The Hide-A-Goose gooseneck trailer hitch works to meet your heavy-duty towing needs while still allowing you to get full use out of your truck bed. It installs to existing, factory attachment points beneath your vehicle to create a low-profile look.
To remove the ball from this hitch, just lift and turn the lever that is built into the top of the ball. This will disengage the ball bearings in the shank so that you can easily lift the ball out of the hole.
Once you've removed the ball, use the magnetic cover to conceal the ball hole. This cover prevents dirt and debris from getting into the ball hole. This will prevent buildup that could cause the ball to seize up in the hitch.

1)Comes with zero instructions. When you scan the little code on the packing list it comes up 404 error page not found. You then have to print them out on your home computer.
2)Holes did not line up correctly. You are constantly taking out bolts and re inserting them trying to get stuff started.
3)Unless you have a 5/8 tap to clean out the threaded holes good luck! There is so much powder coating in them bolt's won't start.
4)Takes way longer than the estimated time.
5)I have put in several goose neck hitches this is probably one of the heaviest. It was by far the worst to install.1262578

Good hitch. Love the drop and lock ball way more than my old hide-a-goose turnover ball. Installed it myself and only had to unbolt the brake like bracket. Left spare tire and exhaust in place. Put the ball in the center piece and slid it up and had my neighbor hold it by the ball while I put the conicals and nuts on. 519709
Wonderful piece of equipment ! Its out of the way when not in use. Highly recommend it. 1 year no problems at all.1364143

A great hitch. Follow the instruction timeline and you'll B OK May not be for the weekender as we have 13K Challenger lift. Does have a very close bracket to the 7500 Airlift Bag system but it clears. best deal for this year truck1069851

Excellent product installation was easier than I anticipated. Do need a second set of hands to get the plate in place. Only issue I had was the inside plate covered the brake line bracket holes by an 1/8 of an inch.864067

Review from a similar Hide-A-Goose in Gooseneck Hitch
Easy to install, parts are heavy so be careful. I had a issue installing, but that is because I had air-lift bags on my truck. I removed the Air-lift bags and the install went fine. I will modify the air-lift bag brackets and reinstall them. They do need a better cover than the magnet. It blew off driving down the road. 796323
Review from a similar Hide-A-Goose in Gooseneck Hitch
Easy install once you get past the kinda confusing drawings. The safety hooks are pretty short, I just have the nuts flush with threads but can't get the hooks under them. I will have to look for longer ones. Took 3 hrs to install with having to remove hard tonneau cover and bed liner and reinstalling and clean up. Thought it would be worse!! The isolation tape they send with the hitch is kind of cheesy, hopefully it works. Was a great price!435890
Hitch works great, no problems with the ball or linkages freezing up. Everything seems good. Have used it to pull a cattle trailer 12+ times this year.

Review from a similar Hide-A-Goose in Gooseneck Hitch
Great product and it gets used regularly. The quick release is very convenient. My only complaint is that there are no options for an extended gooseneck ball. Similar to the Draw Tite 5" extension. This hitch will not allow you to install a conventional pin to use the draw tite extension as there is a thick piece of metal in the way. The quick release on the ball is the only option. 827736
Review from a similar Hide-A-Goose in Gooseneck Hitch
Hitch seems to be built fairly well as far as the head and rail kit. The side plates for the frame are not even as thick as my frame rail. Didn't like that. Also a major turn off to this hitch, on my truck, a 2001 dodge 2500 short bed, the carriage bolts that hold the head to the rails, the heads hit the bed floor, enough to where the bed does not sit flush on the frame. 4 1 inch holes had to be drilled in the bed to let the bolt heads through. Also used a hare bigger hole saw than 3.5 to give some wiggle room. But the bolts hitting the floor needs to be addressed by draw tite. Wouldn't recommend for a dodge pickup 191838
Review from a similar Hide-A-Goose in Gooseneck Hitch
I couldn't have picked a better hitch for the price! I took it to a local business (Carolina welders, Laurinburg NC) and it took him only an hour to install and it installed perfectly! In two days I had my horse trailer hooked to it and I haven't had an issue since! And when I'm not hauling a trailer I easily flip the ball and I slide my dogbox in! I was skeptic about ordering but I do not regret my decision ANY!!! Love this hitch!651717
Review from a similar Hide-A-Goose in Gooseneck Hitch
I have bought from etrailer for many years now. Many hitches from a 2005 Toyota highlander hitch and wiring, to a 2012 Chrysler town and country hitch and wiring, brake controller to my most recent one a 2008 dodge ram mega cab gooseneck hitch. Every part I have bought have fit without any modification. The YouTube videos are specially helpful. I've recieved my shipment a few days ago which was way faster then I expected. Today i woke up ready to install it, I read the instructions and watched the YouTube video went under my truck bed and started working on it. I did mess up on the hole for the ball but that was my oops. Very satisfied. 501465
Review from a similar Hide-A-Goose in Gooseneck Hitch
I installed the hitch on a 2011 F-150 crew cab with 5 1/2 ft bed. Works perfect with no clearance issues between the truck cab and a platform style gooseneck trailer. Well engineered product.
I would recommend using a lift and removing both rear tires and the spare for more working room. I also marked and drilled the hole for the ball from underneath the bed for a perfect fit.203602
Review from a similar Hide-A-Goose in Gooseneck Hitch
Ordered the hide a ball gooseneck hitch I had it in 4 business days with the free shipping, and if that wasn't good enough I found a cheaper priced hitch on another site after I bought it, and etrailer refunded me the difference plus 5% and lowered the price online so that the customers are getting the best bang for the buck with hands down the best customer service I have encountered yet. As far as the hitch goes it comes with plenty of instructions and all the hardware and took a buddy and I 2 hours from start to finish to complete.

