B&W Hitches 2-5/16" Gooseneck Ball OEM Replacement Part B&W GNXA2000 -- Turnoverball Gooseneck Replacement Ball

When your B&W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch ball is worn, damaged, or corroded, you should not have to buy a whole new hitch. The GNXA2000 is the genuine OEM replacement ball designed specifically for B&W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch systems. Drop it in, torque it down, and get back to towing -- full capacity, factory fit, no adapters needed.

The Right Ball for Your B&W Turnoverball System

The B&W Turnoverball is one of the most popular under-bed gooseneck hitch systems in the truck market, known for its flush-mount design that disappears when not in use. Over years of heavy towing, the ball itself can wear or sustain impact damage. The GNXA2000 is B&W's direct replacement ball, machined and forged to the same specification as the original component your hitch shipped with.

This is not an aftermarket substitute -- it is the genuine B&W part, correct for Turnoverball applications that use the standard 2-5/16 inch ball diameter. At 9 pounds of forged steel and compact dimensions of 9.75 x 4.5 x 3.5 inches, this ball is built to the same heavy-duty standard as the rest of the Turnoverball system.

Genuine OEM Part

Factory-spec replacement from B&W Hitches -- the same manufacturer that built your Turnoverball hitch. No fitment guesswork.

Forged Steel Construction

Heavy forged steel at 9.0 lbs delivers the strength and wear resistance required for repeated gooseneck towing cycles.

2-5/16" Ball Diameter

Standard gooseneck ball size compatible with the vast majority of fifth-wheel-to-gooseneck adapters and gooseneck-equipped trailers.

Direct Drop-In Replacement

Designed to install directly into existing Turnoverball hitch receivers -- no modification, no drilling, no new hardware kit required.

Turnoverball Series Compatibility

The B&W Turnoverball system is sold in truck-specific configurations for a wide range of full-size pickups from Ford, GM, Ram, Nissan, and Toyota. The GNXA2000 replacement ball is the shared ball component across the Turnoverball lineup. If your Turnoverball hitch originally came with a 2-5/16 inch ball (which covers the overwhelming majority of Turnoverball applications), the GNXA2000 is your correct replacement.

Common Turnoverball hitch models this ball services include units sold under part numbers in the GNRK and GNXA series. If you are unsure whether your specific hitch uses this ball, the ball diameter stamped or labeled on your existing ball is the easiest confirmation -- 2-5/16 inch means GNXA2000.

Restore Full Towing Capacity: A worn or pitted gooseneck ball can reduce effective towing capacity and create coupler slop that leads to trailer sway. Replacing a damaged ball with a genuine OEM part restores the tight coupler-to-ball fit B&W engineered into the system.

Gooseneck vs. Fifth-Wheel Towing

Gooseneck towing connects the trailer's coupler directly over the truck's rear axle using a ball-and-socket connection in the truck bed. This provides excellent weight distribution and a tight turning radius compared to bumper-pull setups. The 2-5/16 inch ball on the GNXA2000 is the industry-standard gooseneck diameter -- larger and stronger than the 1-7/8 or 2 inch balls used for bumper-pull trailers.

If you are towing a fifth-wheel trailer with a gooseneck adapter (such as a Reese or PW Industries fifth-wheel-to-gooseneck coupler), the 2-5/16 inch ball on the GNXA2000 is the correct interface point for those adapters as well.

Installation Note: The GNXA2000 ball threads into the Turnoverball hitch receiver in the truck bed. Always torque the ball to B&W's specified torque value for your hitch model and verify the locking mechanism is fully engaged before towing. A torque wrench -- not just a breaker bar -- is the right tool for this job.
Maintenance Tip: Inspect your gooseneck ball before every tow season and after any hard use. Look for pitting, grooves, flat spots, or cracks around the shank. A damaged ball should be replaced immediately -- surface wear directly affects coupler retention under load.

Why Buy the Genuine B&W Ball

Generic replacement gooseneck balls exist in the market, but they vary in shank diameter, thread pitch, and ball height -- any of which can cause a loose fit in a B&W Turnoverball receiver or place the ball at the wrong height for your trailer coupler. The GNXA2000 is manufactured by B&W to match the exact shank dimensions, thread spec, and ball height of the original component, so your coupler height and locking engagement remain exactly as designed.

Related B&W Components: If you are doing a full hitch refresh, B&W also offers replacement Turnoverball hitch platforms and installation kits for specific truck models. The GNXA2000 ball pairs with the complete Turnoverball system for trucks where the platform itself remains in good condition.

Important Information -- Read Before Installing
  • Verify your existing Turnoverball ball is 2-5/16 inch diameter before ordering -- this is the only ball size the GNXA2000 replaces.
  • Never tow with a cracked, deeply pitted, or deformed gooseneck ball -- replace it before hitching a trailer.
  • Always use a calibrated torque wrench to tighten the replacement ball to B&W's specified torque for your hitch model. Under-torqued balls can rotate or loosen under towing loads.
  • Confirm the locking mechanism on your Turnoverball hitch platform is fully engaged and functional after installing the new ball.
  • This is a replacement ball only -- it does not include the hitch platform, mounting hardware, or any other components of the Turnoverball system.
  • Do not exceed the gross trailer weight (GTW) and tongue weight (TW) ratings of your specific Turnoverball hitch model -- the ball alone does not define the system capacity.
