Recommended Gooseneck Hitch Ball Kit for 2020 Ford F-350 with Factory Puck System

Question

Question:

What gooseneck hitch ball kit do you recommend for my 2020 F-350? I have the factory puck system so I don't need rails or anything.

I recommend using the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061 for the factory puck system on your 2020 Ford F-350 Super Duty. I like this kit of the Curt # C60692 and Reese # RP30137 options because it uses a handle to secure the gooseneck hitch ball instead of a tab on top of the hitch ball which will be constantly rubbing against the gooseneck coupler while you're towing.

The B&W option is a little more pricey but it does come with a limited lifetime warranty and is made right here in the USA, plus B&W has a fantastic reputation among the heavy-duty towing community so you can be confident that this product will last you a long time.

Attached is a sample installation of this kit on a 2019 F-350 as well as a photo showing what it looks like installed.

Unfortunately the hitch ball isn't available by itself from the manufacturer.

If you were to get bearing grease on the brake pads then they are pretty much done and would have to be replaced because you will never be able to get all of the grease off of them. It doesn't sound like grease is the problem though because the…
