Best Truck Gooseneck Hitches

The hitch is beefy and seem to be very strong. My guess is the truck frame will give before the hitch. Great quality. I very happy! I'm an above average backyard mechanic and found the installation doable, but a little of a challenge. Differently need a help. My wife was a big help. I use a 2X4 across my bed and a ratchet strap to lift and hold the center section in to position. I also had to reposition my exhaust pipe where it goes over the differential to get some clearance. Also, I had to drill out one of the square holes in the tailpipe L bracket to receive the factory bolt.

Seems to be as described. I haven’t yet used it to tow anything, but the instructions were accurate. Installed on my 2003 f-350. It did take quite a bit longer than I thought. Started around 1pm and got wrapped up around 6. At first it didn’t look like things were lining up right, but everything moved into place as I snugged bolts down and torqued as the sequence in the instructions say. I love how it sits flush and is so user friendly once installed. I have used the same type of hitch on a truck at the fire station, so I’m familiar with how they work and they have always been great for me and others. I just dropped a star for how long the install took compared to their estimate. I’m not new to turning wrenches either, but it didn’t look like things were lining up at first.

Not a bad install at all. Pretty straight forward.

This was my first order I placed with et etrailer. If one work could say it I guess it would perfect! I ordered on a Tuesday arrived on Thursday. I Placed the order got conformation and a name and contact to call if I had any issues, once it arrived I got another email letting me know if had been delivered. The installation video was perfect made it’s easy to install just followed the steps. When I need any trailer related items I will use them. As far as the B&W hitch i put it in a 2017 Ram 2500 with Ram boxes. The fit and quality of the hitch and design is what I have come to expect from B&W. I got this hitch to pull a gooseneck horse trailer. If your wondering if it will work with Ram Boxes it will.

I have used these three times now pulling a 14k fifth wheel. They work great. Easy to install and no huge hitch tying up my truck bed. The last hookup I had one of my safety chains hooked to short. Made a fairly sharp turn and heard a loud pop. I had it looped through the chain holder and back up to the camper. It straightened the hook on the chain but didn’t phase the Curt chain bracket in the truck. These things are tough.

etrailer was great! I received Gooseneck hitch in a damaged carrying case (used to store the hitch hardware). etrailer immediately sent a new carrying case. etrailer has GEAT customer service. Thank you!

I purchased this to pull a 25Ton GN trailer with heavy equipment and so far it works great! Good price point and reliable product. I would highly recommend this product and trailer. Thank you!

One year later and it’s probably the best thing I could have added to my truck. Haven’t stopped hauling since I installed the turnover hitch

The kit arrived in two days. The quality is very good. All the parts fit as described. We were able to install it in a few hours without a lift. We plan on pulling a 14,000 # trailer to move farm equipment. This trailer will replace an old 12,000# pintle hitch trailer. I would definitely recommend this kit to others.

I like the hitch but when ai am pulling my trailers, and I am moving them around at low speeds it seems that there is a good amount of movement in the hitch and the feel in the truck. I’m not sure what that is but I have used trucks that didn’t have that feel in them but mine definitely does. We followed all directions and torqued all bolts to the required amount. Maybe someone can shed some light on what that maybe. Thanks

B&W hitch arrived and installing was a breeze. The ONLY problem I encountered was the lock washers included seemed inferior and better than half of them spread apart and I replaced them with known good. All in all good quality and etrailer was very good to deal with. I'll still give my whole experience 5 stars....maybe they just got a bad batch of lock washers.

Easy to install with minimal modifications to the truck. This hitch has held up well towing a 44 ft trailer loaded to the max. Great product.

The B&W hitches are the best in the business. I have had 6 of them now from a 92 Dodge, an 07 Dmax, a 2012 HD2500, a 15 Dodge, a 19 HD2500 and a 21 Dmax and now this latest one in an 06 HD2500. I HAVE HAF ZERO ISSUES WITH ALLBOF THESE HITCHES. ZERO!!!!!!!!!. READ the directions and FOLLOW the directions and you will be very satisfied with the results.

After having this hitch for a year I can’t say I’m too impressed. They claim the powdercoat on it is durable, but after only a year there’s already spots of rust. The pictures I’ve included are only showing a few spots I’ve noticed. I painted the pieces that sit against my frame with frame paint in hopes that doesn’t rust either. But the outside facing pieces, I haven’t touched. My truck is stored in the winter and the hitch hasn’t even been used yet since purchase. I’m sure it performs well since my last gooseneck hitch was B&W. But as for durability, I don’t think they do as well anymore. It shouldn’t be this rusty only after a year, being stored, not seeing salt or even being used.

