Perfect perfect fit a friend of mine put it in for me he said that it was easy to put in a great fit now I pull a two horse trailer with a dressing room so it's more than adequate and strength for it thank you very much
by: Jeremy F.12/28/2017
Solid built! Ball moves much better than I expected. Install takes some focus and the right tools but overall the manufactures guides and support provided from etrailer covered everything.
This unit sits back over the axle much better than the hidden hitch style does. Yes, you can see it but if you have any concern about your trailer getting into your cab this unit gives you some critical inches. Wouldn't hesitate to purchase another in the future.
by: Andrew02/26/2023
etrailer does not have free returns, one year later this is still sitting in the box. I will never buy from etrailer again.
by: Edward S.09/21/2015
easy purchase with fast shipping and good install instructions. would recommend to anyone.
by: Ruben 01/29/2017
Bought this drawtite gooseneck hitch for my 2007 Dodge 2500 to pull and 8000lb horse trailer. Love it! It's simple design, easy to install, and "no profile" when folded down not in use. Caution if this is your first install - be VERY careful taking measurements to cut the hole in bed, you only get one chance to get it right. Totally recommend. Great price.
by: Tom M05/14/2015
Both Cathy and George were awesome to deal with and the product is just what I need. Can't wait to use etrailer.com again. Hitch and brackets are very well made and heavy construction.
by: Dean G.07/16/2016
No issues with it's intended use. Works great. Installation a little tricky and directions somewhat lacking in the detail department. Took considerably longer than I anticipated. Once in, works great.
by: Cassie K.01/23/2015
Product shipped fast and was even delivered a day early. Quality is excellent. Ordering was easy. I ordered both the gooseneck hitch and rail kit. Price on this site was $160 less than everywhere else. The description said that a template came included for where to cut out the bed, which it did, but there was no indicator on exactly where to set the teplate from the front or rear of bed. Which makes it complicated. but all in all I am pleased with my product and service.
by: Ty01/16/2019
Very pleased with the transaction. Item came within days. Great customer service follow up. Been pricing gooseneck hitches and installation for months. Found etrailer to be the best price and product selection for my 95 Chevy 2500. Installed hitch in 3 hours. Very straightforward install...

I ordered a gooseneck hitch late Thursday evening and it arrived the next Monday, as estimated by the salesman. I'm very well pleased with the product, the ease of installation, and the professional-courteous service I received.
by: Oscar B.10/12/2013
I am impressed with the service that I received. The hitch and installation brackets arrived within 4 days of when I ordered them. The quality of the hitch and materials is exactly as depicted on the website. After reading the installation instructions, installing the hitch should be a fairly simple project. The only problem I see is that I will have to drill one hole on each side frame but since I haven't installed it yet I don't know how easy it will be. I will follow up once I have it installed
by: Keith s05/07/2016
very pleased with the service and the gooseneck hitch installed just like the video explained I would highly recommend this hitch keith nc
by: Dave G/06/05/2019
Excellent gooseneck hitch. Installs as usual and works great. Very reliable.
by: Dave Sorenson09/25/2016
The product is awesome ! But there should be option for the 5 inch extention, instead of the ball ,which you need if you have a F150 5.5 box. now I have a ball that is useless. Would be awesome if I could return just the ball!
by: Derek02/26/2011
Good price, fast shipping, was really easy to put in, had to use my cherry picker to lift the backend off of the suspension to make it easier but it wasn't bad. Only thing that worries me is the 2 pieces that mount to the side of the frame only have 2 bolts per side, I drilled 2 more holes in the frame and added 2 more bolts to each side. There is 5 holes on the kit per side, but only 2 holes on my frame. Maybe thats enough but I added some to be safe.
by: Brian08/08/2018
Exactly what I wanted. Installation was easy enough. I would highly recommend etrailer. Customer service was great and fast shipping.
by: Nick02/23/2017
Great product. Convenient to always have the ball there and ready to go.
by: Shetrains09/10/2016
I love this hitch! It's been a year and I have had zero issues with it highly recommend this product and this company . Thank you for great and fast service.

Wonderful product. Quick delivery. Easy-ish install.
by: Jeff09/03/2015
Realized I would not find time to install this product in a timely manner. Passed it on to my mechanic, he got it installed in a couple hours. Worked great on our first two trips, anticipate no problems. Great service from Dana, she answered all of my questions, was efficient and a pleasure with which to talk. I received my order quicker than I anticipated, delivered in excellent shape.

