Install this heavy-duty hitch on your vehicle so that you can securely tow your gooseneck trailer. Store the removable ball upside down in the hitch when you aren't towing to get complete bed access. Square ball base won't turn in hitch.
Features:
Specs:
Note: If your truck's suspension has a stabilizer in between the top of the differential housing and the frame, turning over the ball and stowing it in the socket could cause damage to your truck's suspension.
With the B&W Turnoverball underbed gooseneck trailer hitch you get the best of both worlds. When you go to tow, the Turnoverball creates a sturdy, dependable connection with your gooseneck trailer. And when you're done towing, you can stow the ball upside down in the hitch to get full bed access and a clean appearance.
The durable steel hitch ball included with the Turnoverball system secures in the hitch with a sturdy, 5/8" thick steel pin that is incorporated into the end of the operating handle. To lock the ball in place, drop it into the hitch hole in the bed of your truck. Then rotate the handle in your driver's-side wheel well counterclockwise until the latch engages. When the latch is engaged, the spring-loaded pin on the end of the handle will be inserted all the way through the base of the hitch ball, forming a strong, solid connection and ensuring absolute security when you're towing.
When you're done towing, remove the hitch ball by simply pulling the handle out as far as it will go and then rotating it clockwise until it unlatches. Remove the ball, flip it upside down, and drop it back into the ball hole of the hitch. Then reengage the latch to secure the stowed ball in place.
Unlike typical gooseneck balls - which have round bases - the Turnoverball hitch ball is designed with a square base. This makes latching the ball in the hitch easier because the base won't rotate inside of the hitch like a round base might, so lining the pin up is a snap. The base of the ball also fits tightly within the ball hole during storage. Because only the corners of the base contact the sides of the socket, any dirt or grime that gets into the hitch will fall through the socket, thus helping to prevent any buildup that could cause the ball to seize up in the hitch.
Simple, Custom Installation
This hitch is custom designed for your vehicle. The included mounting brackets bolt to existing holes in your truck's frame. While some modification is required - you will need to cut a 3-1/2" diameter hole in your bed for the hitch ball and drill holes for the built-in safety chain loops - there is no need to weld onto or to drill into your frame.
Once you have the hitch brackets and body installed, set up the operating handle. This handle is designed to be accessed from the rear driver's-side wheel well. On the end of the handle is the heavy-duty steel pin that secures the hitch ball.
B&W makes it easy to tow just about anything. With the many adapters and accessories available, the Turnoverball can be made to work with almost any gooseneck trailer. Hitch balls are available that have a built-in rise, an offset, and even a different connection type. Add on the Companion fifth-wheel hitch - which attaches directly to the Turnoverball with no other parts required - and you can tow your fifth-wheel trailer.

This is my second B&W GN hitch from Etrailer. 1st is over 2 years and this one is a year. Both have worked almost flawlessly. Only issue I have is that the ball release latch on this last one is really difficult to get to stay latched open to turn the ball.
This B&W hitch preforms perfectly, my Companion Hitch slips right in and away we go, also it was very easy to install with having the template for the ball cut out, I also hook right on to my goose neck straight ball. Release mechanism works great. I keep a little lubricant applied to help it from seizing up when I'm not using it, awesome hitch, I've had a B & W Hitch for 24 years in two different trucks.
Was actually surprised on how easy it was to install. I took a little time to go over the instructions and step by step had it done in 4 hours. The hardest part was getting the handle bolted together due to limited room on my power wagon.
Works as advertised. Straightforward with installation, takes a few hours to install if you are handy with tools. After a year of hard use, still works well.
Best gooseneck hitch by far. I wish I could get them OEM installed when I purchase new vehicles for my fleet.
Need proper tools and mechanical aptitude to complete installation and a helping hand but great hitch for my 5th wheel hook up
This is my 2nd B&W turnover underbed hitch that I have purchased from e-trailer. Price was good, shipping was fast
and the hitch works absolutely great, and it was easy to install.
I removed the ram factory gooseneck hitch and replaced it with the b& w turnover. I did have to open up the holes in the hitch for the vertical factory bolts to fit. I also had to grind down the factory bolt closest to the fuel tank in order for the release latch to slide in and out. Lastly I had to bend the release lever in a few spots to operate smoothly. Swapping the factory for b&w hitch does work for anyone considering. I did so that I could continue using my companion hitch. This was cheaper than buying the big clunky ram fifth wheel base for the puck system. The installation videos were extremely helpful and I love purchasing from etrailer.com
Easy installation
The B&W turnover ball has performed flawlessly over the past year. We use it on our 2019 Ram 2500 and tow a 5th Wheel using the Andersen Ultimate Hitch. I love that the ball folds down flush with the bed of the truck and can have it setup and ready to go in 30 seconds.
Arrived on time. Well made hitch. Excited for the install. Thanks eTrailer for the great brands and products you sell and the always exceptional customer service.
Fantastic hitch, easy install and quality parts. The latch handle came missing from the package. Emailed etrailer, took some pictures of the box and etrailer made it right by shipping a latch handle at no cost to me. This is the reason why I will continue to be a return customer.

