Gooseneck Hitches Hitches for Chevy, Dodge, Ford, GMC & Toyota Trucks
Click here for Goosenect Tow Ratings of trucks from 1999 to 2011

The advantage of a gooseneck hitch over a standard fifth wheel hitch is that the ball can either be removed or lowered under the truck bed when not towing, allowing usage of the entire truck bed. Another advantage is the cost. A typical gooseneck along with the mounting rails can be purchased for about 50% the price of a fifth wheel setup. For these reasons more and more fifth wheel trailer owners are opting for the gooseneck hitch setup. The disadvantage is that the trailer hookup is a little more difficult do to the fact the trailer receiver must be lowered directly down upon the ball versus just backing into the trailer receiver.
