Purchasing from etrailer was recommended to me by my son. He has purchased several items over time and always had positive things to say about his experience with etrailer. This was my first purchase from etrailer and I fully agree with my son's assessment. The product was well-described and is of very high quality. The customer service was exceptional in terms of email communication acknowledging receipt of my order and updates regarding shipping. Initially, the product wasn't in stock and was expected in house approximately a month after ordering, which was OK with me as I didn't need it asap. However, I received an email offering another similar product that was in-stock but I opted to wait for the original B&W brand item. Turns out, the B&W item was back in stock within days and shipped asap thereafter. I'm very pleased with my initial etrailer experience and will certainly purchase from them again in the future!1037158

My B&W hitch setup works exactly as I anticipated when I bought it a year ago. Have used it on many trips without issue. As a matter of fact, just pulled my 35 ft 5th wheel 1900 miles... no problem!

Not the cheapest setup out there but definitely high quality. I'm a big fan of the turnover ball but didn't have that option for the OEM setup. Very happy with the B&W ball! And I will continue to do business with etrailer.com! It was easy and they were prompt with delivery! Great outfit!815147

E-trailers is great and you always know what kind of quality you get out of B&W. I have been lucky enough to tour their manufacturing facility and as a mechanical engineer that has worked in a machine shop, I can say that they go above and beyond on all of their products. They may be a little pricey but if you are actually using the equipment there is no better option.1208709

2021 Ram 3500
Mega quality, I have a great respect for American made products and this kit is an awesome example of what buying American made accessories gets you. The design and materials used to build these hitch parts are above all others I've seen. I was very concerned about quality when I started looking at the various brands and the way they were built. This kit has the best design I've seen for the effective securing of a way heavy gooseneck trailer. The last thing I want to do is worry about the safety of my 30k trailer having a solid connection with my tow vehicle. It made sense to me the way the ball release didn't use a part of the ball itself to leverage the release mechanism. Leaving the others with a hollow shaft directly down the middle of the ball. Which I think would compromise the strength of the ball itself comparably. Not to mention having to deal with a Grease packed release tab after using and going to store the ball. B&W is the solid option for ease of use and the strength of a solid ball. Safety is worth the cost for me...1096269

2021 Ram 2500
I was going to get the cheaper, Chy Neese made gooseneck ball kit for my 2021 Ram 2500 6.7 diesel, but two things sent me to the B&W- it's made in America and the ball sits a little higher than it's counterpart. I paid more, but I'm more than pleased with the quality I received! I haven't towed with it yet, but I don't anticipate any problems. Shipping was incredibly fast and it was packaged nicely. The fit and finish are superb. If I had one complaint, it would be with the B&W rubber cap that fits in the receiver socket when tye ball is removed... it fits perfectly and looks nice,, but leaves a lot of space around the hole in the bed that the factory plastic puck fills. This is just an esthetic observation on my part! The blow-mold case is very nice- compact and sturdy. My experience was above average with etrailer and they earned a customer for life. I will recommend B&W products and etrailer to my friends and family!!!1107969

Dodge Ram Pickup
Very well built. Works great on my 2020 Ram 3500 short bed SRW. I use it with a Gen-Y executive hitch on my 2021 Vengeance Rogue Amored 371. The safety chains fit great on the safety chain pucks. I dont have air bags and I feel like my ride height is perfect. I have about 8 to 9 inches of clearance between the top of my bed and bottom of my camper. I also have a tonneau tri fold bed cover and it doesn't get in the way while driving and turning. I've only been on one trip so far but I'm very happy with this setup and ride comfort and lack of noise. I would definitely recommend this product and I would buy it again if ever needed.1009312

wow can't believe It got here on time! took me a millisecond to find the directions (lol - on the underside of the box!). product seems very heavy duty and worth the extra $$ over the curt product. very easy peasy thanks!629214
B&W hitch is far superior to the others. etrailer is the only place I buy trailer or truck equipment, I called them when I found out that the items wouldn’t be shipped for approximately 10 days and told them I would be out of business if I couldn’t get them right away. I was notified that afternoon they were shipped. Thank you etrailer and their costumer service department1064944

