Is there an Offset Gooseneck Ball for the Factory Installed Gooseneck Hitch in a 2018 Ford F-350

Question:

Can this be used in the new Ford 350 factory installed ball by Reese? We had the ball put in by Ford. We have a shortbed and almost crunched the back corner of the 4 door. Can this we used in place of the factory ball?

The 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.
