Recommended Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch For 2016 Ram 2500

Question:

Thanks for the advice Jeffrey. I would like to put a gooseneck on my Fifth Wheel so I don't have to mess with the companion. my coworker said he runs a gooseneck with an offset to make sure he has enough room not to hit the fifth wheel with the cab of his truck. I think I want to go with that type of set up. just have never seen one in action. Thanks for your advice in advance .

For an under bed gooseneck hitch I recommend the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch, part # BWGNRK1384.

This comes with a custom installation kit. The hitch has spring-loaded safety-chain hookups built in. The hitch ball can be removed and flipped upside down in the hitch for storage when you are not towing. The gooseneck can be used with a Companion fifth wheel hitch if you ever need to tow a fifth wheel.

If you need a wiring harness for your trailer I recommend part # 41157.

We have another system you may want to consider for your truck. I recommend the Curt Gooseneck, part # C60614. This is an underbed hitch that is custom made for your Ram. I then recommend the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler, part # BWTEXA4200. This replaces the inner tube of your gooseneck on your trailer and gives you an additional 10-inches of clearance from your truck cab when towing.
