What Is A Gooseneck Hitch?

Although the gooseneck hook looks similar to a traditional hook, it uses a unique mechanism: the ball built into the gooseneck carriage is closely connected to the circular groove receiver on the tongue of the gooseneck. The LUEN gooseneck ball design is larger and specially made for inserting into the reserved hole in the car. The trailer tongue is shaped like a straight pipe hanging from the front end of the trailer. During operation, after the LUEN gooseneck truck reverses and approaches, it slowly lowers to cover the ball and locks.

To ensure safety, as with all LUEN trailer configurations, additional safety chains and trailer wiring must be connected. The gooseneck hitch has significant advantages: excellent towing capacity and can carry over 30,000 pounds, which is at least 3,000 pounds more than the top fifth wheel trailer hitch; compact structure, occupying very little space in the cabin; easy installation and removal processes, and The overall construction is relatively light.

However, it is worth noting that if your truck does not come with a gooseneck hitch system pre installed from the factory, you will need to make necessary modifications to the truck bed, such as drilling holes, to accommodate the use of this advanced hitch. If you purchased the truck from LUEN, you can contact us to check the specific situation.
