Note: This SPARTAN coupler is taller than a standard coupler, so it is important to measure the distance from the bottom of your current coupler to the retaining pin.
Whether you're hauling construction equipment or you're carrying your ATVs to the mud park, towing heavy-duty loads can be an intense job. You definitely don't want to have to deal with sharp, jolting movement every time your trailer hits a bump. Driving over bumps, potholes, and uneven terrain causes road shock. This can result in a rough ride for you and your cargo. It can even potentially damage your trailer. The Spartan from Gen-Y Hitch is designed to absorb road shock at the connection point to create a safe, smooth, and stable ride. This is thanks to the internal construction of the coupler, which is similar to that of a torsion axle.
Pivot points are built into this gooseneck coupler. This allows for movement between the base of the coupler, which connects to the ball in your truck bed, and the top tube of the coupler, which connects to your trailer. When your vehicle hits a bump, the base of the coupler will move up or down accordingly.
Built into the Spartan are tubes with inner bars that are surrounded by rubber cords. As the coupler's base rises or falls, these inner bars twist inside of the tubes, attempting to follow the base's motion. But the rubber cords prevent the bars from twisting too far. And as each bar turns, these cords compress to absorb the shock. This means that any shock experienced by your truck can be absorbed before it reaches your trailer, and the shock experienced by your trailer won't get transferred to your truck.
This type of shock-absorption system is easy to maintain. Just regularly apply grease to the built-in zerk to keep the components in working condition. No airbags to fill. No small parts to repair or replace. No hassle.
This Gen-Y gooseneck coupler has an offset design. The bottom of the coupler, where it attaches to the ball, is positioned 2-1/2" away from the coupler tube, which inserts into the outer tube on your trailer. This provides 2-1/2" of extra clearance, giving you more space between your truck cab and trailer when making tight turns.

Hello neighbors, it's Brad here from etrailer, and today I'm at NATM, and this convention brings a lot of the vendors that we have at etrailer to a convention where we have their booths and their products set up. I had a chance to catch up with quite a few of them. So let's take a look at their products a little bit up close and ask some of the questions to those vendors about their products. I'm here with Jason from Gen-Y, and today we're talking about goosenecks. What do you guys offer Yeah, so for sure we have our static gooseneck coupler with our auto latch called the SnapLatch. The SnapLatch is just the same technology as we have our around our to fit the goose and our ADMIRAL, which is the A-frame or the C-channel coupler for the trailer side.
This obviously is for the gooseneck trailer side. This is an insert, goes into a four-inch round outer tube. Has adjustability, three adjustable positions. The cool thing again for this is our SnapLatch coupler where I open it up, and as I open it up, I unhook, you know, jack my trailer up, and it resets itself. Now it stays open next week, next month, next year, doesn't matter.
It's always gonna be in the open position. And then when I back up and I lower my trailer gooseneck coupler over the ball, it locks itself into place. I can never forget to lock it into place, the safest coupler on the market. And so we also have the torsion-flex gooseneck coupler, which by the way, both the static and the torsion-flex coupler gooseneck couplers have round and square application available, and they're both four-inch round or square. This, again, is torsion-flex, the same technology that we have in our bumper pool, and then also the EXECUTIVE, the torsion-flex EXECUTIVE.
So it gives you a more comfortable ride, it protects the assets of the trailer. If you're a construction guy and you're towing all these, you know, things of wood, or if you're, you know, a plumbing guy, whatever you're towing on that big gooseneck trailer, you're helping protect the assets that you're towing with. So one thing I wanna point out is that the pivot is all on rubber. There's no steel on steel pivot anywhere. There's a guy on the East coast that had horses and towing them back and forth on the East coast, and the first time that he used our torsion-flex gooseneck coupler, he said he got to where he was going, and he said always before the horses would come out, they we inchesre antsy, they we inchesre restless.
But literally the first time that he got to where he was going with our torsion-flex coupler on the trailer, he opened up the doors, and the torsions were just as calm as could be. So that was a really good feedback. So torsion-flex technology, SnapLatch, I mean, you got it all in a gooseneck application. Yep, for sure. So just as you've seen throughout the Gen-Y products that you guys use a lot of the same technology, but it's great. It's good technology that you're carrying through all of your products, and it's tried and true. Absolutely. So you guys stick with what you know, and Gen-Y is some of the heavy duty-est stuff out there, but it also looks great. Yep. I mean, the quality is there. I can't say enough good things about Gen-Y. Their products are fantastic, and a huge thanks to Jason for taking the time to show us all their products. Yeah, no, I appreciate etrailer.com also. You guys have just done a really good job in asking the right questions. You said a little bit about, you know, our technology and the cosmetics. I've always talked about the fact that we try to innovate products that are useful and meaningful to customers. We're not gonna just create a product just to create it. It's gonna have to have a, you know, validated by our consumer, and make sure that that's what they wanna see. And so the other thing is the cosmetics. There's nothing more ugly to see something in the aftermarket space that works great, but it looks ugly. So I think the two, the innovation and the cosmetics go together. So that's always our goal is to make sure that our products have the cosmetics to it, along with the innovation. So thanks again, etrailer.com. You guys are awesome. Appreciate everything you guys are doing for Gen-Y. Thank you.
