Thinking further about an F350 truck with flat bed, I gradually succumb to the idea of a standard cab (as opposed to super or crew cab) in order to get a full 12 foot bed and it sinks in that the remaining problem with that is one cannot put the gooseneck ball in the ideal location... at, or slightly in front of, the rear axle.
Having said that, today I saw an F350 12 foot flat bed with gooseneck ball..but sure enough, it was positioned about a foot behind the rear axle.
So the big question is, just how detrimental would it be to be that far back ? Would it simply be an issue of reduced capacity on the gooseneck trailer near the front, so as not to get the truck front too light ? Or would there even be tracking or fishtailing issues to consider ?
