Welcome back Mike. The B&W 4" Offset Gooseneck Ball # BWGNXA4085 measures 5-3/4" from the bed of your 2019 Ford F-150 to the top of the ball. This is approximately 1-11/16" taller than the standard B&W Turnoverball, and it moves the connection point 4" toward your tailgate for additional cab clearance.

What kind of trailer are you towing with your F-150?

I would tell you that it’s about 4 inches. I don’t have the truck with me right now, but I can check it tomorrow that I would say it is right 4 inches from the bed to the tip of the ball.

@RichardC thanks for chiming in! We have the # BWGNXA4085 listed at 5-3/4" from the truck bed to the top of the ball. The 4" measurement refers to how far it offsets the ball toward the tailgate. If you get a chance to check yours, I'd be interested to hear what you measure!

I won't pull my horse trailer with out the extension , as I broke a rear window one time, This lets me manuever better and can't get in trouble!

@RobB thanks for sharing your experience! Glad to hear the extra clearance has made maneuvering your horse trailer easier. Definitely better than risking another broken rear window!
