Goose Neck trailer hitch "extender"

Rsmith38 · 06-26-2011, 08:00 PM

They make a 12" and a 16" extender - we had a 2007 dodge maxicab and short bed and when we picked up the trailer the dealer (Millenium) said - you need this extender or you will hit on tight turns. Any of the trailer dealers should have/or can get the extenders.

A buddy of mine took out the back of his Dodge with his GN trailer. Uses one of these, now..

larry--generally speaking they are going to give you either 9 or 16 inches of extension ---ya need to go look at a website for instance this one for some pix ------------mrtruck.net---they show several different models so ya can see what they are talking about---an extender is gonna run ya about $250-$1000 depending on what ya get( 5th wheel/gooseneck) whose it is and how much weight your gonna be hauling---they definately do work just hafta get the right setup for your situation--comp

by the way that one Adger is talking about only moves the trailer back FOUR inches hardly worth the bother

Check out [ Pop up gooseneck extenders ] on the web, also B&W Make a set back with the ball itself,
I also ran into this with my gooseneck trailer too, GMC truck with sleeper cab. Hope this info. can help you.