It just arrived. Looks good. I'll know more after installation.
by: Tony12/13/2011
The product was excellent and deliver was quick. The install instructions could have been a little bit more detailed, but the install still went well.
by: Allen10/29/2017
The hitch was, and is, fine. The drawing was a bit confusing, but we straightened that out with direct call with manufacturer. Everyone concerned was very helpful and the confusion was resolved successfully. Thanks
by: Don07/29/2017
The hitch is great, took three hours to install. Y'all worked hard to get it to me, but UPS worked against you. Thanks

- Recommended Gooseneck Hitch For 2006 Ford F-350 Dually With Air Bags InstalledThe gooseneck hitch part # 8339-4449 is confirmed as a fit for your 2006 F-350 long bed. I have attached the installation instructions and there is no mention of issues installing the hitch with air bags installed. I also checked out some of the suspension air bags we offer and there were several that said they can be installed with a gooseneck hitch. I encourage you to check out the installation instructions for # 8339-4449 and check out where the mounting holes are located on your truck...

- Recommended Air Bags for 2001 Ford F-250 with Draw-Tite Gooseneck HitchThe Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2550 are what I recommend for 2001 Ford F-250. The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs will also work with an in-bed hitch so there will be no issues with a gooseneck hitch such as the Fold-Down Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # 8339-4449. The feature no-drill installation so you won't have to make any modifications to the vehicle.
view full answer... - Will the Hi-Rise # 9480 Mount to a Draw-Tite # 8339 Gooseneck Hitch on a 2008 Ford F-350Since you have the Fold-Down Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # 8339-4449 there actually isn't a way for the Hi-Rise # 9480 to secure to the gooseneck hitch since it sits down in the coupler section of the gooseneck hitch. To use the Hi-Rise you will need to swap out the top part of your gooseneck hitch with part # 9460 which allows you to remove the hitch ball. If you went this route then you also need replacement mounting hardware # 58320 since the hardware is only meant to be torqued once. We...

- Recommended Gooseneck Hitch for 1999 Ford F-250 with AirLift Air Bags Already InstalledThere are a variety of air bag systems that are compatible with in-bed hitches, with the AirLift # AL57390 being the most versatile and compatible with any in-bed system; with that said, not all of them are compatible so what you can use depends on what AirLift system you've got installed on your 1999 F-250. The gooseneck hitch that provides the most flexibility and seems the least likely to interfere with an in-bed gooseneck system is the Draw-Tite # 8339-4449. This gooseneck hitch sits...

view full answer... - Recommended Fold-Down Gooseneck Hitch For 1999 Ford F-250I do have a great option for you, however we do not currently have the Atwood model gooseneck hitch that you mentioned available for your truck. For a very similar gooseneck hitch that is confirmed to fit your 1999 Ford F-250 Short Bed, I recommend taking a look at the Draw-Tite Fold-Down Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # 8339-4449. This gooseneck hitch includes custom frame brackets that will eliminate the need for drilling into the truck's frame. Its fold-down ball will allow for uninhibited...

view full answer... - Recommended Gooseneck Hitches with In-Bed Release for 2015 Ford F-350 Short BedFor your 2015 Ford F-350 short bed we can offer gooseneck hitch options whether or not you have the factory rail kit in the truck bed. If you do NOT have the rail kit you can use the Draw-Tite # 8339-4449 which has an in-bed ball release. If you have the factory rail kit instead use Reese # RP30137. For a wiring harness you can use # C56000 which is a simple plug-in installation.
view full answer... - Recommended Gooseneck Hitch For A 2002 Ford F-350 Super Duty You could most likely weld the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Flatbed Trucks # BWGNRK1500 or the Draw-Tite # 8339-4449 to the plate the original owner welded in but you would need to talk to a fabricator to ensure that they can get it installed. Honestly since you're wanting to replace the bed my recommendation would be to just remove the welded on gooseneck hitch and install the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit # BWGNRK1108...

- Where Should a Gooseneck Trailer Hitch be Located on a Ford F-450Gooseneck trailer hitches tend to be a little more forward of the rear axle on a truck compared to 5th wheel hitches. But if you have the hitch placed directly over the center of the rear axle or a few inches forward then it is in the ideal location. If you can tell me the year of your Ford F-450 and if it has a regular pickup bed or a flatbed I might be able to give you a more specific location.
