This piece is very well made and is very nice for what it is. With that said, my Sundowner is not exact to the angle that these holes are pre-drilled. It works but is off just ever so little. The tubing is exact what it says it is size-wise. I actually had to sand off the powder coat to fit it in my tube.

This is my second purchase from etrailers, and I’ll definitely keep using them. My shipment arrived quickly and was exactly what I was looking for. They have an excellent selection of products and the customer service is amazing.

by: Christie 05/19/2022

I ordered this gooseneck coupler and it arrived in 3 days as promised. It's heavy so I took it to a friend to install it. Took maybe 15 min and I can actually turn my truck and trailer without worrys about blowing out the window like I did the week before. So happy I found these guys, super easy to work with. I would recommend this product to everyone with a short bed truck.

No longer smacking the cab of my truck! Great product, if you have a short bed truck, you definitely need this extender.

by: Hunter 05/08/2020

I was terrified at every turn of smashing my truck. This extend-a-goose is the answer! Make sure you measure the clearance of your gooseneck support to the bed rails to make sure that extending it the 11 inches doesn’t cause that angled part to impact your truck. The build quality is fantastic, however!! I’m not impressed with the “paint” down around the coupler...after only having it for a month or so I’m seeing rust stains (I will likely cover with a trash bag so it is not out in the elements since it protrudes last the gooseneck overhang. Bottom line, of you want a shortbed and a gooseneck this is a must!!! I no longer worry about crushing my truck and I can swing to about 80 deg off my trailer without worry (before it was maybe 50 degrees) And as always, shout out to etrailer for being a great parts supplier!!!

by: Gary 11/10/2025 One Year Later

It works great for a short wheelbase pickup as long as the ball is above the bed. Does not work on a flat bed with a recessed ball. The coupler end should have a longer neck where it connects to the coupler. I may have to do that myself. It's a pain to have to remove the gooseneck coupler to pull with my flatbed, and I have more flatbeds than short beds with a box.

Quick shipping and excellent product good communication

The extended coupler does EXACTLY what I needed - gave me extra turning room for my 8' wide horse trailer. (I've already knocked the back window out once - but no more)!!

Gives me peace of mind that I can travel and camp without a turning restriction.

Still does EXACTLY what I needed it for and has allowed me to make close turns easily. Highly recommend the extended coupler.

by: Mark S. 02/24/2017

I live in the Flint Hills of Northeast Kansas and we started using a Bar Six Cake feeder on our pickup to take care of cattle on winter pasture. I couldn't pull my trailer without crunching the cake box. I saw an extend-a-goose on another truck with a similar set-up and I thought this might be the answer. I charted out my problem on paper and figured out the trigonometry that I could increase my turning radius by 18 degrees with the 10" drop in the hitch.

I went ahead and ordered the item and installed it the day it came, which incidentally is always very quick with E-Trailer products. It worked like a charm. We still have to be careful with the trailer, but the extender helps me do my job more efficiently.

I bought this for my 8 wide square front trailer. I own a short box and the turning radius was just not what I wanted. Now that I have this I am not worried about smashing out my back window on my truck. The trailer hauls nicely and you would never know the sleeve of the trailer is pushed back.

The Extend-a-goose coupler has done exactly what I needed: given me extra clearance between the front of my horse trailer and my oversized Weatherguard tool box. And it looks great as well. No complaints.

by: Michelle 05/16/2025

This was so easy to install I am practically convinced I did it wrong! I have pulled the trailer, though, and everything is working perfectly. The product is sturdy, user friendly. It was delivered on schedule with frequent messages regarding its status along the way. Delivery was done according to my request. Then I got an email with some reassuring instructions that included who and how to contact for help! This is a company that seems committed to its customers' satisfaction.

Isn't that funny how when things go well it's suspicious? haha Glad the install went smoothly and if we can ever help with any future install projects we are happy to help - or even reassure :) What will you be towing?

by: Darwin 11/10/2022 One Year Later

It is a great product, it gives me lots of turning range, without being concerned of hitting my cab, and at the same time keeping all the weight over the axle of the truck where it needs to be.

