The BX1 gooseneck coupler from Bulldog is designed to provide the easiest, most secure hookup possible. The bottom locking plate on this coupler is 50 percent larger than the competition, providing additional surface area to guide the ball into the socket. Miss the target by just over an inch and the coupler will still engage.
Once hookup is complete, use the easy-to-access, easy-to-maneuver handle to lock the coupler to the ball. When the handle is down, you know that everything is secure and it's okay to tow. For extra security you can insert a padlock (sold separately) through the fixed plate.
Once you begin towing, you may notice that there is far less rattle and jarring at the coupled point than you'd experience with a standard gooseneck coupler. This is because the ball pocket on the BX1 provides contact on both sides of the hitch ball, rather than on only one side, which is typical of the competition. The result is a tight fit around the ball that makes for a smoother, quieter and more secure towing experience.

This review is mainly about etrailer’s customer service.....it was exceptional. I had some specific questions about fit and they promptly responded each time with detailed answers. They shipped out immediately after ordering and it arrived exactly as described. These guys know their products and aim to please! Thanks again for the great service. 652910

Review from a similar BX1 in Gooseneck Coupler
There is not a locking load bearing pin manufactured to Bulldog's knowledge that fits these types of tubes. People usually steal the trailer and not the tube (unfortunately for me the idiots stole my tube and not the trailer). Standard coupler locks are 1/4" shank usually, and the end of the load bearing pin has a .20" hole for the retainer pin. Bulldog sees no reason why it couldn't be drilled out to support a 1/4" coupler lock that will fit on the end of the 3/4" diameter load bearing pin. I have not yet performed this modification of the load bearing pin, but will upload pics once complete. 455175

Review from a similar BX1 in Gooseneck Coupler
This gooseneck hitch is exactly what I was looking for. It fit right into the existing neck on my horse trailer. The latching mechanism is great! I can now hook and unhook my trailer by reaching into the bed without having to actually climb up onto the truck. 378490

Review from a similar BX1 in Gooseneck Coupler
Would not have been able to use trailer without it truck was to tall. Tons of misalignment is allowed for hooking up. If etrailer was smart they would sell the pin to lock the latch with the receiver. Can't use standard hardware because clearance is tight. Has to be the correct oddball Lynch pin. If they do sell it, make it like other sites 'customers frequently bought with this...' 436956

Review from a similar BX1 in Gooseneck Coupler
Replaced my old one with this on my 20k GN as it was getting hard to unlatch. This one also helps with hooking up with the large opening and you can lock it with a padalock. The latch design is easier than the old style and easy to tell if it is latched or not. 365487

Review from a similar BX1 in Gooseneck Coupler
Pretty good product, dimensions are as described. I bought it for the low profile, it will let us get a few more inches of height out of our gooseneck connection. Shipped and delivered on time, which is always appreciated. Be aware, this is shipped unpainted. I will spray paint mine to keep it from rusting. Haven't put it into use yet, I will update my review when I put it on the gooseneck. 801786

- Recommended Heavy Duty Gooseneck Coupler For Clearance and AdjustabilityIt sounds like you want vertical adjustability for 30K gooseneck coupler. It appears you may be seeking 30 inches of vertical travel and we don't have anything with that capacity. The normal range is 7-8 inches but the retracted heights can vary. We have the following options for you: Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler- Round - 30,000 lbs # BD0289500300 with 8 inches vertical travel with a retracted height of 29-1/3 inches. Ram Gooseneck Coupler - Topwind - Square - 30K # GCSQTW-30008 with...
view full answer... - Can Gooseneck Trailer be Leveled After Coupler is AttachedYou should make sure your level is trailer before coupling the Bulldog BX1 Gooseneck Coupler # BD1289140300 because as you can see by the cut out of the linked manual for this coupler: "The load bearing pin must be fully insough both the inner and outer tubes and the retaining pin installed inserted through both the inner tubes and outer tubes in order for the coupler to support its rated load." This would not allow you to adjust the height of the coupler with a fully supported load.

- What is the Outer Width of the Inner Tube for Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler # BD1289140300The outside dimension of the inner tube of Bulldog gooseneck coupler # BD1289140300 is 4 inches square. If you are looking for just a square inner tube we have some of those as well: # BD0288660300 # BD1289210300
view full answer... - Installation Direction for Bulldog BX1 Gooseneck Coupler BD1289140300Bulldog BX1 Gooseneck Coupler # BD1289140300 typically installs with the handle shaft facing to the rear so that the flat part of the coupler will face the driver's side of your tow vehicle. The position gives a bit of protection to the handle. Installation and operation instructions are linked for you.
view full answer... - Bulldog BX1 Gooseneck Coupler Compatibility with Recessed Gooseneck Ball in FlatbedFor the Bulldog BX1 Gooseneck Coupler # BD1289140300 my contact there advised that the size of flatbed gooseneck ball recess needed for compatibility with this coupler is no less than 6-inches all around from the ball center. They recommend a recess size of 12 x 12-inches to provide complete clearance.
view full answer... - Square Gooseneck Coupler For Trails West Combo Horse TrailerFrom my research it looks like the Trails West combo horse with living quarters 2005 model has a square Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler. All of the square inner tubes available have the holes for the pins. A lot of trailer manufacturers have switched from set screws to lock pins for safety reasons. It may be best to just replace your whole gooseneck coupler with Bulldog BX1 Gooseneck Coupler part # BD1289140300.
view full answer... - Replacement Inner Gooseneck Trailer Coupler Tube that Doesnt Use Load Bearing PinsAs far as an inner tube only, the BX1 coupler # BD1289170300 is the only option. It sounds like you need one that is held in the outer tube with set screws such as # CG or # BD0287690300. Coupler # CG has a 4 inch diameter tube and # BD0287690300 has a 4-1/2 inch tube. The other option is to replace both the outer and inner tube with # BD1289040300, # BD1289030300, # BD1289000300, # BD1289080300, # BD1289070300, or # BD1289140300. These are all BX1 couplers for 2-5/16 inch balls...
view full answer... - Gooseneck Trailer Coupler Like # BDGN240200 Is Difficult To OperateSince the # BDGN240200 is a weld-on application. I am not sure if it would be easy to just change out the coupler on your trailer as it will require cutting and grinding to prep for the new weld. You may simply want to try some white lithium grease to see if that frees up the current mechanism a bit and makes it easier to unhook the trailer. It is designed to allow you to move the lever to open the jaws and pull the vehicle out. If that does not help you may want to consider either...
