Specs:
The Hide-A-Goose gooseneck trailer hitch works to meet your heavy-duty towing needs while still allowing you to get full use out of your truck bed. It installs to existing, factory attachment points beneath your vehicle to create a low-profile look.
To remove the ball from this hitch, just lift and turn the lever that is built into the top of the ball. This will disengage the ball bearings in the shank so that you can easily lift the ball out of the hole.
Once you've removed the ball, use the magnetic cover to conceal the ball hole. This cover prevents dirt and debris from getting into the ball hole. This will prevent buildup that could cause the ball to seize up in the hitch.

Great product and it gets used regularly. The quick release is very convenient. My only complaint is that there are no options for an extended gooseneck ball. Similar to the Draw Tite 5" extension. This hitch will not allow you to install a conventional pin to use the draw tite extension as there is a thick piece of metal in the way. The quick release on the ball is the only option.
Good hitch easy install just had to loosen the bed bolts to fish the nut plates above the frame other than that pretty straight forward
I haven’t pulled with it yet, but installation went well and it it a strong and well made item.
Went in relatively easy, relative because I did this by myself (at 72) without removing anything except a small bracket above the pumpkin. Just used a piece of all-thread (for the length) down through the bed and the hitch to hold it up to attach the bolts. Everything fit perfectly and it is easier with two people and removing half of the truck but I've always hated taking things loose if I don't have to, and besides, it was a challenge.
Sprayed any bare metal with Trim (flat black) spray that matches the sprayed in bed liner perfectly.
Biggest pain was having to buy both the hole saw and drill bit despite having an extensive (but obviously not complete) collection of both types.
This is my first gooseneck that didn't have the turnover ball type, but it looks to be superior since you have to climb in the bed anyway to flip the ball and I've had problems with the ball freezing in place after having not been used in a while.
Product is a great fit for my 2016 Ram 2500. The installation videos are dead on which allowed me to install the hitch myself. DIY savings was approx. $125.
Tip: In addition to bending the wire on the nut plates, use plastic zip ties to secure the wires. This will absolutely prevent any rattling noise.
Very easy install. Bought this so I could utilize the Anderson 5th wheel adapter. No complaints here!
Thanks etrailer...
Fit and finish was good, Easy to install. After on year of use I have no issues. I live in the north east, so I added additional undercoating to protect the hitch from the roads salt.
Nice, simple hitch for the new ram 2500 coil spring suspension, very easy to install
Installation video and instructions are very helpful. Took me about 1.5 hrs to install in driveway. The free shipping was nice and fast (got here to TX in 2 days). Two quick tips would be have a plan to hold the main plate up as it is heavy (I used a jack stand on top of the pumpkin) and if you have a local DYI shop with a lift then that would be helpful rather than sitting under the truck.
2018 ram 2500 Simple instructions. follow the video and you cant do wrong.
It was shipped very fast! I had the hitch purchased, shipped, and installed Within a few days
Easy install, durable product after a year of light use.
Easy to install very happy with the over all quality of this product.
Bought this product online the 28th received the 29th had it installed two hours after receiving it. Can’t beat that.
This is my first gooseneck hitch and so far no issues. The install took both myself and my friend about 5 hours on my 2018 F250. You definitely need a second set of hands and it's preferred if one of you did weightlifting cause the hitch plate is HEAVY!! Just make sure when reading the instructions you really look where they notated where the front of the vehicle is cause it can get a little confusing.
One tip that helped us out a lot and saved our arms is before putting in the hitch plate drill the hole for the ball opening, use a jack in the bed with a ratchet strap or some kind of strong strap, put the strap through the hole of theb bed and through the hole of the hitch plate then put a metal bar or something strong that will support the hitch plate. Then take the strap and put it on the jack and jack it up. This will pull the hitch plate up to the bottom of the truck bed and allow you to bolt it in and save your arms from becoming putty.
Easy install once you get past the kinda confusing drawings. The safety hooks are pretty short, I just have the nuts flush with threads but can't get the hooks under them. I will have to look for longer ones. Took 3 hrs to install with having to remove hard tonneau cover and bed liner and reinstalling and clean up. Thought it would be worse!! The isolation tape they send with the hitch is kind of cheesy, hopefully it works. Was a great price!
I couldn't have picked a better hitch for the price! I took it to a local business (Carolina welders, Laurinburg NC) and it took him only an hour to install and it installed perfectly! In two days I had my horse trailer hooked to it and I haven't had an issue since! And when I'm not hauling a trailer I easily flip the ball and I slide my dogbox in! I was skeptic about ordering but I do not regret my decision ANY!!! Love this hitch!
