Opinions: FW to gooseneck adapters?
What are your opinions for the gooseneck adapters for the FW hitches? Pro's/ con's? Considering purchasing one. Thanks!

If you want nothing in your truck bed but a rotating/hidden ball, the Star Performance Kingpin Adapter with built-in Glider motion has worked well for me and minimizes any chucking unless the road is REALLY bad.
The ReeseGoosebox is junk. Broke my front crossmember on a REALLY BAD pothole (any hitch might have done the same as the pothole also disabled my transmission... AND knocked my wife's 8lb Kitcheaid mixer OUT of the sink it was laying in). Shortly afterwards the bending action bent the Reesegoosebox. Reese wouldn't even give me a new Goosebox within the 1 year warranty as it wasn't their "fault". Also you're supposed to grease the coupler EVERY tow, and after almost every tow the airbag lost enough air through its pressure relief valve, it needed to be refilled and the thin air hose would take a long time to refill the bag.
