Location Of Holes To Be Drilled For a B&W Turnover Ball On a 2013 Ram 1500 Short Bed Truck
Question:
2013 ram 1500 quad cab w 6’4” bed….what’s the distance fore/aft where you drill the hole? How do you locate the correct distance/location? I see the installer in the video measuring from the rear edge of the bed but no distance is mentioned.

Helpful Expert Reply:
For your 2013 Ram 1500 with the 6'4" bed you will drill the 4" hole for the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1309 at 40-1/8" from the rear edge of the bed. This hole will be centered between the fenders.
The 3/4" hole will be 37-3/8" from the rear edge of the bed and 4-3/4" off the bed center line to the drivers side of the bed. Be sure to see the included image for help in marking the hole centers.
Since you have a short bed the 4" Offset Ball # BWGNXA4685 will help you to gain additional turning clearance that you would otherwise not have.
