Equip your vehicle with this robust hitch to safely tow your gooseneck trailer. The removable ball can be stored upside down in the hitch when not in use, providing complete bed access. The square ball base is designed to stay put in the hitch.
The B&W Turnoverball under-bed gooseneck trailer hitch offers the best of both worlds. It provides a sturdy, reliable connection with your gooseneck trailer for towing, and when not in use, the ball can be stowed upside down in the hitch for full bed access and a clean look.
The durable steel hitch ball included with the Turnoverball system is secured in the hitch with a sturdy, 5/8" thick steel pin integrated into the end of the operating handle. To lock the ball in place, drop it into the hitch hole in your truck bed. Then rotate the handle in your driver's-side wheel well counterclockwise until the latch engages. When the latch is engaged, the spring-loaded pin on the end of the handle will be inserted all the way through the base of the hitch ball, forming a strong, solid connection for secure towing.
When you're done towing, remove the hitch ball by pulling the handle out as far as it will go and then rotating it clockwise until it unlatches. Flip the ball upside down and drop it back into the ball hole of the hitch. Then reengage the latch to secure the stowed ball in place.
The Turnoverball hitch ball is designed with a square base, unlike typical gooseneck balls with round bases. This design makes latching the ball in the hitch easier as the base won't rotate inside of the hitch, making pin alignment a breeze. The base of the ball also fits tightly within the ball hole during storage, preventing any dirt or grime buildup that could cause the ball to seize up in the hitch.
This hitch is custom designed for your vehicle. The included mounting brackets bolt to existing holes in your truck's frame. While some modification is required - you will need to cut a 4" diameter hole in your bed for the hitch ball and drill holes for the built-in safety chain loops - there is no need to weld onto or to drill into your frame.
Once you have the hitch brackets and body installed, set up the operating handle. This handle is designed to be accessed from the rear driver's-side wheel well. On the end of the handle is the heavy-duty steel pin that secures the hitch ball.
B&W makes it easy to tow just about anything. With the many adapters and accessories available, the Turnoverball can be made to work with almost any gooseneck trailer. Hitch balls are available that have a built-in rise, an offset, and even a different connection type. Add on the Companion fifth-wheel hitch - which attaches directly to the Turnoverball with no other parts required - and you can tow your fifth-wheel trailer.

B&W Trailer Hitches is an American manufacturer known for building innovative, dependable towing products designed to make hitching easier and towing more comfortable. The company began in 1987 in Humboldt, Kansas, when founders Roger Baker and Joe Works combined their fabrication experience to build custom truck beds and solve common problems faced by truck owners.
B&W changed the gooseneck hitch industry with the introduction of the Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch. Its under-bed mounting system and reversible hitch ball allowed truck owners to quickly store the ball beneath the bed, leaving a clean and unobstructed surface when the hitch was not in use. B&W later applied the same practical approach to the Companion Fifth Wheel Hitch, creating a removable fifth-wheel hitch engineered for a quiet, smooth, and secure towing experience.
Today, B&W manufactures gooseneck hitches, fifth-wheel hitches, receiver hitches, ball mounts, and towing accessories at its nearly 600,000-square-foot facility. The company is owned by approximately 500 employee-owners who remain committed to American manufacturing, trusted materials, skilled craftsmanship, and long-lasting product quality.
Whether you are towing a work trailer, livestock trailer, camper, or fifth wheel, B&W Trailer Hitches offers thoughtfully engineered towing equipment built to perform mile after mile.

The 1973-1993 Dodge 1500, 2500, & 3500 (Requires Drilling into Frame) B&W Turnoverball One-Piece Kit GNRK1300 (Part #BQVLGNRK1300) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The B&W 1300R (part number 1300-1R1021) is designed for Dodge 1/2–3/4–1 ton trucks manufactured between 1973 and 1993. The hitch is designed to fit vehicles in their original, unmodified condition. If your truck has replacement parts or other modifications, compatibility is not guaranteed. Inspect your vehicle before installation.
Yes, the 1300R can be installed on short-bed trucks, but you must check for adequate turning clearance between the front of all your trailers and the truck cab before installation. The hole location for short-bed trucks is 43 1/2 inches from the back end of the truck bed floor, compared to 48 1/2 inches for long-bed trucks.
The mounting kit (GNRK1300) includes: one center assembly, one 2-5/16 inch ball, two 1/2 inch × 1-1/2 inch carriage bolts, two 1/2 inch × 2-1/2 inch carriage bolts, four 1/2 inch finish nuts, four 1/2 inch lock washers, four 1/2 inch flat washers, two 1/2 inch U-bolts, four conical springs, four 1/2 inch lock nuts, one 5/16 inch × 3/4 inch carriage bolt, one 5/16 inch × 3/4 inch cap screw, and one 5/16 inch flange nut.
Yes. You must raise the driver's side of the truck bed approximately 4 inches by jacking against the truck bed floor in front of the wheel well. Be cautious of fuel filler hoses and electrical wiring when lifting. The bed is then lowered to align the hitch receiver tube through the 4 inch hole in the bed floor.