The coupler is good quality and easy to install. It applies the down force from the trailer at the design point, so there is no compromise in trailer handling qualities for the truck. My truck is a 2016 Ford F-150 crew cab with a short bed, which has limited clearance for the gooseneck. My trailer is a two horse Sundowner gooseneck, which has a V-nose. With the extender, I can make the tightest possible turn moving forward with good clearance between the cab and trailer. Backing up, there is plenty of clearance provided that I do not jackknife the trailer. I estimated that contact would occur with an 82 degree angle between the trailer and truck. That means there is clearance for any maneuver you want to actually make, but of course if you jackknife the trailer too much it would be possible to damage the truck. This is an excellent solution for a v-nose trailer with the F150 crew cab. I would not recommend it for a flat nose trailer. I formerly had a standard bed F150 that I pulled this trailer with. There is no noticeable difference in pulling with the short bed and extended coupler as compared with the 2011 standard bed. The 2016 has more capacity thanks to the lower weight of the aluminum body and the higher torque of the 3.5L turbo charged V6.

Works great. I have not had any incidents or close calls in maneuvering the trailer. Did have one minor issue. Wasps like to enter the holes and build nests. Had to tape over them.

by: Judy 06/03/2025 One Year Later

This coupler is great and worth every penny! Its actually our second one so both trailers have one...just wish we had done it sooner. If you haul with a shortbed..especially if the trailer is more square shaped in front just save yourself some grief and get it.

Installed on my livestock trailer to add clearance for my GMC 1500 short bed that I had installed B&W gooseneck turnover ball hitch and it worked Great.
Know I have GMC Sierra 3500 HD 6.5 bed with B&W -BWGNXA2061 and it still works great on this truck so I left it on the trailer. It was a very easy one person install a little heavy but manageable. My trailer has the two bolt style mount.

Excellent product, with my short bed truck i wont pull a trailer without it. it out and move to the next trailer.

by: Larry 08/30/2023 One Year Later

I could not use the hitch because my stock height on my 01 Dodge 3500 4x4 was too high. If I drop the hitch in the trailer tube to the height that I need to safely clear my bed it is considered too much to safely tow. Unfortunately it was going to cost over $100.00 to send it back. It just sits brand new in a box in my barn. Most trucks sit too high to use this hitch.

Are Set Screws Enough for Installing the B and W Extend a Goose BWTEXA4200
Hey Kevi, it won't be an issue to only use set screws when installing the B and W Extend a Goose part # BWTEXA4200 like what you have currently. Just make sure those set screws are torqued down properly and it will be totally fine. Are you needing more turning clearance?

Offset Gooseneck Ball for 2021 Ram 3500 With OEM In Bed Prep
The Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails # 16055 can be used with a set of in bed rails. This will give you a 3" offset. The other option would involve putting an offset adapter on to your gooseneck trailer. Something like the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler # BWTEXA4200. If you decide that this is the best option for you let me know what tube size you have on your gooseneck trailer and I will recommend a option for you.

Solutions for Gooseneck Trailer Tongue Sitting Too Low
Hey Ryan, have you tried to adjust the pin box itself to cover that gap? Since you already adjusted the coupler adapter to it's highest setting, the only other thing you can do besides lift your trailer is adjust the pin box itself. I'd start with that, and if you can't adjust the height or it didn't help enough, please feel free to drop a comment and let me know.

How to Gain Turning Clearance for a Gooseneck Trailer on a 2017 Ford F-250 with Factory Prep Package
I do have an option for you but they do not make an offset gooseneck hitch ball for your 2017 Ford F-250 with the factory prep package to my knowledge so no, part # 19308 will not fit. Instead, you will want to consider an offset coupler like the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler part # BWTEXA4200 which fits around a 4" diameter tube and offers 10" of extension.

For an under bed gooseneck hitch I recommend the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch, part # BWGNRK1384. This comes with a custom installation kit. The hitch has spring-loaded safety-chain hookups built in. The hitch ball can be removed and flipped upside down in the hitch for storage when you are not towing. The gooseneck can be used with a Companion fifth wheel hitch if you ever need to tow a fifth wheel. If you need a wiring harness for your trailer I recommend part # 41157.

The offset adapters you mentioned part # BWGNXA4085 and # BWTEXA4200 aren't exactly an apples to apple comparison.
