Guidelines for Matching Tow Vehicle and Trailer
Failure to check and follow tow ratings could result in tow vehicle damage or truck and trailer
•Trailer and its contents together must not exceed truck, hitch and/or trailer tow ratings.
•Towing vehicle must have a manufacturer's rated towing capacity equal to or greater than the gross
trailer weight (dry weight of the trailer plus payload of the trailer). (See Fig. 2)
•Gross weight of trailer must not exceed 20,000 pounds for part number 94720, or 16,000 pounds for
part number 94716.
•Goose Ball vertical weight must not exceed 4,000 pounds for part number 94720, or 3,200 pounds for
part number 94716 (See Fig. 3). If in doubt have Gooseball weight measured by qualified facility.
1. Check Tow Ratings:
*Gross Trailer Weight (Figure 3):________________.
*Trailer weight should be the lowest of these recorded ratings for safe towing conditions.
2. The Goosebox is designed for a maximum of 20% Gross Trailer Weight on the Ball (Gooseball Vertical Weight).
See Fig. 3
3. The Height of the Goosebox should be adjusted in the wing set so there is a minimum 7 in. clearance between the
top of the bed and the underside of the front of the trailer for pitch and yaw of the trailer (See Figure 4). This
should be checked with the Goosebox air bag inflated to its nominal ride position (refer to Air Fill / Adjustment,
page 7).
For off-road use, monitor closely and allow more clearance between pickup walls and trailer.
Avoid putting any part of your body under the trailer or between the truck and trailer. Unexpected or
accidental movement of the truck or the trailer can cause serious injury or death
•If you must place any part of your body under the trailer or between the truck and trailer you MUST perform
ALL of the following steps:
•Check that the truck transmission is in park
•Check that the emergency brake is set
•Block in front of and behind all trailer tires
•Check that the trailer landing gear is resting on firm ground
