It’s identical to the Reese kit. https://www.etrailer.com/Gooseneck/Reese/RP30137.html
The Ball and chain link loops are removable and a cap fits over the holes when the hall is removed to keep the bed flat.
Watch the short video on the etrailer link above. The only difference is that the Ford kit has a different storage case but the ball and chain loops are identical.

You might find this thread interesting (https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...on-a-17-a.html) , good pictures and discussion on the Anderson Ultimate which uses the gooseneck hitch to a Fiver, or there are examples converting a fiver to goose, with the safety chains within. You need both gooseneck prep and fifth wheel prep kits to be able to do the gooseneck towing, as you have the ball inserted in the bed, and two fiver pin points for the safety chains.

the gooseneck kit puts 5 holes in your bed. 1 for the ball, and 4 for safety chain points (of which you use 2, unless you have a 450 and that fancy doodad it comes with)
. so don't order the fiver kit if you don't need a fiver kit..
I don't bother keeping a ton of grease on my ball.. just a light coat.. you get a little grease on you, but not much.. i normally have a rag handy to use for grabbing the ball.

The Fifth Wheel/Gooseneck prep package puts 5 holes in the bed (it isn't two separate options) You put the gooseneck ball in as needed - bed is flat when not needed. Instead of buying the Ford/Reese Goosneck hitch kit (which is the ball)... take a good look at the B&W gooseneck ball for the ford prep kit. Better built IMO.
