Most of the gooseneck hitches we have available, like the B&W # BWGNRK1104 or the Draw-Tite # 9465-37 are constructed of steel, but not stainless steel because it's strength relative to higher grades of steel. To my knowledge there is not a hitch that is made with 100% stainless steel components on the market, but most of the hitches do have some stainless steel components like the hitch ball or the safety chain loops.

When it comes to the best available gooseneck hitch on the market, it's hard to argue with the B&W, and if you look through their reviews it's quite evident. Their products are backed by a lifetime warranty, so you know you're getting a high quality hitch, and a lot of their different components are designed to be cross compatible (gooseneck to 5th wheel hitch and vice versa). They've also got some of the highest capacity towing components we've got available, so they're popular for both recreational and industrial/aggricultural towing applications. This B&W Gooseneck Hitch has a highly durable grey powder coating on it, that will help fight off corrosion, so it doesn't really need to be made of stainless steel to have the same corrosion fighting properties.

The gooseneck hitches mentioned above are designed to fit on the 2014 Ford F-150, but if you can let me know what model truck you've got I can find you a gooseneck hitch that is a custom fit.
