B&W Trailer Hitches Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch - GNRK1111 - Compatible with 2011-2016 Ford F250 & F350 Trucks

This thing is great, not too hard to install either.

Could not be happier! American made, precision fitment on my 2016 F350. There is a youtube video from B&W that helps with the install - search for "B&W turnover ball 1111". The paper instructions are OK, but the video is well made and a big help. The instructions don't require that you remove the rear wheels, but it helps when it comes time to torque the bolts. I have a set of Husky wheel well liners. If you have these, you'll want to remove them first. In order to re-install them you'll need to shorten the latch pin handle about 3-4 inches. Then, when you reinstall the Husky liners the turnover ball framework is completely hidden. You'll just have to reach behind the driver's side liner to operate the latch pin. I'm happy with this product.

This took some time to install on my 2015 F250 but it was so worth it. I did this solo on my concrete shop pad after watching a few of the E Trailer YouTube videos on how to do it. To install the bed plate alone you can use a sturdy board and a ratchet strap (photo uploaded) to hold it in place while you put the bolts in. I hoped I could install this without cutting the notch into the bed frame but you do have to do it to slide the rails into place. One other thing that will help is if you take your rear tires off and set your truck on jack stands. Doing that will give you plenty of room to work. I didn’t because I was on a time crunch to get this done but I would highly recommend doing this if you’ve got time. Other than that, you need a rubber dead-blow hammer to knock the parts into place, a powerful drill with a 4” hole saw, I recommend using a step bit for the safety chain anchor holes, a file to de-burr the holes and hand tools such as ratchets, wrenches and a pair of large pliers to twist the rails into place. Having the ability to use a gooseneck trailer has been such a game changer! Since my truck isn’t a dually trailers used to make me feel like I was driving a sailboat on the road, but now I can tow way more capacity and it’s such a smoother ride.

This is a great product. The install was as described in the documentation but it helped to watch the YouTube video a couple of times before tackling the install. If changing the oil or spark plugs is beyond your skills have a Pro do it for you. The only thing I had problems with was getting the bolts torqued down in some places. But I took the truck to my mechanic and asked him to torque down the bolts for me when he changed my tires, which he did. It pays to have an independent mechanic that works on your truck especially if you are doing things like this.

Only complaint was the fact that I had to cut a notch in the bed seam, and temporarily remove the tail pipe to install. But I typically pull 10-15k and it’s holding up super well

This was a bear to install. Watch the video on the B&W site, that's helps a lot. If installing on a new truck, probably would not be too bad, but on a used truck where the bed has been used makes the spacing between the frame and bed floor really tight. Torquing everything was a bit of a challenge as well, but take your time, it's not rocket science just tedious. Overall, B&W makes a quality product that I've used for years on trucks, but this is my 1st install.

Was fairly easy to install. It would be easier if you have a lift. I didn’t remove my wheels like a YouTube video shows. The best way to install the center piece where the ball goes, after installing the 2 cross pieces take ratchet strap and hook on the bar inside the hole where the ball fits and lay a 2x4 across the bed and hook the ratchet strap to the board and pull the center part up into the hole in the bed until it bottoms out. It makes it easier when you’re trying to put the bolts into the cross pieces.

Like always fits perfect

Excellent fit. Self install
