It was almost terrible, but ended up great. I Georgia company much more on how they conduct themselves when things don't quite go right rather than when they go perfectly. It's easy to look like a rockstar when everything is perfect, but it is much harder to be a quality company when things don't go your way. This time around I was accidentally shipped the wrong part for an upcoming trip in a couple of days, I was able to get a hold of my original sales representative Cassandra and she was able to identify and rectify the issue and time for a very important cross country trip. Her courtesy and professionalism throughout the entire experience was exemplary and has earned this company a loyal customer. I will certainly buy more equipment especially from Cassandra she did an excellent job.

Just as pictured. It fits the Draw-Tite GN on my 2011 Silverado 2500 HD perfectly! It is a big heavy-duty item and must weigh about 10#. The weld around the ball is nicely done.

Great product works very well and gets the job done thanks again.

The offset ball works great and gives me plenty of room to move my camper around. The shorter bed on the newer trucks don't give much room for turning, but with the offset ball I haven't had any issues yet

My offset ball still looks and works like new. I recommend this!
by: Chad A07/25/2016
Good product. Would be nice if the hitch plate kit had the option to include this ball. b/c now I have the straight ball that I don't use that came with the system.
by: Andrew12/14/2018
It works great now my camper is not right at my back window. But I gave it 3 stars because I still have to remove my toolbox on my 2012 F150 Supercrew.
by: regina adams09/19/2016
i just want to say that the lady that answered my phone call was the most friendly and helpful person. The product that she helped me get i liked better than the one that i had originally ordered. The gooseneck hitch was easy to install and works great.

Product is exactly what we needed. Service, as usual from etrailer, was prompt, professional and delivery was very fast.
Etrailer ALWAYS nails it!!!

Perfect. Because I have a mega cab. This receiver works great. It gives me greater turning radius. Which helps in thick traffic.
Thanks for the help

- Offset Gooseneck Hitch Ball for 2016 Ford F-350 With Factory In Bed Hitch Puck SystemThe 5" Offset Ball for Hide-A-Goose Gooseneck Trailer Hitches # 19308 will not fit the factory hitch on your 2016 Ford F-350. It only works with Bulldog, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, and Reese Hide-A-Goose gooseneck trailer hitches only. The Adapter Rails # C88KR will allow you to use the Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # 16055. This will give you a gooseneck ball that is 3" offset to the rear of the vehicle. Be aware that this will cause the ball to sit much higher in the bed than...
view full answer... - Recommended Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for 2008 Ford F-150 4x4 with 5.5 Foot BedFor your 2008 Ford F-150 4x4 with 5.5 Foot Bed, I recommend the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit # BWGNRK1104 along with the offset ball # BWGNXA4085 to give you 4 more inches of clearance. These are made in the USA. Another great option is the Hide-A-Goose Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Custom Installation Kit - 30,000 lbs # 9465-37. This hitch has a 5 inch off-set ball # 19308 available for even more turning clearance. You may also...
view full answer... - Correct Gooseneck Hitch For 2017 Ford F-350 For Use With Offset BallWe do have a gooseneck trailer hitch that fits your 2017 Ford F-350 Super Duty and allows the use of an offset ball, though there isn't a hitch that is going to be compatible with the 5" Offset Ball # 19308. This particular ball is only a fit for older models of Hide-A-Goose that use a lever to secure the ball, and the one that fits your '17 F-350 uses a pop-in ball. So instead, what you will need for your 2017 F-350 is the following combination - B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer...
view full answer... - Draw-Tite Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for a 2012 Ram 2500HD Mega Cab Short BedYes, Draw-Tite gooseneck trailer hitch and isntallation kit # 9464-35 is listed as a fit for the 2011 to 2012 Ram 2500HD, including Mega Cab models and 2 or 4-wheel drive models. I have linked a video showing an installation for you. Since you have a short bed truck you will probably want a ball with an offset. You can use # 19308 which will provide an additional 5 inches of clearance. And if you need to add in-bed trailer wiring you can use # 41157. I have linked a video showing installation...
view full answer... - Could 2014 Toyota Tundra with 5-1/2 ft Bed Tow Gooseneck TrailerYou do have a challenging setup for towing a gooseneck trailer, but if the trailer has a tapered nose like what you see on stock trailers and not a wider nose like what you see on horse trailers with living quarters you should be fine. Installing the Draw Tite Gooseneck Hitch part # 9465-36 is a fit for your 2014 Toyota Tundra 5-1/2 foot bed but since your bed is so short in length you'll want the offset ball extension # 19308 too. With this extension your toolbox would not be an issue either.
view full answer... - Gooseneck Ball Options for a Hide-A-Goose Trailer Hitch on a 2007 Dodge Ram 3500If it is a Hidden Hitch, Reese, Bulldog, or Draw-Tite Hide-A-Goose hitch, they will all take the same ball. However, ball # 19309 fits the following models: # 9460, # 9461, # 9462, # 9463, # 9470, # 9471, and # 9474. The underbed gooseneck hitch for a 2007 Dodge Ram 3500 is # 9464-35 (Draw-Tite). For this hitch, you can use Ball # 19306 (2-5/16 inch diameter). If you have a short bed, we have a ball with an offset, # 19308.
view full answer... - Turning Clearance for Gooseneck Trailer You can refer to the linked diagram for general guidelines about minimum clearances required when towing. If you have 8 or 9-inches of vertical clearance between the bed rails and the trailer you should be fine since 6-inches is considered adequate in most cases. As for clearance at the back of the cab, if your trailer has only the standard gooseneck tube structure in the front (and no enclosed trailer structure near it) cab-to-trailer turning clearance should not be an issue. If the trailer...

