Gooseneck Trailers, Kansas City, MO

Trailers come in all shapes and sizes, each designed to make hauling goods or equipment easier. There are two main ways that a trailer can hitch to your tow vehicle: bumper, tag-along style, and gooseneck. Gooseneck trailers are a popular choice for a wide range of trailer options thanks to their tow capacity, stability, and versatility, and here at Trailers Direct of Kansas City, we carry a number of gooseneck options in our inventory.

Unlike bumper or tag-along hitch-style trailers that attach to the rear bumper of your tow vehicle, gooseneck trailers are designed with a raised, forward-extended coupler that attaches to a ball hitch in the center of the bed of a truck. This design offers added stability and maneuverability since it distributes the weight of the trailer more evenly between the two vehicles’ front and rear axles. This often also increases the towing capacity, allowing you to haul heavier cargo with your tow vehicle. The specific load capacity of a gooseneck trailer will depend on factors like size, axel configuration, and construction, but you can generally expect gooseneck trailers to be capable of hauling loads ranging from several thousand pounds to several tens of thousands of pounds.

You can find a gooseneck option for many different types of trailers. They are a popular configuration for livestock trailers thanks to their added stability and maneuverability, and it’s a common style for flatbed and equipment trailers for those same reasons. While gooseneck trailers do have the limitation of only being compatible with truck-style tow vehicles, they are a favored option for those who need increased towing load capacity, maneuverability, and stability.
