Expert Answers about Chevrolet Gooseneck Coupler


  • Recommended Replacement Coupler For Gooseneck With A 4-1/2 Inch Square Tube
  • If you need to only replace the coupler, I'd recommend the Gooseneck Coupler Head Kit, # GC-HEAD, for etrailer or Ram replacement couplers or the Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler Repair Kit, # BD0287740300, for Bulldog couplers. To replace your gooseneck coupler inner assembly for your 4-1/2 inch square tube, I would recommend the Bulldog BX1 Gooseneck Coupler Inner Tube - Square - 2-5/16" Ball - 25,000 lbs, # BD1289210300, which is 22-1/2 inches long. Another coupler I'd recommend that is a...

  • What Is Needed For More Clearance Between The Bed Rails And Gooseneck Trailer On A Ford F-150 Truck
  • A good rule to follow is to allow 6 inches or more of clearance between the sides of the bed and the bottom of the gooseneck trailer to allow for dips and bumps in the road. You will want to check your gooseneck coupler to see if it has an adjustable tube with set screws that will allow you to adjust the height of the coupler for extra clearance when attached to your vehicle. If it does then you can loosen the set screws and adjust the length of the tube to get more clearance. If the...

  • Gooseneck Coupler That Is Easiest To Attach To Gooseneck Hitch Ball
  • There is one gooseneck coupler with a wide flange that is also the easiest to hook up to your gooseneck ball, which is the B&W Defender Locking Gooseneck Coupler. Not only is the coupler base a full 6 inches in diameter, it is also a funnel, as you can see by the accompanying photo. The funnel means you do not have to be right on top of your gooseneck hitch ball, it only needs to be within 2 inches of the ball to hook up. The coupler can be had with either the inner and outer tube, or...

  • Trailer Lock Recommendation for Gooseneck Trailer with Atwood Coupler
  • Since the Atwood AMPlock gooseneck coupler locks are no longer around your best option for a coupler lock will be a wheel lock to lock the trailer like the etrailer.com wheel lock part # 288-02020. This locks the trailer just as effectively as a coupler lock but is universal enough to fit basically any trailer out there or vehicle. It's the best solution for gooseneck trailers like yours where there isn't a coupler lock that fits the coupler.

  • Recommended Gooseneck Coupler Lock for Puma Trailer
  • We have a few different options depending on the gooseneck coupler you have on your Puma trailer. If you have a Bulldog, Stallion, Superior, or T.E.M. coupler then I recommend the Blaylock EZ Lock Gooseneck Coupler Lock # BLTL-50-40D. If you have a RAM coupler then you would need the # BLTL-55-40D instead. Both of these have an option to come with the Blaylock EZ Lock for Set Screw on Gooseneck Coupler - Aluminum # BLTL-51-40D. You would need the # BLTL-53-40D2 or # BLTL-57-40D2. The...

  • Replacement Gooseneck Trailer Coupler for Horse Trailer with Round Coupler

  • It sounds like you want vertical adjustability for 30K gooseneck coupler. It appears you may be seeking 30 inches of vertical travel and we don't have anything with that capacity.

  • Recommended Gooseneck Coupler Locks For 2012 Sundowner Rancher Trailer
  • Many of the gooseneck locks we offer are designed to fit specific hitches and styles. If the gooseneck you have on your 2012 Sundowner 20 ft Rancher is a Bulldog, Stallion, Superior, or T.E.M. coupler, then I recommend part # BLTL-50-40D. This includes a stainless steel padlock. If your gooseneck is made by RAM, I recommend the Blaylock EZ Lock Gooseneck Coupler Lock, part # BLTL-55-40D.

  • Recommended Gooseneck Trailer Coupler Base Lock
  • For your gooseneck trailer, I recommend the Gen-Y Auto Latch Gooseneck Coupler Lock # 325-GH-7111. This unit will be a fit for most gooseneck couplers due to its universal design. It will help the majority of couplers to protect your trailer by detering theft. This lock will cover the base of your gooseneck so that it cannot be connected to. I've attached a video to assist. I've also linked the page to the options we carry for gooseneck trailer base locks.

  • Recommended Offset Coupler For Trailer Gooseneck Coupler
  • It sounds like you need an offset coupler for your gooseneck. I recommend the B and W Trailer Coupler, part # BWTEXA4200.

This is designed to fit standard 4 inch diameter outer tubes and it has a vertical adjustment range of 8 inches. We also offer an offset hitch ball for gooseneck hitches. This is part # 19308.

  • Lock Recommendation for Gooseneck Trailer with Popup RV1 Coupler
  • Not to further confuse you, but we actually have a total of 8 Blaylock gooseneck coupler locks. They are all designed to fit different styles of gooseneck couplers. I have a solution for you, but the RV1 Popup coupler you have is not one that any of them are designed to fit. Your best option would be a wheel lock like the Rack em Lock part # RA-25 as it will immobilize your trailer just like a coupler lock except doesn't matter what style of coupler you have.

  • Gooseneck Coupler Recommendation for a Trailer Currently with a King Pin
  • The part # BD0288660300 would not be the correct part for you since it is just an inner tube for a gooseneck coupler. Instead you would want the Bulldog BX1 Gooseneck Coupler # BD1289030300. This is 24-1/2 inches in height when fully retracted but could easily be trimmed down shorter to 19 inches.

  • Recommended Coupler Lock for Big Tex Gooseneck Trailer
  • I was not able to locate specific manufacturer information regarding the couplers that are used on Big Tex Gooseneck Trailers like what you have. With that being said, they do look very similar to the Ram Gooseneck Coupler # GCSQTW-30008 that you mentioned, with its square tube design and crank. If you find that this is what you have, I recommend the Blaylock EZ Lock Gooseneck Coupler Lock # BLTL-55-40D. This coupler lock is designed specifically for Ram gooseneck couplers and features...

  • Is the 2-5/16" Gooseneck Coupler Head # 291300 Designed for Attaching to Hitch Stabilizer
  • The 2-5/16" Gooseneck Coupler Head # 291300 that you referenced is a gooseneck hitch coupler. It could be used with a tripod stabilizer if you had one but it's main function is for connecting a gooseneck trailer to a gooseneck ball in the bed of a truck.

  • Gooseneck Trailer Couplers with Both the Outer and Inner Tubes
  • It sounds like you want a gooseneck coupler that includes both the outer and inner tubes. The outer tube is permanently welded to the trailer and the inner tube is the adjustable part with the coupler. We have several options, see link below. The most popular is Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler - Adjustable - Round - 2-5/16" Ball - 30,000 lbs Item # BD0289500300. We also have some square tube options such as # BD1289140300.

  • Trailer Lock Recommendation for a Trailer with a Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler
  • I have a great theft-deterrent for your trailer that has the Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler part # BD0289340317 installed on it, but the Blaylock coupler lock part # BLTL-50-40D that you referenced would not be it. Instead you would need to go with a wheel lock like the part # RA-25 that works regardless of the coupler style of the trailer.
