We are still exploring our options regarding purchasing a truck/gooseneck.
I found the above truck for sale on eBay. Can you use this truck to tow a gooseneck? I've never owned a gooseneck so I'm afraid I have no idea what kind of clearance is needed.

I think you would have a tough time getting enough clearance over thos tool boxes. You could remove the tool bed off that truck, sell it and apply the cash to a flatbed. But why?
That truck also shows that it has a V-8 gas engine. Ford offered a V-10 and a v-8 gas as well as the 6.0L diesel. The v-8 gas will be the 5.4L and I think that is under powered for any more than a small GN Especially if you drive in any kind of mountains.

Painted Horse is correct about that truck being under powered. And NO way beable to tow a gooseneck with that bed.
Not to mention the price of that truck is WAY TOO HIGH! Just to give you an idea of how much that guy marks his truck up, look at his other listings and you will find a 2004 F-350 extended cab with a Royal Service body, 6.0 Diesel, automatic and 230-k miles listed for 11,995. I sold him this truck back August for $5800.00 and he has listed it every month since. I found the listing.