Super easy install on my 22 Ram 2500 and performs as advertised. My recommendation is to put grease on the ball if your leaving it in the receiver for an extended period of time. Seen way to many videos of the ball getting siezed in receiver. Slap some grease in there and that won’t happen. Highly recommended if you plan on getting the 5th wheel companion hitch because they really are designed to work perfectly together.
This thing is awesome!! Well designed and can be installed at home. I have not towed with it yet but that will change soon. Would state that two things, 1st torquing this to spec will require the right tools. Second make sure you have a new/ sharp hole saw. When installing mine I had a used while saw that walked a little. Just a cosmetic issue and the spray in Berliner will fix!!

Only way to go! I have used this with my Reece Goosebox and love it. With over 4,000 miles pulling and 9,000 miles on the truck total I have not complaints at all. Would recommend to ensure you grease the ball every time you hook up!!
I installed this gooseneck hitch in my truck so I can use my single point mount B&W Companion. This installation was a little different since the truck has the factory prep package. The factory gooseneck uses four vertical bolts that go down from the top and cannot be removed without raising the bed. I left those bolts in place and reused the factory nuts and used the four B&W bolts in the horizontal positions. It worked perfectly. The only problem I had was the left front vertical mounting bolt hit one of the handle bracket bolts so I had to make some minor adjustments to the handle bracket. I also did not install the B&W chain hooks because I have the puck mount rings if I need them. The B&W gooseneck hitch appears to be much more heavy duty than the factory setup.
Worked out … Perfect upgrade to the factory system. I hated having to remove , and place the covers in the bed. Now that the safety chains are closer to the center I can load boards and stuff that I don’t want in the trailer in the bed without having to rearrange everything. Only thing is the safety chain hoops are little thicker than the bed ribs and stick up. So it’s not totally flat..
Good solid receiver. Straight forward install. I am a fairly competent mechanic and it took me about 3 1/2 hours to install. Bolts right up to factory crossmember no drilling cutting or welding to frame required. You’ll just have to zip tie a few wires out of the way. I would recommend removing the drivers side fender and soapy water on the exhaust hanger will make things a lot easier. I’m happy with how flush the receiver is in the bed completely flat With no obstruction of bed space at all. I did not install the chain hooks and i only plan on using it with my recon companion style fifth wheel hitch. The install was made a lot easier with a curved wrench as shown in my pictures.
2019 Ram 2500, Cummins, w/o factory prep. Love the versatility and easy installation of the B&W 1320 turnover ball. Installed it by myself with the only the tools listed in the instructions. E-trailer's instructional video was spot on and very helpful. Can now pull gooseneck as well as drop in the companion hitch and go camping.
Couldn’t find this B&W turnover anywhere locally in a reasonable time frame. My internet search brought me to etrailer and George J. Customer service was unmatched and shipping was unbelievably fast. Installing was a breeze. B&W has done an excellent job making a high quality product that’s very easy to install. Above all, thank you etrailer/ George J for your help getting me what I needed fast and with great customer service. 1 year later I’m happier than ever and will never search else where for what I need.

Perfect and everything I needed. The best part of my purchase was the first class customer service from ETRAILER. I was in Alaska and needed it fast. ETrailer understood, and got it to me in a few days! Every local place was months out to get it for me. Thank you everyone at ETrailer and Happy New Year.
Hitch is well built!!!!Was easy to install. The video they provide is spot on! Very satisfied all the way around! Would definitely buy again.
I used a clamp to drill the pilot hole. Everything lines right up. B&W is a great product.
Installed this in a 2021 Ram 2500!
If you are installing this hitch on a RAM without the OEM hitch just follow the instructions. Everything is spelled out nicely.
My first conversion from the Ram puck system to the B&W was made in order to use their offset ball. It was on a 2018 RAM 2500 and was pretty straight forward using the four factory mounting bolts rather than those supplied with the hitch. That way I didn't have to remove the truck bed.
I just finished a second conversion on a 2019 RAM single wheel 3500. It was more complicated. I understood that this hitch was intended for a RAM without the factory hitch so I spoke to B&W to make sure the 1320 could replace my Original factory hitch. I was told it would. It did fit, however I had to drill out the holes for the four vertical mounting bolts to 3/4" so I could use the factory mounting bolts. This allowed me to install the hitch without removing the truck bed. I also had to shorten the front driver side factory bolt so it would clear the ball latch lever. I used the bolts supplied with the hitch for the four horizontal bolts because the factory bolts won't fit the B&W hitch. With the above modifications everything functions as it should.
I hope this helps anyone wanting to install the B&W on a RAM with the factory puck system.

With the mods mentioned in my first review. The hitch works just like the one I installed in my 2018 Ram 2500 and I am pleased with the results. However, it was more complicated to install.
I found the website confusing and ordered the wrong part. Called in to resolve problem. Kind and courteous staff. Very happy with my turnoverball.
Excellent craftsmanship. Installed rather easy. Watched a couple of videos. Only issue was the safety chain holes were a little off. Had to ream the truck bed a little more then I wanted but it looks ok. My truck has a shock just below the ball. So I can’t store the ball in it. Wish it came with a cover.
excellent product,easy to install,customer service very helpful.
Great to work with and great products
Excellent product and great customer service. Customer was very pleased with the product.
