No matter what kind of towing we got you covered. Out of all of our towing products my recommendations all include part from B&W because they make some of the best towing equipment on the market (made in the USA!) which is backed by a lifetime warranty.
If you will be bumper pull towing then I recommend the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount which comes to fit both a 2" hitch as part # BWTS10049B or a 2-1/2" hitch as part # BWTS20049B. What makes this ball mount so great is that it comes with the 3 most popular hitch ball sizes and a max drop of 7" with a max rise of 7-1/2" making it so that you can tow just about any trailer out there. You can stow the hitch balls on the back side of the ball mount when not in use and then the entire system locks to your hitch using just one locking pin # C23025.
When it comes to gooseneck/5th wheel towing B&W has a 2-in-1 option with their Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1020. This is not only a great trailer hitch that allows you to store the hitch ball upside down so that it's inside the hitch, but it also doubles as the base system for the Companion 5th Wheel Hitch, which is offered as a stationary hitch # BWRVK3500 for long beds or a sliding hitch # BWRVK3400 if you have a short bed. When you aren't towing anything you are able to have a completely clear bed for hauling loads.
If you will be gooseneck/5th wheel hauling then I also recommend installing the Curt # C56000 in your truck bed. This puts a 7-Way socket in your truck bed so you don't have to stretch out your trailer wiring from inside your bed down to your bumper area.
Attached are some review and installation videos for you to check out on each product I mentioned on this page.
