Question:
Will adding the B and W Gooseneck Extender TEXA4200 change the amount of weight on the ball/rear axle vs. the straight gooseneck on the trailer?

Expert Reply:
The 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.

Hello Conner. I want to ask the same question again. When you say the weight won't change substantially, I believe you are saying under 20lbs or so lighter? Or no change at all barring the difference between coupler weights? I have a 40' enclosed Intech trailer that puts over 3K on the pin. My 2500 SB handles it great now. Want to make sure this 10" won't change the handling characteristics. And also, can you confirm that the B&W provided hole patterns will be compatible with my 2024 Intech GN? Thanks for the response.