Merchandise exactly as described. High quality, very sturdy. Easy to install. Fits perfectly. Can't wait to hook up my new Ram 3500 HO Cummins diesel and hearing it growl as a tow a load.1187733
by: Garrett08/12/2020
Of the puck options for Ram's to me this one looked best. Straight forward to use and chain hooks fit unlike some other versions. Only reason not 5 stars is I dislike all the internal parts that hopefully won't rust up.860770
I went out to our warehouse and measured the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ram Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNXA2062 for you. The distance from the base of the ball where it sits atop the hitch to the top of the ball is 5-3/4". I have also attached a few other measurements you may find useful as well.
If you need any other dimensions or have any other questions then please feel free to let me know. view full answer...
The best options for towing a gooseneck trailer for a 2018 Ram 3500 will be long bed, diesel engine, dually. The cab style will be determined by how many people you will be traveling with most likely. You should note that the wider the doors, the longer the vehicle. You'd end up with a pretty long and wide truck if you did a quad cab, long bed, dually.
Long bed allows you to have turning clearance in sharp turns, diesel engine gives you the torque and longevity for heavy towing, and dually... view full answer...
There are Gooseneck hitch ball options available for the 2019 Ram 3500 with factory prep package. I recommend the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ram Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNXA2062 because of it's stainless steel plated construction that resists corrosion. The ball features a nice handle that allows you to easily put the ball in the prep package and remove it. This kit also comes with stainless steel plated safety chain loops, rubber cover and a storage case. I have... view full answer...
The B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ram Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNXA2062 is a high quality choice of gooseneck hitch that is corrosion resistant in a stainless steel finish. This Gooseneck is capable of a gross towing weight of 30,000 lbs limited to that of your hitch and comes with a ball size of 2-5/16". It also comes with a storage case for easy transport and storage.
Included is are video resources providing a solid overview. view full answer...
The latching mechanism of your gooseneck trailer coupler needs to wrap around the neck of the hitch ball and does not latch to the top of the ball your like your picture and description implies. You would not be safe to continue to tow like this as a big enough bump could send your trailer into your truck or into path of other motorists. You need the latch to clamp around the neck of the ball so that in the event of a big bump it's held tight enough to the ball it won't jump off. view full answer...
For your 2019 Ram 3500 I highly recommend the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2062 because it sits up bit taller than the Curt alternative, which will most likely be needed on your new Ram since the bed rails sit so high. This 30,000 pound capacity ball will drop right into that center puck in your truck bed and the included safety-chain hookups will attach to the corresponding pucks at the rear.

For your 2020 Ram 3500 I highly recommend the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ram Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNXA2062. This is as high of a quality gooseneck ball that you will find anywhere. I really like the way it attaches or is held in place. There is a large handle that gets rotated down to hold it in position compared to the Curt that uses a lever on the top of the ball which gets very messy. Every time you want to take that one out you have that to deal with. I've... view full answer...
The B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2062 will sit 5-3/4" above the gooseneck ball hole on your 2020 Ram 3500. You will need to add or subtract any difference in the bed height from the top of the bed rails to the top of the gooseneck ball hole to determine exactly how far the ball will sit above your bed.

