See what our Experts say about this etrailer Gooseneck Coupler

  • Does The etrailer Gooseneck Coupler Head Kit Fit a 4 Inch Gooseneck Coupler Inner Tube
    Yes, the Gooseneck Coupler Head Kit part # GC-HEAD replaces the coupler head on etrailer.com or Ram, round and square Gooseneck couplers. It is designed for use with GCPN Series, GCSQ Series, and GCSQTW Series couplers which all have the 4" inner diameter tube and 4-1/2" diameter outer tube. I have attached a photo of the coupler head installed on Ram Round Gooseneck Coupler part # GCPN-25008 for your reference.

  • Recommendations For Locking A Gooseneck Trailer Coupler
    Though it will ultimately depend on the style of your coupler, we do have a few options available for you to check out. First is the Blaylock EZ Lock Gooseneck Coupler Lock Combo # BLTL-57-40D2. This includes a lock for your coupler as well as for the set screw that holds the coupler in the frame tube. This will fit most adjustable RAM gooseneck couplers, like the # GCPN-25008, but it is kind of limited to that. This is a very common and popular style though, so it may be right for you. If...

  • How Long Is the Outer Tube On the Ram Gooseneck Coupler w/ Load Bearing Pin
    The length of the outer tube on the Ram Gooseneck Coupler w/ Load Bearing Pin part # GCPN-25008 is 20-1/8".

  • What Size are the Set Screws on Ram Gooseneck Trailer Coupler # GCPN-25008
    Ram gooseneck coupler # GCPN-25008 has set screws and a 7/8" diameter pin. The set screws are 3/4"-10 x 2-1/2". It is recommended to use a large crescent wrench to adjust the set screws since they have a square head instead of a hex head like a regular bolt. There is a replacement set available as # SS-34103-BT. The matching set screw nuts are # SS-34103-NT.

  • How Much Clearance is Needed Between Gooseneck Trailer Overhang and Bed Rails
    You want at least 6 inches between the overhang of your gooseneck trailer and the bed rails of your truck. Thanks for sending in a picture of your tow setup. You definitely need to get the nose of the trailer down so that it can be level.

  • Troubleshooting Alignment of Gooseneck Coupler with Inner Tube Replacement
    The B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler - 10" Offset # BWTEXA4200 should be a straight fit. If your coupler was not installed so the pin was horizontal, then there isn't another adapter that will fit correctly. The misalignment will be an issue with any replacement. I recommend replacing your coupler with the Ram Gooseneck Coupler w/ Load Bearing Pin - 8" Adjustment - Round - 2-5/16" Ball - 25K # GCPN-25008. Your only other option is drilling a new hole in your current coupler to...

  • Wall Thickness Of Outer Tube On Ram Gooseneck Coupler
    The Ram Gooseneck Coupler w/ Load Bearing Pin - 8" Adjustment - Round - 2-5/16" Ball - 25K # GCPN-25008 has a wall thickness of 0.21 inches on the outer tube. The inner tube has a wall thickness of 0.24 inches. I reached out to the manufacturer to get these precise measurements for you.

  • Lock for Ram Gooseneck Coupler With Round Tube
    The InfiniteRule Hitch Lock is designed for goosenecks with a 4" round outer tube, and the RAM goosenecks have a 4-1/2" round outer tube like the Ram Gooseneck Coupler # GCPN-25008. For the most security I recommend the Blaylock EZ Lock Gooseneck Coupler Lock Combo - RAM Gooseneck Couplers # BLTL-57-40D2. This has a coupler latch lock and set screw lock and comes with a pair of padlocks for the best way to secure your gooseneck. You also have the option of getting the coupler lock...

  • Gooseneck Replacement Coupler Options with a 4-1/2" Outer Diameter
    Hey Jay, thanks for reaching out!

  • Replacement Gooseneck Hitch Recommendation for Hanover Trailer
    You would want to just remove the tubing and replace it with a setup that includes an inner and outer tube setup like the part # GCPN-25008. A fabricator would have no problem removing the old setup and attaching this.

  • Replacement Gooseneck Coupler Solution for Trailer with Outer Tube Less than 4 inch Diameter
    I have an option for you but since your outer tube is less than 4 inches in diameter we don't have an inner tube that's going to fit. Best option would be to remove the outer tube and weld on something like the Ram Gooseneck Coupler part # GCPN-25008.
