A gooseneck hitch is designed for use in a pickup truck and is similar in concept to a fifth wheel hitch. The difference between the two is that the gooseneck uses a ball and coupler versus a kingpin and fifth wheel hitch. Typically, the trailers that are most commonly used with gooseneck hitches are horse and livestock trailers. Gooseneck hitches are offered in several configurations and All offer the same benefits when towing - increased towing capacity and the ability to utilize the full suspension of the truck. They are designed to be mounted above or below the pickup bed. Either design allows for minimal obstruction, when the ball is not in the towing position, which permits full use of the pick-up bed. The under-bed gooseneck hitch is designed to mount under the truck bed, needing only a 3-1/2 inch hole in the truck bed for installation and operation with a gooseneck trailer. The ball is stored upside down in the hitch when not used, with a magnetic cover to keep dirt and debris out. A Fold-Down or Remove-A-Ball gooseneck hitch mounts on top of an under-bed rail system. The ball is either removed or folded down for full bed use when not required. These units offer additional convenience and save time. Draw-Tite is the premier brand of custom trailer hitches.
