Turn sharply enough and the trailer's nose arrives at the back glass, and the repair bill for a cab corner and a rear window makes the problem worth solving before it happens rather than after. The Extend-A-Goose is B\u0026amp;W's answer from the trailer side: an inner tube that fits into your trailer's gooseneck and offsets the coupler by 10\", moving the pivot point back and buying clearance at the tailgate and the cab. It is heavy-wall tube with internal gussets rather than a light spacer, the coupler on the end is funnel shaped and self-aligning so hookups are easier rather than harder, and the spring-loaded handle is sized to grip properly with a glove on. It takes a padlock. Rated 24,000 lb gross trailer weight and 6,000 lb vertical tow weight, and it fits all standard 4\" inner diameter round trailer tubes. B\u0026amp;W finishes it to look like it belongs on the trailer rather than like an extension bolted on afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB\u0026amp;W Extend-A-Goose gooseneck coupler extension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring-loaded latch handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallation instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10\" of Offset\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt moves the trailer's coupler, and with it the pivot point, 10\" back.

The idea was simple and nobody else had done it: a gooseneck ball that turns over and stores flush with the bed floor, so the truck bed goes back to being a truck bed the moment you unhook. That one product built the company, and B\u0026amp;W still makes its hitches in Humboldt, in a plant that has grown to about 600,000ft². The company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what comes off the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe testing story is worth knowing, because it is not how the rest of the industry does it. SAE J-2638, the standard for gooseneck and fifth-wheel hitches, is a recommended practice, and it is common to satisfy it with a fresh sample for each test. B\u0026amp;W runs a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another, on the same unit. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow line is tested to SAE J-684. Every B\u0026amp;W-brand product is covered by the company's Lifetime Exclusive Limited Warranty to the original consumer, against defects in material and workmanship, for as long as that person owns it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W dealer.