This was not to difficult to install. The most nerve racking part was cutting a hole in the bed of my truck. So far the finish is holding up to the weather and none of the bolts have come loose. Now, I just need to get a Gen Y or Reese Goosebox for my 5th wheel to eliminate the giant hitch in the back of my truck!

About a year ago i purchased this and i honestly have not put it to use. However, i did get an email from the company asking me about my experience and it was just a nice thing to see. So, my experience installing it went very well. Online directions from the company made it a breeze without any questions. I think the whole process took 2 hour with my dads help. The hardest part for me was cutting the heat sheild off the exhaust because i didnt have the right tools.

Great product and perfect fit for my 2005 GMC Sierra duramax. I just purchased a Montana fifth wheel and wanted to still be able to use the bed of the truck without taking a heavy hitch in and out and breaking my back. The hitch arrived really fast and the boxes were in pretty good shape and I was only missing one washer from a torn parts bag. I was able to install the hitch that weekend with help of the directions and how to YouTube video. The only issue I had was that the video stated the crossbar with the notch went to the rear while the directions showed it going to the front. It definitely goes to the front and was pretty obvious when installing it. I didn’t have any real issues with the install and it looks great and hides away nicely leaving a clean flat bed. I look forward to hauling my fifth wheel real soon.

I ordered the curt gooseneck for my 2005 duramax mainly because I want to get me a bigger goose neck trailer to be able to make a camper/ toy hauler combo plus I can haul a dump trailer and campers with out borrowing a truck now . Anywho strainers website has tons of info so I could make the purchase knowing it will be what I needed. The hitch arrived really fast boxes were in great shape, and a week later I finally got the chance to install the directions and how to video made it really simple I didn’t have any issues with the install and it looks great and hides away nice I will be hauling with it really soon

The Hitch came faster than expected It took about 2 hours to install thanks to etrailer's [on-line video]instructions very happy

Install went well. Was shipped the wrong plates with the nuts in them but customer service reacted quickly and got me what the ones I needed.

Easy installation, great video instructions!

I installed this yesterday, along with the Companion 5th Wheel Hitch. Very good instructions, well written, great illustrations. Everything fit perfectly, no struggles with alignment. Very good hardware. Looks to be very sturdily built, the welds looks great. One thing to look out for - on my 2016 Chev 3500 anyway, the exhaust is in the way of drilling the passenger side retractable chain hook holes. You will need an angle drill or drill with a flexible extension cable. Or get your steel rule out and do some serious measuring like I did and drill the holes from the top down. I drilled the accessible driver's side, then transposed those measurements to the passenger side and drilled from the top using a small drill. After hitting the hole, I used progressively larger drills until I found the edge of the 1/2" hole in the center plate, then hogged out the hole the rest of the way with a Dremel grinder. Not a big deal, just had to get a little creative. Over all, excellent experience, from the purchase, the help from customer service (fantastic people!), fast delivery and easy install. Highly recommended!

Just what I needed for my factory installed Ford 5th wheel hitch prep. Has performed well for several 1000 miles pulling my Keystone RV around. More reasonably priced than some others. I would recommend.

The hitch worked out perfectly, The chain pucks are a little small for some chain hooks, there rating is fine but to safety hooks for the rating of the fifth wheel would not fit in the holes, so I was forced to use hooks with the less rating, put 20000 miles on the ball and it was fine.

I recently purchased a 2016 Ram 3500 with 5th wheel tow package already present on truck. I wanted an additional goose neck product and looked at various suppliers online and found etrailer products offered for sale. After to speaking with Heather who answered all my questions as well as reviewed feedback from customers I chose to go with the Reese gooseneck kit. I received the product within the shipping date provided to me and I went out to install it. It took me all of 3 mins to install with no issues. I did my best to remove, shake and couldn't get them to budge. It took me a total of 5 mins to remove the parts and storing them back under the rear seat. The parts fit perfect, look great as well as we're the cheapest price I could find. Their online video is all the install instructions you need! I will definitely use etrailer in the future. Thanks Heather!

Product took less than a minute to install on my 2015 Ram 3500. Would highly recommend this product for those who have the factory 5th wheel and gooseneck prep package from Ram in their truck.

