Overview
This Reese Elite Pop-In Ball Kit is an under-bed gooseneck accessory kit for compatible Ford and Nissan trucks equipped with the correct factory-installed OE rail system or compatible aftermarket Reese rails. The pop-in ball design uses a lever inside the ball head to activate the ball-bearing locking system. To remove the ball, lift and turn the lever to unlock it from the receiver.
This listing is for the removable towing accessories only. It is not a complete under-bed hitch installation kit and does not include the truck-side under-bed structure, rails, frame brackets, mounting hardware, trailer coupler, or safety chains.

R&P Repair Insight
Before installing a removable gooseneck ball, inspect the receiver socket and safety chain attachment pockets. Packed dirt, corrosion, or damaged locking surfaces can prevent the ball or chain anchors from seating correctly.
- Check the Ball Socket: Clean the gooseneck receiver sleeve before inserting the pop-in ball.
- Confirm Locking Action: The ball should seat fully and lock securely before towing.
- Respect the Lowest Rating: Do not exceed the lowest-rated component in the truck, hitch, ball, coupler, trailer, or safety chain system.