Loosen but do not remove the passenger's side bed bolts. Remove all remaining bed bolts. Also loosen or remove any running board or other equipment fasteners that would prevent lifting the truck bed off the frame.
You must cut a 4 inch round hole in the truck bed floor. The hole location is measured from the back end (tailgate end) of the truck bed floor: 48 1/2 inches for long-bed trucks or 43 1/2 inches for short-bed trucks. The hole must be centered between the wheel wells. This location is critical to correct installation, so measure, mark, and cut carefully.
You must drill four 9/16 inch holes through the truck bed floor, hitch receiver assembly, and truck frame rails. These holes are located 17 3/4 inches from the center of the round hitch receiver tube on each side, with one hole 3 inches above and one hole 3 inches below a line squared across the truck bed floor through the center of the receiver tube. Additionally, you must drill four 1/2 inch holes for the safety chain brackets.
Yes. Installation requires drilling a 4 inch round hole in the truck bed floor, four 9/16 inch holes through the bed floor and frame rails for the main fasteners, and four 1/2 inch holes for the safety chain brackets. The manual specifies using a 1/4 inch pilot hole before drilling the final hole size.
The latch pin mechanism must be positioned on the driver's side. The hitch receiver assembly is positioned across the top of the frame rails with the receiver tube protruding through the 4 inch hole in the truck bed floor. The hitch must be squared across the frame, and truck bed alignment with the cab must be checked before tightening the bed bolts.
The four 9/16 inch frame mounting bolts must be torqued to 90 ft. lbs. Before final torquing, seat the square bolt shank of each bolt with several sharp hammer blows to the bolt heads.
Drill four 1/2 inch holes through the truck bed floor and hitch receiver assembly. Holes are located 10 1/2 inches each way from the center of the round hitch receiver tube, measured toward the rear of the truck at 1 inch and 3 inches from the center of the receiver socket. These marks should be on 2 inch centers in a low rib of the truck bed floor. Drop a safety chain bracket (U-bolt) through each pair of holes from the topside of the truck bed floor. Place a spring and lock nut on each of the four legs, and tighten the lock nuts until 1/4 inch of threads extends through the lock nut.
Retract the latch pin by pulling the handle all the way out and sliding it to the left. Place the 2-5/16 inch ball in the hitch socket. The manual indicates this is Step Six, but the complete installation procedure is not provided in the available text.
Before installation, carefully examine the location of fuel lines, brake lines, and electrical wires along the frame rails. Be certain you will not damage these components when positioning hitch components, drilling holes, tightening fasteners, and lifting and lowering the truck bed. Pay special attention to the fuel tank vent located on top of the gas tank, which can be easily damaged during installation. Verify adequate clearance when marking hole locations, and examine fuel lines, brake lines, and electrical wiring to assure adequate clearance before drilling.
No. Do not invert the ball in the socket when carrying heavy loads on 2-wheel drive trucks. The ball may hit the top of the differential. Remove the ball from the socket before loading. A plug for the socket is available from B&W.
The manual does not specify a maximum towing capacity for the 1300R hitch. The tow vehicle's towing capacities should under no circumstances be exceeded. Refer to your vehicle's manufacturer specifications for towing limits.
The 1300R hitch was designed to fit vehicles in their original, 'as manufactured' condition. Compatibility with vehicles having replacement parts or other modifications is not guaranteed. You must inspect your vehicle for modifications before installation of this product.
On some truck models, the fuel tank may be elevated so that the hitch will come in contact with the fuel tank. Carefully examine your hitch during and after installation to ensure that no part of the hitch is touching the fuel tank. If contact with the fuel tank is unavoidable, call B&W customer support at 800.248.6564 or 620.473.3664 for further instruction.
Yes, the B&W 1300R is designed for Dodge 1/2–3/4–1 ton trucks from 1973–1993 in original, unmodified condition. Short-bed trucks require a clearance check between trailer and cab before installation.
Yes. You must cut a 4 inch hole in the truck bed floor, drill four 9/16 inch holes through the bed and frame for mounting, and drill four 1/2 inch holes for safety chain brackets.
Yes. Raise the driver's side of the truck bed approximately 4 inches by jacking against the truck bed floor in front of the wheel well, then lower it to align the hitch receiver tube through the 4 inch hole.
The four 9/16 inch frame mounting bolts must be torqued to 90 ft. lbs. after seating the square bolt shank with hammer blows.
Fuel lines, brake lines, electrical wires, and the fuel tank vent are located along the frame rails and can be damaged during installation. Carefully examine their locations before positioning hitch components, drilling, and lifting the bed.
The kit includes carriage bolts (1/2 inch × 1-1/2 inch and 1/2 inch × 2-1/2 inch), finish nuts, lock washers, flat washers, U-bolts, lock nuts, and cap screws. See the mounting kit table for complete quantities.
