In order to use the Techliner Bed Liner in a truck with a gooseneck hitch installed you will need to cut a hole in the mat where it sits over the hitch ball. I recommend using a hole saw to make this cut. This can absolutely be done and will not affect the performance of the liner. If you can tell me the year, make, model, and bed size of your truck I would be happy to make sure you get the correct mat.
