Are there any gooseneck trailer companies that do NOT fit a 59inch truck height properly?

Or certain years I should not be purchasing (older than *insert year*)

I’m wanting to purchase a gooseneck trailer but (ideally a 4star, Elite, etc etc) but I’m open to ideas.

Thanks!

Hello -
MANY older, newer and new will be too low for 59" to the top of the truck bed rail - you will have to look at each trailer you are interested in as an individual and measure to make sure they give enough clearance...

Have to measure if you are not familiar with just looking. Alot of 4 Star, Elite, Platinum, higher end type trailers with living quarters have a drop gooseneck to add more room in the bed area which makes for a lower gooseneck. (perfect for flatbeds)
If they do not have a LQ package most of the time they are normal necks!

Older trailers are generally worse than newer ones, as trucks were shorter then. I see a lot of older trailers that are nose high to clear the truck bed.
