With the Extend-A-Goose from B&W you can finally get the clearance you need to tow your gooseneck trailer with your short bed truck. This sturdy steel coupler provides 10" of offset so that you can complete turns even with relatively tight tolerances between your trailer and truck cab.
The easy-to-grip, spring-loaded handle not only makes it simple to properly latch the coupler around the ball, but it also allows you to lock down the coupler for security. Just use a standard padlock (sold separately) to secure the handle in the latched position, and no one will be able to uncouple your trailer from the hitch ball.

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.

This hitch was easy to install on a Featherlite 4 horse trailer. It has worked well and serves it's purpose to move the trailer back from the cab of the 1 ton shortbed ford we pull with. It's swell made and the latch is simple and can be locked when unhooked. It has pulled about 60k miles so far.
by: Larry08/30/2023
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.
by: Keith07/27/2023
Outstanding! I bought this hitch one year ago and installed it on my trailer. This hitch makes hooking up to my truck super easy and allows a much larger turning radius. There is never a worry about damaging my tailgate on my truck. Trailer companies ought to have these hitches as a "standard" issue. Thanks to the person or persons that invented this devise!
by: Hunter05/08/2020
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: Cynthia06/09/2020
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: Robin 09/19/2023
I bought this extender to give me better clearance between the trailer and tailgate/bumper of my truck . It worked out great ! Have me all the clearance I needed
by: Sheri 06/22/2023
I had to get a shorter bed truck than my old one, and I have a big flat nosed gooseneck trailer that I was afraid I would put the back windows out with. The hitch was heavy but easy to install and I think it is exactly what I needed.
by: Dennis 08/29/2022
Easy install. Provides clearance to cab in tight turns.

This product works as advertised and enabled my short bed truck to haul my gooseneck trailer without hitting the back of the cab.
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.
by: Darwin11/10/2022
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.
by: John W.08/30/2017
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: Billy 09/05/2023
Fast service. Heavy duty extension. Well worth the cost.

Very well built and just what I needed to pull my 36 ft trailer.

It is wonderful, the extension works great and was just what I needed thanks
by: Glenn12/29/2022
This extended gooseneck coupler has made life easier for me. Before I had it going up and down sharp hills in the pasture and turning was a challenge but now I have extra room with a lot of extra clearance, so nothing gets damaged. I would definitely recommend this product.
by: Marie 08/19/2018
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.
by: Kirk 10/14/2023
Shipped within the week and was reasonably priced
by: Karen02/19/2021
We have 2 of these because we have a short bed F350. Has saved us from damaging the truck bed and we don't have to worry about crunching our 4 door either.
by: Michael 04/16/2023
Great product. Just the fix to help keep trailer from hitting cab corner.
by: George A03/06/2017
Good workmanship Fits well Used with B&W 4 in offset 2 5/16 ball in combo to get clearance between trailer corner and shortbed cab rear window on 2011 F350 pickup. Have a gooseneck 3 horse trailer with straight front that I used to pull with a F350 long bed pickup. Shortbed lacked clearance and this product took care of problem.
by: Joe 01/22/2023
The extended goose neck hitch arrived in 3 days, just like you said thank you very much
by: Tammy 05/24/2023
Smartest thing I ever did!! No longer worried about punching out my window making a turn! Love it :)
by: Frank 09/08/2022
The B&W Extend a Goose Coupler worked great for our old 80's vintage stock trailer and our newer short bed Dodge pickup. Plenty of clearance and pulled great!
by: Roslyn10/04/2022
Awesome part! I can safely pull my gooseneck horse trailer and still have a truck that fits in parking spots!
by: Christopher 01/29/2020
Quality product. Installed in about 45 minutes on Big Tex GN. Very tight fit. Had to put old connection under with some blocks and let weight of trailer down on it to get it on.

Had this installed for a year pulling everyday. Installed backwards to shorten overall length of setup. Have had no issues besides changing it out by myself. Very tight fit to install which I figure is a good thing.

- Availability of Offset Ball for Factory Gooseneck Package on 2018 Ford F-350I may have a solution for you, however there is not currently an offset ball available that will fit the factory gooseneck prep package on your 2018 Ford F-350. If you are towing a standard gooseneck trailer, you may be able to use the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler # BWTEXA4200 to give you the clearance you're needing. This coupler inner tube will fit a standrad 4 inch diameter round tube on a gooseneck trailer. The offset design will provide an extra 10 inches of clerance between...
view full answer... - Length of the Vertical Tube of the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler # BWTEXA4200I went out into our warehouse and grabbed a B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler # BWTEXA4200 to get the dimension you are looking for and found it to be 20 inches from the top of the tube down to the weld where it attaches to the lower pipe. If the outer tube of your trailer is 4 inches in diameter and is longer than 20 inches this would fit and would fit all the way into it.

