- Offset adjustment holes accommodate outer tubes with pins in different positions
- Offset design offers extra clearance between truck cab and trailer
- Make tight turns, even with your short bed truck
- Heavy wall tubing and internal gussets ensure strength

With the Extend-A-Goose from B&W you can finally get the clearance you need to tow your gooseneck trailer with your short bed truck. This sturdy steel coupler provides 10" of offset so that you can complete turns even with relatively tight tolerances between your trailer and truck cab.
The easy-to-grip, spring-loaded handle not only makes it simple to properly latch the coupler around the ball, but it also allows you to lock down the coupler for security. Just use a standard padlock (sold separately) to secure the handle in the latched position, and no one will be able to uncouple your trailer from the hitch ball.

I ordered this gooseneck coupler and it arrived in 3 days as promised. It's heavy so I took it to a friend to install it. Took maybe 15 min and I can actually turn my truck and trailer without worrys about blowing out the window like I did the week before. So happy I found these guys, super easy to work with. I would recommend this product to everyone with a short bed truck.
by: Cynthia06/09/2020
The extended coupler does EXACTLY what I needed - gave me extra turning room for my 8' wide horse trailer. (I've already knocked the back window out once - but no more)!!
Gives me peace of mind that I can travel and camp without a turning restriction.

Still does EXACTLY what I needed it for and has allowed me to make close turns easily. Highly recommend the extended coupler.
by: Hunter05/08/2020
I was terrified at every turn of smashing my truck. This extend-a-goose is the answer! Make sure you measure the clearance of your gooseneck support to the bed rails to make sure that extending it the 11 inches doesn’t cause that angled part to impact your truck. The build quality is fantastic, however!! I’m not impressed with the “paint” down around the coupler...after only having it for a month or so I’m seeing rust stains (I will likely cover with a trash bag so it is not out in the elements since it protrudes last the gooseneck overhang. Bottom line, of you want a shortbed and a gooseneck this is a must!!! I no longer worry about crushing my truck and I can swing to about 80 deg off my trailer without worry (before it was maybe 50 degrees) And as always, shout out to etrailer for being a great parts supplier!!!
by: Lynn12/18/2023
Does not fit all trailers! This isn't the fault of etrailers but it was an expensive lesson for me and now I'm stuck with an expensive doorstop that I can't use. The product information should be very clear that this is not compatible with all trailers.
by: Brad 01/10/2024
Works great. We tow this trailer 3-5 times a week. There’s no signs of wear. Trailer is typically around 10,000 lbs. Moved the trailer back a few inches. Now trailer has no chance of hitting back glass or cab of truck. Bought this after one of my employees popped the back glass on one of my trucks. Now I don’t have to worry about it happening again.
by: Mike 02/13/2024
This prevented the trailer from contacting the cab corner on a Ford 4-door super duty.
by: Art 10/20/2023
This hitch was easy to install on a Featherlite 4 horse trailer. It has worked well and serves it's purpose to move the trailer back from the cab of the 1 ton shortbed ford we pull with. It's swell made and the latch is simple and can be locked when unhooked. It has pulled about 60k miles so far.
by: Sam02/09/2024
Perfect fit! I can now pull my gooseneck without worry/issue with my short bed 2500! Been using it for a year now and it’s holding up great! Highly recommend!
by: Larry08/30/2023
I could not use the hitch because my stock height on my 01 Dodge 3500 4x4 was too high. If I drop the hitch in the trailer tube to the height that I need to safely clear my bed it is considered too much to safely tow. Unfortunately it was going to cost over $100.00 to send it back. It just sits brand new in a box in my barn. Most trucks sit too high to use this hitch.

