might be getint this trailer for free, hooked it up to my bumper temerary just to see if I could pull it and I can, just need to flip my my hitch upside down or get a different one. yes all the waight is on the truck, if I get it I am going to move the axles forward to get rid of some tongue waight off and cut all the top off and make it a flat bed for the car. P.S. yes I know it is a gooseneck hitch, it will also fit a 2 5/16 ball.

wholy crap that things huge

I would put a 5th wheel hitch on your dak. then it will look better.

but why do you need a trailer that big?

I would raise the hitch in the bed about 6-12 inches off of the bed. That would work, or cut the goose neck off and put in a whole new neck at the bottom.

i would invest in a great brake conversion kit, plus it needs a good painting

They do make 5th wheel hitches for the dakota..My cousin is a Tech at Longview RV and he told me about a 2nd Gen Dak with a 5th wheel hitch
