Elite Series Under-Bed B olt-On Gooseneck Head wi

The REESE Elite Series Under-Bed Bolt-On Gooseneck Head is a heavy-duty towing accessory engineered for serious hauling applications. This gooseneck hitch features a 2-5/16-inch ball coupler and carries a 25,000-pound gross weight rating, making it suitable for full-size pickup trucks and commercial hauling operations where maximum payload capacity is non-negotiable. The bolt-on design allows direct attachment to existing truck bed frames without requiring specialized welding or frame modifications, simplifying installation for users who need reliable towing capacity without permanent alterations.

Constructed from steel with a black powder-coat finish, this gooseneck hitch head resists rust and corrosion in demanding environments—critical for equipment exposed to road salt, moisture, and extended outdoor storage. The 2-5/16-inch ball diameter is the industry standard for premium gooseneck trailers, ensuring compatibility with properly-rated couplers. At 30.4 pounds, the assembly is substantial enough to handle the stresses of loaded trailer towing while remaining manageable for installation and adjustment. The under-bed mounting approach keeps the coupling mechanism recessed within the truck bed frame, protecting the hitch from low-clearance obstacles and reducing snag risk during parking and maneuvering.

This kit is designed for operators managing livestock trailers, equipment trailers, utility trailers, and commercial cargo applications where the 25,000-pound rating translates directly to usable payload. Contractors, agricultural users, and fleet operators depend on gooseneck systems for stability on uneven terrain and during high-speed highway hauling. The bolt-on design appeals to users with factory truck beds who want to retain bed flexibility while adding serious towing infrastructure. Those evaluating gooseneck hitches should verify truck bed frame compatibility and ensure their vehicle's frame is rated to accept the bolt-on load points specified in the installation manual.