- Distance from Bottom of Coupler to Center of Top Hole on B&W Extend-A-Goose BWTEXA4200I spoke with B&W and on the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler # BWTEXA4200 it is approximately 19-3/4 inches from the bottom of the coupler to the center of the top-most adjustment hole on the round, vertical tube.

- Purpose Of Offset Holes On B And W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler I called my contact at B&W about the Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler, part # BWTEXA4200. They told me that the offset holes are so that the adapter can accommodate couplers that have the pin in different locations, and will not affect the towing of your trailer. I have attached a link to a product review video you can check out.

view full answer... - Will the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler Change Tongue WeightThe tongue weight of your trailer or weight on the rear axle will not change substantially when using the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler part # BWTEXA4200. The only way that your tongue weight would change is if the weight of the new coupler (55 lbs) was more than that of the old coupler you replaced it with. I confirmed this with my contact at B&W.

- Installation of B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck CouplerYourr trailer's coupler uses set screws to hold the tube in place instead of a cross pin. In this case you'll still use the set screws in the same fashion they're being used to install the Extend-A-Goose # BWTEXA4200 and you won't use a cross pin through the pin holes.

- B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler OptionsThe B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler, # BWTEXA4200, is only available in tube inner diameter of 4". There is the Gen-Y series of gooseneck couplers that have an offset along with shock absorbing features but I am not seeing any with the dimension you are requesting. Please see the attached link for this series if any may fit your needs.

The Extend-A-Goose slides into the goose neck trailer's larger outer tube (4-inch diameter is standard). This is certainly something you can do yourself provided that the coupler's 50-lb weight is not an issue. This coupler can be removed and re-installed as needed. It provides an additional 10-inches of clearance thanks to its angled design. The height...
view full answer... - How do I Center the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler During InstallationIn order to center up the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler part # BWTEXA4200 you can measure from the same point on both sides of your trailer to the center front edge of the coupler. When both of these measurements are the same you have the coupler perfectly centered.

Instead of using an offset ball you can use an offset coupler. The B&W Extend-A-Goose # BWTEXA4200 gives you 10 inches of offset which is well more than a hitch ball will. It fits onto gooseneck couplers that have a 4 inch diameter outer tube.
view full answer... - How Long to Install B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler # BWTEXA4200If you check out the install video I attached for the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler # BWTEXA4200 you can see our installer install it just a couple minutes. So if you had a shop hour minimum I'd easily assume that would be all you'd need.

- Will B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler Work on 4 Star Horse Trailer As long as your horse trailer features a 4 inch diameter outer tube (which is pretty standard) the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler # BWTEXA4200 that you referenced will work really nicely to replace its inner tube. It will provide a 10 inch offset for increased cab clearance during sharp turns and it looks to have plenty of capacity (24,000 pounds) for your trailer. When installing the coupler you will just use the set screws to secure it in place just like how they're used for your...

- Will the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler Work on a 5-1/2' BedThe B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler part # BWTEXA4200 isn't designed for any one particular bed size, it simply provides an additional 10" of turning clearance between the truck and trailer. There are simply too many truck and trailer combinations out there to test everything so you'll need to measure to determine clearance. I have attached a photo below to assist with measuring.

You will still want to use caution the first few times to get a really good feel for the turning radius that you will have and not exceed that point so you don't have any issues with contact between truck and trailer. Here is whats said in the instructions: "The coupler must only be used with a hitch equipped with a 2-5/16" ball measuring between 2.283" to 2.313", and a trailer equipped with a conventional 4" inside diameter round sleeve.

You only need to make sure you follow the guidelines for installation (see accompanying cutout of part of the install manual) as well as abide by the coupler's capacities, which are 24,000 lbs towing and 6,000 lbs vertical load.

Instead I recommend using the B&W Extend-A-Goose Coupler # BWTEXA4200 on your gooseneck trailer. It'll give you 10 inches of offset which is way more than you'll get from a hitch ball. It fits on standard 4 inch diameter gooseneck outer tubes.
