Truck Bed Measurement for Drilling 4 inch Hole for B and W Gooseneck Turnoverball Hitch

Question:

I just recieved my gnrk1217 and now Im preparing to install it. When laying out to drill the hole through my bed, it appears as the 4inch hole will not fall in the stamped portion of the bed where the oem ball would be located. I pulled the exact measurement in the installation instructions 46 1/2. Is this the correct fitment on my 2019 Nissan Titan Xd?

I checked with B and W and they do state that the center of the 4 inch hole for the ball of the # BWGNRK1217 to fit through does need to be 46-1/2 inches from the rear edge of the truck bed. They do show in their install diagram that is SHOULD land in the ball area of the truck bed like you mentioned. You might double check the measurement and also double check you are measuring from the rear truck bed edge. Hook the tape measure over the rear edge and drag it forward into the bed.
