How Much Will B&W Offset Gooseneck Coupler Help When Towing a Gooseneck with 2017 Ford F-150

Question:

Will a 4 inch BandW extender hitch be enough added length to tow a 2 horse gooseneck trailer with a square nose?

The B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler - 2-5/16" Ball - 10" Offset - 24,000 lbs # BWTEXA4200 will give you a nice offset that is similar to the sliding travel on a 5th wheel hitch. It won't guarantee clearance for every vehicle or trailer but it will definitely help and give you much more clearance than you would otherwise have with your square nose horse trailer.

If you have a B&W turnoverball hitch, then you can use an offset like # BWGNXA4085 to give you an additional 4 inches clearance at the pivot point. If you have the factory hitch or many other aftermarket manufacturer there isn't an offset ball option.
