How many cars do you have to haul? Did you remember to add up the golf cart, motorcycles, and ATV’s too? Now that you have taken a full inventory you probably realize — it’s time to step up to a gooseneck car hauler.
Many people are at first intimidated by a gooseneck car hauler, they see the size and a new type of coupling mechanism and it is something that is unfamiliar; scary! A better understanding of how each system works helps to eliminate this fear and help a customer make a better decision.
The biggest difference between a tag tow behind trailer and a gooseneck trailer is the design of the hitching mechanism. The purpose of having the hitch in the bed is to enable the truck to carry the weight of the trailer directly over its own axles by the location of the gooseneck coupler. This not only makes for a better ride for your cargo, it also makes for a smoother safer pull in your truck. The second benefit to a gooseneck car hauler is the location of the pivot point of the trailer. A normal gooseneck or fifth wheel installation is in the bed of the truck instead of behind the truck. This provides for smoother, sharper turning capabilities on a longer trailer. Whether you choose the gooseneck (ball style) coupler or a fifth wheel plate, both mechanisms assure a positive lock between the trailer and your truck.
So, when you realize it’s time to step up to a larger trailer, don’t be afraid to consider a gooseneck car hauler for your hauling needs. When you are ready, give us a call and let us know how we can help fill your needs in a gooseneck car hauler.
