Draw-Tite Gooseneck 9460-39 Review

Today, were going to review part number 9460-39. This is the Draw-Tite, Hide- A-Goose under-bed Gooseneck trailer hitch with the installation kit. This installation kit is specifically designed to fit the 1994 to 2001 Dodge Ram Pickup, 6 foot and 8 foot bed. It will also fit the 2002 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 and 3500 series and also the 6 foot or the 8 foot bed. Basically, when this is installed in your truck bed, only the ball and the safety chain loops are visible in the truck bed. The rails and the hardware and all mounted under the bed, so it will allow for full truck bed access when this ball is in the stored position.The stored position is if you pull open the handle, you can release the hitch ball and if you drop it down into the hole it will lock into position, that being the stored position when its not in use.


Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation - 2007 Chevrolet Silverado New Body

Today on our 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD, we'll be installing the Blue Ox Diamond Hitch, part number DH1304. We've already gone ahead and removed the spare tire as well as the two rear wheels on the vehicle. We've removed the two rear wheels only for demonstration purposes so that you will be able to see what we're doing. We'll now go ahead and measure on the underside of the bed from the rear of the bed making sure not to include the tailgate forward. We'll insure that the location of the ball is approximately one inch in front of the centerline of the axle. We'll now go to the top side of our bed where we'll use a tape measure to find the center of our bed. We'll measure from the two wheel wells across.

This does have a capacity of 25,000lbs, gross towing weight capacity. It has a two and 5/16ths size trailer hitch ball.

Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation - 2012 Ford F-350

Today in our 2012 Ford F-350, we're going to be installing the Draw-Tite Hide-A-Goose Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch, part number 9460-48. Our first step is going to be to lower the rear exhaust tailpipe. To do this, I've found it's easiest to go ahead and remove the rear bracket fasteners and three flange fasteners, and go ahead and remove the tailpipe from the truck. Next, we'll remove the hangers here. First, we'll spray them with some spray lubricant, and then remove the rubber isolators. This will allow us easier access in between the frame ramps.


Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation - 2013 Chevrolet Silverado

Today on this 2013 Chevrolet Silverado were going to install part number 9465-56. This is the Hide-A-Goose installation. The first thing were going to do is prepare our truck to install the hitch. First off were going to lower the spare tire out of our way, and were also going to remove the tires and wheels from the rear axle. We dont have to do this part but it makes things easier to see and do and get access to the fasteners. Were also going to loosen up the exhaust.


Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation - 2012 Dodge Ram Dually

Today on our 2012 Dodge Ram 3500 dual-rear-wheel, we'll be installing the Blue Ox Diamond Hitch Under-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch, part number DH1102. We've gone ahead, raised the vehicle, removed the spare tire, all four rear wheels on this dual-wheel, and the exhaust from the catalyst monitor back. Our first step, we'll go ahead and remove the rock guard or heat shield that goes around the spare tire. There are a total of five fasteners to be removed. Once we remove the fasteners, we'll go ahead and set it aside for reinstallation later. Next we'll move over to the driver's side outside frame rail.


Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation - 2007 Chevrolet Silverado

Today on this 2007 Chevrolet Silverado were going to install part number 9465-34. Were going to start off our install with the rear wheels removed and the spare tire lowered out of the way. You dont have to do this, but it makes access to the insulation and hitch a lot easier. Now this vehicle has an OEM brake controller installed in the frame rail, so theres two bolts we have to loosen up so we can remove it from the rail. All we have to do is just loosen up the bolts, push it to the side and we can remove it from the frame. Were going to let it sit inside the frame for now.


Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation - 2010 Dodge Ram

Today, on our 2010 Dodge Ram pickup, we'll be installing the Blue Ox Underbed Goose Neck Hitch, part number DH1102. Note, before starting the install, weve already gone ahead and lowered and removed the spare tire. Our next step will be relocating the ground wire located on the outside frame rail of the driver side. We'll remove the nuts securing the ring terminal to the stud, and then route it to the inside of the frame rail. We'll also need to go ahead and remove one of the plastic fasteners securing the wiring. This will give us enough length to route it to the inside of the frame rail and secure it to the break line bracket.We'll simply use a 10-millimeter bolt and nut and go ahead and secure it to the pre-drilled hole.


Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation - 2010 Dodge Ram

Today on this 2010 Dodge Ram pickup were going to install part #: 9464-35. This is from Draw-Tite. First thing that were going to do to make our installation a little bit easier is that were going to go ahead and remove the rear wheels. Were also going to remove the inner fender well liners as well and lower the spare tire. Were also going to lower the heat shield for the spare tire, so we can go ahead and lower the exhaust as well. To lower the exhaust were going to spray down the rubber hangers with some lubricant and well go ahead and remove the retainers for the hangers so we can slide them off.

  • Reese Fold Down Ball Gooseneck Hitch and Install Kit # 8339-4436 for 2011 Toyota Tundra
  • As long as your Tundra does not have the super short (5-1/2 foot) bed, the Reese # 8339 Folding Ball Gooseneck Hitch and the # 4436 install kit which are sold together as # 8339-4436 is indeed compatible with your 2011 Toyota Tundra. I have confirmed this with Reese. If your bed is the 5-1/2 foot model, you should not tow a gooseneck trailer. If you don not already have a 7-way trailer connector in your truck bed, you can install one using part # 54701-003.

  • Towing a 5th Wheel Trailer with a Truck that has a Gooseneck Trailer Hitch
  • There are a few different adapters you could use to tow a 5th wheel trailer with a gooseneck trailer hitch. I have included a link to an FAQ article that covers the various options. The safest and most secure option is a 5th-wheel adapter that replaces the trailer pin box called a Goose Box. To determine if there is a Goose Box that will fit I would need to know the manufacturer and model number of the pin box. This information should be on a sticker or plate on the pin box itself.

  • Tips for Getting a Stuck Gooseneck Hitch Unstuck
  • The first thing you will need to do is apply liberal amounts of spray lubricant to all of the moving parts that seem stuck. Sometimes it helps to apply some, wait an hour or so and apply more and then do whatever it takes to pry the ball out. But it really depends on what style of gooseneck hitch you have. If you have a Fold-Down style like the # 8339-4435 then basically you will just want to do whatever it takes to get the hinged cover to pry up since when it comes up it also moves the ball

  • When installing the Part # 9465-34 Hide-A-Goose hitch, a hole must be drilled in the bed of the truck. Mark and drill a 1/4 inch hole 44-1/2 inches from the rear of the bed and centered between the wheel wells. Using a hole saw, enlarge the pilot hole to the final diameter hole size of 3-1/2 inches. File the edges as needed. Normally, the center of the gooseneck ball will be directly above or slightly forward, within an inch or 2, of the center of the axle but it is possible that on some truc

  • Location of Center of Hide-A-Goose Gooseneck Ball on a 2005 Chevy Silverado 1500 Z71
  • First, on a 2005 Chevy Silverado 1500, you would need to use # 9465-54. The installation kit for the hitch your referenced is not designed for the 1500. For 9465-54 the measurement is 44-3/4 inches from the rear edge of the bed forward. See instructions link. The ball should be centered in most every case either directly above the rear axle or a few inches in front of the rear axle. Any further back than this and the truck will ride high in the front causing steering and braking problems.

The issue you will most likely see is that when you go to make a tight turn the trailer will want to hit the cab of your truck. If the front of your trailer is very narrow then this might work for you, but most likely you would not have the clearance. There is a formula to determine if you have enough clearance to make a 90 degree turn. (A+B) - C = Clearance A. equals
