Is this right For you? Product Expert Kathleen M says:
Yes, if you:
Have limited clearance between where the gooseneck hitch mounts and your exhaust or rear differential
Use your truck to haul more than just a gooseneck and want to be able to store the ball out of the way
Want to make sure no one can just take the hitch ball out of your truck
No, if you:
Are bothered by having to cut out a much larger hole than the typical underbed gooseneck hitch to accommodate the folding ball
Like the overall look of your truck and would rather have something a little less intrusive
Have a very large trailer where you need a higher GTW than 25,000 lbs

Bought this drawtite gooseneck hitch for my 2007 Dodge 2500 to pull and 8000lb horse trailer. Love it! It's simple design, easy to install, and "no profile" when folded down not in use. Caution if this is your first install - be VERY careful taking measurements to cut the hole in bed, you only get one chance to get it right. Totally recommend. Great price. 336573

Fantastic! No regrets. No issues. Oh wish the instructions for cutting out the home in the bed were better. Performance of the hitch is flawless though.

Review from a similar Fold Down Gooseneck Hitch in Gooseneck Hitch
Solid built! Ball moves much better than I expected. Install takes some focus and the right tools but overall the manufactures guides and support provided from etrailer covered everything.
This unit sits back over the axle much better than the hidden hitch style does. Yes, you can see it but if you have any concern about your trailer getting into your cab this unit gives you some critical inches. Wouldn't hesitate to purchase another in the future.463254

Realized I would not find time to install this product in a timely manner. Passed it on to my mechanic, he got it installed in a couple hours. Worked great on our first two trips, anticipate no problems. Great service from Dana, she answered all of my questions, was efficient and a pleasure with which to talk. I received my order quicker than I anticipated, delivered in excellent shape.223823

Review from a similar Fold Down Gooseneck Hitch in Gooseneck Hitch
Product shipped fast and was even delivered a day early. Quality is excellent. Ordering was easy. I ordered both the gooseneck hitch and rail kit. Price on this site was $160 less than everywhere else. The description said that a template came included for where to cut out the bed, which it did, but there was no indicator on exactly where to set the teplate from the front or rear of bed. Which makes it complicated. but all in all I am pleased with my product and service. 170953

Review from a similar Fold Down Gooseneck Hitch in Gooseneck Hitch
I am impressed with the service that I received. The hitch and installation brackets arrived within 4 days of when I ordered them. The quality of the hitch and materials is exactly as depicted on the website. After reading the installation instructions, installing the hitch should be a fairly simple project. The only problem I see is that I will have to drill one hole on each side frame but since I haven't installed it yet I don't know how easy it will be. I will follow up once I have it installed103581

Review from a similar Fold Down Gooseneck Hitch in Gooseneck Hitch
Good price, fast shipping, was really easy to put in, had to use my cherry picker to lift the backend off of the suspension to make it easier but it wasn't bad. Only thing that worries me is the 2 pieces that mount to the side of the frame only have 2 bolts per side, I drilled 2 more holes in the frame and added 2 more bolts to each side. There is 5 holes on the kit per side, but only 2 holes on my frame. Maybe thats enough but I added some to be safe.7977

No issues with it's intended use. Works great. Installation a little tricky and directions somewhat lacking in the detail department. Took considerably longer than I anticipated. Once in, works great. 272705

Still very sturdy pulling horse trailer. Only issue is that it sticks a bit trying to flip ball up and down. Would definitely buy again though for a truck in the future.

The first thing you will need to do is apply liberal amounts of spray lubricant to all of the moving parts that seem stuck. Sometimes it helps to apply some, wait an hour or so and apply more and then do whatever it takes to pry the ball out.
But it really depends on what style of gooseneck hitch you have. If you have a Fold-Down style like the # 8339-4435 then basically you will just want to do whatever it takes to get the hinged cover to pry up since when it comes up it also moves the... view full answer...
For your 2008 Dodge Mega Cab 2500 the Reese Gooseneck part # 8339-4435 would be perfect as it is a confirmed fit and the ball release mechanism is right next to the ball so it would not require you to mess with any levers in the wheel well of the truck. view full answer...
For a gooseneck hitch for your 2012 Dodge Ram 3500 with an 8 foot box I would recommend you get a Reese Gooseneck # 8339-4435. This comes with everything needed to install a hitch in your vehicle. I attached installation instructions for this product for you to check out also. view full answer...
Yes, the Draw-Tite gooseneck hitch # 8339 is a confirmed match to the installation rail kit # 4435 which fits your 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 6-foot-bed mega cab. We offer both together as part # 8339-4435 and each portion is available individually too as parts # 8339 and # 4435.
If you need a wiring harness for the truck we have Bargman in-bed gooseneck harness # 51-97-411. view full answer...
Yes, Fold-Down Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Installation Kit, # 8339-4435, includes the hitch itself, the installation kit, and the hardware needed to install it.