The tallest gooseneck ball we have available for the factory puck system on your 2019 Ram 3500 is the B&W # BWGNXA2062. The top of the ball will sit 5-3/4" above the bed surface on your truck. This is about a 1/2" taller than the next highest option.
In addition to the ball itself this kit also includes the two safety-chain hookups that attach to the factory receivers on your bed. This will provide you with a 30,000 pound towing weight capacity. I have attached a short video review that... view full answer...
I recommend B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ram Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNXA2062 for the 2019 Ram 3500 8 Ft Bed With Factory tow package. The B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit comes with the Gooseneck ball, safety chain anchors, rubber cover and nice storage case. The ball and safety chain anchors are made of stainless steel so they won't rust over time. The best thing about the B&W setup is the integrated handle on the Gooseneck ball makes it easier to take in and out of... view full answer...
Yes, the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ram Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNXA2062 will fit on your 2021 Ram 3500 with a 6-1/2 foot bed and an OEM prep package. view full answer...
Although we do have gooseneck balls to fit the 2021 Ram 2500 factory puck system like the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2062, we do not have any with a built in rise. The top of this ball will sit 5-3/4" above the bed surface on your truck once installed making this the tallest option. Typically 4-6" of clearance from the top of your bed rails is recommended with 6" being ideal. view full answer...
Great news: there is a B&W ball and safety chain kit for newer Ram trucks like your 2018 Ram 2500 that have the factory gooseneck and 5th wheel prep package. It is # BWGNXA2062.
The one for B&W ball and safety chain kit for Ford, Chevy, and Nissan trucks, # BWGNXA2061, does not have a shank that is the right length with the ball bearings in the right place to fit properly and safely in the Ram factory system. view full answer...
I may have a solution for you, however the B&W 1" High-Rise Ball # BWGNXA2050 you referenced features a square shank that will only work with the corresponding square shaped hole on the B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitches. This will not fit the round OEM gooseneck ball hole on your 2018 Ram 2500.
There isn't a high-rise ball available that's designed to fit he OEM puck on your Ram, but we do have the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2062 that's a confirmed fit. While this isn't labeled... view full answer...
Of the available options, I prefer the B&W # BWGNXA2062 which includes the compatible gooseneck ball as well as safety chain anchors that mount in the pucks. As opposed to the Curt and Reese offerings that use a latch mounted in the top of the ball that can be easily damaged, the B&W uses a latch that folds flat when the ball is locked into place so it's out of the way of he gooseneck coupler and won't get damaged.
I've linked to an installation video that you might find helpful. view full answer...
I may have a solution for you, but there is not a taller gooseneck hitch ball that we have available for the B&W, or any other gooseneck hitch at this time. You might be able to get your gooseneck trailer connection away from the toolboxes using something like the 4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches
# BWGNXA4085.

First thing you are going to want to do is spray liberal amounts of lube between the collar and hitch ball, around where you think the retention balls would be. WD40 usually does the trick. Then let this sit for an hour or so or overnight if you can. Then you will want to take a rubber mallet and tap the hitch ball while lifting the release latch to see if you can get the stuck retention balls to break free.

Yes we do have a B and W gooseneck ball for the OEM rail kit of your 2021 Ram 3500 with the part # BWGNXA2062. This is this best option too for your truck as it has the grab handle/release lever unlike other options which means you don't have to grab the dirty ball to release and remove it. view full answer...
The Ram kit is only a fit for Ram pickups but the Chevy kit is compatible with Ford, GM, and Nissan Titan gooseneck hitches.
There are slight differences between the gooseneck hitch ball kits that fit the different brand trucks out there. For example, the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2062 will fit an OEM gooseneck puck system that you would have on the 2017 Ram 3500 that you input for your vehicle info but if you have a 2017 Chevy Silverado 3500 you would need the B&W Ball and... view full answer...
We have exactly what you need, but the Replacement Hitch Ball for B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Hitches # BWGNXA2000 will not fit in the OEM prep package of your 2018 Ram 3500; it has a square base and is only designed to fit Turnoverball hitches.
For your truck with the factory pucks and gooseneck, the correct gooseneck hitch ball is the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ram Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNXA2062. I have added a link to a video review of the hitch ball being... view full answer...
I recommend at least 6" of clearance from the top of your bed rails on your 2021 Ram 3500 to the underbelly of your gooseneck or 5th wheel trailer.
If using a gooseneck trailer and if you have the factory in bed prep/puck system there are different gooseneck balls available with different heights. The Curt Ball and Safety Chain Loops Kit # C60618 has a ball height of 4" from the top of the ball to the flange that sits on the in bed hitch. The B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2062... view full answer...
The B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit part # BWGNXA2061 is designed for models with the factory pucks. If you don't have these then you would need to use the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1016. The two are not compatible as you can see one has a square hitch ball opening and the other is round. view full answer...
We do not carry the Andersen Ultimate Hitch but I looked up the instructions and it fits standard 2-5/16" gooseneck hitch balls so yes, it will work just fine with the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ram Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNXA2062 that fits your 2018 Ram 3500. view full answer...
