Offset Gooseneck Ball Compatibility with Ford F-350 with Factory 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package

Question:

Hi, I have a new F350 short box with a factory 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Hitch Prep Package. Is there such thing as an offset goose-neck ball that works with the Ford factory prep kit? Thank you!

Reese, who makes the factory gooseneck hitch for Ford trucks, does not currently offer a compatible offset gooseneck ball. However, another option is using an offset coupler, such as the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler, # BWTEXA4200. It features a 10-inch offset, which is more than the offset provided by the gooseneck balls, which offer an offset of 4 to 5 inches. The Extend-A-Goose fits a 2-5/16 inch ball and has an outer diameter of 4 inches.

I've attached a video review of the coupler for you.
