Truck has factory option gooseneck fitted. It has no markings on it, not stamped in anyway and I'm not convinced it is factory fit. Truck has clearly never towed in its life as the paint in the bed was as new as the paint on the truck.
Frame rail plate is a threaded hole that is 1 1/2" shank, fine thread as I can run a standard ball in there. Runs all the way in and through the plate about 1/4". Is that good enough to tow with? Anywhere I can get hold of a factory fit thread in ball?
Or for peace of mind would you just have someone rip it out and fit a turnover and 5th wheel on top?

Pretty sure factory GN wasn't an option till the 2011+ trucks cam out. I know the factory ones aren't a thread in design either. I like my turn over.
