Hide-A-Ball?

[BubbaJo]

So far, every trailer I have owned has been a bumper pull.

Our original plan for my cummins was to get a 5th wheel toy hauler and go camping with the family, but plans have changed.

We are still off-road with our sxs, and my open trailer has zero issues with the sxs or me pulling it.

However, in the not-so-distant future, the boss and I will need another sxs due to our family size and the kiddos loving the sport.

So I've been leaning towards a gooseneck trailer.

Mainly an enclosed one.

My truck will be paid off just over a year from now; at this point and time only has 160k miles on it.

I've been going back and forth on keeping it, garage queening it, using it as a tow pig, and having a 1/2 ton gasser for dd.

If i install a hide-a-ball, will this potentially decrease the value of my truck if I choose to sell it/trade it in, enhance the value of it, or do nothing to the value of it?

Are there any drawbacks to having a hide-a-ball?

In my opinion, it wouldn’t hurt the resale value.

A lot of people look for trucks that already have that setup.

I wondered if people would see it and think, "Oh, she's been pulling heavy and abuse," and keep walking.

Maybe but if they were interested in the truck, they would ask about its history.

I would go ahead and set it up for your needs and enjoy it.

I don’t believe you will have any trouble selling it when the time comes.

Fair enough.

Next question.

A hide-a-ball or 5th wheel rails with a gooseneck plate?

I wouldn’t clutter up the bed with the rails unless you are going to install a 5th Wheel receiver.

I have the B&W Companion setup with the turnover ball; you can add the 5th Wheel hitch later if needed.

B&W has a fantastic reputation as well, with great products.

They have a 3 one-stow-away hitch\ Up to, I think, a 7" drop, which your shins will greatly appreciate in winter.

Little pricey, but you get what you pay for.
