Can i tow a gooseneck horsetrailer with a short bed truck?

 

Depends on the trailer. If it has a square nose, you really shouldn't. Most noses are tapered, and can be hauled quite safely by a short bed truck. Worst case you can purchase a extension on the hitch, moving the ball 6" backwards.

I tow with a C2500 shortbed and a F150 shortbed, with three different gooseneck horse trailers, and all do it just fine Just have to be careful backing up.

 

Do you have the ball over the axal or back a bit?

 

Both ours have the ball directly over the axle.

 

I tow a 24 foot 11000 pound horse trailer with my short be. Installed a B & W with a 4 inch extension. Can't turn 90 degrees, but close. It can be done and safely.

 

Yes you can, even if it has a square nose...you just have to watch it when you are cutting it really sharp.
