im trying to figure out what the max tow weight would be with a gooseneck. im assuming it would be like loading your bed full for the max tounge weight. Any information would help greatly. thank you in advance.

It's not recomended to pull a gooseneck/5th wheels with 1500. Most places won't install the hitch even

B&W produces a gooseneck for the 1500s. They recommend that the towing capacity not be exceeded under any circumstances. Which I believe is around 10,000lbs. We install them all the time in 1500s. They are mainly used to pull cattle/horse trailers.

You can check them out at www.turnoverball.com

I also found this for those that were wondering.

I have a short bed truck. Will the Turnoverball work with short beds? Even 5' 6" beds?
As we all know, short bed trucks have become very popular trailer towing vehicles. The short answer is, "yes, the Turnoverball can be installed on every full-sized truck on the market." That said, it is very important that turning clearance is considered for every truck and trailer combination that will be used.

B&W offers a 4-inch extender that plugs into the receiver socket of the Turnoverball and moves the pivot point 4 inches rearward.

B&W also offers the Extend-A-Goose Coupler which offsets your trailer 10".

I'm on my phone so I can't navigate it right now
