About Gooseneck Horse Trailers
If you’re looking for exceptional towing stability and a high capacity for multiple horses, the gooseneck trailer is a great choice. The gooseneck trailer provides a superior towing experience due to the sturdy tongue that attaches to the bed of the towing truck. Compared to their bumper pull counterparts, gooseneck style trailers are heavier and more easy to maneuver, and they typically experience less sway when traveling down the road — even in harsh or windy conditions.
Gooseneck trailers are also ideal for travelers who spend a lot of time on the road, hauling their horses to shows and events. Because the gooseneck hitch sits in the bed of the towing vehicle over the axle, it can accommodate more weight. This leaves additional space in the front of the trailer, making it suitable to accommodate luxurious sleeping compartments. If you prefer a non-living quarters trailer, the gooseneck hitch provides additional storage space and ample headroom for your horses.
We at Transwest believe in distributing only the highest quality in light duty-trailers and parts. We know how inconvenient it can be to repair your trailer, so we are proud to offer a convenient line of hitches, B&W products, Trailer Saver products, Dexter axles, Bull Dog products, Firestone Air Springs, Tekonsha Brake Controllers, Equalizer electric jacks, and more from top names. We also provide a range of financing options through our trusted partners.
No matter your needs or budget, you are sure to find a trailer to fit your needs. Give our knowledgeable sales team a call today, and let us help you find the perfect gooseneck trailer for you.
Are gooseneck trailers better than bumper pull trailers?
Depending on your needs, a gooseneck towing style can be a better option for your trailer. The primary distinction of a gooseneck trailer is the long tongue (also called a neck) that attaches to a ball hitch in the bed of the towing vehicle. This gives the gooseneck trailer more stability while cutting down on the sway of the trailer when it is in motion. Gooseneck trailers can hold more weight than their bumper pull counterparts, and they’re ideal for long trips because of their excellent towing stability. If you have a lot of horses and equipment to transport, or if you make frequent cross-country trips, a gooseneck trailer may be the best option for you. Another benefit of the gooseneck trailer is that it is easy to maneuver on the road or in limited spaces.
Can you pull more weight with a gooseneck trailer?
Yes, gooseneck trailers typically have a higher weight capacity than bumper pull trailers. Bumper pull trailers are a common choice for first-time trailer owners; they tend to be more affordable and require little in the way of special equipment.
However, bumper pulls have limited towing capacity because they attach to the bumper of your vehicle. Gooseneck trailers, on the other hand, are more costly on average and do require more specialized equipment. They attach to a ball hitch in the bed of the towing vehicle, using a long tongue for stability. This gives them better maneuverability on the road and allows them to hold more weight. Gooseneck trailers and fifth-wheel hitches can tow similar loads, although the gooseneck style is more commonly used to transport horses and livestock.
Does a gooseneck trailer increase towing capacity?
Gooseneck trailers generally have a much higher towing capacity than bumper pull trailers. A gooseneck hitch can pull up to 30,000 lbs. on average. Bumper pull trailers are typically rated at 5000 lbs. If you need to transport a large load of horses, livestock, and/or equipment, a gooseneck trailer will likely be the best option.
Unlike bumper pull trailers, gooseneck style trailers attach to a pickup truck or a heavy-duty truck; they can’t be pulled by a regular vehicle or an SUV because they require special equipment to attach to the bed of the truck via a ball hitch. Although this system is more involved than that used for a bumper pull trailer, it gives gooseneck trailers much more stability on the road and allows them to hold larger loads.
What kind of truck can pull a gooseneck?
For a gooseneck trailer that has a loaded weight of about 20,000 lbs., you should choose a truck with a diesel engine and an 8-ft. bed. Your truck should always have a higher towing capacity than your trailer’s total weight.
To find the right towing vehicle for a gooseneck trailer, first estimate the trailer’s loaded weight. This includes its curb weight (how much the trailer weighs when it is empty) plus the weight of all horses, livestock, and equipment to be hauled on the trailer. Don’t forget to factor in passenger weight as well. Next, choose a truck that has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) that is higher than the loaded weight of the trailer.
Never attempt to pull a trailer with a truck that has a lower GVWR than the weight of the loaded trailer.
