Trailer, Fifth-Wheel, and Gooseneck Hitches
Tow with a setup selected for your vehicle, trailer, and intended use. Bruce's Truck & Auto Accessories sells and professionally installs trailer hitches, hitch balls, ball mounts, fifth-wheel hitches, gooseneck systems, and related towing products from CURT, B&W, and other approved manufacturers in Mattawan, MI.
Hitch Solutions for Trailers, Campers, Equipment, and Work
A hitch is not a one-size-fits-all accessory. Vehicle year, make, model, trim, drivetrain, factory equipment, bed length, trailer type, loaded weight, coupler height, and frequency of use can all affect the recommendation.
Bruce's helps customers compare the major hitch categories and choose compatible components as a system. The goal is not simply to sell a receiver or hitch head. It is to help you understand what fits, what each component does, and what limits apply before installation.
Hitch Balls Matched to the Trailer Coupler
A hitch is not a one-size-fits-all accessory. Vehicle year, make, model, trim, drivetrain, factory equipment, bed length, trailer type, loaded weight, coupler height, and frequency of use can all affect the recommendation.

Fixed, Adjustable, and Multi-Ball Mount Options
A ball mount connects the trailer ball to the receiver hitch. The correct rise or drop helps position a trailer closer to level, which supports better towing geometry and more predictable handling.
Fixed Ball Mounts
A fixed ball mount can be a straightforward choice when one tow vehicle is paired with a trailer that uses a consistent coupler height.
Adjustable Ball Mounts
Adjustable models provide multiple height positions and can be useful when towing trailers with different coupler heights or when the truck's stance changes.
Multi-Ball and Stowable Options
Multi-ball designs can make it easier to switch between compatible trailer coupler sizes. Premium B&W Tow & Stow options combine height adjustment, multiple ball choices on select models, and a design that stores under the vehicle when it is not in use.
Product configuration, receiver size, ball combination, and capacity vary by model. Bruce's will match the mount to the hitch, trailer, and vehicle rather than relying on appearance alone.
Gooseneck Hitch Systems From B&W & CURT
A gooseneck hitch places the tow ball in the truck bed above or near the rear axle and connects to a compatible gooseneck trailer coupler. These systems are often used for equipment, livestock, flatbed, and work trailers designed for gooseneck towing.
Bruce's focuses its gooseneck offering on B&W and CURT products. The team will review the truck's fitment, bed configuration, factory equipment, and intended trailer before preparing a recommendation.
Fifth-Wheel Hitches From B&W & CURT
Fifth-wheel hitches mount in the pickup bed and connect to a compatible trailer kingpin. They are commonly used for recreational vehicles, campers, and other larger trailers that are designed for fifth-wheel towing.
Bruce's carries fifth-wheel solutions from CURT and B&W, including options for traditional mounting systems and compatible factory puck systems. Availability depends on the truck, bed length, factory preparation, trailer configuration, and intended use.
Fifth-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapters
These adapters allow a compatible fifth-wheel trailer to connect to a gooseneck ball instead of a traditional in-bed fifth-wheel hitch.
Single-Point Mounted
Single-point hitches attach through one under-bed mounting point, such as the B&W Turnoverball system, and can be removed to restore useful truck-bed space.
Factory Puck-Mounted
Puck-mounted hitches lock into a compatible factory-installed towing-prep system for a clean, vehicle-specific connection without permanent above-bed rails.
Rail-Mounted
Rail-mounted hitches attach to industry-standard rails installed in the truck bed and are available in fixed or sliding configurations for many towing setups.
How Bruce's Builds a Hitch Recommendation
What to Bring or Include With Your Hitch Request
01
Vehicle Information
Provide the year, make, model, trim, cab configuration, bed length, drivetrain, and vehicle identification number when requested. Also identify any factory tow package, puck system, or aftermarket equipment that may affect installation.
02
Trailer Information
Share the trailer type, coupler or connection style, loaded trailer weight when known, tongue or pin weight when known, coupler height, and the number of trailers you expect to tow.
03
How You Plan to Use It
Tell Bruce's whether the setup is for occasional recreation, frequent travel, daily work, farm use, or multiple trailers. Usage can influence product style, adjustability, bed access, and convenience features.
Every Towing System Has Limits
Weight distribution, sway control, brake controllers, trailer brakes, safety chains, wiring, and other equipment may be required depending on the vehicle, trailer, load, and applicable law. Bruce's can help with product selection, but the vehicle and trailer manufacturers' instructions control safe operation.
Hitch Products Sold and Installed by Bruce's
Bruce's professionally installs applicable hitch products purchased through the store. The team does not install hitches, wiring, or towing products supplied by the customer or purchased from another seller.
Installation scope varies by vehicle and product. Some applications may require additional compatible components, preparation, wiring, or manufacturer-specified steps. Bruce's will explain the quoted scope before work is scheduled.
