eBay Motors: B&W Turnover Ball Gooseneck Hitch 99-08 Ford Super Duty (item 140222636906 end time Apr-17-08 07:55:36 PDT)


If you really want to save try what my buddy did, we built a heavy duty GN plate out of scrap metal we found behind the welding shop at work. It goes frame to frame just like the B&W and bolted it into his truck, cost him $20 for a ball and he is done. He can’t turn his ball over though.

The B&W would be nice but if you want to pull a 5th wheel it starts to add up pretty high when you add the adapter for like $500 more. I personally chose to convert my camper to GN although I already have a 5th wheel hitch just because I don’t trust or like the 5th wheel system. All I ever use anymore is the GN ball.

If it were me starting with a fresh truck I’d get the turn over ball hitch and a good Prodigy P-3 brake controller. For around $350 total from ebay.