The Fold-Down Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Installation Kit # 8339-4435 is an above the bed unit that sticks up on the truck bed where it may interfere with applying a slide in truck camper to your bed, even when its folded down. When I spoke to my contact at Draw-Tite, they said if your truck camper can clear 3/4" (distance from door that holds the ball up to the truck bed) then it may fit.
When planning to apply to slide in truck camper in the bed of your truck, I recommend a below the... view full answer...
For a great gooseneck hitch for your 2009 Dodge Ram 2500 quad cab (6-1/2 foot bed), I recommend the Fold-Down Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Installation Kit - Dodge Ram Trucks # 8339-4435. With this system, you do not need to worry about removing or cutting out your wheel well covers to fit the hitch like most other hitches we carry for your truck. It also has a convenient fold-down mechanism that allows full use of the bed when not towing. It comes with a 25k maximum gross towing weight... view full answer...
For your 3/4 ton Dodge you will need the Fold-Down Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Installation Kit - Dodge Ram Trucks, item # 8339-4435.
The limiting factor for towing a gooseneck trailer is usually the truck. You will need to find the gross combined vehicle weight rating for your truck (GCVWR) to determine if the equipment trailer and the loads you are hauling are within the capabilities of the vehicle. You also need to be sure to stay within the weight rating of the hitch.

We offer quite a few goose neck hitches for your 2012 Dodge Ram 3500 short bed and all can be seen on the link provided. I reviewed the installation instructions for most of these items and the hitch ball location stays within a fairly tight range of 44-inches to 46-inches from the rear edge of the truck's bed. The B and W # BWGNRK1313 that you referenced has its ball 45-1/2-inches from the rear edge.
Among those with the smallest (44-inch) distance for ball placement are Reese # 8339-4435,... view full answer...
The best priced gooseneck hitch we offer for your 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 short bed is the Reese hitch part # 8339-4435. This is a great hitch that when not in use can fold up and out of the way.
My favorite one though is the B and W Turnover part # BWGNRK1313. This is one of the nicest hitches around and offer the flexibility of allowing you to install a fifth wheel hitch in it if needed with part # BWRVK3400. The ball of this hitch gets removed and reinstall upside-down when not in use. view full answer...
Curt does offer gooseneck hitch kits that fit your 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 but none that use the # C61100. Instead you'd need a hitch like the part # C607-661 which comes with the rail kit that's custom fit for your truck and a gooseneck hitch plate that allows you to flip the ball over and store it out of the way when not in use. view full answer...
There are a couple of issues that you need to be aware of. First, you need to consult the owners manual for the gross combined vehicle weight rating for the truck. From what I could find, the towing capacity of the truck does not come very close to 30,000 pounds.
Next, I do have a solution for installing a 5th wheel hitch and gooseneck in your truck. First, for a 5th wheel trailer hitch and install kit, I recommend the Reese 16K round tube slider, # RP30075 which will offer you the most... view full answer...
There are several different gooseneck trailer hitches that can be used on the 2009 Dodge 2500 Pickup. The Remove-A-Ball Gooseneck, part # 6300-4435, and the Fold Down Gooseneck Series, part # 8339-4435, are very good systems that do not require drilling or bed removal and will fit all models of the Dodge truck.
There is also an option to use standard fifth wheel rails and a gooseneck hitch mount, like gooseneck hitch # RP58079 and custom fifth-wheel rail kit # RP50140-58. If your truck... view full answer...
For a custom-fit Reese 5th wheel base rail kit for your 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 with 6-foot bed you can use their kit # RP50140-58 that you referenced. This includes base rails, custom under-bed brackets and hardware and it will accept any industry-standard 5th wheel hitch, or a gooseneck adapter such as # 16055. All such 5th-wheel-to-Gooseneck adapters are linked.
For a Reese Gooseneck hitch kit you can use # 8339-4435 which is a no-drill install that is confirmed to fit your 6-foot bed 2500.

Some people prefer the fifth wheel hitch over the goose neck as it spreads the weight out in the bed of your truck a little more than the gooseneck does.
To determine if your truck could handle towing your boat and trailer I would recommend consulting the owners manual of your 2009 Dodge Ram 3500.
If you have a 6.5' bed then I recommend a slider like the # C16541 to increase your turning clearance for tight turns.
It would also be easier to hitch up to a fifth wheel hitch because its... view full answer...
