The extender’s rating does not increase the capacity of the truck, hitch, coupler or trailer.
R&P Knowledge Hub
Why Use a Gooseneck Extender? Cab-to-trailer clearance can become limited during sharp turns, especially when truck-bed length and trailer-nose geometry place the trailer close to the cab. Moving the pivot point rearward creates additional working space.
System Compatibility: GNXA4085 is designed for compatible B&W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch models. It is not a universal accessory for every under-bed or factory puck-system hitch.
Installation Notes: Remove the existing Turnoverball component and install the extender according to B&W instructions. Confirm that it is fully seated, correctly oriented and securely retained before connecting the trailer.
Performance Insight: The 4-inch rearward offset changes the pivot location without requiring a permanent alteration to the existing compatible Turnoverball hitch system.
