Gooseneck Trailers

Goosenecks are called this because of their shape. With the accompanying hitch installed in the bed of a pickup truck, the connection to the trailer extends from the bed over the back. While they look similar to a fifth wheel hitch, goosenecks are structured a little differently. The ball hitch that slides the gooseneck into place is their defining feature.

A huge advantage offered by this type of trailer is its superior stability. Thanks to the overlap created by the neck curving over the back of the towing vehicle, you can better control your truck as you drive, although you’ll likely need some practice before you hit the road. This particular hitch style also increases the amount of weight that can be carried. Experienced drivers with bigger loads to haul are the most likely users of this particular style.
