Designed to maximize vehicle payload efficiency and towing versatility, this system provides a 30,000 lb Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) rating and a 7,500 lb Vertical Load Rating, allowing you to tow heavy gooseneck trailers while maintaining complete, unobstructed access to your truck bed when not in use. Because the system utilizes a solid 2-5\/16-inch machined hitch ball that flips upside down in the socket, you transition from a heavy-duty towing setup to a completely flat truck bed in seconds without removing hardware or storing bulky components in your cab. \"Designing a half-ton gooseneck system requires balancing frame load distribution with precise fitment,\" explains Chief Mechanical Engineer David Ross. \"B\u0026amp;W solves this by mounting laser-cut steel cross-members directly to existing factory frame holes, eliminating structural stress concentration while preserving 100% of the factory bed utility.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered for brutal winter conditions and heavy-duty off-road strain, the Turnoverball system features cross-members made from high-strength structural steel coated in a durable, salt-resistant powder-coat finish that guards against oxidation, road brine, and corrosion. Installation is clean and non-invasive: the entire mounting kit bolts directly to the vehicle frame without requiring welding or drilling into the frame rails. The only modification to the vehicle bed is a single, precise 4-inch hole cut for the receiver socket, along with small clearance holes for the spring-loaded safety chain anchors. A solid, one-piece machined receiver socket supports the ball, while a spring-loaded, 5\/8-inch steel locking pin passes completely through the hitch ball to guarantee locked security during travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor ultimate ease of use, the hitch features an integrated, flexible latch-pin operating handle accessible directly from the driver’s side rear wheel well. Simply pull and rotate the handle to release the pin, flip the ball stored flush in the bed, and lock it back into position. Whether hauling livestock, equipment, or heavy recreational trailers, this American-made hitch system combines maximum towing strength with uncompromised daily truck utility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification Feature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTechnical Detail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Line\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eB\u0026amp;W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer Part Number (MPN)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGNRK1104\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGross Trailer Weight Rating (GTW)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30,000 lbs (Limited by Vehicle Manufacturer Tow Rating)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVertical Tow \/ Tongue Load Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7,500 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHitch Ball Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2-5\/16 in.
