Location: Missouri | Your only limiting angle now would be the coupler coming in contact with the hitch. I can't imagine that driveway being bad enough to cause that. Unlike 5th wheel hitches, the angle of movement on a gooseneck is so broad it's not even mentioned in the manuals I found. My advise would be to have someone watch the hitch as you enter the driveway, as long as the trailer coupler doesn't contact the ball mount, you shouldn't have any issues. |

Location: Valentine, NE | The two limiting factors, IMO, is that you might think about the nose hitting the head ache rack of the flatbed. We had a short box ranch pickup that the top front of the nose off the trailer would brush the top of the head ache rack going thru a fairly large ditch in a pasture. Bigger problem was that the rear of the trailer than became an anchor as soon as the trailer tires hit the ditch.... If it is a hump that you are going over, the trailer floor dragging off the hump between the pickup rear tires and the trailer tires, would be more of a concern. If the sump (ball area) of the flat bed is big enough to accomodate the hitch components, you should be fine. Good luck. |
What is the limiting factor on angles?
