im about to get into the car hauling business, transporting cars nationwide.im looking to get a 4 car trailer and I havent decided yet which kind of hitch is best to use for this type of towing. would a fifth wheel hitch be better or a goosneck hitch? which makes my drive/ride smoother and has less complications? can someone give me some tips on this please?

 

If you do the correct gooseneck hitch, it has a really cool 5th wheel attachment. And your bed is readily usable. A standard 5th wheel hitch is too intrusive.

 

A four car hauler I would go 5er. You end up with a lot of wieght up high which is where the gooseneck doesnt perform as well. If you were sticking with a straight deck three car trailer a g/n would be ok. But to go 4 cars you have to have one up on the hitch. With that car up on the hitch a 5er will be much more stable.

You should be able to get the trailer w/ both hitches.

BTW: Welcome to FTE!!

I have a F-250 w/8in lift. I am worried about the clearance of the fifth wheel from the bed when using the goose neck conversion. Is it possible to have just as much clearance as yours?
