Gooseneck Trailers For Sale in Spring, TX

A Buyer’s Guide to Gooseneck Trailers

Buying a gooseneck trailer can be a big investment, so it’s important that you take the time to find the perfect model for your needs! To help, we’ve put together a few useful buyer’s tips for you to review before heading over to our location in Spring, Texas. 

Tow Vehicle

The first thing you’ll need to consider when buying your gooseneck trailer is your tow vehicle! These trailers provide a stable ride and an impressive weight limit thanks to their unique hitch that attaches directly to your vehicle’s bed. However, your tow vehicle will need to be able to support the mechanisms that lock the trailer in place. As a result, your vehicle will need to have an open bed to place the hitch, as well as a powerful enough engine to tow it safely. 

Weight

The larger your trailer is, the more weight it will be able to carry! This is perfect if you have exceptionally large and heavy cargo to transport. However, you don’t want to end up with a gooseneck trailer that’s too heavy to tow. Be sure your tow vehicle can handle both the weight of your trailer and the added weight of your cargo. 

Loading

There are quite a few different ramp options available on the market for your gooseneck trailer. Many trailers come with pre-installed ramps, although there are attachable options as well. The only exception to this is straight decks which tend to come without any included ramps. As you shop, consider the type of cargo you’ll be loading, and be sure to ask your salesperson about the ramp's load-bearing capabilities. 

We hope these tips will prove to be helpful, as you search for your perfect gooseneck trailer. If you’re located nearby in Houston or The Woodlands, Texas, we hope you’ll visit us here at Countryside Trailer Sales for all of your trailer needs!
