Conventional vs. Gooseneck Towing
Conventional towing uses a rear-mounted receiver hitch and is common for utility trailers, enclosed trailers, and boats.
Gooseneck and 5th-wheel towing place the hitch over the rear axle, providing greater stability and allowing significantly higher towing capacities. If you're hauling large equipment, construction machinery, or heavy RVs, a gooseneck setup is often the best solution.
Which Super Duty® Is Right for You?
The F-250 is ideal for most contractors and recreational towers. The F-350 adds payload and trailer capacity for growing businesses. If your operation depends on hauling the heaviest loads possible, the F-450 delivers the maximum capability available in the Ford Super Duty® pickup lineup.
