The B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler, part # BWTEXA4200 you referenced is designed to be able to attach to the inner tube on a gooseneck trailer and provide an additional 10 inches of clearance from your truck cab for your trailer.

This adapter will fit a standard 4 inch diameter outer tube on the gooseneck, and has a weight capacity of 24,000 lbs. It is designed to fit a standard 2-5/16 inch ball.

I have attached a couple of photos of this adapter and you can see the dimensions. I have also attached a link to a product review video for this adapter you can check out.

answer to John A. It will not fit a flatbed with recessed gooseneck. Not enough height at base.

Thanks so much for this feedback. Just for our reference, can you tell me about how deep your recessed box is on the truck bed?
