designed to provide additional offset for gooseneck trailers and short bed trucks, but this offset ball will improve your turning clearance by approximately 10 degrees.

  • How to Create Separation from Truck Bed Tool Box and Gooseneck Hitch Ball

You might be able to get your gooseneck trailer connection away from the toolboxes using something like the 4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches # BWGNXA4085. If you've got a different brand of gooseneck hitch, let me know and I can see if there is somethingt hat would work. I've also gone ahead and linked...

  • Needing to Pull a Gooseneck Trailer with a 5th Wheel Hitch
  • I have a solution for you, however, the B&W Turnoverball King Pin Adapter, # BWGNXA4000, is designed to drop into a B&W Underbed Gooseneck Hitch, like # BWGNRK1197, and tow an inverted 5th wheel hitch. In your case, if you are towing a gooseneck trailer with a 5th wheel hitch, your best option would be to use a Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Coupler, like # BD0289640300. Replacing the inner tube on the gooseneck with this adapter will allow you to connect the trailer to a 5th wheel hitch....

  • Gooseneck Extension for 2005 Dodge Ram Truck with 6 ft Bed
  • You can measure from the center of your existing gooseneck ball to the back of the cab on the Dodge and then measure the width of the trailer loft and divide that by two. If the measurement from the center of the hitch ball to the cab is 4 inches greater than one half the width of the trailer you should have room for clearance. If not you will need to purchase an offset gooseneck ball that is long enough to provide the 4 inches clearance needed to accommodate pitch and roll of the trailer...
