"Just Get Close" Gooseneck Coupler

"Just Get Close" Gooseneck Coupler WAGONS/TRAILERS Accessories 25-2-37 Hitching a gooseneck trailer to your pickup is easy with this new self-guiding, self-latching coupler that attaches to the trailer hitch and guides the ball into the locking position anywhere within a 6-in. "capture" area. When the coupler lowers down over the ball it pushes a 3/4-in. dia. steel shaft upward and automatically latches two steel dogs around the ball. "All you have to do is get close," says Frank Harr, Transportation Technologies, Moorcroft, Wyo. "Being able to see the ball from the driver's seat of a crew cab pickup or one equipped with a toolbox or extra fuel tanks can be a real problem "Releasing the trailer from the pickup is easy. You stand beside the pickup bed and insert a æT' handle into a slot on the coupler, then twist the handle to unlock it. A cable can be installed on the coupler and pulled to release it. We also offer an optional push button-operated electronic unit which allows the hitch to be automatically disconnected." Works with any 2 5/16-in. dia. flat top ball (a 1-in. rise is recommended). Sells for $290 to $579 plus S&H.
