With the B&W Turnoverball underbed gooseneck trailer hitch you get the best of both worlds. When you go to tow, the Turnoverball creates a sturdy, dependable connection with your gooseneck trailer. And when you're done towing, you can stow the ball upside down in the hitch to get full bed access and a clean appearance.
The durable steel hitch ball included with the Turnoverball system secures in the hitch with a sturdy, 5/8" thick steel pin that is incorporated into the end of the operating handle. To lock the ball in place, drop it into the hitch hole in the bed of your truck. Then rotate the handle in your driver's-side wheel well counterclockwise until the latch engages. When the latch is engaged, the spring-loaded pin on the end of the handle will be inserted all the way through the base of the hitch ball, forming a strong, solid connection and ensuring absolute security when you're towing.
When you're done towing, remove the hitch ball by simply pulling the handle out as far as it will go and then rotating it clockwise until it unlatches. Remove the ball, flip it upside down, and drop it back into the ball hole of the hitch. Then reengage the latch to secure the stowed ball in place.
Unlike typical gooseneck balls - which have round bases - the Turnoverball hitch ball is designed with a square base. This makes latching the ball in the hitch easier because the base won't rotate inside of the hitch like a round base might, so lining the pin up is a snap. The base of the ball also fits tightly within the ball hole during storage. Because only the corners of the base contact the sides of the socket, any dirt or grime that gets into the hitch will fall through the socket, thus helping to prevent any buildup that could cause the ball to seize up in the hitch.
Simple, Custom Installation
This hitch is custom designed for your vehicle. The included mounting brackets bolt to existing holes in your truck's frame. While some modification is required - you will need to cut a 4" diameter hole in your bed for the hitch ball and drill holes for the built-in safety chain loops - there is no need to weld onto or to drill into your frame.
Once you have the hitch brackets and body installed, set up the operating handle. This handle is designed to be accessed from the rear driver's-side wheel well. On the end of the handle is the heavy-duty steel pin that secures the hitch ball.
B&W makes it easy to tow just about anything. With the many adapters and accessories available, the Turnoverball can be made to work with almost any gooseneck trailer. Hitch balls are available that have a built-in rise, an offset, and even a different connection type. Add on the Companion fifth-wheel hitch - which attaches directly to the Turnoverball with no other parts required - and you can tow your fifth-wheel trailer.

Install this heavy-duty hitch on your vehicle so that you can securely tow your gooseneck trailer. Store the removable ball upside down in the hitch when you aren't towing to get complete bed access. Square ball base won't turn in hitch.Overall this Installation went as I anticipated, 4-5 hours; it's not for an unprepared amateur. I strongly recommend watching the Installation Video, but more importantly, disconnecting the wiring harness (from both sides, there's 3 connectors) that cross over the rear cross member above the Differential. Disconnecting the rear exhaust was a MUST DO for us (my son helped me) as is a second person. Patience was our friend during this entire Installation for both of us. The brake line that crosses over to the passenger side was of concern to me, and got in the way as well; in the end it is below this entire installation. However there is a Mount Block on the driverside that creates a problemwith getting one bolt into place; a "Fishing Spring" (spring wire that wraps around the threads with long tail to fish/thread/pull thru the hole) would have helped to get this into place. (SEE PICTURE) Once in place the head is able to be held with a narrow spanked wrench while tightening. The rear center bolt is a HUGE challenge to reach once everything is in place and you're torquing things to spec.I had to purchase a "3/4" Crowsfoot" to get this and some of the others because of things blocking access with a socket (not talked about in the video or Installation Video). Once everything is in place and Reconnecting electrical plugs we found that there was enough gap/spacebehind the Kit Rear Cross Bar, over the vehicle rear cross member, to run the driver side electrical. Pay attention to have the "male" plug facing inboard to give you enough slack to reach the passenger side plug. A couple of zip-ties were needed to keep this inplace. See picture for how I routed this and the vent tube to avoid the heatshield.
I've got a 26 foot Keystone Cougar 5th wheel RV Trailer that I be using this, along with an Andersen 3217 hitch. With this B&W Hitch I don't have the 5th wheel Rails across the bed full-time anymore of my 2022 Ram 1500DT 4x4.
I didn’t receive any installation instructions with order so will not review. I have sent an email to customer service and am hoping for a response by Monday @ noon because I am installing this hitch Monday afternoon .
Great product and and even greater company to work with.
Do not use this model...1319 for a 2021 Ram1500, 5'7", Eco diesel, extra large optional fuel tank, factory, 4 point air ride without major modifications/ reshape front driver's side hitch anchors!
I have installed many B&W under bed hitches and the engineers do wonders. The above listed Ram1500 has need of relocating driver's side air/ wire cable, no room behind large optional fuel tank, or u- bolt/ bracket placement difficulty b/c oc large diameter wire/air supply braid severely hampering those installments.
Access to the above mentioned brackets as well as push through bolts/ nut placement is very difficult r/lated to finger space.
Don't start something you may very well not be able to finish in a quality workmanship manner. The 2022 similar equiped Ram1500 5'7" model could very well be a similar mess to get involved with. B&W underbody hitches are the best, in my book, but vehicle manufacturer may no want to assist in your adventure. You have been warned. Mine is installed but I used tricks from many resources over the years(68) I would never advise this ...1319BW for a repeat!!

I will have our customer service team reach out to you. I contacted B&W and while the space is tight the optional large fuel tank will allow the drivers side cable to be rerouted. I would recommend watching the video that we have on the 2019 Ram 1500.
The hitch works good and installed fairly easy in my Ram 1500. The materials seem to be sturdy and well made.
hitch is good quality ,but I had to cut 3/4" off each end of one part to get it to fit. There was no way it was fitting in my 2019 ram limited

Working great
Great hitch with only one problem. I installed on a Ram 1500 Limited with 5.7, 8 SPD trans, air suspension and the exhaust pipes ride against the hitch.
instructions mostly clear, only one or two places I had to check diagrams to be sure I had it right but very good install and operation.
THE THIRD OF THIS HITCH I HAVE INSTALLED

JUST FINE , INSTALLED PER INST. WITH NO PROBLEM ON MY 2019 6.5 FT 1500
Took a minute to install, but all in all was easy. A shorter torque wrench would've made life easier! Works great too!
It is a custom fit. Video for installation was great
Very fast shipping and top notch qualit y!

After a year of use were still happy. The only thing we didn’t do, because of availability at first later it was determined that Andersen has issues was use the Andersen Hitch instead we are using the B&W Slider we have a 2022 Ram 1500 Bighorn Quad Cab with a 6.4 foot bed.
