When it comes to towing trailers, especially in scenarios involving short beds or flat-bed trucks, having the right equipment can make a significant difference. SB Gooseneck Trailer Couplers, also known as Short Bed, Extended, or Off-Set Gooseneck Trailer Couplers, offer a solution designed to provide enhanced turning radius, tailgate, and cab clearance for a smoother towing experience.

Key Features:

1. Versatility in Offsets:

SB couplers are available in various offsets, including 6 inches, 9 inches, 12 inches, and 16 inches. This allows users to choose the option that best fits their specific towing needs. Additionally, SBXL models with longer stems cater to trucks with flat-beds, offering a customized solution for different vehicle configurations.

2. Tailored Tongue Weight:

SB couplers are engineered to provide less than 100 pounds of tongue weight on the tow vehicle, ensuring that your towing experience remains stable and controlled. This thoughtful design prevents drastic changes to the dynamics of the tow vehicle and trailer combination.

3. Improved Clearance:

Designed for the standard 2-5/16 gooseneck ball, SB couplers offer additional clearance between the tow vehicle cab and the trailer nose, as well as between the tow vehicle tailgate and the trailer bulkhead. This added clearance not only allows for a broader trailer swing radius but also facilitates a smoother and more secure trailer hookup process.

4. Robust Construction:

SB Gooseneck Trailer Couplers are fabricated using extra heavy wall high-strength tubing, ensuring maximum strength. Unlike standard pipe construction used by many manufacturers, SB couplers are designed for durability and safety, with a remarkable gross trailer weight rating of 30,000 pounds.

Installation and Safety:

All extended gooseneck trailer couplers are equipped with premium "self-latching gooseneck trailer couplers" for the standard 2-5/16 gooseneck ball. The couplers latch securely when the trailer is lowered onto the ball, and uncoupling is a breeze with a conveniently located release cable near the trailer jack handle.

These couplers are precision-cast using Chrome Vanadium Steel, featuring a stainless steel latching pin and a stainless steel spring. They boast a V19 rating of 28,000 pounds, tested rigorously to 42,000 pounds to earn this certification, ensuring reliability and safety during towing operations.

The 12-inch extension option is recommended as the optimal length to meet most extension requirements, providing a balanced compromise between flexibility and stability.

In conclusion, Gooseneck Trailer Couplers offer a comprehensive solution for those seeking extended gooseneck coupler options, combining versatility, robust construction, and ease of installation for a safer and more efficient towing experience.