Everything worked out great the only problem is the handle to pull the pin out is not long enough to go outside the wheel well so I had to add three more inches onto it other than that great product thank you very much

I had the truck restored front to back. The box/bed is in the paint shop so putting the hitch on is even easier. Assembly of the hitch looking at the picture from paperwork, extremely easy. Bolting on to the truck frame easy for hitch mounting holes are cut in correct spot for frame holes so no drilling is needed on truck frame. Bolt the side frame of the hitch to truck frame loosely, then put top section already bolted together loosely on to truck frame tighten all bolts down tight and done. Be careful on starting bolts for paint on inside of the threads makes it hard to start. If you have a tap and die set in SAE 1/2 inch National Course this would work good to clean paint off inside of the threads so bolts start easier. Then you have two choices for your hitch being directly above the rear axle or a bit forward toward the cab of the rear axle. The choice being made by the bolt pattern of the hitch frame. Four bolts holes per side only two are needed. Customer purchasing the hitch has to decide on this decision when they put the hitch on. A great heavy duty goose neck hitch made in USA for the price being paid!

The ball did not last long. The trigger for allowing the ball to release takes away from the surface area of the ball. This lead to early wear and premature failure. I have to replace it with a B&W machined ball which is a harder steal and solid surface.

Used the Kurt gooseneck kit,worked great.Easy to install and great caae to put it back in when not in use.

Easy install. Just what I needed to prep our truck for our fifth wheel. Installation videos are very helpful. Thanks etrailer!!

Loved how eazy product installed instructions on hitch was great. Found on etrailer.com a video of how to install hitch. U will have to remove heat shild and exuast pipe to make much easier to in stall. The trailer ball is sweet u just flip up latch and turn then it's free to remove. Ordered hitch on Saturday free shipping and they called me to make sure it was shipping to right location. Then they emailed me when it shiped. It arrived on Tuesday on the same week. The price was great to. Will use hitch to pull 25 ft hay trailer and 24 foot stock trailer.

I’ve had this hitch for about a year, and it’s great! It does exactly as it should. The only complaint is the red grip on the pull handle was basically sun faded and rotted after about 2 months.

Installed easily on 2015 GMC 2500 HD double cab short bed. Plenty of clearance under the bed when ball is flipped. This system makes for a clean useable bed. When I was purchasing this I was concerned about clearance of a gooseneck hitch and my transfer tank. I have a 40 gal tank that sits back from the cab a bit over 20 inches, there’s plenty of clearance for a gooseneck with a fuel tank on this short bed. The hitch has held up perfectly over the last year. I haul around 12k on steep, washboard, gravel roads.

I received it just as I pulled the fifth wheel hitch off. UPS put it on my tall gate I opened it up and installed it in less than 2 minutes. Prefect fit tight no slop. I give this company a 5 AAAAA +++++ rating. Fast shipping. Thanks Bill at etrailer Happy Trails

I have been through a lot in my life time but after talking with Kelly an I placed the order I could not be more pleased with the hitch! It was a perfect fit and can’t thank you enough!!!

Have been driving cross country since purchase. I'm am also using the companion 5th wheel slide with my application. With numerous slides and coupling and uncoupling. Both have performed flaulusly. Cudos to BW.

Extremely easy to order Shipping was fast Would definitely order again from you

This was the second Goose-neck mid bed ball to frame assembly I purchased from etrailer....this was for a V-8 Tundra; the first was for a V-12 dodge 2500; Both were absolutely spot on in terms of Hardware provided; Instructions; and actual holes already in the respective frames to line up to the hitch frame mounting steel; beyond that I got digital brake/level controllers from these guys for the Tundra and it was mint....cannot speak more highly of etrailer to get the stuff you need to haul....its obvious these guys actually get the kit first then see if it fits...on an actual truck...then order and distribute it when it does...10 out of 10 for etrailer

I don't typically leave reviews, but this product earned one. Everything went on exactly how it should with zero issues. The measurement for the hole was perfect. The hardware used was top notch and had no issues torquing to spec. The install was quick, and every step of the way was simple and thought out, and communicated effectively in the instruction pages. VERY impressed with the kit, and how strong everything is. This is going to be a huge help for towing our mules around with the tundra. Big thanks to etrailer for the communication and fast shipping, making sure I could get this installed before mule days!
