When your B&W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch ball is removed, that open socket in your truck bed is an invitation for dirt, road grime, standing water, and debris. The GNXA1715 rubber cover snaps in to seal the socket flush with your truck bed floor -- keeping your hitch clean, corrosion-free, and ready for the next haul. A small part that protects a big investment.
The B&W Turnoverball is one of the most popular gooseneck hitch systems on the market, and for good reason -- the ball folds down flush with the truck bed when not in use. But even with the ball retracted, the open socket cavity is exposed to everything the road throws at it: mud, water, hay chaff, sawdust, and more. Over time, that contamination can lead to rust, binding, and a ball that no longer retracts smoothly.
The GNXA1715 is the correct OEM-style rubber cover designed specifically by B&W to seal the Turnoverball socket when the hitch ball assembly is completely removed from the truck. It is not the same as the folded-ball cover -- this cover is intended for situations where the entire ball-and-retainer assembly has been pulled out, leaving a fully open socket hole in the truck bed.
Engineered specifically for B&W Turnoverball gooseneck sockets. No adapter or trimming needed for correct B&W installations.
Flexible rubber material withstands temperature swings, UV exposure, and the wet-dry cycles common in truck beds and farm applications.
Sits flush with the truck bed surface so loads, mats, and cargo slide over it without catching or lifting the cover out of place.
At just 0.25 lbs, toss a spare in the toolbox or glovebox. Swap it in or out in seconds -- no tools required.
B&W's Turnoverball gooseneck hitch is a permanently installed, under-bed hitch system used for towing gooseneck trailers -- livestock trailers, flatbeds, equipment haulers, and large fifth-wheel-to-gooseneck adapter setups. The defining feature is a hitch ball that can be flipped down below the bed surface when not in use, leaving the truck bed flat and usable.
In some working-truck applications, the entire ball assembly is pulled out entirely for extended periods -- for example, when a truck is used exclusively for hauling cargo and the socket needs to be sealed against moisture and debris for weeks or months at a time. That is exactly the use case the GNXA1715 cover addresses.
The GNXA1715 cover is designed for B&W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch systems with a standard open-socket configuration when the ball assembly is removed. Compatible hitch models in the B&W Turnoverball family include:
If you are unsure whether your specific Turnoverball model uses the same socket opening as the GNXA1715 is designed for, compare your existing socket diameter to the cover dimensions listed in the spec table. The cover measures 7.0 inches long x 5.0 inches wide x 1.25 inches in installed height.
No tools are required. With the ball assembly removed from the socket, simply press the rubber cover into the open socket opening. The flexible rubber lip seats against the socket edges and holds the cover in place under normal truck-bed use. To remove, grip the cover and pull it free.
