Thinking about purchasing a new trailer? Unsure about the difference between a gooseneck and a 5th wheel?
Here's a breakdown of the key distinctions:
Gooseneck Hitch:
1. Uses a hitch ball to connect the trailer to the vehicle.
2. Mounted underneath the truck bed and bolted to the truck frame.
3. Ideal for commercial and agricultural towing (e.g., livestock, horse, and flatbed trailers).
5th Wheel Hitch:
1. Designed specifically for towing recreational vehicles (RVs) or travel trailers.
2. Attaches to the trailer's kingpin.
3. Features a large metal frame bolted to the base of the truck.
