What kind of goose neck hitch?

I'm new to this and would like to get some opinions on what kind of goose neck hitch I should put on my truck. I have looked at B&W Turnover, and Draw Tite's version of the turnover. Are there any other's that I should consider and why? Or are there any advantages, disadvantages to these two hitches that would make one better? I would like to be able to get the ball out of the way when not in use. Any help would be appreciated. Thank-you!

IF you want to remove the ball and not have it in the way I would go with the B&W. It is an awesome hitch and is very durable.

Flip-Over hitch

I looked at several and liked the Flip-Over better than B&W.



More pictures on website.

I have a Curtis fold over ball hitch....I really like it and the warranty is great....my ball had loosened up after 2 years of use so I called them thinking I could get repair parts.....they sent me a new complete hitch minus the frame rails free

I have the Draw Tite 30K hitch with the removable ball, have had it not quite a year and like it quite well so far.

Seems like a good setup. The ball removes easily from inside the bed and leaves the floor nice and flat.