- Gooseneck Coupler Adapter for Additional Turning Clearance with Square-Nose TrailerIf your gooseneck trailer uses a 4-inch round outer tube you can use the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler # BWTEXA4200 to gain 10-inches of additional clearance. The offset adjustment holes accommodate outer tubes with pins in different positions. This coupler offers a 6K vertical load limit and a 24K trailer weight rating. This fits a 2-5/16-inch ball. Another option that provides less additional clearance is an offset ball like # 19308 for Hide-a-Goose hitches or # BWGNXA4085 for...
view full answer... - Gooseneck Offset Needed for Short Bed PickupIf you have a gooseneck trailer then we do have an option for your trailer side with the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler # BWTEXA4200. It has a 10" offset and has an outer diameter of 4". For something that site between the hitch and the trailer, like part # 19308, I would need to know what gooseneck hitch you have on your pickup. These are hitch specific so only certain ones will fit with your towing setup. Let me know what you have and I can see if we have anything for you.

If you have the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2525 then no, the Hide-A-Goose Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # 9465-37 will not work as they both install on the outside of the frame rail. If you have the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57200 then yes, the Hide-A-Goose Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # 9465-37 will work for you as the airbags install under the frame and the gooseneck brackets...

The only option to obtain an offset is with a new coupler, the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler part # BWTEXA4200 is a great option with 10" offset.

However, you will need to drill into the bed floor for the hitch ball opening and safety chain loops but I am sure this is of no surprise to you.

At 17-3/4" you will continue to have the same amount of clearance that you have currently with your slider hitch in the towing position.

view full answer... - Best Way To Add Turning Clearance To a 2010 Ford F-150 5-1/2 Bed with Gooseneck Camper TrailerThe gooseneck trailer hitches available for your 2010 Ford F-150 are all going to place the hitch ball in about the same spot which is either directly on top of or just in front of the rear axle. Therefore, there is not really a gooseneck trailer hitch that will give you better turning clearance. However, if you use the the Hide-A-Goose Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # 9465-37 which is what I recommend then you can add the 5" Offset Ball for Hide-A-Goose Gooseneck Trailer Hitches...

Gooseneck hitches were not designed to provide additional offset for gooseneck trailers and short bed trucks, but this offset ball will improve your turning clearance by approximately 10 degrees. As you may have already determined, this ball will not allow you to safely make a 90 degree turn, but it will allow the best...
view full answer... - Towing with a Hide-A-Goose Performer Gooseneck ExtensionThe Hide-A-Goose gooseneck hitch ball with 5 inch offset, item # 19308, is meant to take the place of the standard ball. You can definitely drive/tow with it in place of your standard gooseneck ball.
view full answer... - Will Handling of Gooseneck Trailer Worsen Using Offset BallI spoke with my contact at Draw-Tite and he said using an offset ball will not significantly increase trailer sway on a gooseneck trailer. If you are experiencing sway, the best defense is proper trailer loading. If you can load your trailer so that the tongue weight is between 10 and 15 percent of the total trailer weight you will reduce sway as much as possible. Also too much weight forward is very hard on the vehicle and too little weight forward is hard on the trailer, especially the...

I have attached an installation video for this hitch on a 2010 Doge Ram which you may want to check out. To make towing a little easier, you may want to add an in-bed trailer wiring harness if you do not already have one. I recommend the Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Wiring Harness # 41157. This will give you a port...
view full answer... - Gooseneck Hitch Recommendation for a 2011 Ford F-150 with a 5-1/2 foot BedThe Draw Tite Gooseneck Hitch part # 9465-37 that you referenced is confirmed to work on your 2011 Ford F150 with a 5-1/2 foot bed. The review you read about the bed being raised 1.5 inches meant that he raised the bed a little bit to install the hitch. This hitch does not permanently raise the bed of your truck at all. For additional clearance for turning you may also be interested in the offset gooseneck ball part # 19308.
view full answer... - Can I Use an Offset Ball With Ford Factory Prep and Reese Goose BoxIt is not recommended to use the Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter with a short bed truck because of turning clearance. It does not provide any turning clearance like a rotating pin box would, for example the Reese Side Winder. The 5" Offset Ball for Hide-A-Goose Gooseneck Trailer Hitches part # 19308 is designed only for the Bulldog, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, and Reese Hide-A-Goose gooseneck trailer hitches only so it will not fit your factory prep package...

The # 19308 is designed to work with Reese Hide-A-Goose gooseneck hitch heads.

There a few compatible offset balls for your B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch, depending on the specific model that you have. To ensure you get the correct one, you just want to take a measurement from the locking pin hole to the bottom of the square base on your hitch ball.

This is a great product and really helps in tight turns. It is very well made and all that needs to be done is keep the ball lubricated. We are pulling a 26 3-horse trailer. No evidence of any corrosion.
