B&W Trailer Hitches Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch - GNRK1012 - Compatible with 2011-2015 Chevrolet/GMC 2500 & 3500 Trucks

Great quality product. Installed with the help of a couple buddies and a 4 post lift in about 3 hours. Very straightforward, good instructions. Everything fit as it should. Very happy with the B&W kit!

Great product. Great instruction video. One thing you might keep in mind is tightening the 3/4” bolts that fasten the side plated to the chassis. The chassis is a box beam and the bolts have to be “fished” into position blindly which is clearly shown best in the video. This actually wasn’t very difficult if you have help. The tough part is getting the specified torque, 150 ft lbs, without the bolts have to turning. The tool provided with the assembly didn’t prevent the bolt from turning. You may have to cut an access hole on the inside of the box beam in order to hold the bolt with a socket and torque the nut as prescribed. Again, this works best with a helper.

This is an awesome product. Works exceptionally well and came with all the hardware required. The directions are clear and concise. I would recommend taking the bed off the truck if you can help it so you’re not working from underneath. I did not have to trim as much of the bed as the directions claim but that’s no inconvenience to me. This product can absolutely be installed by anyone PROVIDED you follow the directions well and use the proper tools!!! I am no mechanic by any means but I installed this gooseneck plate and assembled the matching companion 5th wheel plate in less than 9 hours.

Easy to install, great fit, love the fiip ball. Went from a standard goose set up with rails not sure I could ever go back after using this system. Was able to install without taking it to a shop or dealer. It does help I had access to a lift and a handy man.

Pros: Excellent build quality and durability • Most users and sellers rate it very highly — sturdy materials, powder-coated finish, limited lifetime warranty. • Once installed it performs reliably under heavy loads (including repeat use with big trailers). mygrandrv.com Great “flat bed when not towing” convenience • The turnover design is popular because it gives you a level bed when you aren’t towing, preferable to fixed balls or slider styles. Easy to use once installed • Pull or flip the ball into position in just minutes — a real convenience for occasional and frequent haulers alike. No major truck modification required • Beyond the hole in the bed, it’s bolt-on to factory or included frame brackets. Good ratings overall Cons & Things to Watch For Rust or sticking issues in harsh climates • In areas with lots of road salt or moisture, the ball and locking pin can corrode or get hard to remove unless cleaned and lightly greased occasionally. Bed prep and install time • While it’s bolt-on, cutting the hole and routing parts up underneath can be time-intensive. Plan a good half-to-full day for DIY install, depending on tools and experience. Security of the ball • The ball itself can be stolen if left in the hitch, so using a good hitch lock is highly recommended. Wheel-well access for the handle • You use a handle accessible inside the wheel well to release/turn the ball. This is easier or harder depending on truck setup and space. Maintenance • A light coating of grease on the ball and pin periodically helps prevent rust and sticking. • Store the ball upside down when not towing or remove it entirely. Summary why it’s great: Very solid performer under heavy loads Converts truck bed to usable space quickly Durable build with lifetime warranty Mostly bolt-on install Common downsides: Requires cutting a hole in bed Can rust/stick without maintenance Ball security is a concern without locks. Recommendation If you tow gooseneck trailers often or want a versatile hitch that doesn’t clutter your bed, the B&W Turnoverball is widely regarded as one of the best options available for your Silverado 2500. Its reputation for quality and convenience outweighs the relatively minor maintenance and install considerations.

Easy install love this set up

Quality is awesome, and man these things are heavy duty! Only downfall is my AirRide airbags U-Bolts are perfectly sized for the truck frame and these add about an inch in height to the frame. They have a cut out where the front U-Bolt goes, but it should have been flush with the frame height. I used the plasma cutter and made a spot for them to slide into.

Fit well. Easy install