Heavy duty, been working fine
by: Keith07/27/2023
Outstanding! I bought this hitch one year ago and installed it on my trailer. This hitch makes hooking up to my truck super easy and allows a much larger turning radius. There is never a worry about damaging my tailgate on my truck. Trailer companies ought to have these hitches as a "standard" issue. Thanks to the person or persons that invented this devise!
by: Karen02/19/2021
We have 2 of these because we have a short bed F350. Has saved us from damaging the truck bed and we don't have to worry about crunching our 4 door either.
by: Robin 09/19/2023
I bought this extender to give me better clearance between the trailer and tailgate/bumper of my truck . It worked out great ! Have me all the clearance I needed
by: Mark S.02/24/2017
I live in the Flint Hills of Northeast Kansas and we started using a Bar Six Cake feeder on our pickup to take care of cattle on winter pasture. I couldn't pull my trailer without crunching the cake box. I saw an extend-a-goose on another truck with a similar set-up and I thought this might be the answer. I charted out my problem on paper and figured out the trigonometry that I could increase my turning radius by 18 degrees with the 10" drop in the hitch.
I went ahead and ordered the item and installed it the day it came, which incidentally is always very quick with E-Trailer products. It worked like a charm. We still have to be careful with the trailer, but the extender helps me do my job more efficiently.
by: Sheri 06/22/2023
I had to get a shorter bed truck than my old one, and I have a big flat nosed gooseneck trailer that I was afraid I would put the back windows out with. The hitch was heavy but easy to install and I think it is exactly what I needed.
by: John W.08/30/2017
The coupler is good quality and easy to install. It applies the down force from the trailer at the design point, so there is no compromise in trailer handling qualities for the truck. My truck is a 2016 Ford F-150 crew cab with a short bed, which has limited clearance for the gooseneck. My trailer is a two horse Sundowner gooseneck, which has a V-nose. With the extender, I can make the tightest possible turn moving forward with good clearance between the cab and trailer. Backing up, there is plenty of clearance provided that I do not jackknife the trailer. I estimated that contact would occur with an 82 degree angle between the trailer and truck. That means there is clearance for any maneuver you want to actually make, but of course if you jackknife the trailer too much it would be possible to damage the truck. This is an excellent solution for a v-nose trailer with the F150 crew cab. I would not recommend it for a flat nose trailer. I formerly had a standard bed F150 that I pulled this trailer with. There is no noticeable difference in pulling with the short bed and extended coupler as compared with the 2011 standard bed. The 2016 has more capacity thanks to the lower weight of the aluminum body and the higher torque of the 3.5L turbo charged V6.

Works great. I have not had any incidents or close calls in maneuvering the trailer. Did have one minor issue. Wasps like to enter the holes and build nests. Had to tape over them.

Easy install. Provides clearance to cab in tight turns.

This product works as advertised and enabled my short bed truck to haul my gooseneck trailer without hitting the back of the cab.
by: Marie 08/19/2018
I bought this for my 8 wide square front trailer. I own a short box and the turning radius was just not what I wanted. Now that I have this I am not worried about smashing out my back window on my truck. The trailer hauls nicely and you would never know the sleeve of the trailer is pushed back.
by: John03/02/2024
I use it every day , Great quality prod uct
by: Darwin11/10/2022
It is a great product, it gives me lots of turning range, without being concerned of hitting my cab, and at the same time keeping all the weight over the axle of the truck where it needs to be.
by: Carolyn 01/09/2024
Worked exactly as described.
by: George A03/06/2017
Good workmanship Fits well Used with B&W 4 in offset 2 5/16 ball in combo to get clearance between trailer corner and shortbed cab rear window on 2011 F350 pickup. Have a gooseneck 3 horse trailer with straight front that I used to pull with a F350 long bed pickup. Shortbed lacked clearance and this product took care of problem.

Quality product. Installed in about 45 minutes on Big Tex GN. Very tight fit. Had to put old connection under with some blocks and let weight of trailer down on it to get it on.

Had this installed for a year pulling everyday. Installed backwards to shorten overall length of setup. Have had no issues besides changing it out by myself. Very tight fit to install which I figure is a good thing.

See what our Experts say about this B and W Gooseneck Coupler
- Can the B&W Extend-A-Goose and 4 Inch Offset Ball be Used TogetherMy contact at B&W told me that the Extend a Goose, # BWTEXA4200, and the 4 inch offset ball # BWGNXA4085 can be used together. However, the pivot point of the trailer will still only be 4 inches back from its original position meaning that you will get 4 inches of true offset, not 14. If your gooseneck trailer is a V-nose then the 4 inches might be enough to safely make tight turns. I have linked a video review of the Extend a Goose for you.
view full answer... - Recommended Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch For 2016 Ram 2500For an under bed gooseneck hitch I recommend the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch, part # BWGNRK1384. This comes with a custom installation kit. The hitch has spring-loaded safety-chain hookups built in. The hitch ball can be removed and flipped upside down in the hitch for storage when you are not towing. The gooseneck can be used with a Companion fifth wheel hitch if you ever need to tow a fifth wheel. If you need a wiring harness for your trailer I recommend part # 41157.
view full answer... - B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler OptionsThe B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler, # BWTEXA4200, is only available in tube inner diameter of 4". There is the Gen-Y series of gooseneck couplers that have an offset along with shock absorbing features but I am not seeing any with the dimension you are requesting. Please see the attached link for this series if any may fit your needs.
view full answer... - Offset Gooseneck Ball for 2021 Ram 3500 With OEM In Bed PrepThe Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails # 16055 can be used with a set of in bed rails. This will give you a 3" offset. The other option would involve putting an offset adapter on to your gooseneck trailer. Something like the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler # BWTEXA4200. If you decide that this is the best option for you let me know what tube size you have on your gooseneck trailer and I will recommend a option for you.
view full answer... - How To Increase Cab Clearance When Towing With B and W Gooseneck Hitch In Ford F-150 5-1/2 ft BedIt sounds like you are using B and W Gooseneck Hitch part # BWGNRK1197 on your 1998 F-150 with 6-1/2 ft bed with the standard ball that came with the hitch. I recommend to use the 4" offset ball to gain clearance while making sharp turns part # BWGNXA4085. This will give you an addition 4" of clearance that will help when turning. If 4 inches isn't enough then I recommend an offset coupler for the gooseneck trailer, # BWTEXA4200. It offers 10 inches of offset for greater clearance. I...

