I have been using a Husky Hitch for both my 8K 5er and gooseneck applications. I am looking at a 32' gn with 20K haul....
Do I need to get a stronger higher rated hitch to handle hauling 20K on the new gn.

thanks,

Mark

Mark,
If you want the best/strongest GN hitch, check out the Una-Goose. Can't be beat!

You definately need something stronger. The 15K is a static load rating, and I would bet the forces applied during normal driving could be 1 1/2 times the trailer weight, depending on the conditions. I cracked (badly) a hitch rated at 25K with my 17K trailer, Una Goose is rated at 40K (I almost bought one, but was unsure how the install would go). Buy the heaviest, and you will never go wrong.

I emailed unagoose about an interchangable gooseneck and 5th wheel and have not received a response.
Do they provide an interchangable hitch.

I am not sure what you mean by interchangeable, but there are companies that make adapters that convert the fifth wheel hitch to the GN ball.

Tractor hauler,
Reese makes an interchangable 25K hitch.
My dad has it. Works great!

Take a look,

CanadaKev,

Reese was very helpful and I found out that my Husky rails were designed after the reese unit so I can just purchase the 25K GN and be good to go.

Thanks,
