Goose neck hitch?

I will be acquiring a 2003, F-350 7.3L 6spd. 4x4, Lariat, SuperDuty SuperCab, Single rear wheel with a 6 foot bed. Beautiful shape.

Will I have any problems installing a B & W Gooseneck hitch as far a clearance and turning radius with trailer?

Thanks,

Deadbolt

I would think with a gooseneck trailer you would be fine. You might have some issues with a 5ver though.

agreed, gooseneck will be fine, fiver might be too tight, and with both you may not be able to pull off a tool box, or fuel tank if you planned on doing so.

I had both a 2000 and a 2003 Shortbed CC and had no problems with gooseneck horse trailers.
