This is a trailer that is different in the way that it is attached to the truck. The normal towing capacity is attached at the tow hitch of the truck. When it comes to a gooseneck trailer it is attached over the axle of the truck instead. The weight is then over the back axle and that allows the weight that is then added to the trailer to be distributed out much more evenly. You may have seen this type of trailer during a road trip.
