Why Cant Convert-A-Ball Multi-Cushioned Gooseneck Coupler CG Be Used with Ford Gooseneck Ball

Updated 03/28/2019 | Published 03/26/2019

Question:

You say not to use this coupler with a in ball that twists to lock in place. Mine is a ball you in and twist into place and a spring wire locks it, then to take it out you push in on the wire and twist. I have pulled several different styles of goosenecks and never had any issues. So just wondering why this coupler will not work with them? Thanks

Ford and Ram factory gooseneck balls that have a plastic tab on the top, like part # RP19311, are not recommended for use with the Convert-A-Ball Multi-Cushioned Gooseneck Trailer Coupler # CG because the steel surface inside the coupler can chew up that plastic and damage the ball.
