Round Tube Gooseneck Coupler With Load Bearing Pin

Description The RAM Round Tube Gooseneck Coupler 2-5/16″ 25K with Load Pin, part #31-GCPN-25008, delivers a strong and stable connection for heavy gooseneck towing. It fits a standard 2-5/16″ in-bed gooseneck ball. When matched with properly rated components, it supports up to 25,000 lbs GTW. This coupler is built for trailers that use a round gooseneck tube. As a result, it works well on flatbed gooseneck trailers, heavy equipment haulers, livestock trailers, and commercial work trailers. In turn, it helps keep the trailer level and controlled behind the truck. The round tube design installs cleanly and securely. The outer tube measures 4-1/2″ in diameter, while the inner tube measures 4″. In addition, the inner tube features a wall thickness of about 0.24″, which adds strength for demanding towing applications. With roughly 8″ of vertical adjustment, this coupler lets you fine-tune ride height. Therefore, you can easily match different trucks and bed-mounted hitch heights. Typical installed height runs about 30″ when retracted and extends to roughly 38″ at full adjustment. This coupler uses a curved internal ball clamp for a tight, secure fit on the hitch ball. As a result, clunking and slack at the hitch are reduced. The protected latch design also helps shield moving parts from dirt, debris, and impact. The kit includes a load-bearing pin for height adjustment. First, set the desired height. Then drop in the pin to lock the position. Finally, tighten the set bolt to eliminate movement between the tubes. For installation, weld the coupler to the trailer’s gooseneck frame using proper welding procedures. Pair it with a 25K-rated in-bed gooseneck hitch and 2-5/16″ ball. Before every trip, verify full latch engagement for safe, confident towing.
