Keep your horses safe and comfortable in their trailer while you tow with this shock-absorbing gooseneck coupler. Offset design gives 2-1/2" of clearance between your cab and trailer. Use with standard 4" diameter outer tube. 25K GTW.

Specs:
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.

There are situations where the existing outer tube of the gooseneck couple will not have the correct holes to line this adapter up with. It is okay to slide this inner tube into the outer tube aligned correctly and just tighten the set screws. You will not use the pin in this case.

I wouldnt pull the gooseneck without it. SRW pulls very stable without the shock and vibration.

A year later and I stand behind this product and gen y’s customer service. The sticker that shows the load range in the neck came off after a couple of weeks. It was a sticker so I didn’t expect it to last anyway. So after I loaded my trailer with its full load out it’s a cargo conversion toy hauler I had some concerns about being over loaded. I took some pictures of my hitch in a fully loaded state on a level parking lot, with an angledegree finder on the torsion bars. I emailed the pictures and concerns to gen y. They responded very quickly and assured me that my hitch was in the “sweet spot”. It pulls and rides like a dream. I will definitely buy another if I ever need one. I believe this one will last me mana years of travel!
