What Information Do I Need to Know

What are the different types of Goosenecks?

There are three main components in a Gooseneck Hitch. The ball, the plate (if applicable) and the rails.

The ball is what attaches to the coupler on the Gooseneck Trailer.

The plate, used on the Fold Down and the Remov-A-Ball Gooseneck is what sits in the bed and has the ball protruding upwards to attach to the Gooseneck Trailer.

The rails attach the Gooseneck Hitch to the pickup bed, either above the bed or under the bed. They are vehicle specific and must be ordered for the correct vehicle.
