Where can I order an offset gooseneck hitch ball?
I would like to find an offset gooseneck ball that works with the factory gooseneck hitch system on my 2017 F350. I want more space between the back window of my cab and the gooseneck trailer. Looking for something like this, that works with the round receptor in the bed of my F350:

you can get a number of goosneck tubes for the trailer that offer the extension. https://www.etrailer.com/Gooseneck-T...WTEXA4200.html that's the B&W one.. I believe Pop-Up makes one as well. They come in different amounts of extension..

Thanks! My trailer shop said the B&W extenders fit into a square hole and won't work with the round receptor of the new Fords. I can add an extender to the trailer gooseneck but would prefer to just swap out the standard ball in my truckbed for an offset extender ball. Hoping someone here has found a way to do that.

I think to do something on the ball side would require using something simlar to the adaptor frames for the 5th wheels that lock into the pucks. If you had a welder you really trusted, they could probably make you a drop in that uses the gooseneck mount, and 2 of the puck spots to hold orientation. But at that point, might as well just replace the goosneck tube on the trailer.

Yesterday, I had a 9" extender added to the gooseneck tube on my horse trailer. What an improvement! More room allowing the tailgate to be down when it's hooked up, more room between trailer and cab for turning, and even more space between bed sides and gooseneck overhang. Problem solved!
