The Gooseneck Hitch – What You Need To Know

The venerable Gooseneck hitch has been around for awhile, and you’ve probably seen one if you’ve seen a horse trailer. The gooseneck hitch is a fairly good description of the way the trailer hitch looks. The Gooseneck design takes advantage of the pickup truck’s bed combined with trailers designed to be towed by a pickup: The overhanging part of these trailers can now be hooked to a hitch in the pickup truck bed.. Considered Class V and above trailer hitches, the goosenecks have the ability to haul up to thirty thousand pounds. (Class I & II hitches are good for thirty-five hundred pounds of trailer weight, Class III & IV can pull 10,000 pounds – which are usually weight-distributing hitches. ) Conventional trailer hitches that are attached to a trucks bumper or rear frame always use a hitch ball system.