- Offset Gooseneck for 2021 Ford F-350 Short Bed With OEM 5TH Wheel Gooseneck HitchThe best option for you would be a B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler # BWTEXA4200. It will give you an extra 10" clearance between your trailer and the cab of your 2021 Ford F-350. This fits standard 4" diameter outer tubes. There are no offset gooseneck balls for any factory in bed towing kits. This is due to the hitch not having a locking pin that would physically prevent the ball from turning. I recommend B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061 as it is one of the simplest to...
view full answer... - Recommended Offset Gooseneck Coupler for Kiefer Horse TrailerI have a solution for you, and it sounds like you're just looking for either an offset gooseneck ball or offset gooseneck coupler; you may not need it to adapt to a 5th wheel king pin. The Ranch Hitch # AM3139 is a 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter and is a single piece, so it's likely not what you need. Instead I would recommend using the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler - 2-5/16" Ball - 10" Offset - 24,000 lbs # BWTEXA4200 which will work on a gooseneck coupler and provide you with 10"...

Typically this has the correct hole size and location for most trailer applications. But if you need to drill your trailer to give you the correct matching hole size for this you certainly could.
view full answer... - Is a Hitch Extender Required for Short Bed Ford Super Duty Towing Enclosed Gooseneck Horse TrailerIt's possible that you will need an offset adapter for a Ford Super Duty Short Bed towing an enclosed gooseneck horse trailer but it really comes down to the shape of the loft. I recommend measuring your clearance with the trailer attached to be certain but it's not a bad idea to use an offset adapter to give you more clearance anyhow as it would be close even if it did clear. If you have a B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch then you can use the 4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball...
view full answer... - Is there an Offset Gooseneck Ball for the Factory Installed Gooseneck Hitch in a 2018 Ford F-350The factory installed gooseneck hitch from Reese does not have an offset ball option. It takes a special kind of ball, called a Pop-In ball, and they do not make an offset version. None of the other offset balls will work in the hitch. If you are towing a regular gooseneck trailer then you might be able to use B&W Extend-A-Goose, # BWTEXA4200. This is a gooseneck coupler inner tube that will fit a standard 4 inch diameter round tube on a gooseneck trailer.

This adapter will fit a standard 4 inch diameter outer tube on the gooseneck, and has a weight capacity of 24,000 lbs. It is designed to fit a standard 2-5/16 inch ball. I have attached a couple of photos of this adapter and you can see the dimensions....

- Can Offset Ball Be Used With Offset Gooseneck Coupler I spoke with my contact at B&W about the 4 inch offset ball part # BWGNXA4085. They told me that they do not offer a 15 inch offset coupler so they could not recommend using the 2 together. They did say the Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler, part # BWTEXA4200 would work with the offset ball, but I am unable to guarantee your coupler would work with the # BWGNXA4085.

This gooseneck coupler has an easy-to-use lockable lever, an adjustable air bag that lets you easily adapt the coupler to match your trailer's load, and is made in the USA.

So if you had a shop hour minimum I'd easily assume that would be all you'd need.

view full answer... - B&W Turnover Ball Gooseneck Hitch Fit for 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 5-1/2 bedFor the 2011 Ram 1500 5-1/2 foot bed, you'd use the B&W # BWGNRK1309 Turnover Ball gooseneck hitch. Because of the short bed, you'll either need an offset coupler # BWTEXA4200 on the trailer to gain 10 inches of additional clearance or an offset ball like # BWGNXA4685 for 4 inches of clearance. If you'd like to install a trailer connector in the truck bed, you can do so using part # C56000.
view full answer... - Offset Gooseneck Ball for OEM Gooseneck Hitch on 2018 Ram 3500If your Ram has the in-bed OEM goosneck hitch, there isn't an offset ball like # BWGNXA4085 available. The OEM hitch uses a ball with a round shank. If an offset ball were used, you could have two pivot points between the truck and the trailer, the point where the ball meets the coupler and the point where the ball meets the hitch. This would lead to an unsafe situation. I'd recommend going with an offset coupler like the # BWTEXA4200 from B&W which provides 10 inches of offset. The coupler...
view full answer... - Purpose Of Offset Holes On B And W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler I called my contact at B&W about the Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler, part # BWTEXA4200.

I have attached a link to a product review video you can check out.

You only need to make sure you follow the guidelines for installation (see accompanying cutout of part of the install manual) as well as abide by the coupler's capacities, which are 24,000 lbs towing and 6,000 lbs vertical load.

Therefore, there is not really a gooseneck trailer hitch that will give you better turning clearance.
