Default RE: goose neck hitch

I don't want to buy the cheap hitch, I am just trying to find outwhere they mount cause my truck only has one hole in the frame back there, I don't want to drill any holes, I think Dodge frowns upon that, B+W claims they need NO drilling, thats why I am wondering if they clamp and bolt using the one holeor what, does anybody have one mounted in thier 07, the earlier trucks have multiple stockholes in the frame

I have the b&w turnover also and can't say anything but good about it. I think it is built pretty tuff and I like the fact that I have a flat bed when not in use. I have a short bed and it does put the trailer a bit close but you would have to turn pretty sharp or be on like a super angle to come close to hitting the back of the cab. I would spend the cash and get the b&w.

The B&W Turnover ball is the way to go. Yes, there is no drilling, there is a large bracket that bolts to the frame to hold everything in place. I was told since the frame is hydro-formed, drilling holes will cause cracking and weaken it.

dodge just released a new part number for a gooseneck hitch for 2500 and 3500 trucks.
82211326 is the number for the hitch, 82211327 for the mount kit. $198.00 x 2 for a total of 396.00
it is a no drill kit, and the ball is removable for a flat no obstruction floor.

Only having one hole in the fram by the wheel well doesn't mean its the only one to bolt to. The B&Ws come with some pretty good size brackets that extended well foward and behind of the wheel well and can get at other holes.

Anyone know of a B&W dealer in the Dallas, TX area? You do not have to remove the bed to install this do you? Also how much are they I had some guy quote me $450 and then I have to install the thing.