Fast and exactly what I needed. Thanks Carol
works great
Some of the best Service i have been given while ordering something on the phone in years . Even when she did not know the answer her willingness to find out was great . Thanks again
just as i expected. fits great and easy to install.
the young man in the video must be very strong, cause it took some umph to get the tube inserted and pin put in by myself. but hey, this fat old man got'er done!!
With my trailer which is only a 6 k trailer I bought the 7.5k hitch yet empty it is maxed out wish there was a way to adjust
Great hitch ... love the adjustability of the hitch to match height of different trailers i pull since i hot shot and do power onlys also
the product works great just be sure to order the correct weight rating for the loads you intend to haul. if you only haul 10,000 lbs. get the hitch for that rating. even though you can haul 15,000 lbs. you won't get the benefit of the flex if your hitch has a gross tongue weight that is too heavy. other than that, it's a great product.
Quick Service! Only one problem the GEN Y doesn’t match up on my Liberty Trailers gooseneck retaining pin holes not basically they are an inch off forcing my trailer to be off had to bring it to a machine shop for proper alignment.
Definitely rides better when the trailer is loaded. Only issue I have is that it increases the hitch height (my truck is lifted), but that's just the nature of the beast. Hopefully it hold's up to the Arizona sun.
I don't see how I lived without this. We often experienced a "bucking" when crossing bridges or even on certain roads with expansion joints. We were getting bounced around so much I can't imagine how our horses survived. This product has removed that completely. It also provides a slight offset if you have a shortbed. I have an 8' bed, but welcome the extra space between my tailgate and the trailer. Well worth the money! I will never tow a gooseneck trailer again without this.
I have a 2020 Silverado Custom Trail Boss 1500 and I pull a Shadow 2 horse slant gooseneck with 9' LQ and a bump out. The Trail Boss has a 5'9" box so the gooseneck is rather close the the cab. I bought the Gen-Y Spartan shock absorbing gooseneck coupler with 5" offset and it makes a huge difference pulling down the road. We have hauled the horses from MN to ND, MT, WY, CO, KS, NE, IA and back and have nothing but great things to say about the Gen-Y coupler. It is a must!
Holes in hitch don’t line up with the hole in tube on my 2018 MAXXD Trailer. With holes lined up the hitch is offset towards passenger side of truck. Was really looking forward to working this hitch. Very disappointed
E trailer customer service stayed in contact with me through the entire process.
It took a few weeks to be delivered but I was in no hurry so plan accordingly.
The Spartan hitch was as advertised.
The only negative feed back I have is that the neck pin didn’t have a shoulder so it would go all the way through the holes. I use my existing through bolt anyway so I didn’t need it. Again plan accordingly. Not to be confused with the ball hitch pin. I’m strictly speaking of the slide neck adjustment pin.
Overall very pleased with etrailer and gen y.
This seems to be an excellent upgrade to the coupler on my Belmont trailer. Less than 100 miles on it so far but the trailer seems to jerk the truck around less on these fine Pennsylvania roads. It is helpful to have an extra pair of hands when installing. The powder coating made the tube on the coupler a little thicker than the original. I used a wire brush and some spray lithium grease on the inside of the trailer tube and was able to install the new coupler just by working it back and forth with minimal powder coating coming off. My trailer is registered at 9,999 lbs which is why I went with the 3.5k TW option. Haven’t had an opportunity to put a machine on the trailer yet to see if that was wise or not but a load of 18 - 6”x6”x12’ pressure treated beams barely moved the indicator. After my first trip I opted to change it to using the hole closest to the coupler as the trailer had a little too much angle back towards the last axle. Even in the bottom hole I still have 9” of clearance between the top of my tailgate on my Ram 2500 and the trailer.
The difference is substantial! I won’t say you can’t tell the trailer is back there but the ride comfort is outstanding!!!!
This gooseneck coupler is truly impressive! It boasts a robust and durable design, crafted from high-quality materials that ensure it can handle heavy loads with ease. The construction feels solid and reliable, giving me confidence in its performance. I plan to provide further insights on its functionality and durability once I’ve had more time to use it and see how it holds up under regular use.
