Attach this inner tube to your gooseneck trailer to get a heavy-duty coupler with an extra 10" of clearance between your truck cab and trailer. Fits standard 4" outer diameter outer tubes. Easy-to-grip, spring-loaded handle eases hookup.
Features:
Specs:
Note: Distance between end of outer coupler tube and bend near bottom of coupler sleeve should not exceed 6".
With the Extend-A-Goose from B&W you can finally get the clearance you need to tow your gooseneck trailer with your short bed truck. This sturdy steel coupler provides 10" of offset so that you can complete turns even with relatively tight tolerances between your trailer and truck cab.
The easy-to-grip, spring-loaded handle not only makes it simple to properly latch the coupler around the ball, but it also allows you to lock down the coupler for security. Just use a standard padlock (sold separately) to secure the handle in the latched position, and no one will be able to uncouple your trailer from the hitch ball.

Easy-to-grip, spring-loaded handle eases hookup.I ordered this gooseneck coupler and it arrived in 3 days as promised. It's heavy so I took it to a friend to install it. Took maybe 15 min and I can actually turn my truck and trailer without worrys about blowing out the window like I did the week before. So happy I found these guys, super easy to work with. I would recommend this product to everyone with a short bed truck.
This extension makes so much difference in my capabilities to turn and backup without hitting my feeder with the front of the trailer!
Very easy to install with 2 people! We measured the distance from the pin to the bottom of the old hitch so we knew where to put this one. It’s very heavy & solid looking!
I was terrified at every turn of smashing my truck. This extend-a-goose is the answer! Make sure you measure the clearance of your gooseneck support to the bed rails to make sure that extending it the 11 inches doesn’t cause that angled part to impact your truck. The build quality is fantastic, however!! I’m not impressed with the “paint” down around the coupler...after only having it for a month or so I’m seeing rust stains (I will likely cover with a trash bag so it is not out in the elements since it protrudes last the gooseneck overhang. Bottom line, of you want a shortbed and a gooseneck this is a must!!! I no longer worry about crushing my truck and I can swing to about 80 deg off my trailer without worry (before it was maybe 50 degrees) And as always, shout out to etrailer for being a great parts supplier!!!
Allowed me to safely haul my horse trailer with my short bed truck!
Worked perfect and solved my problem with no more broken back windows.
After 40 years of driving a long bed, I bought a short bed truck. My trailer is 8ft wide and without this coupler I could barely turn my truck and trailer around. It made a huge difference.
It does the job but I would not buy it again. The holes drilled in the hitch to adjust the height are offset on a slant to allow the holes to be closer together. Depending on your height selection, it causes the coupler for the ball to turn. In our particular situation when the height is set, the coupler is offset to the left which causes the trailer not to follow directly behind the truck but off to the passenger side. I would rather have the holes in a straight line and further apart than to have the offset in the coupler which I consider bordering on unsafe.
The extended coupler does EXACTLY what I needed - gave me extra turning room for my 8' wide horse trailer. (I've already knocked the back window out once - but no more)!!
Gives me peace of mind that I can travel and camp without a turning restriction.

Still does EXACTLY what I needed it for and has allowed me to make close turns easily. Highly recommend the extended coupler.
great fit, secure mount, seems very strong and good quality materials and welds.
Does not fit all trailers! This isn't the fault of etrailers but it was an expensive lesson for me and now I'm stuck with an expensive doorstop that I can't use. The product information should be very clear that this is not compatible with all trailers.
Perfect fit! I can now pull my gooseneck without worry/issue with my short bed 2500! Been using it for a year now and it’s holding up great! Highly recommend!
Works great. We tow this trailer 3-5 times a week. There’s no signs of wear. Trailer is typically around 10,000 lbs. Moved the trailer back a few inches. Now trailer has no chance of hitting back glass or cab of truck. Bought this after one of my employees popped the back glass on one of my trucks. Now I don’t have to worry about it happening again.
This hitch was easy to install on a Featherlite 4 horse trailer. It has worked well and serves it's purpose to move the trailer back from the cab of the 1 ton shortbed ford we pull with. It's swell made and the latch is simple and can be locked when unhooked. It has pulled about 60k miles so far.
I live in the Flint Hills of Northeast Kansas and we started using a Bar Six Cake feeder on our pickup to take care of cattle on winter pasture. I couldn't pull my trailer without crunching the cake box. I saw an extend-a-goose on another truck with a similar set-up and I thought this might be the answer. I charted out my problem on paper and figured out the trigonometry that I could increase my turning radius by 18 degrees with the 10" drop in the hitch.
I went ahead and ordered the item and installed it the day it came, which incidentally is always very quick with E-Trailer products. It worked like a charm. We still have to be careful with the trailer, but the extender helps me do my job more efficiently.
This prevented the trailer from contacting the cab corner on a Ford 4-door super duty.
This was needed because I bought a short bed F150 ecoboost
I could not use the hitch because my stock height on my 01 Dodge 3500 4x4 was too high. If I drop the hitch in the trailer tube to the height that I need to safely clear my bed it is considered too much to safely tow. Unfortunately it was going to cost over $100.00 to send it back. It just sits brand new in a box in my barn. Most trucks sit too high to use this hitch.
Very sturdy and made very well, works g reat

I bought this for my 8 wide square front trailer. I own a short box and the turning radius was just not what I wanted. Now that I have this I am not worried about smashing out my back window on my truck. The trailer hauls nicely and you would never know the sleeve of the trailer is pushed back.
Outstanding! I bought this hitch one year ago and installed it on my trailer. This hitch makes hooking up to my truck super easy and allows a much larger turning radius. There is never a worry about damaging my tailgate on my truck. Trailer companies ought to have these hitches as a "standard" issue. Thanks to the person or persons that invented this devise!
Quick shipping, friendly helpful people.
Works great, great service
We have 2 of these because we have a short bed F350. Has saved us from damaging the truck bed and we don't have to worry about crunching our 4 door either.
Easy install. Provides clearance to cab in tight turns.

This product works as advertised and enabled my short bed truck to haul my gooseneck trailer without hitting the back of the cab.
