B&W Turnoverball / Ford Super Duty Center Kit
B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch Center Section
Manufacturer Part # GNRC816
The B&W GNRC816 is the center-section component package for the B&W Turnoverball under-bed gooseneck hitch system designed for select 2017–2022 Ford Super Duty pickup trucks.
Designed to integrate with the vehicle-specific GNRM1117 mounting kit, this assembly provides the Turnoverball receiver, removable 2-5/16-inch hitch ball, and associated center-section components. The reversible ball design allows the hitch ball to be stored below the truck bed surface when not towing.
This listing includes the GNRC816 center-section package only. The vehicle-specific GNRM1117 mounting kit is sold separately. Both components are required for a complete GNRK1116 Turnoverball hitch installation.
Ford-specific mounting brackets, crossmembers, and installation hardware for the GNRK1116 system.