Review from a similar Hide-A-Goose in Gooseneck Hitch
Great product, I watched etrailers videos on installation of the hitch before it arrived and began disassembley of the truck, the video is very helpful in understanding the instructions with the hitch, the hitch arrived early in the day on the arrival date etrailer gave me, so I was able to finish installation that day. Thanks etrailer, Jason463727
Review from a similar Hide-A-Goose in Gooseneck Hitch
Excellent product, easy to follow directions. Videos was great help. Installers in videos make it seem a simple install. I would say if you haven't installed one before it will most likely take more time than expected. Take your time and follow directions step by step. Some unexpected encounters with my truck was a plastic channel than ran along bottom of wheel wheels on both sides that had wiring running thur them. Had to lower to install fasteners. The cross members have threaded studs on end that are painted. Take a wire brush and remove paint from the studs so nuts will go on easy. 57665
Draw Tite does make a Hide-A-Goose gooseneck hitch that fits your 2017 Ford F-350. For that you'd want the part # 9468-94 which comes with the center section and the rail kit. Individually these part numbers are # 4494 and # 9468. view full answer...
The gooseneck hitch we offer for your 2019 Ford F-450 that has the highest towing capacity is the Draw Tite part # 9468-94 which has a capacity of 32,500 lbs trailer weight and 8,125 lbs vertical pin weight. The ball is easily removable too by pulling the pin up on the top of the ball and then turning it 90 degrees to release the mechanism and then you'll be able to pull the ball out of the assembly easily.

The Hide-A-Goose Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Custom Installation Kit # 9468-94 comes with safety chain u-bolts, like are shown in the accompanying photo.

I am not totally sure what you are asking but the Draw Tite Hide A Goose Underbed Gooseneck hitch part # 9468-94 is a confirmed fit for your 2019 Ford F-250 short or long bed. view full answer...
The highest rated gooseneck trailer hitch we currently offer for a 2020 Ford F-450 is the Hide-A-Goose Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Custom Installation Kit part # 9468-94 which is rated at 32,500 lbs. It features an easy install as there is no drilling into the frame and everything is below the bed for full access with the ball removed. If you need a 3" hitch ball, you can add the Hide-A-Goose Performer Gooseneck Hitch Ball with 3" Diameter part # 19307. view full answer...
Yes the Replacement U-bolt kit part # 6308 does fit the Draw Tite Hide-a-Goose Gooseneck hitch that fits your 2019 Ford F-350 part # 9468-94. view full answer...
I confirmed with my tech at Reese that the only ball that sits higher than the one that comes with the Hide-a-Goose # 9468-94 is the Hide-A-Goose Performer Gooseneck Hitch Ball with 2-5/16" Diameter # 19306. This comes with a 1-inch rise. However, the ball you would need is one that has a offset that is closer to the rear of your truck and not one that is necessarily taller. view full answer...
When installing the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1116 on a 2019 Ford F-250, you will need to drill the hitch ball hole 45-1/2" back from the edge of the bed. This may or may not line up perfectly with the factory dimple but you must abide by the hitch manufactures recommendations in order to ensure everything lines up.
If you want the hitch ball hole to line up perfectly with the dimple in the truck bed you can use the Hide-A-Goose Underbed Gooseneck Trailer... view full answer...
We have exactly what you need. Using the Replacement Ball for Reese Elite Series and Factory Ford and Dodge Gooseneck Hitches part # RP19311 will give you the back up you want.. This is the exact replacement part and will fit your Hide-A-Goose part # 9468-94 view full answer...
I have a solution as your Draw-Tite Gooseneck # 9468-94 will not allow for a 5th Wheel Adapter. The 5th wheel adapters such as # C16210 require a locking pin that is slid through the hitch and that is something the Reese/Draw-Tite does not have.
I recommend using the Demco Recon #DM8550045. This 5th Wheel hitch will drop onto your gooseneck ball and clamp to it. It is capable of towing 5th wheels up to 21,000lbs and pin weights of 4,000lbs. Please ensure you do not exceed the maximum... view full answer...
I have another option but the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit # BWGNRK1116 for your 2020 Ford F-250 can not be used without the side latch as that is the mechanism that secures the ball to the hitch.
The B&W Ball and Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061 will not work in the Turnoverball since it uses a ball with a round base designed for the OEM Prep Package for Ford, GM, and Nissan where the Turnoverball uses a square base like the # BWGNXA2000.

The Draw-tite Hide-A-Goose Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # 9468-94 and Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL88399 will work together well and not have any interference issues on your 2019 Ford F-250 FX4.
The Hide-A-Goose # 9468-94 does have the highest weight capacity of the available goosenecks for your 2019 F-250, and the air bags are a great addition to keep the back end from sagging while your towing. I do recommend that you install the gooseneck first, that... view full answer...
