Rob: Rob here at etrailer.com. And today we're going to take a look at the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch on our 2019 RAM 2500. Now our B&W Gooseneck Hitch is going to allow us to tow a Gooseneck Trailer and safely get down the road. But at the same time, whenever we're not towing our Gooseneck we can actually remove the ball and we'll have full bed access. And because of the design, we can actually store the ball inside the receiver tube here so we'll have a clean look and we won't have to worry about finding somewhere else to put the ball. Now, the ball on our Gooseneck is going to be a standard size.

It would be a 2 5/16, but the entire ball here has been machined out of one piece of steel. So it's going to have a really strong design to it and if you also noticed that it's actually going to be a square at the bottom rather than a circle, and that's because it's going to fit in to that receiver tube perfectly And there's less chance of the ball turning inside because the corners aren't going to allow it to turn.And whenever we go to put our ball in, we're not going to have to worry about which orientation, because we're going to have holes that go through each side. Whether we put it in this way or this way, that latch can still be able to go through and secure it down. And our hitch is going to come with two integrated safety cables. It is spring loaded, so when we use them, we as grabbing, pull them up and then whenever we're not tying them, this recess down in the bed, they won't be in the way.

As you can see we have plenty of room to get oversized hooks on there or take them off. And what I really like about our B&W Gooseneck is that we are going to be able to tow a gooseneck trailer with it, but there are a lot of other accessories that will fit directly into the receiver of our gooseneck.Say we have a fifth wheel and maybe when occasionally tow a fifth wheel, there's actually a companion fifth wheel hitch with an adapter that will go directly into the gooseneck so you don't have to worry about putting rails in. There's also a ladder rack from B&W that'll go right into the gooseneck. So we can actually leave our entire bed rails open. We don't have to worry about taking up that space.

And the operations to be extremely easy. We're going to have a handle over here on the driver's side wheel well that we can just pull out, push the handle towards the front of the cab. That will lock it in place and we can either remove the ball or put it in. Then when we want to lock the ball in place, we just push the handle towards the back lock into place and that'll lock that ball down. Now, obviously, if you're looking for a gooseneck trailer hitch, you either have a Gooseneck Trailer or you're looking to get one.So you need to know how much it can handle So as far as the weight rating goes, our hitch is going to have a 7,500 pound vertical load limit along with a 30,000 pound gross trailer weight rating.

But that is the rating for the hitch. So you do want to double-check your Ram's owner's manual and never exceed the manufacturer's recommended weight. Now, one thing I do want to mention that B&W does not recommend putting the ball in the stored position and driving like this if you have a shock absorber or a stabilizer bar directly above your rear axle. We look down, we can actually see the shock mount and the reason why we don't want to put it in a stored position while we're driving is because when the suspension starts moving, it can come in contact and potentially cause damage. But obviously we want to keep all the dirt debris and anything else out of our receiver tube hole so B&W has taken that into an account.They have a cover that you can put in place, whether you have the ball stored in or where you have the ball stored out and both of those are going to be available here at etrailer.com. As far as the installation goes, it is going to be really straightforward. We're only going to have to drill five holes, two for each one of the safety chains, and then obviously one for our ball to come through. But B&W has made it extremely easy to find these locations. They give you a couple of templates, so it's near impossible to drill in the wrong location. But let's go ahead and walk through the installation together so you can have the competence to do it yourself.To begin our installation. We wan
